Re: Match Thread
6.14, pretty much sums it up.
We’ve regressed back to the Richo era Saints. We’ve totally forgotten what we did and how we played the first half of the year.
Too many plodders keep getting picked. Seb team high clangers again. Geary cost us the first goal of the game and 2 in the last quarter. How many goals has Hill kicked this year? King looks to have the cleanest hands on the ground in our forward 50...
We haven’t played a good game since we beat the Swans. Time to stop accepting mediocrity.
Like someone said earlier, my opinion of Ratten has dropped this second half of the season. What is the game plan? Why do we keep making the same mistakes over and over and over...

After 30 years, the club will have work hard for me to renew my membership next year. I will need to be convinced and my membership not just taken for granted. Truly gutted!!!

Re: Match Thread
Clark had a good last quarter but is still a kid. Our senior players are letting us down too much. That's what defines the better teams.
Billings, Ross and Geary never step up when we need them because they aren't good enough. How can our younger players look up to these guys when they continually let the side down?

Re: Match Thread
Well I am just shattered , stunned really. I stupidly let myself believe in the last quarter that we were going to win. Clearly we should have won. King and/or Hill kick eminently gettable goals and we win.
Like so many others , I am staggered by selection. I, and others on this forum, queried in advance the selection of 4 small forwards. Two are enough . Butler and Lonie were quiet , but even so were miles ahead of Hind and Kent. Those 2 have to be dropped next week.
Then there is the game plan. Goodness me, it is so ineffective.
To those of you preparing to take out writs against the umpires , I wish you would stop. I know you won’t, and it is an open forum , but I record the fact that I don’t agree with you. The umpires made some mistakes ( yes, those 2 deliberates were shockers ) but they were a darned sight better than most of our players. We were not good enough , just not good enough.
I am not going to sleep well tonight , as I stupidly invested mentally in this game. Bugger.

Re: Match Thread
Groundhog Day.
We just weren't prepared to pay the price when it counted.
Same issues for years - bombing into the forward line. Picking out defenders. Kicking it to the defenders advantage.
Game on the line and winnable with time running out - hit the boundary!
We really needed to play another key position player in the back line as well. I knew it would cost us and I really believed that Carlisle would be a late in right up until the match started. Well, I was certainly wrong about that.
I can't believe that Kelly and Ryan were just allowed so much space all night.
And once again our 5 year + players didn't provide any leadership when it really counted.

Re: Match Thread
When we lost to Melbourne, I was as disappointed as I have been since the North loss in Round One.
This loss confirmed some things....
Our defence was overwhelmed and out of position again.
Our selection baffling (No Carlisle, why Kent is still picked?)
Our forwards were weak.
We lack skill and class.
God damn awful...
They made seven changes. They lost McGovern. They easily beat us. It could have been worse.

Re: Match Thread
I know everyone is very disappointed 'but gee' (normally use stronger words) can't you see we are still building and were completely outclassed by arguably the best team in the competition. I thought we put in a good effort and it was a tragedy it go away from us in the end, but I feel the effort by a majority of our lads was first class. We have been playing above ourselves all year and I reckon we have a slightly better chance next round.

Re: Match Thread
8pts up and everyrhing going our way and NicNat does one tap over the back in a contest on the wing from a kick out and ....... everything changed ..... it was a set play as 3 Eagles ran past the pack waiting for it and we got caught out ...... one minute later the Freeagles were in front

Re: Match Thread
If Hill keeps having giggles with the opposition players, I'll go nuts. It's not a good look and Ratts should call it out. Ratts went on last year about poor disposal, but Ross keeps getting games- he did a few low percentage efforts tonight. If Butler can't get a few goals, and the opposition sit on Jones, then we're out of business- Geelong showed everyone how and we haven't been the same since.

Re: Match Thread
We sucked at the end but it must be ace to know when you are Eagles that you will just get that rubbish free to give you a little lift and put the wind back in your sails.

I admire your stoicism, but the Eagles had the guts ripped out of their team by injury both before and during the game and were ripe for the picking.The Peanut wrote: ↑Thu 10 Sep 2020 11:12pm I know everyone is very disappointed 'but gee' (normally use stronger words) can't you see we are still building and were completely outclassed by arguably the best team in the competition.

Re: Match Thread
Not blaming anyone as it was a great set play to get the ball forward - they were struggling before that moment to get ball past the wing - unfortunately he meet the ball perfectly and we weren't awake to itThe_Dud wrote: ↑Thu 10 Sep 2020 11:18pmGo back and watch who allowed that tap over the back to hurt us.Devilhead wrote: ↑Thu 10 Sep 2020 11:13pm 8pts up and everyrhing going our way and NicNat does one tap over the back in a contest on the wing from a kick out and ....... everything changed ..... it was a set play as 3 Eagles ran past the pack waiting for it and we got caught out ...... one minute later the Freeagles were in front
But hey Howard watching Allen mark the ball standing 3 feet away on the behind line in the 2nd quarter ...... blame away

Re: Match Thread
At the moment it's the pain of being so close to playing finals with the ball in our hands on our court and we are throwing air balls
If it wasn't for that last bulls*** goal it would have been another very winnable loss under 10pts
Not sure what these losses are mentally doing to this team but at the moment it seems the team themselves don't think they belong

Re: Match Thread
To have any chance of getting to play finals without relying on other results we must get rid of the ball butchers and non contributors. Kent, Hind and Lonie are not up to it and Ross and Geary should be wearing striped aprons. Time to bring back Carlisle, Savage, Roberton, Bytel and have a look at Langlands. If Hanners is available he replaces one of the last two for some on field experience

Cost the first of the last quarter by letting the ball get passed him in the middle leading to the Kennedy goal, and them getting a run on.
Cost another in the last because he panicked in a simple one-on-one.

Well done to all you stoics for sticking it out.
Were they missing 8 of their top 12 And had one of their stars go down at half time?
We refuse to take our chances
GWS will run back onto form next round....ink it in.
in the first ,
when we went backwards & lost the pill
turned it back on with a minute and a bit left
in the last
turned it straight off again
dermie was right
we don’t win because we are st kilda
