Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 18 2017

[skeptic]

The St.Kilda game plan

Tap the ball and pass to mid, hand ball that to another mid, the handball back and fourth before a quick pass 20m to the side, that guy handballs behind him before a short pass back where it comes from. Pass the ball to the left, handball one to he other to the other, oh oh we're under pressure, hand ball out the back to another guy under pressure, and to another and to another, quick pass the ball, some how we're at half forward, short pass to a contest, hand ball to a man running into 50m, kick short to a contest, TURNOVER

Sydney kick Long to the centre, mark, handball to the running player, kicks long to a contest, mark, goal.

[longtimesaint]

We need a ruckman who can mark and kick and Longer is very ordinary at it

[WellardSaint]

I was watching at a pub in Perth (not with Western Saints mob- they advertise on Facebook but they only get 3 men and a dog- Perth Saints fans
are the WORST in the nation)
and gave up and left when Useless Billings kicked that point.

[saintsRrising]

Doggies are back above us now due to this surrender.

[saintspremiers]

The softcocks are going to lose all 4 quarters tonight.

That's how we lose. All quarters. Almost every time!

[suss]

At what point is the coach in trouble?

[Sainterman]

No plan B. Not even a good plan A. If you kick to the boundary endlessly makes it pretty hard to score. I don't think any other club brings it in as badly as we do. Out worst is putrid. How many qtrs have we now lost in a row? All while our season has been on the line.

And what a load of trollop after the Tigers win, all the we "clicked" stuff. The club has done nothing yet to think it has clicked.

Could tonight be any more predictable? Lucky they have not kicked straight.

[Con Gorozidis]

Rather than kicking to a loose man in the corridor we always go to Roo in the boundary.
Every time.

[The_President]

Ironic that this game is billed as the "pride" game considering there is 22 blokes out there playing with none.

[Teflon]

Rather than kicking to a loose man in the corridor we always go to Roo in the boundary.
Every time.

Yep even at a ground where the locals show you how to play direct
We are in for years of pain

[Grrrrr]

Absolutely pathetic perfomance...
Gone to water.

[skeptic]

Right there... Acres plays on from a free kick that would have been a shot and he... short passes

[sainters85]

f****** acres why take the advantage? so frustrating, he seems to have gone backwards

[skeptic]

And Geary passes short to a contest

[skeptic]

f****** acres why take the advantage? so frustrating, he seems to have gone backwards

Game plan... get the ball and pass it

tony74 said during the week
that the vibe around the place was just like before the Tigers game.

Yeah Tony...way to go...
tony thinks Climate Change is fake news. A massive ice shelf just broke off Antarctica, tony said "hey, there's a good vibe down there, don't worry about it"

[Premium89]

Right there... Acres plays on from a free kick that would have been a shot and he... short passes

Followed in quick succession by Parker ragdolling billings out of the way on the wing... uninspiring to say the least.

[magnifisaint]

Piss off Lonie PLEASE!!!!!!

[sainters85]

solution would be to sack the whole coaching box at the end of the season and start fresh

[skeptic]

I bet you Alan Richardson is scratching his head in the box saying geeez I wonder why Sydney aren't passing the ball more.

That Lance Franklin, the most selfish player in the league. Any Saint in my team would have passed from there and that selfish bugger just went back and drilled it

Tony74 Should piss off too. WTF does he know!

[sainters85]

on a positive note, i think the inclusion of marshall has definately helped bruce

[The_President]

I wonder what "positives" Richo will come up with in his presser tonight

[PremiershipSaint]

Wouldn't mind a coaching clean out.
