Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

[B.M]

We are a bottom 4 team

With a charlatan in charge

[bobmurray]

Only one quarter of this crap to go.

Will we make a comeback ?

[SaintPav]

Some wizard.

f****** little smart arse

[Bruce G McAbee]

I think the best description of how we are going was made by our current President some time back: "it's not a linear progression."

This is incredibly sad from my POV. I'm old and I want to see us get better.

I've come to the conclusion that I'll never see a St.Kilda premiership.

Stop it.

You’ll upset the non stick acolyte.

[1971]

Can we trust any player to kick a goal? Can we trust any player? Perhaps Wilkie?

[Newman]

Just so over this team. About our best team on paper today. Bloody hopeless. Well - no way now we will make finals. Last year I thought we were a chance to win in every game ... now I've lost all confidence and just cross my fingers every game. 2 goals in 2 quarters. What a joke!!! I've only had one enjoyable experience in 9 weeks - a wins against Pies - and now we know it's just because they just got off to a bad start.

[Teflon]

Midfield absolutely disgusting
Worst in AFL by some margin
Ross Garcia Hastie - back to twos (least 2 are young)

Stop it.

You’ll upset the non stick acolyte.

He’ll still have you as his bottom feeder though
What a sycophant

[The_Dud]

Win or lose, the damage is done. 2024 is us fighting to not finish bottom 4.

42 inside 50s and only 8 have been to our advantage…

A big issue is there are a bunch of stars at our club who are put on pedestals BUT have huge deficiencies that cost us.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Steele hardly seen, Ross hardly seen, Windhager hardly seen, Owens hardly seen.
18 inside 50's for 1.5.

[Teflon]

18 inside 50s for 1.5 in that qtr
That’s just f***** shyte, unskilled players who can’t kick

[B.M]

It took a half to recognise that our backline was horribly unbalanced with slow talls picking up nimble smalls

Ball movement has been stagnant or hack kicks and the last kick i50 is a joke

Forwards don’t present and are actually pathetic


And getting cute with selection- serves them right

[Teflon]

Paton in middle interesting

[shrodes]

Paton moved mid to hard tag Newcombe it seems

[cwrcyn]

Stodgy midfield. It's the same old story. The only player we can count on to win a clearance is Marshall. You see the way Newcombe attacks the clearances with speed, aggression and energy. Our guys are tentative and flat footed. I've said it many times and I'll say it again. We will NEVER be a top 4 team with this midfield even if all the other pieces are in place

[Teflon]

How pathetic - midfielders
Clearance - fail
Hawks take it away just gutless

[Bruce G McAbee]

That sums up our team, absolutely crap.

[The_Dud]

Lol

[bobmurray]

Battle goals, again.

[samoht]

RTP ... Ross The Perplexed.

We can still do it, despite him ... his genius.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Typical, our centre half back is our leading goalkicker.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Our players are weak and timid.

[Teflon]

Hill pissweak
Bonner DUMB

[Bruce G McAbee]

Can you kick the goal King?
