They turned up for the four points, we turned up to get paid. Their are better coached than our team and it shows in the confidence they have in each other.

Seriously you just constantly embarrass yourself with dribble like this.saintkid wrote: ↑Thu 15 Apr 2021 10:29pmHe hasn't to date after 8 years and never will. He is one of our several physically inept players and when the opposition bring their A game together, he and a number of others go missing.

No, it's the bloke who recruited those 2 that needs to go.
Where was his due diligence?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
Both those long and lucrative contract signings have been a cancer to the team and the younger players, Hannebery more so and it's a noose over the club's head. Thank you Lethlean..can't wait to see the back of this spud administrator.
A club that can't nurture talent within is doomed. We've been incredibly poor since 2011 and still can't get it right a decade later.

30 inside 50s
Halfway through the last
And we think it’s a FORWARDS problem?!
King and Carlisle have barely got a possession since Q1

They are f****** horrendous.
No defending this.
Not one player on deck.
Not one.
Defend this rabble and you are dilusional.

Chip chip chip chip then kick to contest and watch it come back in. No run tigs set up their zone and it's all over.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
Good call, fair call. Just goes to show anyone can get a Brownlow vote, sadly B&Fs, Brownlow votes appear to be the only justification of a players worth. Give me the Bont in front of Scott West, Leigh Matthews in front of Tom Mitchell, Nick Smith in front of Brad Hardie.desertsaint wrote: ↑Thu 15 Apr 2021 10:36pmhaha. that was to illustrate the weirdness of your call. if only we had this useless player instead of this almost as useless player. there's a lot of crap players out there tonight, but you're pinning it all on the one who hasn't played for over a year, and lamenting the one we let go. let it go.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Thu 15 Apr 2021 10:27pmExcept you who cares enough about how many Brownlow votes each player has. Another stupid post.desertsaint wrote: ↑Thu 15 Apr 2021 10:21pmi think you're inventing an argument. where have i suggested i'm enjoying dunstan's effort? you are obviously still carrying a grudge we booted acres. most don't care. why even mention him? just enjoy the gameGhost Like wrote: ↑Thu 15 Apr 2021 10:13pmIs he?

That's one of the stupidest posts ever. We are chocka block with inside mids & we select the worst of them to complete a Full House.

total career brownlow votes:
dunstan 6
acres 2
acres was the most overrated player on here since rix rox rux.![]()
An embarrassing night on so many levels for St Kilda.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
Totally outcoached tonight
Tigers just sat players on the outside and our players continually got sucked into the contest again and again and again ...... and we did nothing about it
Our short kicking plan also played into the Tigers hands allowing them to reset time and time again - I could count on 1 hand the amount of times we took a mark and played on immediately - we were completely stagnant after 1/4 time
4 inside mids??
Marshall & Ryder are huge for this team ..... even just 1 of them

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
Sorry B.M., how does your last line make sense to your 2nd last line? Are you arguing for forwards or only those forwards under 6 foot?
Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
Effort is deplorable.
Steele aside they should be embarrassed.
Choosing when to try shows a real lack of character.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
What a completely apathetic performance. Our midfield selection and rotations were putrid. This is what you get when you play players like Hunter & Dunstan.
We have absolutley no speed in defence, Coffield, Clark Wilkie and Sinclair are not quick enough.
Ratts has his hands full as our game plan looks a mess. I have said it a number of times this year we will finish in the bottom 6 this year. We will have a year similiar to Melbourne in 2019.
The club needs to take a step back and recruit some kids as our list is slow and poorly skilled.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
Too many inside midfielders and not enough outside run.
We somehow got away with it vs WCE.
Mason Wood might have helped?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
One week of high effort and then the Somnambulist Saints™ are back again.
Only thing unforgivable is giving up and lack of effort.
We do that way too often.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
So our glorious 2020 defence is officially shredded? Dustbin?
Or is our midfield the culprit?
Suddenly, the forwards are OK.
Mr Battle will be in pain.
Mr Long, the same.
Or so he should be, says Mr Wilkie
Don’t bag Hill, he ain’t no coward
Questions for Mr Howard
That are not in his own sauce
It ain’t fair
To blame mr Sinclair
Oh dear oh dear
2020 is plenty plenty
Of too much praise
And bad stocks to raise
It stinks and is sad

Re: Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021
You’d have to wonder why there was such a shift with the ball movement after q1
We were deliberately going slow (obviously in an attempt to stop the turnover kicks)
But we simply couldn’t get through their defence!!!!
King was on fire when we shifted the ball quick and he got one on ones
After q1 he didn’t get a kick!!!
Due to the slow ball movement
