Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020

[Devilhead]

Yes we got the goal but it was pretty disappointing to see Sinclair stream out of the middle and not one of our forwards lead at him ...... he had no choice but to kick it to a contest

Forwardline doesn't look like they work together to make space ..... it was similar story that quarter off half back where we were stagnant cause no one was moving to create space ..... seemed to be a lot of standing around

[Scollop]

Being out coached by Melbourne, as the employing the tactics as Geelong did against us. Starving us of the ball with their zone and then chip slow possession game.

Yep. And pressing up when we get it in defence giving us sfa options to create flow and run.

Melbourne are playing the bigger ground very smartly. Chip go slow and make us work. Thankfully we got a couple of good late goals to go into the break with some momentum. Jack Steele is a machine!

It helps if you’ve played a few times at the ground, like they have

[Rocket]

Got to lift our forward pressure in 2nd half. They are winning ground ball in our forward line.

And stop the bombing to 2 on King. Lower eyes.

[The Fireman]

Watch Ryders tap to Sinclair.

[saintkid]

Again I will say, too much rests on the Steele and he delivers. He is a fantastic, hard and gutsy player. Our new Lenny Hayes.

Absolute he’s a gun so much Hayes about him and that’s a big call !

Big call but he's earned the call this year. Love the way he goes about it and glad you agree Teflon.

Billings needs a reality check. Drop him.

Same with Hill. Five minutes ago he went at the ground ball footy with one hand out the side...if you can’t put your head over the footy when your team is down on the scoreboard you’re soft as butter

He is soft but thats not what we picked him up for he has been pretty good IMO so far

[George27]

It was 31-10 when I came into the smoko room for my tea break lol Inspired

Well stay there and don’t move for the second half. The game is on you, Stevie !

[The Fireman]

TBH as the we started to unravel all I could think of was ..has Ratten got a handle on this ?

[SaintDippa]

No system. We kick a goal from it but Sinclair gets it out of the middle, streams forward and kicks it ....... on top of a 2 on 2. Lucky ball fell to Marshall.

Hill is magic.

[Ghost Like]

9 players without a tackle, including Billings, Sinclair & Steele. Those 3 get & make tackles, we win!

[sunsaint]

Because a kick to him didn't make the distance? WOW, we must be an elite team.

No more about the way he tripped over his own two feet when running in to mark it
and then played tunnel ball

Anway scores are all tied up
Lets hope he kicks two in the last half

[bangaulegend]

Membrey is a liability
Absolute joke his job is to kick goals ffs

Now just take a deep breath yeah he has missed a few soda's but he is a quality player he will play again next week win lose or draw IMO

[skeptic]

We’ve done well to get back in this

[kosifantutti]

No system. We kick a goal from it but Sinclair gets it out of the middle, streams forward and kicks it ....... on top of a 2 on 2. Lucky ball fell to Marshall.

Surely that’s an improvement on the 0 on 2 that we targeted a couple of times.

Knows how to disappear.

[Enrico_Misso]

1895 seconds of ordinary football
25 seconds of good footy
- got us back in the game!

[Secret Kiel]

Hind has had a stinker so far.

We've got no dare so Hind can really help out.

[bergsone]

Put Billings forward,see if he can do what he did against lions

[The Fireman]

Billings has to lift or piss him off.

[fugazi]

Couldn't be much worse than that first half.
I hope Steele actually speaks up in the rooms and demands the boys win this game and put it all on the line. (Like he does)

Three absolute crap, emotive, nonsensical posts. I expect all to be full of praise in the near future.

[Devilhead]

C'mon Saints ...... it's Finals time!!!

and reappear out of nowhere with faultless disposal.
