Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 23 2017

[mbogo]

Leadership!!

[desertsaint]

another goal and we're back in this.

[desertsaint]

c'mon fellas! nice goal Billings!

[stevie]

TV off. Some good footy in this term had us going but goal kicking the same shite. Will turn back on to see Roo chaired off. Knowing us, even if Bummers hadv'e lost, we'd still be playing rubbish

[Bruce G McAbee]

Best passage of the day.

[Bruce G McAbee]

We have been good since halfway through the 2nd quarter, ehich is similar to when we threw the Melbourne game away. Unlike the Melbourne game, I just want us to make Richmond earn it.

[GregPackhamsHeadband]

I was a little surprised Billings has kicked 21/34 this year. Even 50/50 ratio and we might be in these finals. Some serious work is needed here, as he is the most inaccurate AFL forward ..

all between the eyes apparently. He was a beautiful kick for goal in the juniors

*ears

No. I think it is between his eyes. He looks cross eyed in most of his photos. Maybe he's seeing eight posts when he lines up.

[GregPackhamsHeadband]

Cue another futile comeback which falls frustratingly short.

[saynta]

If only they could kick straight.

Agree. Give us something to hang on to over summer. Even a close loss will do me. So long as we play to our ability.

[St Loxton]

Billings will reverse his accuracy next year and kick 50 goals. i reckon he is going to be really really good.

[mbogo]

Who is supposed to be on Dusty anyway? Last time I am pretty sure there was a tag.

[Bruce G McAbee]

And sadly cue the non performance last quarter.

[mullet]

Look clearly everyone knows our goal kicking is crap. Exit out Hammill he can go back to his beloved carlton. Bring in Stewie Loewe or even Fev. Or Jason Heatly. Someone who knows how to kick properly.

Personally I'd be making them do 400 sprints then kicking for goal straight away when they are stuffed. Its no good practicing with all the time in the world and the ball already in your hand

[Turbo]

I will never understand why we don't put a hard tag on Dusty. He is the only one causing problems

[Bruce G McAbee]

Two of our players spoil each other.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Gresham.

[mbogo]

So many times there is sheer panic when a player has the ball .. quick get rid of it, like Billings then .. and the Tigers milk it .. Gresh the only light today.

[bigcarl]

Gresham four. Good work son.

That is why we need someone who doesnt panic. The effect through the team will be enormous. I hope Dusty hates Hardwick as much as I do for taking all the credit for Carracella's coaching work, and comes to us.

[desertsaint]

dusty naturally hesitant about going to north, his best years down the ladder, but it's a lot of money to say no to. reckon if we'd offer the same we'd get him. but would we want to?

A commentator on SEN spoke about this about 2 months ago. Said it was our biggest problem. He said the importance of getting some silk in there would be unbelievable to the young kids.

[desertsaint]

Goobye Nick. All the best and thanks for being a Saint!
