Saints v blues match thread

[MC Gusto]

Saints by 53

Billings to have a ripper for his 50th

[shrodes]

Hope we come out and make a big statement by dominating the Blues like in the JLT. Show the rest of the league last week was no fluke. Go Saints!

[MC Gusto]

Oh and hopefully a win to the bears!!

[Devilhead]

Carlton first and absolute blatant push in the back missed by the ump

Billings on fire with our 1st and now Bruce with the 2nd

[Devilhead]

Billings everywhere with another

[stevie]

Why on earth is Ben Dixon still involved in footy media? Adds zero to the coverage and indeed, is dribbling shite today. A lot of people wouldnt even remember his GOP career

[spert]

Delivery to the forwards is ordinary, and Bruce not working hard enough- can't judge marks at all

[Devilhead]

Blues with last 3 - cmon Saints lift

[spert]

The forward line is a mess- all playing from behind waiting for the easy ball out the back- makes it hard for the player coming down the ground- no targets.

[SuperSaint]

Hope Kreuzer didn't break Webster's hand

[The Fireman]

cant win a game if you kick to oppsition players in your forward area, 3 times we hit a Carlton player on the chest and one oob that Qrt Richo please get on top of that.

[The Fireman]

they have had an 8 day rest no excuses here..must smash them this qrt

[jonesy]

Going forward is hopeless, so wasteful time and time again.

On the other hand Carlton,as they always do scrap there goals with every opportunity they get. They do it every week

[Joe Bloggs]

Danger game now.

[jonesy]

nothings changed in the second term. Carlton just kick goals when they go in

[Devilhead]

Too many misses tackles - not working hard enough

[Devilhead]

Blues patient short kicking game is killing us - even their miskicks are finding targets

[jonesy]

This game is gone if it continues it's current trend. We are being completely outplayed now in all areas

[bergsone]

Playing like millionaires

[kazonte13]

Kick it to Billings

[spert]

Thank god for Billings -the rest are playing lazy football like they are 10 goals up

[jonesy]

Stkilda need to CALM THE F*** DOWN!!!

Kamikaze playing on is not working FFS. Thank christ Billings is kicking straight

[L.A. Saint]

OK. This is the Melbourne game all over again. They hold possession and we run ragged chasing with no reward.
Tackles aren't sticking, kicks are not hitting targets - Weller, Gresham, Minchington nowhere. We are being out pressured and it shows our weaknesses. Dunstan is a witches hat. One stoppage Carlton left him wide open, knowing if the ball came to him it was not going to go anywhere. Our work rate is poor. Our disposal into fwd 50 is rushed and poor, no terrible. Long afternoon unless some changes are made in the second half. Lack of a second ruck is not helping this week. Webster off is also an issue in defense too. Billings is keeping us in the game with his fwd movement. Our forwards structure is not effective.
Rant over...we will be ok, just need to settle and not rush everything.

[shrodes]

Playing like millionaires

Good call. Need to focus on basics, stick tackles and hit targets inside 50

[L.A. Saint]

Can our tall forwards get out of each other's way?
