Re: Rd 2 predictions
I have little or no confidence in this present team and The way it’s being coached
Another loss on the way. Until there Is a viable system and a showing of some real guts with skill improvement the situation will remain the same
Loss by 25

Re: Rd 2 predictions
Brett will not come up with anything new. Longmuire will not be surprised.
We will not have goal scoring mids.
Max will drop at least 3 for every one he takes.
Butler will add nothing on a big ground - his kicking lacks penetration.
Our best will be Hill, Steele, Ross, Hayes, Marshall and Membrey.
Someone needs to kick 5 or 6 for us to win.
We lose, 4 to 5 goals. Rath will rationalise it as a tactical progression lesser mortals don't understand.

Re: Rd 2 predictions
I reckon we come out breathing fire and win comfortably despite a late wobble.
Higgins bounces back. King snags three.
Unless Kent is selected. If that happens we lose by 5 goals

Freo, 10 more free kicks than us. 18 point loss.

Re: Rd 2 predictions
Kent picked in the side for round 2
Kent kicks a goal in the first half.
Saints midfield gets shown up again.
Freo wins by 25 points.

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

Re: Rd 2 predictions
Freeo only just beat Adelaide (without Tex) by a point. I reckon they'll be switched on and win by 45. I say this with absolutely 0 confidence of course.

Re: Rd 2 predictions
Best comment.
You know the umps favour the Perth team in Perth.
Free kicks will hurt, both the ones they miss in our F50 (Hayes) and the ones they pay against us (Wood)
As well as the ones they pay to Freo in their F50.
Free kicks (missed) will cost us 4-6 goals, and Freo's goal range frees or our frees missed in D50, will be about the same.
The Western Saints told me via DM that Optus is 50% capacity.
There's about 1000 WA Saints members, we have a 2 hr window tomorrow on ticketmaster.
Tickets last yr sold out in 1/2 hr.
This yr, fewer tickets.
That means less Sainter crowd noise compared to last yr

Re: Rd 2 predictions
Freo have three highly capable tall defenders. If we don't play a third tall forward, King will be double teamed all day. It's just so damn obvious.

Re: Rd 2 predictions
Sharman needs to come in and float around the forward half, and pick up a few goals, but I would like to see Max leading more, otherwise players coming down the ground just bomb to the square if there's no targets. I don't know what we do with the midfield- just too bloody slow by hand and foot.

Re: Rd 2 predictions
The saddest thing is not many of us expect to win!
This club needs to win back supporter trust. Far too often in important or marquee games they have seriously let themselves and their supporter base down. Ratten reading the riot act happened often last year so the team will lift their effort but get the same result.
I was a Ratten fan, but he is getting hard to support when the team make the same dumb errors year after year.
Prediction: 30 point loss.

Re: Rd 2 predictions
I also expect us to bounce back.
We were leading in the last quarter last week. Something was working..for a while.
If we get a hiding...we will proceed to the Port of Fremantle, board the 'Lady of St Kilda', and sail west in the direction of MH370.
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

I reckon we will win because we played on Friday night and they played on Sunday. That has to help usImpatient Sainter wrote: ↑Wed 23 Mar 2022 6:41pm The saddest thing is not many of us expect to win!

Re: Rd 2 predictions
Round 1 shows us that it could be another year like the last 10 .
Over that time we've been capable of beating anyone on any given day .
E.g. We beat Richmond in 2 of their premiership years .
We just need to be switched on .
Friday night we were pissweak in the first half . Better in the second but the damage was done .
If we play like that against freo we will lose .
If we're switched on then we're a big chance .
Unfortunately Ratts is going the way of Watters and Richo in their inability to get the team fired up each week .
