Re: Match thread v Lions
Brisbane are atrocious.
I wouldnt be taking much out of this.
They play in to our hands with lots of poor handballs.
Smarter teams will use precision kicking to break up our swarm.

Re: Match thread v Lions
He should be chopping this bunch up, provided we actually pass to him. Honestly, if he's quiet for a few more weeks, do we have other options (Marshall, Battle)? Billings too...watching The Bont last night (on a quiet night) made me laugh and cry at companisons between him and Billings.Con Gorozidis wrote:He isnt very good though.The_President wrote:Lots of talk about Paddy's weight last week... he actually looks pretty trim.

Re: Match thread v Lions
Why was it not deliberate when Martin punched it out before? And a Bris defender did the same earlier. Why are defenders belting it out with no intention of keeping it in exempt? Ridiculous and stupid rule!

Still whilst we are in front we should have really hammered a few more through the sticks, we've had the majority of the ball and brisbanes skills are pretty poor
only Marsh can be praised on this forum

Re: Match thread v Lions
We really are a horrible side to watch. We put immense pressure on only to squander shot after shot on goal.
Billings and McCartin our two great hopes have been pathetic and not living up to there draft position.
Whilst we have an abundance of decent players,we badly lack A class players, where are we going to get them because we didn't draft them with our two top 3 picks when we were on the bottom.

Re: Match thread v Lions
We had Brisbane on the ropes but terrible execution and finishing cost us.
We have really poor skills abd decision making.
Pathetic Saints!
50 50 game.

Re: Match thread v Lions
Let's be honest, it's not good enough. Our 3 key forwards haven't got 10 goals between them this year.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Re: Match thread v Lions
Stinker of a game. first team that can find a bit of form will win it.
McCartin getting some idea of what Roo has had to battle his whole career - crappy delivery.

Re: Match thread v Lions
Got a bad feeling about this. Brissy r playing a high possession bases games lots of handballs lots of short kicks to keep the ball. Didn't work first qtr but starting to work now. I'd rather play their style than our dumb swarm long term. They will get better at keeping the ball
U don't take ur chances it kills u. They r better round the ball but we've done some good intercepts.
What will Ricoh do to stop their momentum if they come out firing? Anything?

Re: Match thread v Lions
Our forward line clearly isn't working.
Take a rest Paddy.
Riewoldt and Montagna are our highest posessiin winners.
All major stats favouring Brisbane.
Worrying signs.
We may also fade after game in the heat.
Brace yourselves for a loss.

I gotta say, I've not witnessed Richo do a lot of inter-game coaching...all seems to be done before we turn up.Bluthy wrote:What will Ricoh do to stop their momentum if they come out firing? Anything?

Re: Match thread v Lions
We are not a good side.
Usual suspects. Billings, McCartin, Gilbert, Lonie doing nothing.
Roberton and Savage are both bog average.

Re: Match thread v Lions
McCartin and Billings have been extremrly disappointing. At least McCartin gives it 100% and has some excuse re poor delivery. Billings is invisible.
At least Carlisle and Brown look ok.
Our midfield is seriously undermanned. We should have selected one more and one less tall.

Big difference is Roo has multiple facets to his game. McCartin is lead, drop, fall over.desertsaint wrote:Stinker of a game. first team that can find a bit of form will win it.

McCartin more like Kosi than Roo.

Oh yes, and Lonie. What is the point of him. I can't see it.

Billings attack on the ball reminds me of Aaron Fiora. He is bitterly disappointing at this stage of his career.

McCartin has been deplorable, simple as that... slow and clumsy

Re: Match thread v Lions
Oh god, don't say it...I was thinking just the same thing at the Melbourne game. If Lonie continues in the same vein, surely we're gonna look at Long? If Billings continues, maybe we can look at Dal!SuperSaint wrote:meher baba wrote:McCartin and Billings have been extremrly disappointing.
