Match Thread Saints v Weagles Round 19 2022

[Bruce G McAbee]

Well, we haven't come out after half time again.

Yep, we’ll lose this one, too. I blame the club for getting us excited with a flying start to the season. We’re just not that good

We enjoy losing, because it's easy and we have no drive, no ambition and Ratten is being out coaches again.

[Scollop]

Sinclair gets a lot of footy and he wastes 20-25% of his possessions.

Both when he’s kicking out from deep in defence and also when he

bombs it long inside 50. He gets lazy and plays dumb but also it’s symbolic of our team

Hill the same

No connection and no caring

[HardSaint]

Thanks christ for that
Did everything they could to not goal

[SunnyErnie]

Thank crickey for Membrey

[seano1]

bugger me. the pies have done it again.jusr pulling wins out of their arses every week.

Well coached side and have a pretty good list with the Daicos boys

We need a good coach

We need a better list

[Scollop]

What a graceful, smooth transition inside 50 with slick passes and smart decision making

What a goal by Membrey. We ooze class

[bigcarl]

Get f—— umpire

[Teflon]

Higgins did well in Membrey goal
15-7 inside 50 eagles way

[Impatient Sainter]

Ratten needs to get this team back to basics % - talking to each other, shepherding, giving the first option, playing in front, when in defence being accountable for an opponent.

Actually look to where your kicking and kick to the advantage for your team mates.

Football is not rocket science, we seem to be over playing every possession, nothing is instictive.

[saintbob]

King is a liability in this quarter

[The_Dud]

Close game, though to be fair the Eagles are a good team…

[perfectionist]

We've got this. I can see a 10 goal last quarter coming up.

Sinclair is keeping us in this game, he is a freak

[saintkid]

Higgins did well in Membrey goal
15-7 inside 50 eagles way

Higgins made that goal possible. Great effort.

[The_Dud]

Steele 15 touches in that quarter, doing everything he can to keep us from getting run over.

Take the captaincy off him I reckon

[Bruce G McAbee]

King is a liability in this quarter

I hate to say it but I think he's looking overrated.
The ability is there, but it is way to inconsistent for a guy in his 3rd season.
Then again, he might tear WC a new one in the last quarter.
We could use it.
Hawthorn will beat us easily next week at this point.

We are making them look good

[bangaulegend]

Terrible quarter West Coast owned us & should be in front we have just gone back into our shells look tired & going to take a big effort from here .

If we had 4 more of him we would be hard to beat

Overrated???
No Naughton or Bruce to help him crash packs
Had turned contests into goals for us off the wing
I swear some people don’t watch football…

[skeptic]

Gotta say…

I like Byrnes. A good example of why you give players opportunity. Has been decent today and looks likely.

Long, not much ball but does something every time he’s near it

Coops as well IMO really harshly maligned. One of the few in defence that’s actually willing to go up in the air against the big forwards and compete with them. Reckon he’s doing well in a role outside of his weight class.

Windhager… haven’t seen a defensive game from a Saints mid in eons.

[The Fireman]

Are we tanking??

[Teflon]

Are we tanking??

Since Rd 16 I’d say…
Torn.

[skeptic]

The criticism of King is laughable IMO.

You guys just expect miracles contest after contest

[Bruce G McAbee]

Oh for God's sake, give up that stupid breathing thing and fire each other up instead.
