Saints v Cats Match Thread

[desertsaint]

A real fair whack of luck.

[Pwoit]

Player Mr Turnovers is playing well ......

[Hughjarce]

This is embarrassing

[IluvHarvey]

Is Jack Steven any threat of not turning the ball over?

[OneEyedSainter77]

Mighty pissed off about that Schneider decision. In a tight game, when they haven't been paying them all night. Consustency is all i ask for.

Bring on 2013

[slider]

All over 2012

[desertsaint]

Legs are gone. Needed to kick better in the third, and need to eradicate those poor second quarters next year.

[Old Mate]

Tank for draft picks IMO

Been happening for a long time - a 50 gets paid for a push in the back to Chapman.... I see multiple instances our way later on... play on

I give the Scott brothers credit - they at least are not afraid to speak up

[terry smith rules]

pods gets a goal and carries on like he won the gf... dh

I give those sniping pieces of crap nothing. Scott walked in to a ready made team. The scott brothers are nothing but thugs and scream when things dont go their way like girls

[desertsaint]

Gwilt just not the player he used to be. Let's hope he gets back to it next season. Roo gets rested from here on. Team will improve next year with this one under the belt with watters' game plan and the new players. This time last year the future looked grim. But I'm pretty confident we'll rise again next year.

Pretty obvious that the midfield of Hayes NDS and Montagna has had its day and it's rebuild time. Bloody ordinary effort considering it was such an important game for the club. Steven just running around like a rabbit, but a rabbit has better disposal. A real lack of leadership.

[jonesy]

A really pathetic way to close out the game. I'm sure we'll run the lines better over there..

[ShanghaiSaint]

what another saint kida c**k tease... anyway onto next year....

Tend to agree - we badly need an injection of class

What scares me is that Steven/Armo have been good.... but they are no Hayes/ Dal Santo replacements... we are in for some pain I think and desperately need some decent ball users.

[Hughjarce]

Hey look on the bright side...............we play GWS next week

The fear I have is that if we dont trade for some or instill that in our current list we have stuff all chance of drafting them thanks to the bulls*** pretend teams that fat andy put in to stick it up the rugby and soccer

Tonight showed that we lack quality, consistency and even a bit of structure. Not to mention histrionics and sooking for freebies but thats not something I want MY team to do

[fugazi]

We should be the ones gunning for Boak

[saintkid]

Hey look on the bright side...............we play GWS next week

Won't be long before their young players start killing us. We need a rebuild starting now and it isn't going to happen overnight to state the obvious.

[Junction Oval]

It's a real worry - the way we dropped off tonight. This year's draft period will be very interesting. Watters has had 12 months and I think, knows what needs to be done.

Let's hope that we see a few of the younger guys for the rest of the year.

[kalsaint]

Umpiring one-way... I'll say it again......

How was that not a free-kick?

Umpiring is not one way. I reckon Saints got the benefit in the first half had a few go wrong over the 3rd and 4th quarters but same Cats having some decisions not going their way oftern (whe they should have).


Its simple. Kicking 10 to 3 to opposition players creates a huge opportunity for teams to break and run. Many of those miskicks set u pgoals for Geelong.


Again in the 4th when Fisher kicked a little too high and long this resulted in a goal and basically the team dropped their bundle with another 24 points scored afterwards by Geelong.

[kalsaint]

wasteful quarter, hope we don't rue those misses

we have the past few close ones

Yep
We dont win the close ones anymore and seem to run out of puff in the last quarter just when poised to make a run at it. I think the younger blokes are struggling more and need more body development to make a full season.

We havent learnt over the last 3 years that midfiled selections were needed asa priority. We need to have rotations more in that area to match it with other top sides. We missed the boat under Ross to achieve this.

Ross was a short term thinker fort he team. Insert ready made stronger bodies to snatch a premiership irrespective of the long term development needed.

Coming back to haunt us now. Too much effort required from too few stars each week. This made us predictable the last 2 years as well as our forward structure being too Riewoldt focussed with other talls being too inconsistent.

Scott sees this and has made some change but more is needed but this wont guarantee success for the next couple of years and we need to be sure new selections will make the grade.
