Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos at Boot Hill Round 1 2019

Has Gresham been very disappointing since he re-signed or is it just me?

[B.M]

Battling hard, too many passengers and a hell of a lot of poor decisions.

Paton, Long, Acres, Dunstan, Sinclair ineffective or too many errors

[perfectionist]

Ben Long can't kick 40 metres.

[HardSaint]

someone's gotta work on Gresham's handball skills

[HardSaint]

good call on the duck

been thinking the same for weeks

[SAINT-LEE]

Gresh just off a few percent today.

Needed to hit Hunter in the middle and we were off.

We're not allowed to say it without being attacked, but Gresh has been "off" most of the season. A few very good games that show something is there and a few very poor games with average games mixed in....

So far in 2019 across the AFL:

#78 Disposals
#77 Score Involvement
Tackles....outside top 100
Distance gained.....outside top 100
#43 Contested possessions...not bad!
AFL fantasy points....outside top 100
#79 Goals kicked.....

I see people on here call him an AA player.

The truth is he has AA potential but he is no where near a AA player. I'd love to see him developed and lead by a passionate and switched on head coach....not sure we will get another one anytime soon.

[The Fireman]

cool now our crap final qrt effort

[degruch]

Isolate him, Ross, and Lazy...all serial offenders.

I reckon Dunstans been good this game, just too little of it!

[B.M]

Gresham is very overrated, he can do flashy eye catching things, but his kicking is hurried and under pressure because he tries to do too much. He can break lines and generate play, but constantly chunks the ball.

He is a small forward opportunist who can push through the middle. That’s where he should play

[CURLY]

Last week North conceded 27 frees v Collingwood clearly they learnt the rules in a week.

[Enrico_Misso]

If there a breeze blowing to the right?

Yep. Been thinking the same also. He hasn't gotten out of 2nd gear for weeks. Maybe carrying something? Or just lazy?

[bigred]

Endeavour in the second and third has been decent but the same old blatent shyte entries killing the work.

That first quarter is just inexcusable.

Same old s*** every week.

I dont understand how people can still accept this over and over.

Nailed it.

A season as a mid won’t do him any harm but he’s not the outside mid we’re screaming for.
He’s a forward pocket specialist that might push up

[Toy Saint]

Hunter Clark has been good since he got back on the ground.

[Bruce G McAbee]

We don't believe we can win.

Stupid uninformed comment.

AFL needs Collingwood top 4 to boost ratings and revenue as a primary goal.
And North succeeding in Tassie as part of their strategic plan is a secondary goal.

[freely]

which "people" bigred? dyou think everybody's happy with it except you?

The supporters don't. It is our inept administration that does. The club has been crying for an overhaul from the CEO down to the coach for the last few years!

[HardSaint]

those that would call us "not real supporters" - you know the ones

[The_Dud]

Yeah Gresh has been ordinary.

And some like to claim he’s an A-grader!

[bigcarl]

They are just marking time. There’s no spark, no daring.

[saintkid]

Good on North, they are miles ahead of us too and had the balls to change their head coach!
