Oh dear.
(insert many swear words)

[Wayne42]

Hickey just proved the point made in this thread.

[bigcarl]

I don't think the week of swilling bathwater helped

[1965 Saint]

Hickey - never play for Us again please!!!! 15 metres out. Faaark

[sainters85]

f*** sake we are horrendous. Can't nail anything under the heat. Looks like last week was a fluke

[Bruce G McAbee]

Game over.

[Wayne42]

Carlisle just spoilt his own man, result = goal to the Bummers

[Newman]

Demoralising . I'm shattered. All week I've been pumped. In front of a huge crowd we've done a 'Richmond'.

[Bruce G McAbee]

We swapped places with Richmond from last week.

[Superboot]

They are faster, have more marking strength, and far better anticipation of where the ball is going to drop

[Premium89]

Junk... Daniher sealing it from the goalsquare

[Bruce G McAbee]

Kiss goodbye the percentage from last week.

[Joffa Burns]

Hurley has slaughtered Rooey tonight.
Battle just a kid who is lost.
Too much run out of the back line and murdering us in the ruck and clearances
They are far too quick
This is a massacre

[sainters85]

can't play against quick teams that spread. And on a night that the saints supporters actually turn up

[desertsaint]

getting really ugly. saints just not in the game. that's theseason donefor us, but the bombers look like they'll make it. just a bad fixture for us with the 6 day breaks followed by two interstates against top teams to come.

[jonesy]

Pedestrian midfield won't take us past middle rungers. Don't improve it we are stuck here

[bigcarl]

embarrassing

[PremiershipSaint]

We need to rebuild. We don't have the talent.

[saintspremiers]

Are we the Schizo Saints?

Great one week, Horrendous the next

[Superboot]

Have reverted to the attacking strategy of kick and hope

[sainters85]

billings can't kick a goal to save his life

[SAAD]

[dals_da_bomb]

Its absolutely painful. 23 points for almost 3 qt of footy.

From its here its really about what we do about it.
We saw Richmond come back from 10 points at half time to end up with 71. Thats 61 points in a half - despite knowing they would lose (well very unlikely to win)

SO what you going to do Saints?

[White Winmar]

Pleasing. Positive. I hate being bipolar. It's awesome.

[meher baba]

Are we the Schizo Saints?

Great one week, Horrendous the next

I can't diagnose the team, but, on the evidence of this blog and Big Footy, the supporter base is definitely bipolar.
