Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 16 2023

This is as embarrassing an effort as I have seen for some time. It is worse than West Coast last week as they have nothing to play for. This St Kilda side is as limp and rudderless and uninspiring (bar Mitchito) as we have had in recent times. Pathetic.

Re: Favourite players past and present

Mine started with Barks. Then Plugger and Cuz. Banger through the 90s and then the modern day I loved Lenny. In the 80s I loved Silvio Foschini for the 5 minutes he played for us! I used to yell out “Hi Ho Silvio”!

Re: Ben Long. Furious

100% agree. I thought he was the spark in the last quarter! Hard at it, created opportunities and really caused mayhem when he was near the ball. Butler has been so quiet and his perceived pressure is not near the level he once was. Higgins looks so unfit and can’t chase his defender for more than 5...

Re: Training 6/7

Was there also. Bytel said he would probably be back for Sandy next week. His foot is feeling good but he is not quite ready. They limited his training time (kms) hence he was kicking on the boundary for a bit. Gresham was not feeling great (flu symptoms) trainer said they were waiting for the doc t...

How many times do the Crows players lead with their head or drop in to the tackle and get rewarded? WTF. Still playing horrendously.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 10 2022

Again…like so many first halves we look so ordinary. If they were kicking straight we would be done. We look confused, slow and we have little no awareness and just bomb it long to who over. So frustrating.

Re: AFLW Saints v GWS

Probably the worst umpiring I have ever seen at any level. Heavily one sided toward giants most of the game. I don’t usually road rumps or claim cheating like some supporters but that was as close to rigged as I can remember. Obvious frees not paid to us, clear non-frees plucked from nowhere for the...

After reading with some interest how quickly this guy has bolted in to top 15 contention, how much interest do people have in drafting him as a Ryder replacement/possible CHF/CHB? I know the need is for midfielders but the 2 NGA boys have tracked exceptionally well with limited game exposure. He see...

Looking at some stats on the AFL app and who would have thunk 12 months ago we would have stats like this? Number 1 for goals kicked Number 2 for tackles Number 2 marks Impressive stuff. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200725/c4b49484f73d44730c751f27a41f5204.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020

Disgusting. Worse than the Collingwood game. Passengers all over the ground. No intensity. Poor decision making. Rushed possessions. Just pathetic efforts by everyone.

Re: Sandy Vs Tigers

I was there. It was bloody windy and got so dark in the 3rd and last quarter it was hard to see over the other side of the ground. I got there just after the start and we were already 5 goals down. We beat them from there on and looked pretty good considering the team that played. As far as the Sain...

Can someone teach Gresham to handpass

Has anyone else noticed how poorly Gresh handballs the ball? He consistently sends it to his team mates feet or doesn’t make contact properly and it just dribbles out of his hand! What is up with that? Is he trying to do too much like he has the tendency to do with his kicking? Also, Jimmy Webster w...

Re: Match Thread Saints v giants Round 7 2019

Jade Gresham needs to be off the ground and having a new one ripped. What a goal hungry hog. This bombing forward is a joke. Sorry but this is disgusting. Parker kicks that goal we are inside 2 goals. They go coast to coast goal and it is a blow out. Our forward line is laughable. Josh Bruce might f...

Re: Saints v blues match thread

Once again we decide that bombing it into a contest is the way to go. Mav needed to draw the player and then let Jack run it in. What a terrible decision. Time after time we just give it up bombing it in to the fwd 50.
