Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020

[The Fireman]

Umpires have umpired poorly

sorry mate but you need help.

[chook23]

Loss of the 4pts tonight was not unexpected.

Percentage loss worth a game as well.

painful though

[saintbob]

Thank god that’s over

[whiskers3614]

If somebody tries to justify Geary's place in the side on pressure or role playing I will vomit all over the keyboard!
Fair dinkum, 4 touches in a game from your captain and 7 from your highest priced player,
neither good enough to tie Billings' bootlaces!

[SaintDippa]

Geelong brought serious heat and we weren't up for the fight. But. We will beat the crap teams bombing long and crumbling. Tonight, no F50 system then forget it. Feel for King. No chance tonight.

[The Fireman]

I'm not making excuses but we looked really exhausted tonight.....4 day breaks not ideal leading into a big game.

exactly .. like the positives...phillips and Bytell .. we have a future

[bigcarl]

Comprehensively spanked, but the season is not over. We need to learn from it and hit back ASAP.

[Saint 58]

Some excuses/reasons but still weak as piss effort

Geary as an automatic selection is a liability.

Good to see Jack is managing so well away from his family...

What a sooky f'wit.

Can we erase him from our honour board?

[HardSaint]

remarkable isnt it?
for the "inadequate boy child"

[iwantmeseats]

Lol. Briefly looked up from the couch for season 2020. See ya next year.

[SAINT-LEE]

Its not just this club or its supporters....its humans.

When things are good we are all fairy floss and pony rides....one loss and its ass stew.

[The_Dud]

Geelong have played just as often as us, yet we didn’t want to go as hard as them.

Thought we’d lose, but the effort and percentage loss is disappointing.

Need to bounce back and smash the bombers next week

[saintbob]

Hill's lack of physicality at the contest is most definitely an issue.

Granted, its not why we got him to the club, but surely, it must be an expectation of a footballer at this level.

Yeah I never noticed it when he was at the Hawks and Dockers, but it has really stood out this year.

[Russman]

It was a wasted opportunity at the selection table I think.
I would have liked to have seen the likes of Savage, Lonie and Abbott in the team. I know they are not in our best 22 and wouldn't have transformed into a win, but would have
provided fresh legs and given a few other players a break.

[desertsaint]

less than four days. the guys would have got home after two am friday morning.
the two return trips to adeliade were over six hours travel from the time they left noosa to arriving at adelaide oval. it's understandable. they were cooked thursday night but gutted it out (with a little butler magic). we should be rotating more guys.

Reckon you’re a liability pal.

TROLL

[CURLY]

Bytel and Phillips are the only ones who have a had a crack tonight

Sinclair was ok Steele was good.

I think I need to start paying you rent

[chook23]

lost over 11%

[fugazi]

Missed the opportunity at selection to rest a large group of players, concede that we were probably going to lose, but freshen up for Bombers.
Now we have even more tired and dispirited players trying to back up next week.

Jones and Ryder at least will be fresh.

Clark and Billings looked shot.

[Freebird]

A loss like this can do irreparable damage - scoring or lack of it is another issue. What did they score after half time?

[The_Dud]

lost over 11%

Ouch.

Next week is crucial, and Essendon aren’t a very good team.

Spot on. We were beaten yesterday afternoon.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but King, Coffield, Hill and few others should have been rested.

I hope it doesn’t come back to bite us on Sunday.
