Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 12 2017

[SuperSaint]

the time is now to forget how crap we are and totally blame the umpires.

bloody umpires

[shrodes]

Thanking God for half time. Because i need the break.

On a side note - im glad to join in tonight on here. I rarely get the chance to.
HASHTAG being positive.

But how was the pizza?

[meher baba]

I've seen a lot of love for Wright on this forum. Some claim he's a good defensive forward. Buggered if I can see it.

Billy 'the statue' Longer

I noticed Hickey doing the warm up, and was sort of hoping he'd play

[Proph3t of egan]

Sinclair is part of the future, richo should never drop him ever again

[skeptic]

Surely the finger needs to be pointed to the midfielders... absolutely no possession/pressure/or delivery

Backs constantly under fire
Forwards not able to get near it w/o pressure.

Seb has been pretty good,

Stevens doing a great job on Sloane,

Jack Steven is going okay,

Steele completely missing tonight


Laird, Atkins, Smith & Lever are shredding us across half back though…

You know you listed 4 players right...
Montagna
Acres
Weller
Billings
Membrey
Wright

All players that rotate through

[saintsRrising]

Positives: Acres, Sinclair, Ross ... and er?

Sinclair is virtually the ONLY Saint out there who looks to try and get the ball to a team mate in space.

He also had a number of good plays where he went t handball, realised that player was not a good option baulked his Adelaide opponent beautifully to gain space and then dispose well.

CONTRAST that to most St Kilda players who handball 5 m to a team mate with an opponent on them. Result = turnover!

Adelaide by contrast spread more so that they can get the ball to team mates in space.

whereas the Saints always just have crowded situations.

Acres

He's been deplorable

As has Billings, Brown, Wright, Geary, Gresham, Weller, Longer and a few others

Non competitive

[Wrote for Luck]

We've got absolutely no run. And when we do we royally fumble it. What's the go? Richo?

[meher baba]

Otherwise: I don't know if anyone noticed, but we had a pretty good second quarter. Stevens, Steven, Ross, Gilbo, Roberton, Brown (to some extent) did well.

[saintsRrising]

IMO he has been our only quality player tonight.

Gilbert has been good.

Paddy has done pretty well..till he kicks.

[BigMart]

Yes Sinclair Good, Gilbert good, Steven had a crack in the second qtr and Koby is beating Fyfe

That's it

[jonesy]

Seriously,when was the last time you sat down to watch a saints game and thought, "jeez this will be good viewing tonight"....2005/6?

We are an insult to Tony Lockett

[Otiman]

I've seen a lot of love for Wright on this forum. Some claim he's a good defensive forward. Buggered if I can see it.

I've defended Wright up until today. He is getting some ball across half back and it shows him up.

You have to get the ball into the forward line for a defensive forward to do their job.

[meher baba]

Acres has been shocking. But he's a good player: he might do more in the second half.

In his defense, we have to get the ball into the forward line for a defensive forward to do their job.

What about Steele? Is he even playing? You probably didnt mention him because you didnt realise he was even playing.

At least Acres tries and gets involved.

Some other blokes just stand there watching like tourists at Niagra Falls.

[lintonstreet]

Poor old Nathan Wright is looking WAAAAY out of his depth… Mav not much better.

Mav 3 2nd qtr tackles and is taking Sloane when he pushes back defensively to shake KS's tag.
He was ok that qtr.

Love Gears but unfortunately Eddie is in his head and he is visibly nervous when ball in play.
nathan Brown also looks unusually nervous.

[shrodes]

Otherwise: I don't know if anyone noticed, but we had a pretty good second quarter. Stevens, Steven, Ross, Gilbo, Roberton, Brown (to some extent) did well.

We did have a better second quarter. But we still don't look like scoring

Geez dont come on here being positive and measured. You need to abuse a player and ask that the coach gets sacked

Mav is s***.
You are wasting your breath defending him.

[saintsRrising]

Acres has been shocking. But he's a good player: he might do more in the second half.

Like many Saints he is not finding space. So every time he receives, he is tackled.

[Darth Vader]

Seb?

Weller has put forward the most consistent season of all time,consistently deplorable! It is beyond belief how he has kept his spot in the side this year. There is no selection integrity at all

[The_Dud]

Paddy is basically the same as Kosi was at the end of his career. Not sure where the improvement is going to come from.
