Nth v Mighty Sainters - Match thread

[stjohnc]

Can someone change the title of this thread

[axcellence]

Can we get Roo and Montagna back? They’d be fresh without needing the preseason and with better skills

Oh, and 2028 is a pipe dream. Geelong topped for their stars and saints bottomed out.

Expect the exodus for all the good players at the end of the season... contracted or not.

I turned it over to watch Mtv while we had KFC for tea. Check the scores just now to see 35 down. We have hit rock bottom today

[sainters85]

what happened to membrey? the whole team along with him have gone backwards this season

[sunsaint]

I think ive nutted out Richos game plan
We're going for draft position

[St Loxton]

Seriously the worst performance for a long long time.

What has happened to Jack Steele, Jack Sinclair, Josh Bruce?
Haven't stuck a tackle.
Can't pass by foot.

I am an optimist, just made that way. But I'm nearly broken.

[dragit]

Surely you can't smother/tackle a player until 'play on' has been called?

It has happened a number of times today.

Plus one.

Disgusting performance.
So many problems. Where do you start?
Seen many bad losses as a Saints supporter but this is up there with the worst.
Confirmation that the rebuild has failed.
Matter of time for Richo.

[shrodes]

Well at least we’ll get to see some changes next week. Tough run coming up though.

[Zed]

Destroyed by a bottom 4 team. North were not great, we were just awful.
No finals in the foreseeable future.
I am gutted.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Absolute disaster for the club.

No hope in sight.

Crowds will dry up.

No glamour for TV.

No lustre as a destination club.

Coach contracted til 2020.

A farce.

[oh when the]

Coachless, leaderless, skilless, clueless club

[skeptic]

Well at least we’ll get to see some changes next week. Tough run coming up though.

Are you sure about that?

I would drop Longer, Steele, Long and Koby.

I expect Weller to come in for Sinclair or something equally unhelpful

[SoopaSaint]

Now for some seriously hard questions: How many of these weak, insipid, gutless bast**** would get a game in our AFLW team..?! I thought so - ALL of them... because that's just how they play! Bloody disgusting. Peter has to ask some hard questions this week or our membership will resign en masse. But still they won't listen. This is BIGGER than ball tampering... drug regimes and the Fourth Amendment in America! Sorry... got a bit carried away there... perhaps not ball tampering...

"if you think you're hurting,
the boys are hurting more."
Just getting in before tony74 comes out with the blue sky paintbrush
and tells us fairytales

[SemperFidelis]

Smashed. I’d like my $120 bucks back.

[fugazi]

52 point loss to North....spiritless rabble

[Factor]

One of the most embarrassing, insipid performances I have seen in 30 years. Disgraceful. Worst part is that I can’t see the upside.

[portosaint]

McCartin the worst number 1 draft pick ever. What a pathetic bunch of losers from the coach down. Bottom 4 more like another wooden spoon to our ample collection.

I’m sorry but who takes responsibility for this?
No 1 draft pick who can’t inflience a game at all? Can’t play deep and the forward line is inept
Forward line is an utter rabble

Seriously... What can we expect from our forwards with this pathetic ball use?? Members hardly sighted too. Not their fault

Ball use agree but where’s the plan going forward???

Nth look open? Every side against us looks semi coordinated, unlesss a ball bobbles out the back of someone’s hands in a scrambling pack we look like we have no hope of scoring?
We’ve actually won plenty of ball - gone forward and butchered it?
The rebound off half back they are gettibgbis deplorable
We are bottom 4 face no question and YEARS away from it

Agree. Very poorly coached. Today had very little to do with cattle. No offensive structure, no defensive structure.... We looked lost. Cue AR

[fugazi]

'Didnt get the win' says our captain.....we got a perspective enema!

[desertsaint]

clear out the entire coaching panel. richo is in well over his head as a senior coach.
drafting (bar mccartin) has been okay. we have some decent talent, but they need a decent coach to reach their potential.

[DJ Higgins]

No game plan again. Sick of the excuses. Richo can't coach. Our team is sub par. I keep turning up each week for this garbage.

Left the ground and going to be a s**t train ride home. Today showed how bad our list is. I thought we might finish middle of the pack this year but we are much worse. We are a very poor team and please no damn excuses on what was on show today. Billings is so soft it's actually sad to watch and as for McCartin, his skill and pace is VFL level. A team that also has a Nathan Brown as their no. 1 full back is not going to go anywhere. Apart from Jack Steven and Carlisle in patches, we have no-one that any of the top teams would want.

[stjohnc]

Thank god that is over
5 goals in a game of football
7 goals in the last qtr to our 2 behinds
When do we say enough is enough
When do we look at the club from the coaches down
This was the year we were meant to challenge for the top 4
A 52 point loss is unacceptable
Ruined my easter break
Thanks guys
