Match Thread. Saints V Hawks Rd 4 2019

. Marshall is going great. His skills are very good.

His skills are good aren't they!
He is no lumbering dinosaur
Out numbered and out gunned - he holds his own

[Crossy66]

Short Half-time summary anyone? For us Saints overseas!?

In short we are winning everywhere except the scoreboard(and hitouts)
Problem is we either blaze away kicking out of the backline, plus not enough movement from forwards.
Ball was in hawkd fowardline for most of the qtr our pressure is very good

[twirlyhair]

Long in the ruck

Thank God we are not playing with a dodgy second ruckman. We are winning the clearances so good team selection so far.

[Enrico_Misso]

2 charity goals to The Piss and Shyte

[bergsone]

Bad goal to cough up at the end there

Silly by Brown didn't need to do it cost us a goal from simply dumb footy.

Thought Brown pointing to spot as it was marked,ran to it what happened to the come back a metre by ump,seemed too keen to call it,anyway harder to tell from tv than at game

[Jacks Back]

What's wrong with Acres? He's the third "tall" in the forward line but can't take a f****** mark anymore. Kent is useless. Brown ran over the mark by about 3 metres but was not called back. The same from the hawks earlier on resulted in nothing though.

Bruce and Membrey need to lift. Maybe get Bruce into the ruck for a while to get some touches.

Next week replace McCartin (who would be playing in the forward line if not injured - i.e. 3 talls) with another tall.

[twirlyhair]

Hawks 2 or 3 players down already, no better chance to snatch a win.

If someone can tell me what Mr 33%s gameplan is apart from clog up the backline, bomb long out of D50, bomb long into F50, and play midfields as ruckmen, I’d love to hear it!

Why oh why don’t we play Pierce in the ruck and Marshall as ruck/forward??

We do some good things, and some horrible things. So many times we blew golden opportunities with poor kicks or handballs.

Hopefully the Hawks start to tire and we can get on top!

What's the pace like from ground view?

[Cordz2]

Bottom of the stats sheet are Bruce Membrey Parker and Kent - that’s what’s happening.
Positives are tackling and our deep defence which has saved us getting smashed every week with their endeavour and tackling. If Riewoldt was playing we’d be 5 goals up.

[DJ Higgins]

Give him an option saints. Someone take a lead. It's killing me

If the players aren't following team rules
The coach would send the message out
If they continued to do it they would get dropped
If the keep doing it over several seasons
It IS the plan

Sad but true. Overall it's been ok but the whole kick it forward and Hope has to stop. Some one present at each mark to give the kicker an option. We are in this so I am hoping that Hawks tire and we run over the top of them

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Acres has been rucking as well !

[SemperFidelis]

We look up and about here; umps evened it up in the last 10. Crowd is big and then the boys are going in very hard.

Looking forward to a big second half. We should be fitter.

[SemperFidelis]

If we can take some marks inside 50 we will win.

Short Half-time summary anyone? For us Saints overseas!?

Tight game,hawks few inj players who may not get back on Ross,Long,Marshall in ruck plying well,could go down to the wire

The game is ours for the taking just need to stay focused & the rest will take care of it's self.

[Devilhead]

Lonie - 6 Disposals - 1 goal 3
Kent - 4 disposals - 0:0
Bruce - 3 disposals - 0:0
Parker - 2 Disposals - 0:0
Membrey - 2 Disposals - 0:0

Not sure whats going on with the forward line but they seriously need to pull their frickin fingers out

[Devilhead]

The coaches should be ripping into the forward line at this HT break

Slow.

[shrodes]

Wilkie looks like a player

[The_Dud]

That was embarrassing...

[shrodes]

Marks inside 50: 3 to 8

[Trixilver]

Bruce and Membrey have been awful

[The_Dud]

That was embarrassing...

x 2

[Bruce G McAbee]

What the he'll happens at halftime, every week we come out flat in the 3rd quarter!

[The_Dud]

Bruce and Membrey have been awful

The delivery to them has been equally as bad

[Teflon]

Just deplorable skills coming forward out of the back half
Handball to players under pressure / standing still , floating kicks to slow through the air ....embarrassing really
