Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024

[Annoyedsaint]

Dougal Howard is a big girls blouse.
Absolute liability and anyone who thinks he’s part of the future is an idiot

[shrodes]

Tackles 45-25
Remember when we were a good pressure side?

[The_Dud]

Too horrible tackling efforts leads to 2 late goals.

Been evident for weeks, why is nothing done about it?

[B.M]

Can Ryan Byrnes kick anything but a mongrel

He is a scrubber

A fit VFL player - that’s all he is

[Scollop]

Umps are dogs

[CURLY]

We haven't had a very good deal from the umpys tonight.

Been absolutely reamed.

Tackle them it’s play on
Tackle us it’s ball

Marking contest to Port can’t touch
Marking contest us do what you aant

[The_Dud]

13-7 including a free that cost Hammer a goal.

[meher baba]

We're playing much better though.

[WellardSaint]

We have Goddard, Harves, Harvey, Enright as former legends in the coaching box.
Not their fault.
It's the players fault

[Winmore]

He's not going to rip it up first game back. Give him a break.

Rip it up? Are you kidding?He’s only ever been good at shifting blame for his own mistakes.

[SaintPav]

Cordy is much better than Howard.

[CURLY]

Can Ryan Byrnes kick anything but a mongrel

He is a scrubber

A fit VFL player - that’s all he is

No. No is the answer.

[B.M]

Can someone explain the Howard selection?

Cordy - Dixon
Wilkie - Georgiadis
Battle - T.Marshall

Did they think a ruckmans was going to rest forward?!

It was horrendous selection - ridiculous

[spert]

Lyon needs to get rid if the play on at all costs game, we're too slow to do it, and start getting the team to play man on man footy. Out-coached again so far. Pou looks like a schoolboy when the ball is in contests and Membrey and Sharman make the forward half too slow. Sub Dougal and put Sharman down back.

[samoht]

Cordy is much better than Howard.

More Cordynated.

[saintkev]

Dougal being Dougal…a great girl’s blouse. Soft as…

[WellardSaint]

Cordy is much better than Howard.

Cordy has a football brain. He's got a medal from 2016.
Earned it by being accountable.
Unlike Dougal

[meher baba]

You're all so critical. But 10 points down at half time is far better than I had envisaged at the start of the game.

[magnifisaint]

Looks like Ross, Howard and Membrey won't be playing next year.

[The_Dud]

It’s crazy because Howard has all the physical attributes to be our number 1 defender, but is absolutely hopeless between his ears!

[magnifisaint]

You're all so critical. But 10 points down at half time is far better than I had envisaged at the start of the game.

PA have missed 4 easy ones in front of goal.

[cwrcyn]

On the positive side we're keeping their midfield honest. Garcia doing a good job on Butters so far.

Wilson has been very good. Hill had a good first quarter.

Sharman needs to lift. He lacks attack on the ball and the player. He's had some disappointing efforts in recent weeks. With King out, he really needs to go harder.

We're playing just okay and we can play a lot better than this, but to be within 10 points at half time is something I would have taken pre game. Red time goals against us have been an issue all season

[skeptic]

I gotta say… really impressed with young Caminati tonight. Presented and locked dangerous.

Our forward line in general is a bit of a shambles with King, Caminati, Coops and Membrey being too tall and all over each other.
Seems to me that Caminati is the most competitive of the bunch but he seems incompatible with King. We need to figure that out.

Coops looks completely devoid of confidence atm and Membrey ain’t crash hot.

Dougal needs significant discipline- needs to aim to achieve basic fundamentals

[WellardSaint]

Looks like Ross, Howard and Membrey won't be playing next year.

Wow.
I got slammed for questioning Skunk's value when I said we can't carry him and he's past it

[magnifisaint]

They should be 30 pts in front.
