Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 10 2023

[Jacks Back]

Go Saints!!!!!

[samuraisaint]

I see the Giants are giving away free tickets to anyone and anybody who is 16 and under! What sort of business model is that?!

[Scollop]

Ben Paton is the sub

[magnifisaint]

Dougal Howard you will be scrutinized.
I hope you are a rock in defence!

[skeptic]

Ben Paton is the sub

Soooooo boring.

Why the heck would you have a defensive minded player struggling for form as the sub.

You could throw Bytel in the middle to see if he could get you some clearances

Windhager to tag and then maybe bob up for a goal

Shaman to see if he could take a grab, play as a bit of a swing man through the middle or sit on a HBF to free up someone

Paton is close to the last choice I’d have on the list for that role
He’s not only a known quantity at this point but he’s had the most opportunity of all of them in consideration

[The Fireman]

I’m really worried about our midfield

Just hoping they lift. My whole scrutiny will be on them

[Scollop]

Dougal Howard you will be scrutinized.
I hope you are a rock in defence!

Why not scrutinise players who can be more easily replaced in the team?

Like some of the mids who have been poor in recent weeks

[bobmurray]

Ross turnover.

[Sebastian Tombs]

2mins in I'm already sick of the commentary

[bobmurray]

Has the total crowd reached double figures ?

Could not agree more.

[Trev from the Bush]

Just a reminder of what we have been missing. Max is back!

Now, how do we stop Toby?

[Devilhead]

Daniels cutting us up badly

[Devilhead]

Giants have their kicking boots on

[Otiman]

Now, how do we stop Toby?

Sub Paton in.

[meher baba]

We can't win a clearance.

[therabbitinthehat]

getting slaughtered in the middle

[Devilhead]

Not a great start ... getting beat on the outside

[1966]

Odd move leaving Paton out this week.
Best lock down small/medium defender with good record against Greene. He is looking very dangerous.

[skeptic]

6/7 top possession getters are GWS so far

I wouldn’t have minded if he started
I wouldn’t have minded if he was dropped
Can’t stand the choice of him as sub

Maybe he can come on and tag Green after he gets his 30th touch

[Scollop]

I’m really worried about our midfield

Just hoping they lift. My whole scrutiny will be on them

And when we say 'midfield' that includes the extended midfield with wingers, high half forwards and Brad Hill

Hilly had a shocker last week. Only 13 touches

He's started poorly today with a loopy shallow inside 50 early in the 1st that went to a 50/50 contest and Higgins (short arse) was outmarked

[skeptic]

Not watching the game but bloody hell that happened quick… 2 goals and a bunch of possessions to our key mids

[Otiman]

Bit of a shootout, I think that's what we need.

[Trev from the Bush]

Hopeless Fox commentary can't tell the difference between Stocker and Phillipou!
