Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 20 2021
Wasted year. No improvement in game plan, clearance structures, ball movement, F50 entry strategy, could go on.
We will never win a flag with Ratts. Might do with someone currently available.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 20 2021
Would have been better to leave Hunter our of the team. Another runner would have been more value

He has days/nights where it looks like he’s never kicked a football before, I don’t think he managed to get one to spin properly tonight.

Never had our best side out on the ground or close to it. Blokes missing large chunks of games. Tonight we had 6 players in their first or second season.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 20 2021
Only 3 weeks of this shite left in 2021.
Then over to the recruiters.
Oh Boy !

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Dunstan and his manager will be spewing tonight. Just knocked 100K off his next offer.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 20 2021
It's pure theatre, the way our games go, sometimes.
Giftng an easy goal on the siren to a Blues player, former captain, medical sub, just for old times sake.
Kind of like a fast bowler, final ball of the innings, giving an easy slow bouncer to a batsman on 94 so he can get a 6 for his ton
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤![🤍](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f90d.svg)
and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 20 2021
Dunstan is a keeper for me despite some dodgy disposal, does plenty of the grunt work
Butler up and down this year but is genuinely classy and when he's on, he's on - need him
I agree with everything else you've said

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 20 2021
As an inside mid
If you didn’t get clearances you’d be hopeless
We had 60 hit outs to 10
It’s what you did with them that counted
We scrubbed it from clearances they walked it out

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 20 2021
Am shocked at the criticism directed at Dunstan tonight.
Not his best night and poor disposal but bloody hell he turned up and competed all night which is a hell of a lot more than can be said for Ross who was more than happy to sit in space for a 1/4 and a half.
Got 6-7 touches in the last 10min to lift his numbers from appalling to baseline but no impact on the game, poor effort, no leadership
Give me Dunstan any day of the week. Kid is a competitive beast

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 20 2021
Too many injuries all year on the back of what appears to have been an inadequate preparation. Our midfield still lacks sufficient class, run and spread. If we don't find another 198cm defender it'll be hard to seriously challenge

Crouch seams to avoid criticism somehow
