Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 20 2018

[shrodes]

Poor Membrey, he leads and leads and we kick it to multiple Bulldogs, too short or over his head

[Teflon]

Richo should fall on the sword

After 5 years it’s the honourable thing to do but he wont he’s not up to it but won’t admit it

[1966]

This is the coach killer game.
No coming back from here.
No doubt he will find plenty of positives from tonight but he is delusional. He has lost the players and the supporters.
We are officially in crises now.

[asiu]

Extend incompetent Richardson's contract. Then merge with an extinct Tasmanian club and put us out of our misery.

Burnie Saints?

Sandy Bay Saints

[shrodes]

Why are we bothering to put Hickey back on?

[iwantmeseats]

we will outscore them last q
and that will be "pleasing" enough.
Rinse,repeat.

[George27]

not looking forward to next year..wow....just wow. Spoon maybe ? I feel crook in the guts

Yep and this in my opinion shows the flaw in the argument for those who support tanking. We deliver this rubbish, and then expect a number 4 or 5 draft pick to drag us up off the canvass next year. Compare that with us winning by 50 with the kids playing well, and feeding a number 6 draft pick into a team on the rise. We should always want the Saints to win. I find it incomprehensible that any StKilda supporter would ever want a Saints team to lose.

How does Jack Newnes get a game every week?

Make sure he takes Kingsley with him.

How does Jack Newnes get a game every week?

He has kicked almost a quarter of our goals...

[shrodes]

Of all the 5-6 goal losses this year, this one hurts the most

[1966]

serious question mark over a few players after tonight.
Billings, Dunstan, Newnes, Acres, Sinclair have all been around a few years but gone backwards this year.
All tradeable.

Acres has been played out of position all night I reckon. Should be in the middle, and not as a ruckman!

[degruch]

What an amazing round of football its been, so tight, so much great footy and thrilling highlights...and then there's us.

[1966]

On a positive note.
MCCartin has kicked a ripper.
Problem is we got the wrong McCartin.

[MC Gusto]

Looking forward to reading the Bont vs Billings thread revived for the millionth time

Sadly Billings could have had 4 too if he could kick straight

How many times will we say that? He’s shot! No good in the head

[fugazi]

Just a 63 point turn around.......pathetic.

[portosaint]

At half time he had 1 handball. That's correct.

Underlying reason??

[The Fireman]

membership will suffer...how can the club possibly keep Richo on now ? If he was to go then members would re-sign with some sort of hope...atm there is no hope.

[BenLong#21]

Long time lurker. Don't often feel the need to post.

But heads need to roll from the top down.

[1966]

That’s 1 more than his brother.

Nah he can play, need to stick him across half back where he won’t need to worry about kicking goals!

To ease the pain for 2018 by making 2019 dramatically worse?
