Anyway ..taking into account this f****** terrible display of saints football.this the perfect opportunity to rip into each other

[Yorkeys]

Gene pool is shallow but if Gresham, Phillipou, Ross, Higgins and Howard were dropped we could not play worse. Honestly this is so disappointing. I see why Tony74 has gone quiet about the gold medal coaches. I knew Eagles and Simpson would come out hard. Our guys came out like marshmallows with no hand eye coordination. Ross cannot motivate just mouth off. This performance is pathetic Bassett. Your wine cellar is safe. Goodness me we deserve better, even Teflon and Vortex don't deserve this crap. Looking fwd to Saints TV rationalisation even if we start playing in the second half.

[SaintPav]

Mason Wood gone back to being a dud.

Absolutely, let it rain.

[Teflon]

Pavlich in commentary made a profound statement.

He said Simpson knows how Ross Lyon teams like to play.

That's the problem with Lyon. Too conservative. Too predictable

Don't be fooled by the early talk about the assistant coaches. This is a Ross Lyon team playing a Ross Lyon game plan

This.

This club will lose players and quality assistants if this continues. No one except Ross could possibly be enjoying their job at the moment. And it shows.

His pure stubbornness and reluctance to change is painful.

How did that work the first 6 weeks????
Do you really Lyon is coaching them to lose congested ball and stoppages??
It’s time this club out the blame fair and squarely in the shoulders of overrated players
Stop
Making
Excuses

Go and watch the replays and make your own mind up.

It was the same players then.

That’s it avoid the question entirely - brave!
Meanwhile I watch the ball bounce in the middle of 3 of our players who ALL stand back while an Eagle charged through to take possession
Yep…game plan…

[Devilhead]

Umpoor just letting West Coast ruck maul Marshall while Marshall goes for the ball

Marshall has been pathetic

Out muscled

Out positioned

Out played

We have been screaming for another support ruck

Equal in hit outs 12 disposals 3 clearances. Open your eyes d**khead

Nope sorry ... he gets man handled in the ruck contest

He isn't strong enough and always worried about his opposition ruck ..... hardly ever jumps ..... just tries to grab it and kick it ..... worst tap ruckman in the comp

He is having zero influence

You're a cockhead.

So you actually think he has been good

Correct
And let’s hope it’s decent comp
If anyone thinks Billing’s saves us they got rocks..

[B.M]

How about

Just pick the best players

[Rubyjo]

We will win but it's a sad story

[Scollop]

The first 6 weeks was an accident and incidental

It wasn't planned by Ross. It was a situation forced on him with our injuries

The players played a style of game they were instructed to play from the assistants (remember)

What we are seeing today is the Ross Lyon style and the Ross Lyon philosophy settling in.

[Devilhead]

Battle subbed out

Shut up f***wit

One play in the last minute sums up where we're at ... 5 players around the ball, all left it for each other and one eagle grabbed the ball and took off. It's called INTENT AND DESIRE. We have such a defensive mindset now we watch then tackle. How about we get the ball first, it's not a hard game. Get the ball before the opposition.

Stop the zoning, it doesn't work. Play man on man and beat your opponent !!!!!

[MC Gusto]

Wonder if it was angry Ross or cuddly Ross at half time?

So then... what's the difference between the first 6 weeks and now? The same players are on the park. Yes, they're getting spanked. But this is the same team of footballers Einstein

Some people encourage mediocrity, some demand a little more.
