Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 15 2022

[saintkid]

Horrible inside from Ross…

We’ve got to get better skilled mids
No point having 30 and just kicking rain makers

Been saying that for weeks and seasons. We have it wrong structure-wise and still persist with duds.

[The_Dud]

Lucky to be so close.

[nobhead]

2 goals in a half of football

[SunnyErnie]

Once again we have become the Laughing Stock of the AFL

[asiu]

hmmmm

[Saintly66]

I’ve always liked Ratts but surely we’re not going to sign him up before the end of the season? This is absolute horse s***

[Bruce G McAbee]

2.2 for a half, pathetic garbage football.
No hunger, no system, nothing football.
Year in year out, nothing changes.

[axcellence]

Oh well. There's always next year.

[desertsaint]

bugger me as bad as our team is playing at the moment our supporters on here are showing them up.

[perfectionist]

Paton is one of the worst players ever to play the game at senior level.

Harsh! He did cop a pretty big head knock earlier.

What, when he was three? Complete dud.

[meher baba]

Given the massive discrepancy in frees and the many entries into their forward 50, I reckon we’ve managed a terrific defensive effort to keep them to 4-6 at halftime.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Well, don't have to worry about spending any money in September again.

[The_Dud]

What the hell happened to the team that beat Geelong, Freo and Richmond???

[SydneySainter]

Swans should have us put away.

[WellardSaint]

A Swan marked under no pressure, in their F50, Steele was nearby, guarding space at the time and showed no desire to run 20m towards the guy to at least attempt to pressure.
There was also an instance where a Swan took a mark but ump had called play on, every Saint nearby peeled away instead of one or 2 running at him.
I don't fracking get it

[The Fireman]

Goodbye Ratts and Hello Bucks

Mods ffs

Well take those rose colour glasses off and have a fair dinkum look at them

[B.M]

No structure in front of the ball

King not trying

[Teflon]

How do u get such an easy lead a mark there?

Lol

It’s called a game plan and a coach that can get a team to play a style
We have fumble mumble bumble forward Bomb
That’s our style
That’s coaching 101
Coupled with too many B grade players who look like stars against weaker opponents or when it’s all going our way
Jones has give away …4 frees now????? What’s he done re clean ball ?
Ross - tons of ball …high dinky little kicks who put his team mate under pressure
Max King won’t get off his bike and lead - tell him Marshall takes goal square you get out front and **** lead
Moves
Get Sinclair in the game on the ball - our smartest player

[SunnyErnie]

Goodbye Ratts and Hello Bucks

Mods ffs

Stop sooking sook

[BadRossco]

Having a bit of a crack but a big difference in skill level and lack of system will make a win unlikely

[sendmehomehappy]

I'm watching this shy%e with the sound off.

2 results:

1.Don't have to listen to this St Kilda hating rabble of commentators

2. It is clear our team has no semblance of any functional game plan at all.

System going forward is pathetic

FC%$ Ratten off now. He is a pretender of a coach.

[Yorkeys]

Well Howard can't play any worse
Chance Jones won't play next week
King might take a mark, there is an hour to go and
Lack of system has Swans confused
Percentage may only drop a bit if Sydney keep missing gimmes.
It's not all bad

[nobhead]

Dont know what it is but our players are not running hard enough forward when we have the ball to create options .time and time again we have the ball on the wing and are terribly outnumberd in fwd line

[saintkev]

There’s a lack of team play grunt. There’s a distinct absence of athletic height and skilled delivery of the ball. They’re playing as individuals. Extremely disheartening…so far.
