Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
Here's a question, we are 7 points down. Who have we got who can win this game, which our players can grab this game by the scruff of the neck and swing it.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

We had a lot more of the ball that third quarter than Port.
Just need to ramp up effectiveness in the last and get some passages of clean ball use.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
If we win - it will be purely by the sustained efforts of Dunstan & Carlile so far ......... and Bruce continually putting in. Now for others to give support.carn_sainter wrote:Well done, Dunstan - great quarter and game so far. Giving a few of his teammates a lesson out there.
About time Jack Steven got into the game.

I know it's been said before but I DO NOT want to see either Weller or Lonie in this team next week.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
still right in this, on the back of great games by carlise and dunstan. Hopefully don't run out of legs and maybe actually convert a few chances this quarter. This is ours fellas!

Oh ....... my blood pressure is sky high. BLOODY behinds. I'm driving my wife and kid crazy with my whinging, whining and screaming. Soooooo frustrating seeing all these behinds kicked. Thanks goodness for a goal on siren.

That was massive by Acres
We have momentum but time to start kicking straight

We need a number to just use the ball well fora change. We are getting plenty of the ball. Just need to use it better.

This should be so far on top of the list of things to work on at training it's not funny. The fact it's not is a absolute joke. Richo should be smashed in the press conference about it.
Clearly whoever is teaching them goal kicking is teaching them wrongly. I'm sure they practice but what they are practicing is wrong. Get Fev to teach them how to kick or stewie Loewe, he turned his kicking around.
