Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021

[saintkid]

Billings IMO has been the most disappointing tonight

Say what you will about Hill, Howard, Lonie and Dunstan... they’re at least getting to contests and failing

A red hot Billings has had 9 touches for the 9 and almost unsighted

Pay close attention to Billings. He hears footsteps when he should be keeping his eyes on the footy

I know it’s not his job to win contested footy but he just needs to stand up and be a leader

He hasn't to date after 8 years and never will. He is one of our several physically inept players and when the opposition bring their A game together, he and a number of others go missing.

Seriously you just constantly embarrass yourself with dribble like this.

There are many that think like me and respect my views mate. Keep your tunnel-vision, attacking comments to yourself, go watch a reply of the game and see how much of a leader Billings has been tonight when the team again needed the senior players such as him to stand up.

[Kick-it-lace-out]

This is embarrassing.

[whiskers3614]

At least our worst defeat isn't to the druggies any more!

[B.M]

Billings has been poor

But is no softer than any AFL outside player

That’s a crock

[SaintPav]

At least our worst defeat isn't to the druggies any more!

I guess that’s one way of looking at it.

[skeptic]

We’ve just been smashed in the middle all night

Needed Hannebery to play
Dunstan is not up to it
Billings and Hill need to be better
Ross has not been a leader at all tonight
Badly missed Jones
Bytels still developing
Dmac’s reminded us why he hasn’t played so much

And... I still reckon it’s one small forward too many. It’s just one guaranteed passenger when the opposition is on top and one less guy to rotate through the middle
Tonight it’s been Butler

[Ghost Like]

Incredible that we could still be 4&4 after round 8. Such a pity Gresham & Paton will not be available. Fortunately Dan the Han will be 2 weeks away.

[IluvHarvey]

When did Battle lose the ability to Kick the ball. He is the worst kick in our team ATM

[sks023]

I've decided to stop caring

[repta]

wow. two MASSIVE losses within 12 days.
THe Saints were poor at times in the first half last week (although the seond half looked like a different team)

[The Fireman]

What can the coach take from this?

[saintbob]

Can I ask why Carlisle wasn’t pushed back when we started getting smashed

[Ghost Like]

Quality entry by Lukey D with 1 minute 30 left. Nothing like practising what you're s*** at Luke. Well done.

[shrodes]

Nankervis 40 hitouts and 22 disposals. We will continue getting smashed any time we decide to take Hunter, McKernan, Carlisle to ruck contests.

[desertsaint]

well that was embarrassing. roll on the doom and gloom.

[Scollop]

They turned up for the four points, we turned up to get paid. Their are better coached than our team and it shows in the confidence they have in each other.

Better recruitment helps.

As does better development and a better footy manager. Neil Balme, Mark Williams, Blake Caracella, and Justin Leppitch have been huge for that club

[Devilhead]

What can the coach take from this?

That we cant win without Marshall or Ryder

[saintbob]

The only reason I watched it until the end is to see what the coach actually says and I’d really love to see the journos go really hard at him.

[1966]

85 points in 3/4 of football.
That was disgraceful.
Massive problems.
Losing is one thing but lack of effort can’t be accepted.

[bobmurray]

What a pathetic effort that was, typical StKilda.

[SaintPav]

Another big game flop.

What a disgrace.

[whiskers3614]

Another big game flop.

What a disgrace.

Gee I really hope they don't take pride game off us!

[iwantmeseats]

same as it ever was

Haha Tunnel vision? Mate your hatred towards Billing’s is obsessive. Yes he had a poor game but your comment about the last 8 years is nothing short of stupidity. You just have no clue.

[bangaulegend]

This is not an excuse but at least Richmond are the bench mark Essendon was a bunch of young kids similar results & not proud of either but het WTF do you do .
