That was too easy.
Some of the efforts by the Eagles are just insipid.

I’ll have to make sure I bag him out early next week, the egg is on my face well and truly.
Well done Tim!!!

To all the sad sods and footy experts calling for the end of Tim Membrey's career over the last 2 years

And don't say we're playing a crap team... he's on a very good defender in Barrass

Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 19 2024
It feels like in recent years this is the game where we would do the same job defensively, but the forwards would back off the effort late in the third and we would have finished with about 11.11. It has been so good to see no letting up for the full game

Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 19 2024
Pressure was outstanding for the entire game
Connected better in the second half
Defensively good, mids dominated and forwards got a lick in the second half

Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 19 2024
Gee. We had like a million i50’s. Members played really well but to me doesn’t look nearly as sharp, agile as he used to be. No vertical leaps to take marks just workrate. Not bagging him, and in actual fact he played great, but I’m not convinced. This wasn’t the ‘egg on your face’ game you’re talking it up to be. He plays well against bombers, kicks half as many and has half as many possessions he’ll still have done very well and he’ll start to convince people.
For now, let’s just enjoy him and the win today

You don’t rate someone on 1 game
Particularly against woeful opposition
Last week Tim had 4 possessions

No negative despite one of our great players having such a fantastic game
Downplaying his game

Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 19 2024
I didn’t downplay this game, I kept it in perspective
I don’t think you ever judge a player off 1 game - good or bad

Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 19 2024
Sounds reasonable.
Hopefully he backs it up.
He’ll go around again as they say.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 19 2024
you did downplay his game and I judge a player by his career and cut some slack when needed.
Always been a "Fanboy" of members and delighted with his performance today.
