Game Thread v GC Suns

[Con Gorozidis]

Shenton a big positive out of the game. Looks at home.

+ 1

Jones is laughable..

Jones in laughable..

Instead of ridiculing a Saints player who has tried his hardest for our club for many years, just thank him for his efforts and wish him well in his future endeavours.

No need to be so disrespectful. He is a Saints player no matter how past it he now is.

I reckon Bluey would be disappointed with the last qtr and a bit by the Suns. Taking noting away ffrom our boys who have never given in and are running it out well.

Perhaps a bit of a reality check for the Suns for when they play the better teams. And percentage may be the difference for a finals spot.

So the same number 25 ump is making the shockers? Webster getting hit high was a complete accident but isn't the head the flavour of the month?

[Wrote for Luck]

Ray's disposal efficiency 59.1
Unacceptable.

[Con Gorozidis]

Jones is laughable..

Well he knows how to get cheap sheep dog stats running around in circles - but really he is entirely ineffective. Cant attack. Cant defend. Most of his cheap circular sheep dog stats are at blokes feet anyways.
Would run a very good 10k fun run time though. 34-35mins I reckon.

[Cairnsman]

Not enough players working hard enough to keep the ball in our forward line

[desertsaint]

Been pretty good this half. Some good signs.
After a much needed break I think they'll come out competitive against the pies, and hopefully carry that on deep into the season.

[Cairnsman]

I've been impressed with Shenton

[dragit]

When bj left it was for $850k and the Saints said they wouldn't pay over $650 for a player.

Only Roo on between 700-800 a year.

cj is just about gone, but Joey is not and if you think so it is just reactionary and a bit emotional if you ask me.

AFL rules say you have to pay 95% of the SC. So Joey has to be on 700k.

Never said he was gone - hes in our top 3 players. But he has been CRUISING for a month.

Go to bed Con you have NFI tonight.

[FQF]

It's amazing how ferocious pressure can equalise huge skill discrepancy.

To me it is really disappointing that Saints supporters need to be so disrespectful to a player who has tried his hardest for our club for many years.

Yes he is past it. yes he should be dropped, but instead of bagging and deriding him why cant you be gracious?

Good manners and being courteous costs nothing you know.

Ok he is a lovely lad who has given his all and should be able to play for as long as he wishes.
He has the looks of an angel and should play until he no longer wishes to play.

You think Joey has been good this month and earning his 700k?
Ok.

boom

[Bunk_Moreland]

I've been impressed with Shenton

This years Roberton.

Mav Weller had a very good second half as did Jack in the middle.

Jack Newness bounced back, Billy Longer keeps improving, Sipposs showed a little bit n the second, Bruce and Delaney keep improving.

Happy with the second half.

need to put four quarters together

[desertsaint]

I've been impressed with Shenton

Ditto. Looks likely.

[Wrote for Luck]

Jones disposal efficiency 55%.
So you add Ray and Jones 44 disposal with nearly half getting muffed.

[BringBackMadDog]

Go to bed Con you have NFI tonight.

You think Joey has been good this month and earning his 700k?
Ok.

Stop it Con you're embarrassing yourself. As I have already told you. In the past month Joey got 39 against Hawthorn, 37 against carlton and 31 against essendon, he got 21 last week so he has had one really poor game (tonight). Time to look for another scapegoat

Con, I understand you are emotional and obviously not thinking rationally.

We can all see Jones' career is over, but a bit of respect for the players of the club. I would say he has played probably 150 more AFL games than any of us.

Also it is just basic manners to actually support the players and club not be derisive and arrogantly critical.

Stop saying Joey is on $700 unless you have proof. The club stated only Roo was on over $650k, unless you are dissing the club as well.

Very strange attitude to have to a club you are supposed to support

If he ran a 10k he wouldn't get anywhere. Keeps running in circles

So you can read stats? Hes no scapegoat.
And NFI tonight?
Well I warned that we had no hope of winning based on comparing the selected teams experience. So I think I have shown at least I have some FI.

More than most of the hindsight heroes. I put it on the line - backed it up with stats. So really. You find another scapegoat.

[SuperDuper]

Joey is having a pretty good year... he cant carry us every week, opposition coaches have been targeting him and Riewoldt, partcularly after they carried us to those early wins this year..

.. his off field work is also important right now too

I'd say he is the least of our concerns

[Con Gorozidis]

Speaking of stats:
Disposal Effciency:

I missed the margin by one point... Big far ken whoop.

Joey would be gutted about his last 2 weeks, but it's not a month and he's not on 700-800 like you keep dribbling. Even if he was, he's earned that right... Still in our best handful this year comfortably.
