Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
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.

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.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
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 scoreportosaint wrote: ↑Sat 29 Aug 2020 10:28pmForward 50 entries are our downfall. Alas, Max has to actually lead as well. He isn't

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

I'd be more disappointed in Billings game, he really hasn't responded as hard as he should.skeptic wrote: ↑Sat 29 Aug 2020 10:23pm7d, one tackle... a few missed spoils and broken tackles. Would be happier with half the out put and a goalSecret Kiel wrote: ↑Sat 29 Aug 2020 10:17pmHe's actually playing his role well, 100m gained already and an I50.
Sincs playing really well.

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

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
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

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
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

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