Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks

[Scollop]

Ugly football again. Just imagine if we'd won. There'd be people posting that a win is a win. Positives...etc

The really funny thing is that no matter what the result, Teflon would be still telling us it was great coaching.

Actually... it's not funny... it's tragic.

[Teflon]

Coaches did well today
Swung battle forward , Wood forward, Payton into middle all good moves
We have the weakest , dumbest players in the comp
THE worst midfield- nit by a little but a long way
12 years of recruiting HBF/HFF crap like Billing’s and co has set us back 10 years

RTB set us back 5 years at least with his recruiting of rejects.

Strange call. Lyon was hired 24th October 2022, trade period ended 12th October 2022.
So the only "rejects" this could apply to are Liam Henry and Paddy Dow. Bonner was a delisted free agent.

Curious who you're referring to.

It’s up there with the dumbest post I’ve seen in 20+ years in this site and trust me I’ve read a lot of BMs so that’s saying something
This troll just piles on Lyon when we lose like Mehebabblots ..only posts after a loss
Never hear from them after a win …kinda weird masochist shyte

[Teflon]

They hunted the ball and wanted it more

Enough with the 18yo experiment

Time to play our best team

I think that’s papering over cracks
Zac Jones should be delisted end season
Play kids - get draft picks

[cwrcyn]

So many players just didn't look switched on. Flat footed, tentative, waiting for things to happen. No on field leadership. Steele is a good player but fails in that area. The problem being is that he is indecisive with ball in hand, and he's the one who should be leading the way in the style of play.

Marshall, Wilkie, Wanganeen-Milera, Sinclair, Higgins, and Hill are the only truly proactive players we have. The only ones who try to make things happen. Bonner tries in that area, too.

Absolute rubbish dished up today. Ploddingly slow, telegraphed passes, slow as a wet week defensive running, insipid tackling. The players aren’t playing with any intensity, or for each other. No shepherding. It looks like a team of individual big-heads.

[The Fireman]

Yep season over. Tried my Best to be positive now must succumb to all the miserable bastards on here

[B.M]

The coaching was reactive and he was out pointed easily by Mitchell

We had the better team - they played better - they won

The fact they started with 4 small forwards had our defenders panicking and all over the place!

Forward line was atrocious

Midfield average

Some players were invisible

[Teflon]

I was obviously referring to the first Lyon stint, Shrodes.

Oh you mean the one after multiple GF appearances??
You’re looking desperate now

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Cuddly Ross has failed.

Ross the **** needs to take over immediately.

[samoht]

You and I could have coached that side to a premiership, Teflon.

[Scollop]

You weak insipid **** pricks
Give sides 5 goals head start you get what you deserve
I don’t give a **** about honourable losses
That was as gutless , weak, dumb football as you’ll ever see
Gotta clean this place out
Seb, Membrey, **** passengers - gone
Draft pick time we are wasting our time and $ on this weak lot

That's the way. Blame 1 or 2 players

Ignore the multiple errors from 10 other players

That's how to support the St Kilda team

[Teflon]

Agree but we are carrying guys like Ross and Membrey have been for weeks has to change
Club has to retire sone of this crap and move on - Richo era players
Wouldn’t get games elsewhere

[Teflon]

You and I could have coached that side to a premiership, Teflon.

Yep sure champ all RTB fault
Keep letting your weak, gutless players off …that’s the Saints way

[Teflon]

Cuddly Ross has failed.

Ross the **** needs to take over immediately.

Hard to pull your socks up when you don’t have any on

[meher baba]

Honest to god Teflon, there must be something else you can do with yourself this evening.

[B.M]

So Ross has failed with this team Teflon?

He is going to rebuild now?!

lol
We surprised opposition for the first 5 rounds and snuck into the 8 since then have won 9 out of the last 27


Not the genius you lead us to believe

And remember, when Ratten was coach - it was all about the coach?!

[Devilhead]

It seems like we have no faith in the forwardline to lock it in when it gets down there so we aren't prepared to take many risks out of the backline and push up

There was close to no run through the middle today ... we played safe risk free footy and paid the price ... scared that their mosquito fleet would burn us on the rebound

Yer gameplan isn't working Ross ... time to add more run and dare

The way Port picked apart Geelong in the 1st half last night by keeping the ball constantly moving was joyful to watch

[samoht]

Sicily's 46 and Martin's 44 possessions off half back was the player's fault too ... it can't be the genius game plan.

[B.M]

So it was a coaching problem under Richo and Ratten

And a players problem under Ross

Yep that makes sense

[B.M]

We are the worst team to watch in the AFL

We just don’t score, shocking outdated game plan

[TsunamiSaint]

Ironic that at the end of the game, Brett Ratten is beaming and satisfied with the win in the coaches box, away from the hell hole that is Saint Kilda.

[samoht]

Time to vent ... we've won only 9 of our last 27 games.

That's 33.33% w/l.

[Teflon]

Honest to god Teflon, there must be something else you can do with yourself this evening.

And let your dribble reign supreme?
Who’d want to miss that opportunity!
Time to give yourself an uppercut and stop your obsession with me …it’s kinda Baby Reindeer-ish…

[Devilhead]

We had no effective small forward today

Missing Higgins much?

[Teflon]

Sicily's 46 and Martin's 44 possessions off half back was the player's fault too ... it can't be the genius game plan.

What was the game plan issue against the Pies?
We are all ears genius do tell ??
