Re: Saints v Giants match thread
Surely we cant blame Geary for turnovers, I saw a whole team of turnovers, I'm wondering who was the exceptions

That's because majority of his kicks are sideways/backwards 15m chips.
Whenever he has any pressure on him or has to kick it forward he's <<< MOD EDIT >>>

Re: Saints v Giants match thread
Biggest disappointment with today has been the tackling ... very ordinary. Tackled like they were still sore from last weekend v hawks but that is not an excuse at this level early in the season.
GWS consistently avoiding getting caught or dishing out handball.

The stats are absolute shite. I saw his crap with my own eyes. Absolutely wouldn't get a game for GWS.The_President wrote:Devilhead wrote:Geary 83%DE and 1 clanger - are you saying the stats lie??magnifisaint wrote:Geary is a turnover merchant. He is the master

Re: Saints v Giants match thread
Very disappointing. Poor execution,woeful kicking and not being able to stand on the two feet god gave them, killed us.
Oh, and they played from behind all day.
Plenty of room for improvement and Goddard,Acres and Eli.
Out Lonnie, Sinclair and Gears.
Billings would be on thin ice too after that s*** performance.
JOEY COULD BE AN OUT TOO.
All in all a very s*** afternoon at the footy.

Re: Saints v Giants match thread
Minch and Lonie were horrific. We need someone in there who is actually fast by foot e.g Dalhaus, Eddie and Poppy.
Dalhaus copped abuse on this forum for 'only' getting 17 disposals (Lonie has averaged just 10 this season) but the Dogs had it in their fwd 50 for most of the game against us - partly because he helps keep it in.

Re: Saints v Giants match thread
Last qtrs have been putrid. Needs addressing. Skills coach needs some new ideas.

Yes Geary is a 'professional' with his 'preparation' and a 'terrific' and 'strong' leader for us. Please give me more. I love meaningless management speak!

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

She also thinks the same. Being a good bloke doesn't get you anywhere on the footy field.

I wonder what our training loads were last week? The entire team looked like they were running with weights hanging off their legs very very ordinary effort. The worrying signs is we dont have a lot of players in the VFL ready to take the next step.
Gresham, Templeton, Curren, Acres maybe but they are like for like.
Goddard is the player we really need to step up because Fisher cant keep competing against monsters.

Yes we can. We are great at having gallant losses then a crapper with little to no effort matched only by poorer kicking.The Fireman wrote:can we ?magnifisaint wrote:GWS can't keep this intensity up
