Match Thread Saints v Bulldogs Round 18 2022

[samoht]

Zac Jones has no body strength ... he gets tackled and he's always gone.

[The Fireman]

Wow if we don’t get a midfield forget about next season

[spert]

Cant see Higgins holding a place in the seniors

I think Zac Jones is just not very good…

[The Fireman]

Lucky free to Steele

Tell curly

Been saying it for years, yet people are obsessed with trading away all our draft capital for more talls…

[Bruce G McAbee]

No leadership from the experienced players. We are years off a premiership if ever.

I'm 64 and I won't see another premiership.
Convinced this club simply isn't interested in winning one.
I agree with replacing the management, but not with GT.

[freely]

Listening on the ABC. Poor Mick Malthouse, practically weeping with the frustration of it!

Zac Jones is bloody awful. I don’t like potting players but he and 4-5 others should be playing in the VFL.

Most of which is the result of terrible drafting during Trout’s tenure.

[samoht]

We need to upgrade our "ridfield" with top 10 draft mids.

The next Bont, Bailey Smith, etc...

[saintkid]

Legitimately, we’ve got a bottom four coach, a bottom four CEO, a bottom four soon-to-be-CEO - do not expect anything but mediocrity.

When you invest in mediocrity, you become mediocrity.

And that is what we are.

Mediocre.

That's exactly right. Tonight epitomizes the massive failure in the choice of our higher priced, mature recruits from other clubs by Lethlean & co.
Hill, Crouch, Hannebery and to a lesser extent Jones, were nowhere near the type of player we needed.
This club has been crying out for skilled, damaging midfielders that can also hurt the opposition on the scoreboard.
Instead we got the complete opposite and one who was cooked before he arrived.
It's a credit to Steele that he's remained so upbeat knowing for a good 5 years now we badly needed to build a quality, supporting midfield around him.

On the flip side, look how much Bontempelli alone has torn us apart tonight.

[spert]

Country footy midfield vs AFL midfield

[Teflon]

Jason Dunstan

“From a tackling , pressure point St Kilda are incredibly poor….I don’t know if it’s attitude method but I can not comprehend what I’m seeing”

11 tackles in a half of footy

David King

“Fraudulent game plan…they have players who all creep forward to get out the back but this club doesn’t reward pressure”

THATS coaching and any moron on here suggesting otherwise needs to get their heads squarely out if their arse

We have signed a coach for another 2 years who fir 2/3 has been poor
That’s Board killing there imo
This President is soft
I don’t give a **** how rich he is in some tech business he lacks any nous in running this club
Must go
Someone has to roll for this inept performance
You can’t gloss over it

[shanegrambeau]

OK right..

Let me see Plan B Ratts!

Let me see Plan B!!!

[Bruce G McAbee]

It's the same s*** for the last 10 years, no matter who the coach is, the game plan hasn't changed.
It's awful to watch.
I bet the King brothers will be reunited on the Gold Coast and North are closer to a premiership than we are.
8.3, hiw the hell did we manage that.

[Booger]

Turnovers.

[Yorkeys]

They really have no pride in their professional roles

No composure
No leaders
Dogs are far from world beaters we are VFL.
Who put this on the field, Friday night and theoretically finals at stake.
Again I ask, don't we deserve an explanation even if it is the list is crap and no one cares about winning and nothing is going to change because we have locked this in to 2025.

[shanegrambeau]

And no offense Ratts.. if there is no Plan B
Members
It’s up to you

Im a punk living in Japan

I’m 42 and won’t see a premiership.

So sad that this group of “players” have officially made me lose interest in football. I can’t get my Kids to care because we are so disappointing.

No passion from most of the players and clearly just playing for a pay cheque.

I’m just so sad.

[Teflon]

Geezus did anyone see that footage of Dan Butlwr letting Hanan just run forward and score ???
And STILL this soft , cheap kick getting player gets AFL games HE AINT up to it????
It’s fools gold Brett wake the **** up
As King said “sub standard AFL football”

[Peanut Farm]

Sharman in the backline when Lienert a 100% better option. Stupid coach. Players running around like headless chooks. Look unfit as well.

That was damning stuff and it’s his 100 If he isn’t dropped then we know how much trouble we are in

And te-sign the coach after we beat stuff all off 1 quarters of footy
It’s cheap out the back game plan stuff
Dunstall is correct zero reward at this club for true pressure cause Ratten coaches for fast run n gun footy and when that cheap out the back stuff fails he’s got nothing
Honestly he should resign if he has a shred of credibility
Tim Watson had the balls to admit coaching wasn’t for him

[mickey]

THEY DON'T WANT IT !! You know what.. this team do this to me everytime and I'm 53. We unbelievably loyal supporters give our all for them to succeed every year .. NOT US. They have the fame, the money and our dream job, yet we still stroke their ego. They have given their supporters the least back in the history in the vfl/afl. So I hope they enjoy watching all the other teams in September enjoying themselves, I hope they all enjoy listening to opposition players talk about premiership reunions when they've retired....welcome to our world.

[Impatient Sainter]

The ball hasnt been down there, its living in the Bulldogs F50. What would be nice would be give Higgins and Butler a chance further up the ground because our midfield have been disgraceful.
