Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers
Was so looking forward to a nice Friday night. What a pathetic performance. Hard run home, playing like individuals again, won't make finals at this rate.

Even bog standard footy supporters like us can see that the Match Committee are way off the mark with our forward structuredesertsaint wrote: ↑Fri 17 Jun 2022 9:59pm if the last week didnt tell us surely this week shows that we need that extra tall in coops instead of having two of butler and higgins. even more glaring every time we send members back in defence - which seems to be happening a lot.

Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers
Surely the players need to take the blame for being soft and pathetic tonight.

Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers
f****** embarrassing Saints. A few players need to lift. Our small forwards are s*** tonight. We haven't come to play at all. Hopefully they turn up for the second half
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers
That is pathetic.
Serious questions to be asked.
Marshall - if not fit don’t play but he is a waste of space right now.
Butler and Higgins - selfish
Clark - cruises at half pace
Jones - goes missing
Long - not good enough
Ryder - struggling with no help from Marshall

There is more holes in this side/game plan than Swiss cheese
Selection is baffling - Butler has been found out by 2 clubs now and keeps being GIFTED AFL games off a 2020 season ???
Honestly I do not care if they best Swans next week - good sides x don’t lose these games it’s that simple
And if they refuse or have not met with Al Clarkson then our Board is incompetent

Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers
Even before the game we had posters worried about a game that we shouldn’t be worried about
Why? Because deep down we know how brittle this side is. Flashy players like butler gresh Higgins don’t like pressure
Displeasing

Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers
It all starts in the midfield, and we probably have one of the worst in the comp at the moment. Seriously need to get some class in there.

Forward structure
Transition play has been an issue for donkeys and STILL no change ???
WTF is Ratten actually doing about it???
It’s structural there is no process at all
DO something- try Sincs on the ball
Hill to wing
Billing’s HF
DO something
Abd if Marshall can’t get a kick he needs a spell - Ryder doing it all
Long is at least tackling hard - Butler???? Puff piece

But I called this like 4-years ago when we played Kent, Lonie and Butler in the team... and I had the grumble even before that when we did Weller, Newnes and other forward pockets.
It appears hell will freeze over before we abandon this strategy no matter often it fails
Heck we did Kent, Butler and Higgins in rd1 this year. We love it.

Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers
Marshall and King running to the same spot each time.
Jones runs around like a headless chook
Players not running hard to provide a target.
No tackle pressure
Tentative
Allowing opposition half backs to just run freely up the ground
Atrocious decision making
Complete lack of cohesion
Clark not fit enough
Marshall moving like a glacier
King refusing to run up the centre of the ground
