Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020

[Sainter_Dad]

If Melbourne were playing a half-competent team and coughing it up as much as they were the game would be iced by now! They kick to us on the wing - we kick it a bit - then back to them and bang - it goes down the other end for a goal! It is like they are turning it over so we will rush forward and then their cunning plan is to pick it off in our 50 and slingshot forward.

We have small forwards ??? Where the f*** are they ??

It’s ok... apparently Kent is doing his role

[SaintDippa]

In the world of Covid and lockdown look forward to the Sainters as a light on the hill. This is just sh!t. What do we stand for? What is our game plan? We'll run over the top of them but really. Depressing.

Steele is pissed off.
Enough is enough.
We must win this.

No passengers this quarter.
Sinclair has got the message ...he is following Steele as is Ross.


Come on boys. This is the biggest quarter in 7 years.

[Teflon]

Our forward 50 entry is horrible just lower the eyes and let Max lead into some space ffs

Forward 50 entries are our downfall. Alas, Max has to actually lead as well. He isn't

It does t look like he’s given the space and there’s certainly no instructions to players coming forward to lower their eyes it’s a really big problem - not the first time this year either . As good as Butler has been you don’t want to have to rely on a crumbing forward to kick your score

[Ghost Like]

Sincs is having a really good game, clearly his role is to use his equisite footskills to deliver into F50

Explains our shot on goals???

nine years.

[bangaulegend]

Big last quarter if we give it everything I think we can get there but any thing less & we will be back in the pack. It really will be interesting to see how resilient we are

[Secret Kiel]

Man what is the point of Kent?

He's actually playing his role well, 100m gained already and an I50.

7d, one tackle... a few missed spoils and broken tackles. Would be happier with half the out put and a goal

I'd be more disappointed in Billings game, he really hasn't responded as hard as he should.

Sincs playing really well.

Should not be needed. King needs to be taught how to mark against men.

[skeptic]

Kent’s man there in the middle

[Freebird]

We now move the ball too slow and hold it until we have a crowded forward line...they have obviously tweaked something from the early games and now they're overdoing it as playing slow is a lot less taxing and easier on the players.

If not careful they will become unwatchable like Lyon's style

[CURLY]

Foote after the ball bobbles around for ages pays high Melbourne

[SunnyErnest]

Having Kent in the team is like playing one man short

[DJ Higgins]

stop the bombing

[SunnyErnest]

We only have one game plan. Switch and sling shot. When it works we look good but when it doesn’t work we have nothing else. Same as last year, same old Saints, nothing has really changed

[skeptic]

We’re not even kicking to contests forward

[desertsaint]

can we please hit a bloody target inside fifty?

[Secret Kiel]

Geez King is sling shotting May into incredible form. Max has been a massive liability. Isnt getting the basics right.

[skeptic]

Ross... FFS

[desertsaint]

by target i mean a saints player. not a dees player standing five metres away from an opponent.

[skeptic]

Geez King is sling shotting May into incredible form. Max has been a massive liability. Isnt getting the basics right.

If they kicked a ball within 3m of him if would be a start

[Secret Kiel]

King is killing us.

[Enrico_Misso]

Sooooo WASTEFUL
