Match Thread Saints vs Hawks

[bigred]

Should win pretty easily from here.

Does not bode well for the next two weeks though.

[fugazi]

So close to playing on after the siren...my nerves are shredded by this team

[Saint_Singapore]

I think the billings goal was a miskick.. as usual moments of brilliance from Billings but general medioracy.. want him to take the next step ala Jack Steele NOW!

[Devilhead]

Well done Billings on his non preferred around the corner ....... timing of the goal was impeccable

[Teflon]

Repeated putrid entries.

Fix the frighten forward50 entries FFS who is our forwards coach??? Who heads transition??? Just repeating cr@p Hail Mary entries

[Teflon]

It’s not good enough though we ought to be 5 goals up can’t accept that crap

[George27]

Well done Kent, the only one who really wanted it coming out of the middle

To be fair to him, he had a good quarter. Much better.

Just need to win today and don't care how

Get King and maybe Carlisle back for Eagles and we build

[portosaint]

There is NO WAY we win either of our next 2 games (WCE & GWS) we are playing absolute rubbish football ATM. Ratten (Raths) game plan has been worked out and our method into the F50 is amateur hour.

I tend to agree about Ratts. Lacking any kind of ability to change it up. This goes all the way back to the Geelong game now... Teams are onto it and we still haven't responded.

Even worse, if it is a case of players not following instructions re putrid forward entry, then that too is Rattens fault. He needs to put a stop to it. He's had weeks to deal with it now. Unfortunately, I think its a lack of imagination

[Devilhead]

Marsh tackles about as well as Lonie

For a guy his size he really doesn't show a lot of strength in contests

We should expect more than “just winning” against the second worst team in the comp coming off a short break.

[fugazi]

The end of year Delist list is getting clearer.

Why Ratts isn’t tearing shreds of every player is a mystery to me.

[samuraisaint]

The players need to be told - run and carry and score heavily this quarter - Hawks will tire - but we must finish Hawthorn off or they will keep coming.

[shanegrambeau]

Hawks have two goal wind according to Fox

[CURLY]

Seb Ross you are a foot from the boundary run it over FFS

[samuraisaint]

Hawks have two goal wind according to Fox

well, there goes percentage then.

Players need to be told to at least win the quarter.

[The_Dud]

Battle can’t miss from there

[George27]

Kent and Butler . Super stuff there.

[samoht]

Saving our best for the last quarter.

Because he has morphed into Brett RICHARDSON and has become way too chummy with the players

[samuraisaint]

Come on Saints! Bring it home!!

[bigcarl]

Great stuff Coffield

[Trev from the Bush]

Smart play by Kent. We've done the hard work, the dam wall is about to burst I feel.

[CURLY]

Marsh again my god I doubt I’ve seen a worse player play seniors.
