Match thread Saints v Dogs

[bigcarl]

I thought Bassat’s letter raised the white flag for 2024.

Yes, looks like it's a get games into the kids type of year.

[Otiman]

Butler hamstrung.

No loss.

[CURLY]

Butler hamstrung.

Most would have walked off after not getting a free for that chase down.

No loss.

Yes it is.

RTB thanks for the coaching on tackling and team defence.... here's a tip. If we get the ball first we don't need those skills. It's a simple game. See ball. Get ball. See big sticks, kick between them.

We watch football.
You watch free ball.

[DJ Higgins]

Butler hamstrung.

Taking the easy way out

[Otiman]

Byrnes has lost me today.

Plenty of passengers but he has had zero impact on the game.

[The Fireman]

Beaten convincingly all around the ground

[Bruce G McAbee]

Is Marshall okay?
Just that he's on the bench.

[Otiman]

May as well put the cue in the rack. Should have done it half time.

Can’t wait for the Rose Coloured Glasses Gang to find ways to defend this insipid performance.

No one can defend this performance, but it gives a chance to all the miserable barstard on here to sink the slipper in to everyone at The Club

Maybe some down at the club need a slipper sunk into them?

No more protected species, demand excellence and be ruthless.

Agree

What makes you think we're not demanding excellence?

Maybe we're just no good.

Final Score.
Saints 9 -10 -64 v Bulldogs 19 - 10 - 124

[bigcarl]

10 goals. Lots of work to be done. Been a while since we put a side to the sword like that

It’s clear from what we see every week.

Didn’t Bonner have all-time high turnovers in a game a few weeks back? Do you think there was even a discussion about dropping him?

[saynta]

Full Time ..frees 21 to 8 Eff me.

[saintkev]

How’s the string of frees to get English a shot on goal

Cheating
Umps squaring up for favouring us last week?

[B.M]

This is pathetic- any excuses are laughable

Some of the football - is the worst I’ve seen

Sharman, Byrnes, Caminiti - went late in the draft or undrafted for a reason - they are not AFL standard

Phillipou has been gifted games since mid last year

Coach is not the Panacea - never has been

Our unavailable list is more than 10 who the hell can they pick?

King Hayes Howard unavailable

We have no one left to pick

You don’t learn too quick do ya?

Literally anyone.

[SaintPav]

I think the simplest way to put it is we’re a club that’s all too happy to accept mediocrity and afraid to demand excellence.

That's a cop out. Who is doing this? Which people, and what have they said or done to suggest it?

We put our stars up on a pedestal (whether they deserve it or not) and refuse to look at them objectively, players run around week after week knowing they’re untouchable, refusing to make hard calls for fear of media and fan (who are also conditioned to accept mediocrity) backlash, low training standards and everyone’s happy to have a laugh…

And so on and so forth

Gresham and Billings were told to look elsewhere.

Ratten was shown the door.

I think they are trying but it’s obviously not good enough.

I think they think they’re trying!

Trust me. I might be loyal but I’m not an acolyte.

We can’t seem to score more than 9 goals.

We are a terrible team to watch.

[B.M]

How did Ross go tonight Firey?

[bobmurray]

Saints Ladder % now 89.6, will be a lot less after Port belts us in Round 7.
