Match Thread. Saints V Hawks Rd 4 2019

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

Mr 33% obviously gives them a rev-up!

[Scollop]

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.

Bruce and Membrey need to at least give themselves half a chance to mark the footy. At least Acres is getting to the right spots and getting his hands on the footy. Overall Blake is a contributor, which is more than you can say for our tall forwards.

With Chipper out with injury, Bruce and Membrey need to take full advantage in the second half. The small forwards need to be front and centre for the crumbs.

Nathan Brown is supposed to be a defender. Unacceptable that he lets the footy out the back without a spoil and Puopolo goals. The brain fade from Brown before half time is also unforgivable. Don't try and fool the umps, even if it is a mistake, you have to be better than that and err on the side f caution. Look sideways and get some direction from the umpire. You are supposed to show leadership and seniority and instead of helping the younng team, you have already cost us 2 goals. Redeem yourself Browny or you can take Richo with you and retire

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

Need Marshall resting forward for some xfactor

[The_Dud]

That was embarrassing...

x 2

x 3

[stkfc1]

We've gone to sleep.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Game over.

[Teflon]

Pathetic just stopped.
2nd kicknout of defence shocking

[wasoncestkil58]

Awfal start of the 3rd qtr. We need someone to give us a lift. Not sure who can do that for us. Hawks have gone up a gear.

[bigcarl]

Lost at selection

[Teflon]

Can Savage actually stick a tackle??
Weak effort

[The_Dud]

Acres rucking centre bounce, 15 seconds later Hawks goal.

Another master stroke from Mr 33%

[st.byron]

Hard to say, but I actually hope we lose. Anything that will move the club towards getting rid of Richardson is for longer term good. We will never go anywhere while this bloke is coach. The much vaunted new coaches have made sofa difference. Game plan is still basically the same as last year. Hard to watch.

[Bruce G McAbee]

ACRES IN GOD DAMN RUCK IS GROUNDS TO SACK RICHARDSON NOW. HOW GOD DAMN LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET IT THROUGH HIS STUPID HEAD THART IT DOESN'T WORK!

[wasoncestkil58]

Josh Bruce is having a stinker. Why can't we give Battle a chance in attack.

[DJ Higgins]

Wheels off. Shame as we were in this.

[saintkid]

What on earth did they see in Kent? I fail to see any upside in him. Another list clogger.

[The_Dud]

Why on earth isn’t Acres played in the midfield?!?

[st.byron]

Why on earth isn’t Acres played in the midfield?!?

Coz he’s a ruckman. A born ruckman

[shrodes]

Ross has been great today, in everything.

[The_Dud]

Hitting a forward on a lead, goes back and kicks a goal! Quick, somebody tell Cho that he may have discovered a whole new possible gameplan!! This could revolutionise AFL football!!!

[sunsaint]

Why can't we give Battle a chance in attack.

Was once a forward warrior
is now a half back flanker

[The_Dud]

The boys are trying hard, pity they have to play with one arm tied behind their back...

[saintkid]

Sinclair and Savage can't hold a tackle out there.

[shrodes]

We're up and about. If we can keep this intensity up for the last quarter we will run over the top of them
