Butts can't kick to a team mate
Always kicks 2 metres short or 2 m over their heads

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 18 2023
If we can get a 2nd hand boot studder for Gresham, take it. He's playing like he knows he's ruined his next contract. If he's had a tackle it would be because he couldn't get out of the road.
That said, he's got a few mates. Very disappointing.

David Misson talked about a grand final appearance as recently as this week (when discussing Max King).
I think it's the first time anyone at the club has mentioned the F word.

Every bloody week. Bomb into the 50. It’s why we look like a low scoring team. We actually kick goals when we lower our eyes.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 18 2023
One thing that is glaringly obvious at stoppage
If you encounter a dominant ruckman ALWAYS play back shoulder
Concede the inside tap because you can always come forward to tackle.
But if you play inside your opponent and they push you under the ball, they will get you on the outside!
Rowell, Miller and Anderson are running out of stoppage because of the way we are setting up.
Crouch gets sucked too far in

David King says where we kick to inside our F50 is predictable. Guess what? I know six blokes who can't predict it.

What chance North next week with Clarkson returning as coach.
Right now, we will struggle to win another game.

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!

They bomb it long inside 50 during match sim at training, it's like they train it, they play it.TheGreatZacsby wrote: ↑Sat 15 Jul 2023 4:20pmI know right?The_Dud wrote: ↑Sat 15 Jul 2023 4:18pm“Hey boys, no more bombing long inside 50, ok?”Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Sat 15 Jul 2023 4:15pmI am sure that we can see the issues - fixing them requires hard work

The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 18 2023
Sinclair needs to go back to HB. Give Stocker or Windhager a stint in the guts.
Battle has been OK but is needed in the F50, then we can let Owens have a run in the middle as well.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 18 2023
Crouch has had 16 touches. But he's laid off some terrible handballs and missed his targets by foot.
Once again our midfield is getting embarrassed. Slow, unimaginative, with mediocre skills.
Gresham simply doesn't think beyond "how can I get a goal here?" He gives our forwards no chance with the way he kicks the ball
The year of exploration is revealing a lot, I'm sure.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 18 2023
How many of Crouch’s 16 possessions have been effective or damaging
He’s a scrappy player
So is Byrnes
So is Gresham
They are not classy players

Winderhager looks completely lost and devoid of confidence

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 18 2023
Suns players getting caught at stoppages are trying to break tackles and end up handing the footy to a team mate. That's holding the ball

Windy now has a tagging job on Anderson, according to RTB.
