Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 18 2020

[SaintDippa]

Kent. Fyi. There's been a rule in for a number of years, out of bounds, knock if away, its a free and 50.

[Jacks Back]

1/2 time
Saints 5.5.35 v Giants 3.8.26

What has happened to King? He can't kick a goal to save himself. He was so accurate earlier in the year and now he can't hit the side of a f****** barn

[mullet]

Quite a few players out there need to dig a little deeper

[The Fireman]

How many times do we see 6 or so players around the ball while on the ground And only gws players putting their heads down and going for the ball

[Toy Saint]

Kent there are no words.

useless

[samuraisaint]

We need a big third quarter.
Some of our key playmakers tagged out of it at the moment.
Endeavour is good. Shame we couldn't have kicked one more goal though.

[ace]

Gresham and Jones out.
No one in the midfield attacking the ball.
Our midfield following GWS midfielders to the ball.
Someone has to hunt the ball not be led to it.

[Teflon]

we get a couple of quick goals in the 3rd and they will fold

I tend to agree
They’re brittle
They’ll drop their heads if we can get out 4-5 goals and keep the pressure on
They like space
Don’t give them
Helter skelter manic pressure
I think Marsh up forward might’ve hurt them tonight ..

[sks023]

Hannebery should not have played. Kent is a joke

Your off your tree if you think hanners shouldnt be out there

I think you’re off your tree if you think he should be playing. He cannot run properly and has hardly had a touch

Lacks match fitness but there's no second tier comp for him to play in . Clearly in our best 22....you play him simple as that

[SAINT-LEE]

Not bad.

Can we stop bashing King?
He's gotta keep growing, yes. He's a tad short on confidence, marks & kicks on goal suffer.
BUT He's healthy and going strong and the next 15 years are going to be awesome!!

Glad you b1tches weren't on forums during Riewoldt's first season. You'd torn shreds off him.

I think Steele is an exception
Be stuffed without him

[The Fireman]

Kings kicking will improve only an idiot would not play him

I was and true they’re similar starts aren’t they

[SaintDippa]

Each week I live to watch the Saints hoping to see an evolution week on week but just deflating. Hoping a huge second half.

[bigred]

Kings kicking will improve only an idiot would not play him

Agreed..

[The Fireman]

King critics have little grasp on the caper

[Otiman]

Kent is getting into the right places but just not impacting in the right way. Probably his best game in the last 5 but still no impact.

Because they eat chips on a couch and probably played local footy or none at all.

[johnearljames]

Kent is playing pretty good.

[johnearljames]

Saints are on top

[fugazi]

King has taken a couple of marks and moved it on quickly which is good, but he has lost his nerve with set shots .

Unbelievable how the Marshall free kick went the other way. It was either a free kick for holding to Marshall or pay the mark to Battle

[bangaulegend]

We are fortunate to be 9 points in front at half time.

We really need to lift our game.

IMO we are fortunate not to be 9 points down at the half. Need to regroup & come up with a different tac or we will get done

[Ape_Man]

Said it last week and will say it again... next to Butler, Lonie is the best FP we have. Love his attack on the ball

If Lonie was 5cm taller and 5kg heavier he would be an absolute gun.

Jack Steele said to say hello

[Goose is king]

Ryder dominated the hit outs. It unusually didn’t find our mids
