Watch the game and you may see it.
Terrible.
Disgraceful.
Embarrassing.

When you are getting tagged you can give a bit of leway but for his direct opponent to get the ball 30 times! Yes thats right 30 times it shows an unwillingness to try and shut his opponent down. It can be two things:The_Dud wrote:well then what are Ball, Joey and X's excuse for shite games, cos they weren't tagged by an AA player...
Not much obviously - did he manage a goal in the VFL?????battye wrote:What is Gehrig learning?Teflon wrote:hes 1 player who would learn what from dominating at VFL level?midas_touch wrote:Dal getting absolutely raeped by Kane Cornes so far.

Agreed & double agreed on X Clarke. I've never rated him. I don't like 1 good game out of 4. If you're going to give me that sort of effort, I'd rather it be in the VFL. Players need to cross that line & be switched on. Those half hearted tackling attempts (and it's not just him of course) cost the side in some many different ways.Buckets wrote:When you are getting tagged you can give a bit of leway but for his direct opponent to get the ball 30 times!

a) The fact that he is more worried about getting the ball himself rather than what the team needs
or
b) He is not as good as people think he is! i.e Frontrunner
Tell me Dud if he is sooooo good how in the world does he have so many poor games to his name this year!
On X, couldn't agree with you more. Absolutely soft cost us at least two goals when we looked like getting a run on! Maybe he needs to go spend time with Raph in the VFL
Cornes is tagging him, Dal isn't tagging Cornes, if we had a decent gameplan and took risks then Dal would get used dangerously on the rebound and Cornes would have to become more accountableBuckets wrote:When you are getting tagged you can give a bit of leway but for his direct opponent to get the ball 30 times!

I don't think I've ever criticised Dal Santo before on Saintsational - I'm just agreeing with a lot of others that his effort (amongst a shopping list length of other St.Kilda players) was very poor.The_Dud wrote:Cornes is tagging him, Dal isn't tagging Cornes, if we had a decent gameplan and took risks then Dal would get used dangerously on the rebound and Cornes would have to become more accountableBuckets wrote:When you are getting tagged you can give a bit of leway but for his direct opponent to get the ball 30 times!

AS A WHOLE TEAM we have had ONE good game all year, and Dal has had more than that, so i'd say he's doing better than many
Dal is no where near our biggest problem, but is an easy scapegoat...
so if Kane Cornes was breathing down Dal Santo's neck WHY wasn't Dal breathing down Kane Cornes's neckSpinner wrote:

Who's sole intention is to stop, rather than getting the ball. If he does, its a bonus.
I'd like to see other players play with defenders like that.
so ur saying Dal should tag Cornes....?Buckets wrote:Cmon Dud, Dal's job isnt to just be the rebound guy when his opponent has 30 possies and by the way he killed us, Dal's responsibility should be to try negate his influence not worry about his own game, and his brownlow chances!

CORNES is tagging DAL because port know how dangerous he can be
but only when USED PROPERLY
i'm not saying he had a good game (along with most of the team) but i'm saying all this "drop dal" "worst on ground" crap is just that, CRAP!
