Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 16 2023

[The Fireman]

Byrnes & Phillipou need to be dropped

Dees next week with Gawn & Grundy ..... Marshall needs help in the ruck .... not Michito & Caminiti who should both play permanently forward with Marshall forward a bit as well

Happy to see Campbell come in

Go to your room.

If you think Marshall is going to beat Gawn & Grundy using Hammer and Owens as a back up in turn weakening the strength of our tall forward set up against May & Lever then the d**khead crown is all yours

Marshall is the best we have ..sorry devil head but you need to give yourself an uppercut

[Teflon]

Where are all the w@knees saying it’s fane plan??
Selection committee?? Utter dross!
This list is so so
That win proves it
I can’t fathom why I’m the second half that forward line decided to semi function
Oh and for the record - I thought Cooper Sharman field kicks and kicks into 50 to lower eyes was superb
You watching Seb “bomb” Ros??

Clearly needs help though, bring in Campbell for some bash and crash.

Smack smack
He does need help
Actually thought Caminiti did ok in there
Geezus we are just a side tho …take the win but Dees on rebound next week…eeeekk!

[samoht]

We got the chocolates.
Speaking of which, Michito really gets you going ... or is it Chokito?

[Teflon]

Would that side second half last season come ba k from 32pts down interstate?????
Don’t think cos king is your issue
But don’t tell BM Scolloped and Porto ….easier to tell us all we shoulda kept Ratten
Unbelievable..

Gun

[Devilhead]

Eagles gained 2.5% from an 8pt loss

That's got to be the biggest percentage gain ever for a loss

[SydneySainter]

All we did was put lipstick on absolute pig of a performance.

That just papers over the cracks of the real problems we’re facing and to say the end result as all that matters is being aloof to the reality of our form.

I am not saying to drop him ..... he needs proper ruck back up help

And sorry but I ain't a fan of his rucking craft ..... many agree that his ruck craft is average

[mr six o'clock]

We have to thank the wet toast for not sacking their coach !
They play the lions in brissie next week, so cue another huge loss and then they'll give him the old lemon n sars.

Agree he needs help. But to criticise a bloke who is playing a position that no one else can at the moment and doing the best he possibly can and isn’t doing that badly needs to be thought about a little bit more carefully. He had a good game tonight. He gets the ball himself and gives it off without the help of anyone . Anyone who feels that need to put s*** on this guy at the moment is just , I don’t know off the charts crazy
You are having a crack at his rucking craft

[shanegrambeau]

We just fell over the line against a team 1-14 with a percentage of 49

Wonderful

It was 47.4% before the game. We actually lifted their percentage.

Sorry but his ruck positioning in the 1st half was sub standard .... continually outmuscled and out positioned ..... his standard go to is to try and grab the ball and boot it blindly out of the contest and most of the time he can't do that because he is positioned behind the opposition ruckman

He is average at finding front position ..... if he does get a hit out its barely to our advantage

He got better in the 2nd half around the ground taking a few soild grabs

That said 42% disposal efficiency with 8 clangers

Not questioning his effort ...... though I will question the effort of some others

[B.M]

Marshall - his game today was immense

I’d take a ruckman who gets 26 possessions, 34HOs, 6 tackles, 8 clearances

Over a lumbering tall or jumping athlete that gets less than 10 touches and a few hit outs to advantage

[chook23]

Please never wear that jumper again.
Horrible.

Why wear it in 3 games??

[Devilhead]

42% DE & 8 Clangers or we gunna ignore that?

He improved in the 2nd half ...... by a fair margin

His 1st half was trash despite 12 disposals hence when I first commented

[The Fireman]

Again devil.. do we have anyone in that position that could do better..?

[Devilhead]

Where did I say he should be dropped?

I said he had a very average 1st half and that his rucking was below average ...... am I wrong?

[The Fireman]

.? I certainly didn’t say that you stated that he should be dropped. I’m just saying who else can we put in his position that does anything better than he can

[The Fireman]

My only negativity at the moment is based on Gresham

No one at this stage ... as it is Lyon won't try anyone else anyway

It's obviously a position going forward where we need better depth

Correct. So atm is it what it is

Personally, I think Marshall is doing okay
