Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 18 2024

[Mr Magic]

a Wilson handball into the Crows goal square gifts them a goal.

His mistake was trying to give it to Bonner, who allowed his opponent to run past him and take the ball

[bobmurray]

Geeez look at those forwards numbers
Owens 1
Membrey 1
Higgins 3
Butler 3

Says a bit about keeping how involved they’ve gotten into the play

We need to recruit a new forward line if our current forwards are spectators.

[saintbob]

Went back to playing dumb footy, weren’t prepared to put their head over the ball and got caught hanging out for cheap kicks.

[Teflon]

Missing handballs

Yep Wilson in front of goal and get Bonner off ffs soft liability

That’s the knock on Wilson, his decision making can be terrible at times.

[Jacks Back]

A hard slog but we dropped off a bit in the second half of that second qtr. Need to get going again.

[loris]

Is Steele still on the ground? I haven’t noticed him for about 10-15 minutes. He’s not at any ball ups - has he gone off injured ? I did notice the doctor late in the first quarter run out toward one of our players, but camera panned on so couldn’t pick up who it was?

[B.M]

Owens is running in concrete and can’t get a kick - lost all confidence

Membrey is slow with the ball and can’t get separation now

Butler is ordinary- doesn’t do the basics and tries to be cute

Higgins is an opportunist- hot and cold

It's often hard watching those two but important for them to get the experience, they are not Robinson Crusoe though.

[1971]

Poor old Membrey he is done.

[Scollop]

Every St Kilda player of the 22 that have been on the ground have laid a tackle except for Sinclair and Tim Membrey

Phillipou 6 tackles. Steele 5 tackles (yes loris ...he is out there ). Sharman and Owens 4 each

[StPeter]

Mitch Owens needs to find some form.

One possession to half time and metres gained -2.

[Scollop]

No wonder Membrey and Higgins and Owens can't get their hands on it. We're not going forward

22 inside 50's in the first half for us. We are holding back. Trying to control the footy instead of taking territory.

In the wet we should be moving it forward with chaos balls inside 50

Wilson gets a pass but he does cost on missed handballs at times that’ll improve though with a few seasons

[Banger9798]

I think with the Pou experience, Michito back to the Magoos is a very good idea.

Bonner is a liability

Scollop I saw Steele a lot in the first quarter, then early in the second, he was playing well - I think the conditions suit him- then I realized I hadn’t seen him later in the second quarter - they aren’t showing the bench in telly, so can’t see if he’s just having a rest on the pine & couldn’t get back on.

[Scollop]

Sinclair needs to lift for us to win this

[SaintPav]

Umpires awarding everything to the crows

[skeptic]

Wilson and Bonner 10min on the bench

RTB seems unforgiving RE unforced errors tonight

[skeptic]

Feels like it’s been ages since we kicked a goal

[bobmurray]

If we lose this game Pick 4 is back in play, i prefer winning games of football rather than an improved draft position. The saints haven't played very well since the 1st quarter. Still, only 7 points in it, which might be a lot in a wet game.

[bobmurray]

Butler couldn't find a forward to kick to so he kicked it out on the full.

[bobmurray]

Missy missed his shot on goal.

[bobmurray]

Pou goals.

[spert]

The midfield have been bloody useless since halfway through the second quarter
