Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 10 2020

[Cordz2]

Geez that was a good goal by Butler - they had us covered.

[George27]

Come back come come back two meters come back Sun player stands there doesn’t move no 50

Yes that was extraordinary. So blatant .

[perfectionist]

The are working way harder than us

Yep, that's the key.

[Jacks Back]

1/2 time
Saints 6.2.38 v Suns 6.5.41

18 tackles for a half - disgusting

[Goose is king]

Jones 4 touches.

[Cordz2]

Hunter Clarke’s slipping to the ground a lot

[skeptic]

Take away from that 1/2... I think we’re a hell of a lot better than GC.

Don’t know if it’s the wet, or complacency in attitude but sloppy free kicks, BS forward entries and indecisive decision making let GC back into that match and get there confidence up.

Hill needs to kick the ball instead of hand balling
Clarke needs to fix up his disposal
Steele needs to get more
Our forwards need to lead
We need to tackle and pressure better

[bergsone]

Look very flat,getting killed around the packs,need a big lift from.Steele,Gresh,Jones,Sinclair.Maybe should have rested a few more

18 tackles for a half - disgusting

Yep, not surprising after watching that first half. Everyone’s waiting for someone else to do it.

Feels like we’re lucky to be as close as we are, but that if we pull our finger out we can run away with the game, neither team is playing great.

Hopefully Ratts gives them a spray!

[The_Dud]

Also looks like a few might be getting ahead of themselves.

[Saint_Singapore]

Forward pressure is not their without lonie geary and parker.. billings and hunter look tired and lazy.. hope we can find another gear

[Enrico_Misso]

Can't afford a slack 3rd qtr this week.

[bigred]

Somewhat lazy half of football.

Suns walked us for at least three of their goals that quarter.

Need to improve a lot to get this win.

And here comes the third quarter.....

[Devilhead]

Smashed in clearances and contested ball

Suns like to play quick and we need to slow them down somehow

Playing into their hands

[johnearljames]

Umps are a bloody disgrace. Absolute bloody disgrace.

[footynut]

Hunter looks he's running on the spot. Possibly start Long at the stoppage, and Clark back

[George27]

Look very flat,getting killed around the packs,need a big lift from.Steele,Gresh,Jones,Sinclair.Maybe should have rested a few more

Yep it is all about the guts. Ryder seems to lack focus , Steele, Jones, Gresham , Sinclair all down. That has been our strength in recent weeks, but they are smashing us .

[johnearljames]

Good teams win these.

[fugazi]

Clark needs a break.
They all look a bit flat.
Carlisle our best !

See if we can slug it out from here.

They will be aware of their 3 Q struggles.

[longtimesaint]

Think the 4 day break and all the travel is having an affect as they look flat.

[Devilhead]

Jones only 4 possessions and Steele 7

Both need to lift

[Enrico_Misso]

We had a few passengers that half.

Need them to lift this half.

[saintkid]

Good teams win these.

That's absolutely correct. No excuses tonight.

[Ghost Like]

We are getting killed at the stoppages. Witts is on top & so are their mids. Tackling is our barometer. We are spreading but forgetting to pressure by tackling. That's lazy, that's downhill skiing.

[Cordz2]

Forward pressure is not their without lonie geary and parker.. billings and hunter look tired and lazy.. hope we can find another gear

True - it’s the first time for a while I’ve seen teams clear it from our forward line without any pressure.
