Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Hey, at least Sandringham outscored us in their first quarter vs North....2 goals to our 1.
Suddenly RTB looks like Ross at a Loss...2 losses last 3 games and a very shocking start in this one....North have a chance!
Game plan was unsustainable with our team from the start. It was still great to see the youth have a crack but by week 5 the team was worn...people can excuse it by saying its only round 5 or other teams are at same standards....but our previous 2 yrs the lads training was not comparable. This preseason ( which is now up to afl standard) is like 4 games to these bodoes before the season starts....
Our boys have looked tired and weary since round 5....

I think I’d rather put a replay of the Good Friday game on over this…

He’s not big and strong enough to be a bear in the square. Relies on a vertical leap. Good third banana, but we’re asking him to be firstTeflon wrote: ↑Sun 07 May 2023 6:10pmThat’s the problem

North gave up 22 goals and lost by 90 points last week FWIW

Exactly Teflon and what I'm saying. Commenting ONLY on his play. Painfully obvious watching him out there.Teflon wrote: ↑Sun 07 May 2023 6:10pmThat’s the problem

He's also berating teammates when he's not getting near their delivery. Not good.
Caminiti was splitting packs and complemented Higgins and Butler much more at the fall of the ball.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
One goal nine ffs. Forward line needs a lot of work. King and Caminiti next week might help.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
To be fair, tricky conditions to pick up the ball…

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Literally the best possible conditions to play AFL, yet no one can pick the ball up or hang on to a mark

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Butlers ‘touch’ is right at the top on our list. So many struggle to pick it up yet he is clean, one touch, almost every time

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Higgins redeems himself and goals.
Melbourne Victory lead 2 - 0.
Butler goals, now it's the Saints leading by 21 points. At last.
I doubt Ross won't be so cuddly at half time.
