Match thread, Port in Shanghai

[magnifisaint]

I didnt realise Coffield was so useless. How was he a number 8 pick?
Hes just a ball watcher.

[shrodes]

Gresh is ridiculously good. Imagine him in a good team

[The_Dud]

Well its time to play king and the million dollar man and any other kids. hopefully whoever replaces richardson after this week will do so. I feel like its all been orchestrated to tell you the truth. Biding time until there is not too much financial impact by sacking him. Still cant believe its the same players that were so confident at the start of the season. WTF goes on down there.

I’d be very wary of playing King in this team. No good can come of it.

Saints footy mate. It’s a brand.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Geary could have a broken leg.

[saintadamski]

wasnt Richo given the coaching gig because of his excellent ability to develop players?

there's 6 years of development on show out there at the moment

Jesus Christ couldn't coach this mob.

Nail on the head...as bad a coach as Richo is... NO ONE can coach a list like this to any success.

Btw how bad are Phillips and Coffield!

Oh...and Newnes his usual self.

Fans will be walking away from this

And who’s had 5+ years to build this list?

[Bruce G McAbee]

They have only had 3 extra scoring shots.

[mullet]

well I hope Jack steven is getting his body right to go play elsewhere. this club is a joke

I’d be too depressed to play for this club too.

That comment is ordinary and unnecessary.

why? its how we all feel. How can anyone feel great about this. our club will be in turmoil again this week. it makes me extremely sad when this happens.

Clinical Depression isn't about being sad.

Really, I know people with clinical depression and they cant stop crying because of sadness. Personally I blame the medication they are prescribed. However , lets not make this a political correct argument on depression. The Dud had every right to say what he did considering how bad today is and the ramifications.

The ghost who walks ... it's not the walking dead, it's not the phantom ... It's ...
I should emphasise that port are very unlikely to make the finals. Think about that!

I guess the question is WHY are they so unmotivated and down on confidence at 5-5? They're only playing Port, another team you could argue is very lucky to be at 5-5...shouldn't they be motivated by the potential to be 4 points up at the very least? They had the ability at the start of the season, so where's it gone?

[mullet]

Geary could have a broken leg.

Awesome management of an injured player.

Why isnt there the same pressure of not coming back too early as a player with concussion or dare we say depression.

Its a disgrace

100%

Would prefer he spends the year in the VFL, gets confidence, wins the VFL Coleman, plays the last 2-3 games and then builds off that for next season whe we have a coach who will instruct the players to hit up a target and not put it on his head

Very bad day at the office for the Saints. Bad trip actually. It all went wrong from when Acres' body temp reading went berserk at customs in Shanghai. A trip to forget!

Their percentage may just get them there

[mbogo]

Jack Steven is holding the current soul of the club ... And he isn't even over there. Ask the fans who their favorite is .. Oh that's right there was a survey

[The Fireman]

only 30 more mins of pain

Probably win the quarter for a "brave loss"

that was never going to happen

[shrodes]

Geary could have a broken leg.

I get the narrative, but if you're watching it was a freak accident. Tackled while kicking and kicked his own leg. Nothing to do with being rushed back.

Of course he has a right to say it.

But linking Clinical Depression with being sad about the club's performance is misguided.

I remember when a match thread was something different
the football we played was worth commenting on

Now it's pretty much a distraction from having to watch the game.

[magnifisaint]

Geary could have a broken leg.

Its his own fault if its broken. No awareness of who was around him.

[The Fireman]

Gresh is ridiculously good. Imagine him in a good team

3 or 4 times he drilled port players in our forward 50..commentator even said it looked like he was kicking to leading port player.

[Peanut Farm]

Joyce is useless
Coffield has no clue
Billings doesnt care
All our coaches have no clue, that may include Ratten - what's his role?
Kent cant kick straight
Seb Ross, the most useless possession getter ever
