Match thread, Port in Shanghai

[The Fireman]

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.

Of course he has a right to say it.

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

i suppose talking about this crap is a good diversion from the game.

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

Not sure JS is still such a favourite.
Persistent rumours he wants to leave.
And when we most need him he walks away because he needs fresh air.
One suspects his heart isn't really in it.

Its a fan forum for gods sake. Not a thesis. "misguided" seriously . Oh how I wish I was so wise as you, to give such sage advice on a footy forum. Good Lord I've heard it all.

I f***** disgusted by that performance!

[saintadamski]

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

Hey! You forgot Newnes.... what would a list of useless Saints players be without that spud??!!

Wow...and Coffield is just awful...pick 8....WTF??!!

[HardSaint]

pathetic outing today

All aspects of our players and coaches exposed

Enough is enough

[mbogo]

How about the soft dribble kicks going ten metres there must have been ten or more... Dunstan?

[DJ Higgins]

Well that was a Putrid display of sub par vfl footy. Seriously Sandringham would have been disappointed Serving that up.
Today was a training drill for port and a light one at that. Can't believe there is any real reason to think Richo can coach and a chunk of the team would get a game outside of St Kilda .
Let's try another rebuild as it can't be worse than this can it?

[mullet]

feel sorry for those who shelled out to go watch that.

[SaintPav]

Geary injured.

Why rush him back?!

If a dude makes a misguided post about something, I think it's reasonable for someone to correct them on it.

[st.byron]

Last six matches points for : 68, 70, 70, 71, 69, 68. Truly Lyonesque.

Eleven games. 9 or 10 goals in nine of them.

[HardSaint]

Geary injured.

Why rush him back?!

I think the coaching staff honestly thought he'd make a difference
That's how far removed from reality they really are

[chook23]

sick of scores like 9 - 15

[The Fireman]

how embarrassing, the chinese public must feel sorry for us

Minus the defence though!

why hasn't that improved over the last 5 years ???????

What bothers me about the recruiting theory is that apparently it’s reasonable to think that we have got it sooooo incredibly wrong each and every time

Getting the draft picks wrong is one thing ... going for Mc Cartin over DeGoey is forgivable.
The draft is a lucky dip.

But the successful teams also recruit/poach established, young A grade big fish in their prime, or approaching their prime.

We don’t ... and we need to start.

We have 10 half back flankers who at $200,000 each cost more than 2 AA half back flankers ... you only are going to play 2. Same with our inside midfielders - why have half a dozen on $300,000 each when you’re only ever going to play 2 inside midfielders.
Quantity costs more than quality ... it’s a false economy.
We’re maxing out our salary cap on average players ... and just doubling and tripling up on them.

We have the lowest ranked midfield, with poor skills, and are not concentrating on recruiting quality elite-skilled midfielders. We have been getting our recruiting “incredibly wrong” ... and it’s not a theory!

Misguided? Are you saying depression can’t be brought on by circumstances?

And my best mail is that it’s self inflicted, so that leaves even less sympathy.

It is misguided.

Being sad, and being clinically depressed are completely different things.

To say otherwise, is totally misguided. Its actually really ignorant, but I was being polite by using the term misguided.

[Sainter_Dad]

Geary could have a broken leg.

Awesome management of an injured player.

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.

Except that he was not match fit - and therefore may have had an extra yard to get the kick away!

[magnifisaint]

Farken garbage!
Things need to change!!!!
