[desertsaint]

I hate Hinkley.

Fkn Malcolm Blight acolyte and hates the club.

Hinkley looks like he would stink of ciggies.

Not sure why I think it, but it’s there.

it is.

Stinkley

[Otiman]

Time for a sub.

[Teflon]

Just handball max

[The Fireman]

Windhager on

[bobmurray]

Cordy subbed out for Windy.

[SydneySainter]

Umps on our side and we’re still losing.

[SaintPav]

Don’t think we can win. It’s just not our night.

[CURLY]

Byrnes a liability

[Teflon]

It’s pressure but we are just handball 3-4 chains under pressure and fumbling

[Scollop]

Byrnes I think is the key. 6 touches and struggling to get near it. I reckon if he can lift, we’ll left

Byrnes and Crouch watch

Ronnie's had 12 touches at 92% disposal efficiency

Crouch has had 18 touches at 50% and 3-4 direct turnovers.

[Teflon]

Membrey is no Caminiti
Slow brain to foot and pushed off a marking contest way to easily so far

[desertsaint]

if we win this we're playing finals. hopefully won't be this flat again.

[meher baba]

Byrnes a liability

That's an overstatement. But I do think Billings might be a better option next week.

[Scollop]

Byrnes a liability

How many times has he fumbled or turned it it over?

How many times has he burned his team mates by being hungry in the forward line?

[Teflon]

Byrnes I think is the key. 6 touches and struggling to get near it. I reckon if he can lift, we’ll left

Crouch not had his best that’s for sure
But it’s clear AGrade midfielder quality we lack
There is no Saints “Bont” to go into the middle and turn the tide
Middle we look like losing most contests
8 points but feels more
Their goals coming easier

Crouch is playing against one of the best midfields in the comp. Your hero Bytel played excellently last week against the Carlton VFL team. Try to get a bit of perspective.

Membrey is no Caminiti

He looks very flat footed out there and quite frankly offering less than Caminiti.

[perfectionist]

I can't understand the choice of Windhager over Bytel. Bytel is faster and taller. You don't need in and under players in the last quarter - you need run.

He’s treacle slow..

[BadRossco]

Port have just that little bit more class which win probably win out in the finish

[The Fireman]

We are second to the ball on the ground

[desertsaint]

captain's goal steely!

Don't make excuses for him 2 weeks in a row. Most of his fumbles and turnovers are when he was free

Here's some perspective

The whole team was winning but that doesn't mean you look at individuals and do whats best for the team

People talk about not flirting with form. Trev from the Bush reckons they're like thoroughbreds and you just keep playing them until they show signs they need a spell

Crouch showed signs last week.

On the other hand you have a guy in hot form who is finding the footy and you don't play him. That's what I call flirting with form

Fkn Ridiculous
