Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
Cheer up. Reckon we're doing OK except for forward 50 dysfunction.
Kick to Wiklie definitely 15m but play on, goal to Port.
Higgins decapitated in front of goal, play on.

Too many fumbles and handball errors. I can't see any area where we can beat them. Their poor kicking for goal cost them a four goal lead. Our missed shots were just as bad.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
I doubt it. I think we are looking fitter than them, and that's my main hope for the second half. Our biggest problem has been that we are getting smashed in the midfield. That's happened before, and our backline has been able to compensate to some exent, but they are having a poor game tonight by their very high standards: Wilkie and Sinclair have both made some uncharacteristic mistakes.The Fireman wrote: ↑Fri 28 Apr 2023 10:06pm Just hoping the 5 day break isn’t detrimental to seeing this game out

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
I’m sick of listening to Garry Lyon continue his StKilda hate agenda by banging on about the Booing of Horne-Francis. How about calling out Collingwood who boo everybody continuously. Absolute goose.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

They need to strip off and take the field if we are any chance. Out only hope is if they get tired from all the crash bang tackles.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
We look fatigued, flat, overwhelmed in the midfield and can’t find a marking target in the forward 50. Will we EVER beat Hinkley outside of the COVID gap year? Are we that pathetic?

Every team had had an off week. Maybe it’s our turn this week.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
A loss would rekindle the fire.
In the context of the season, it’s a good effort so far.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
If we begin to stick some tackles and return to thinking team football we will win by 5 goals. Let them worry about us, keep Rozee quiet and pressure Horne-Francis. Quite simple.
Nothing to do with Cordy. Release Sinclair & tell Stocker to get his head out of his ar$e & chase & defend.

Against Hinkley, the team we just can’t beat. Will we ever play them at the right time?

People who are booing the young port payer are assholes. You are only making him and his mates play better. Stop it FFS.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
The misses by Phillipou and Wood hurt us early in the 2nd. Then we became erratic moving the ball inside 50.
One thing I have noticed is that Tim Membrey just doesn't do enough defensively. We actually miss Caminiti.
The midfield fell in a hole that quarter. Need to lift.
This is the first time this year that we've been killed on the rebound

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
They did. But they expended a lot of energy in getting to where they got. And they used their sub early on and Dixon is playing on one leg. So they are vulnerable if we can keep running. On the other hand, I'm worried about NWM: will he be back, I wonder?The Fireman wrote: ↑Fri 28 Apr 2023 10:16pmWell hope you’re right but port looked very good that qrtmeher baba wrote: ↑Fri 28 Apr 2023 10:09pmI doubt it.

Hinkley looks like he would stink of ciggies.
Not sure why I think it, but it’s there.
