Match/Torch Thread Saints v Cats Round 17 2019

[B.M]

Weren’t Longs Free Kicks there Dud?

Should the umpire not have paid them?!

[HardSaint]

Let down again by usual suspects. Acres, newnes, Ross & Sinclair just not good enough.
Positives were Clark & Coffield. They were both good and have to play every week now.

I’ve got to stick up for Acres. Played as a key forward, played as a ruckman, played as a defensive player, please Richo just give him a run in the middle like you do Seb and Gresh!!!

He has great faith in Blake
One day it may just all click and Blake blitzes
And rides on the heels of a unicorn

Agree.

It’s not like we have anything to lose.

He is a tease and I’ve run out of patience.
Has no intensity or aggression.

[Devilhead]

Another sub 10 goal game, and only 2 after half time.

Pathetic.

Against the top team on their home turf with a third of our starting 22 out and playing loads of young kids

Seriously get a f***** clue

[Crossy66]

Too many players that cant tackle, that wait for the opposition to go for the ball, too much bruise free footy. Effort was good in the 2nd and that was it.
Probably only a handful of players that would off the trade table. We just lack hardness more than anything. Lots of blokes scared to get hurt

[Brunswicksainter]

Tonight is not the night to get on the teams back, valiant effort against one of the best in the comp

[B.M]

Did

Acres is a lazy dumb footballer, that’s why he’s not in the middle, actually in any position he’s a liability.

Why does everyone think he could be so good? What because he’s six foot three?

He will not play through the middle due to his lack of two way running

[derby Street]

Well done Nathan Brown. That second goal to Abblett is because you can not defend. Haven't seen anyone go past the footy for no reason like this man. Just does not want to get his hands on the football

Nathan Brown has had a very good game. Tell me about all the wonderful things his opponent Tom Hawkins has done tonight.

First mark inside 50 to Hawkins all night. Beaten by Brown .

If the other backs had beaten their men as well as Brown on Hawkins we may have just been a bit closer.

[BarryGrogan]

In this. C’mon boys!

We're not in it. We never are.

It's a mirage.


Our entire focus is to keep our opponents under control. As a result, kicking a winning score ourselves is simply not going to happen.

Even if we defend really well (which we don't), you're never going to hold a half decent team to 70 points.

Another sub 10 goal game, and only 2 after half time.

And what’s the excuse for the previous 16 weeks.

Run along now.

We had 85 tackles

When making a comment,

Remind yourself that they are on top of the ladder

With some absolute stars on their shitty little ground

[The_Dud]

Weren’t Longs Free Kicks there Dud?

Should the umpire not have paid them?!

Curly claimed (wrongly as usual) none of our tackles were rewarded.

Just setting him straight.

[Freebird]

Acres going one on one with Taylor in marking contests. I just don’t get it?

There's a lot of things you just don't get duddy, thankful you are not an ex-coach

[HardSaint]

Imagine how we would have gone tonight had our player development been like Geelongs over the same time frame

[Annoyedsaint]

Effort was better, but still could only manage our lowest score of the season.

Effort schmeffort. Show me results.

That's it. Blame the loss on a few players. Actually, why don't we just take all the players off the field and get Finnis, Sexton, Richo and all the medicos and fitness staff and development coaches and Dave O'neill and Mick Ryan and the board of directors out on the field.

Serioulsy...why is every week that people need to look for a scapegoat. What is it that you don't understand about a bottom 4 club with a bottom 4 team?

[The_Dud]

There's a lot of things you just don't get duddy, thankful you are not an ex-coach

So Acres contesting for marks against Taylor is a good coaching move?

Is that you Richo?

Ok 2 out of 85 got rewarded not a great ratio is it?

Is that the best you have - we turned up tonight with a decimated team and showed up the top team for long periods with their full quota on their boutique turf

What the f*** else did you want?

Your the worst poster on here period continually embarrassing yourself - living up to your nick for sure

That was another example of how we are unbelievably good at kicking to players where they are, instead of where they are going to be.

In the second half our bomb it inside 50 strategy made its way to the rest of the ground.

[CURLY]

Imagine how we would have gone tonight had our player development been like Geelongs over the same time frame

Yeah Dangerfield has been developed nicely. There best player.

Second lowest scoring team for this year.

Haven’t scored over 100 points once, that’s an historical low.

Keep sticking up more mediocrity. And we wonder why we’ve won one flag in 100+ years.

[Devilhead]

Effort was better, but still could only manage our lowest score of the season.

Effort schmeffort. Show me results.

Ha another who wants the world with a 3rd of our starting 22 out against the top team on their home turf :
