Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 22 2022

[freely]

Is Sharman off injured ?

corky they're saying - but a bad one.

[Bruce G McAbee]

No improvement in 10 years.

[Trev from the Bush]

Just a gulf between the sides

Saints just don't look good enough.

The effort is there but just not good enough

Yep, we are playing a team that has played finals in the last 3 years and accept we are just not good enough.

What I can't accept is the diatribe from so called Saints supporters on this forum. So, goodnight from me. And keep up the pressure boys, things will turn.

[1966]

We have been worked out in 2nd half of season.
We got away with the game style early in the year. But have no Plan B. Forward line structure is a shambles.

[George27]

Hill is the worst 1 on 1 defender I have ever seen at this level.
Cannot play back.

You must not have seen Fevola try to play at fullback on G-Train !

[Ape_Man]

No improvement in 10 years.

I disagree.

They keep getting better and better at disappointing me.

Too true ‘66. He’s a deadset liability.

How is it a diatribe to concede the fact that Lions are a better side?

[bigcarl]

Make some changes Ratts FFS. What's to lose?

[saintkev]

Smashing us on the turnover again again and again

Free Lions everywhere

Static boring ball movement

Work it the fk out Ratten

Predictable pedestrian football.

[bangaulegend]

Totally out classed they are so much better than us it's embarrassing that we fallen so far . We are lucky to be in touch & we can still make this a contest probably can't win but at least give it a shot

[Ghost Like]

Hill is the worst 1 on 1 defender I have ever seen at this level.

Let’s match him up on their most dangerous forward then.

Genius.

Very interesting, Cameron gave Webster the hammy he was praying for, then got gifted a bloke who had "no body contact" written in his contract.

Muppets on here will still moan about Paton though, clever.

[Banger9798]

Rooey getting stuck into us (very appropriately)

Frustrated by the style

[Devilhead]

17 inside 50s .....wtf

Boring slow static footy

No dare ..... No risk taking ...... No Finals

Take the fkn game on you nitwits

[chook23]

Ball movement deplorable

[The Fireman]

Headless chooks. The effort seems to be there they just don’t know what to do

[Rubyjo]

We are the basket of deplorables.

I thought Kermit's comments were quite succinct.

[skeptic]

Here’s what makes me question the coaching…

Our attempts at zoning is terrible. Teams cut through it and frequently find free players

Our structure is terrible.
Not that King gets a pass per’se but it really feels like we’re going out of our way to make him look bad. There is absolutely nothing that works to his advantage… every pass is climb over two or three

Ball movement has been covered

We just have no aggression with the ball. Our moves are kick short or bomb to a pack with no in between. Why can’t we run the ball?

[The Fireman]

They need to throw caution to the winds and just run the footy at all times. No stopping and bulls*** sideway kicks. The season is over anyway

Need long to keep hurting them

[BadRossco]

Most of them having a crack with the exception of a couple of faint hearts but really just not in the same class on the field or coaches box.

[bangaulegend]

I understand that we don't have their talent but we should be able to match their effort & IMO that is not the case ATM . Lets get a bit daring take the game on we will lose anyway so just give it a crack

[The_Dud]

Classic Dougal

[Teflon]

No improvement in 10 years.

I disagree.

They keep getting better and better at disappointing me.

No system
Handball happy saints
We’ll coached

[Devilhead]

How many friggin times are Lions players allowed to move around on the mark or overrun the mark
