Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 9 2023

[CURLY]

Here’s another shot from a free.

Umpire Foote.

[1966]

Being killed on turnover today.
Sharman on a wing experiment needs to end.
Forward line needs a lot of work. Efficiency going forward has been poor all year. King obviously a big help.

[Scollop]

Our team is worse off with Higgins

Poor awareness when you are leading to where there is already a Saints tall Forward

I know it was an accident but he makes those errors far too often

[Sainter_Dad]

I think our system has now been well and truly found out. We jumped a few teams early in the season, but now it’s time for the brains trust to get back to the drawing board and change it up.

Still can't hear you

[Mr Magic]

Here’s another shot from a free.

Umpire Foote.

It was a high tackle from Stocker

[Teflon]

Is Dougald Howard the master at turning a certain easy clearance into a calamitous **** up and opposition scoring opportunity??

[The_Dud]

Set shot kicking is what’s holding Marshall back from becoming a true superstar.

Didn’t we just get a bloke down at the club this week?

[Annoyedsaint]

Dougal Howard is s***.
A local forward would towel him up

When the ball comes in like this he’s got no chance

Another goal directly as a result of him.
Certified dud.

[asiu]

bloody hell

[Scollop]

Here’s another shot from a free.

Umpire Foote.

If you're good enough you don't give them the opportunity

Marshall and Higgins both had set shots and missed

[1966]

Steele couldn’t lift his arm to tackle then.

[Teflon]

Marshall isn’t a forwards asss
Can not kick

[SaintPav]

Howard!!

[terry smith rules]

Is Dougald Howard the master at turning a certain easy clearance into a calamitous **** up and opposition scoring opportunity??

Correct, had 3 running inside him but turned to the outside

[CURLY]

Adelaide did this to Collingwood just didn’t convert.

[SaintPav]

This season has 2022 all over it.

Ground Hog Day

[Devilhead]

Really poor quarter .... Caminiti brain fade ..... Higgo snapping around corners on his non preferred .... Marshall miss from 20 out .... Membrey knocked out

Can't let this blow out ....need to protect that %

[Teflon]

So who comes out?
For mine - Membrey injured King
Byrnes - ineffective Billing’s/Windhager?
Paton - Webster
Hmmm…is Battle a lock….Highmore get a shot?
I’d even question Ross today….got to do something about the beige midfield

[shanegrambeau]

Adelaide kicked the last seven goals to beat us in Cairns last year.

Now we kick the last nine.

Just watch.

[The Fireman]

Yep won’t be threat in finals

We were a running side earlier..that seems to have disappeared

Looking forward to Ross,s presser

[desertsaint]

was at the casino last night. one last chip to throw away on roulette when a bloke comes up looking like he's had a very poor night. throws a single $100 chip on 7 in a hail mary move and up it comes.
we need that kind of luck right now. and then some.

[Yorkeys]

Is it not just a typical Saints performance in Adelaide. No Max, several players out of form, others unable to deal with the huge test that is Adelaide. Coaches seem to have plenty to consider. Changes, up to 4, next week?

[chook23]

Looks like 2 big loses today

PERCENTAGE dropped 15%

[Beno88]

Why do we allow our opposition to move the ball 100m uncontested from a kick in?

[Devilhead]

There were some classic 2 goal turnarounds that quarter

Caminiti not having the shot or missing Mitch .... they go down the other end and score

Marshall miss from 20 out dead in front .... they go down the other end and score

The Caminiti brain freeze would have put us within 4 goals

These are game killers
