Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 19 2018

[fugazi]

No, we are actually playing well....right up until we get it into our 50.

[amusingname]

This performance is straight up a player issue, can’t blame the coach for this conversation problem.

[Linton Lodger]

good half guys, but same old conversion problems.
hard to tell if it's us, but gws just aren't switched on.
lonie definitely a better option than weller. gives us much more energy.

We're in really good nick, aside from finishing our work.

Hickey is having his best game in years, as is Dunstan. If Billings and Lonie could finish, they will be deadly. Steele doing a great job against Ward and DMac a great job on Greene.

Richo has Coached well.

We should win this game if we keep it up, providing we start finishing.

Frustrating we should be a few goals ahead.

[Whiskey]

Geez we butcher the ball...

OH FFS GIVE IT A f****** REST EVERY f****** POST IS A PIECE OF NEGATIVE s***

Its the truth isnt it? Look at the disposal into the 50 and the general structure of our forwards. Its been a mess all year

[Jacks Back]

our kicking for goal make me feel ill...

learnt 2 things so far.... Acres and Geary kick the same and Lonie gets bundled unfairly with Weller.

apart from that the boys are having a crack despite their pitiful skills.
Go Saints.

oh and thank %$^$# for the Umpire.

8cres has been out for 12 weeks. What's Geary's excuse?

[Devilhead]

40 to 18 inside 50s

He’s s***.

Same problem last time against them but they kicked badly.

You don't lose your skills. They should be improving once you become a professional fulltime footballer. Players are drafted because they were very good or elite junior footballers. The development, confidence, ability to handle pressure etc. is ALL coaching related.

True. Out drafting isn’t the problem, our development is.

[Cordz2]

Players who get the ball and can’t find a target.
Acres
Billing’s
Ross
Steven
Geary
Newnes
Dunstan
Weller

Now you can’t win games with a list that long all year.

They have confidence to get the ball in, Richo can’t make them kick straight once they get it in. That is not a development or strategy problem, it is an execution problem

[Bruce G McAbee]

40 to 18 inside 50s

Sadly 3.10 which doesn't reflect that dominance. Should be at least 7.6.

When it’s a single player then that’s on him, but when it’s club wide that points to coaching/development.

[SaintPav]

Who is the commentator on Foxtel with the loud annoying voice?

He sounds like a moron.

[The Fireman]

the old"lose the game in the 3rd qtr trick" an Oldy but a goody.

[The_Dud]

Geary has just completely stuffed up 2 marking contests in a row, both resulting in goals.

[Devilhead]

And just like that game over

[Bruce G McAbee]

Well I waited, great pass Savage andMembrey goals

[Bruce G McAbee]

Why are slipping over so much.

[The_Dud]

Lonie having a blinder, Battle a stinker

[Bruce G McAbee]

Well Lonie is in for a few more weeks, well done.
