Match Thread Rd 1 vs the Filth

[Vortex]

At one stage in that first half it looked like our players thought Jeremy Howe played for the red white & black.

[desertsaint]

They are bottom four. And a fair bit better than us atm

Garbage

Which part?

All of it. I'll agree with you at the end of the game if Collingwood wins by more than 5 goals

Hopefully they won't. But they are atm.

[Vortex]

midfield is killing us. Jeremy Howe and Moore who are arguably the best intercepting markers in the comp and yet somehow our system couldn't isolate those two and deliver the ball to the 3rd option.

[meher baba]

I’ve seen some good in our performance so far.

But we’re not cutting it at the centre bounces and we’re not converting enough of our gettable shots on goal.

We could still pull off a win, but we’ll need to kick a lot of goals because the Pies look set to kick quite a few more.

Hill has been putrid so far. If he could lift, then we might be more dangerous.

[Ghost Like]

9 players have not laid a tackle. Pretty much the entire backline has not laid a tackle. Howard, Paton, Hill, Webster, Battle & Sinclair - 0 tackles.

I'm surprised Collingwood have been so inaccurate.

[perfectionist]

What's Mitch Owens doing in the team?

[mickey]

The biggest issue here is passion. Do they care ? Best player at the moment is first gamer Hayes is who they keep calling Marshall. We are being outclassed by Collingwood ? Something is wrong. They need a spray at half time. We can't blame unps, we're second to the ball. Ratten has 2 quarters to fix it.

[BadRossco]

Too short, too slow and poor skills the same old story

[desertsaint]

Maybe clarko is missing coaching already? Worth asking the question.

[Vortex]

And yeah, I gotta agree with BM, Owens is the first major selection faaaark up for 2022.

[bangaulegend]

Game is not over but will need a change of tack because what we are doing is not gunna win us this game. Coach needs to make the changes to get us back in the game IMO

[skeptic]

That was such a disgraceful effort from Sinclair

Had the opportunity to attack the ball and man and instead waited for a team mate to do it and gave up a goal

Absolute stinker from someone that we expect better from

[WellardSaint]

Did Ratts say we had a great summer?

[Goose is king]

My blood is boiling

[Banger9798]

Floodgates in danger of opening here....what has the preseason been about?

[happy feet]

Going to be a long season, again. We are shyte.

[Premium89]

Jeez I don’t like de goey.

[Banger9798]

Awful pressure...tackle bag at training might be an idea

[cwrcyn]

Completely outrun. Lack of speed around the ball. We look constipated and reactionary. Collingwood setting up really well behind the ball. Thank goodness for Marshall's heroic efforts. Byrnes. Owens, Gresham non existent. We're playing with 3 midfielders

[MC Gusto]

Will we be talking about how premierships aren’t won in March? I feel like I’ve heard that for awhile now

[The_Dud]

We are bad.

[skeptic]

Only thing left to hope for is that this team does something resembling giving a yelp.

Haven’t taken the game on all night and too many players not wanting to attack the contest

Fed up

[SaintPav]

Sad sh.it Saints fans.

[MC Gusto]

Getting smashed

[WellardSaint]

This is ugly and gonna get worse
