Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 12 2017

[skeptic]

Ball kicked to Paddy's feet... he chased and tackled though

[dragit]

C'mon saints, give us something.

[Con Gorozidis]

I must be the only one that kind of likes what I'm seeing from Paddy...

If he's shot for goal wasn't so embarrassing I'd have said he did ok.

He does a few nice things

Pady has been good though his kicking has not been good. That shot on goal was terrible. and that field kick where he had two team mates in the clear, but kick it straight to the Crow in the middle of them.

But overall Paddy has been quite ok.

Disagree vehemently.
He has been so poor.
His defensive efforts are disgraceful.
When the ball hits the ground and he drops a mark he just stands there or jogs off slowly.
So bad.
Watch Buddy play. When he drops he a mark he keeps going after and wins it on the ground or lays a tackle.
Paddy has been woeful. Abysmal.

Commentators were right, Crows did smart thing on the mark and made his run up too close to the man. He'll learn from it.

big red: Stevens was magnificent in the first half. What game were you watching?

[The_Dud]

On a positive, never noticed before but Stevens appears to be quite a good looking rooster

No, I like what he's doing.

He'll be very, very good.


I mean Jesus, not even Jesus himself could get a kick on our forward line these days.

+1, done a number on Crows best player in Sloane

outclassed... next year will be better. I like the way Ross and roberton are progressing...I see something in Paddy..... we will have some high picks next year and will pick up (hopefully a tough midfielder) while some of the young brigade will be a bit stronger and street smart. I'm afraid I'm not sure about Richo. apart from that bring on 2018

quite right - i should have said 'supposedly relies on pressure'. awful to watch us stuff up the main element of our gameplan so badly.

[Proph3t of egan]

The next player who tries to fend should be permenantly dropped to the 2nds

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.

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

Yep he had a s*** year last year - you have no fcuking clue.
As someone who once wore the jumper your criticism of players is disgarceful

[dragit]

Robertons kicking is terrible tonight and he's had 15 of them.

[widereceiver]

I had more fun at the dentist today - and he doesn't use gas!

Better next year? We say that every year.
Roberton and Ross are not the problem. They are already mature. They wont improve much from here.

correct they are not the problem, I didn't say they were. read what I said...I'm just glad your not picking on Gilbo good to see you have progressed. I never say we will be better next year, this is the first time I have said that on this forum.

I see potential for next year..you don't ? but then again you have made many errors of judgement in the past .

[bigred]

Loving these below the knee handballs.

[skeptic]

Right there... that pass to Jenkins is why ppl are too harsh on Paddy...

If that was us, it would have have been kicked to McCartin's right side favouring the opponent

[mullet]

This made me laugh.... thanks for that

[saintsRrising]

Steven hanballs at Stevens FEET...so ball is turned over and goal to Adelaide. Our skills are pathetic.

Ok ok. What kind of player is he? Apart from being good looking?
He cant play fwd. Cant play back. Cant play back.
What the heck is his point besides huffing and puffing?

Acres shoots for goal

Same with Stringer last week, of course he's going to kick 5 goals when he gets delivery out in front on the lead... our kicks into our forwards are more like kicks to the opposition

I dont see any potential.
