Hiding behind their mums.

Once again an encouraging first quarter littered with wasted opportunities. Then we put the cue in the rack and go home.

I refuse to accept that this is the players fault each week.

The buck stops with the coaching panel and the head coach.

Something needs to change or we are going to make the Waston era look like the grand old times of the 60's.

Point to Dal.

Bulldogs kicked 3.8 this quarter - lucky they've been so inaccurate.

markinUSA · Post: # 582111Post **markinUSA** » Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:00pm

73 to 38.

yeah
they are all zoning off instead of applying pressure.

great tactic

Life Long Saint · Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:00pm

We are nearly 100 possessions down before 3/4 time.

That's the equivalent of 5 players. How we are not 100+ down is amazing.

3 minutes left in the quarter, hopefully a late goal for us

WinnersOnly · Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:01pm

SAINTS are a long way off being a competitive team again. Recycled players are shyte and it is the mistake we have made our whole history. Following this club is heart breaking....

Anyone know how much a Syndey Kings membership is?

They are handballing a lot more than us... it seems to have given them a lot of run. We have 86 handballs. They have 120. Big difference!

Rushed behind to us.

Don't worry about stats. They run, we do not.

markinUSA · Post: # 582120Post **markinUSA** » Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:03pm

We have not kicked a goal for 24 minutes.

gO.SainTs · Post: # 582121Post **gO.SainTs** » Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:03pm

Another point for us,

73 to 39

matrix · Post: # 582122Post **matrix** » Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:03pm

running bounces 19 to 2 in this quarter in their favour

Winmarvellous · Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:03pm

And therein lies the trouble. I don't care if you've got no heart, earn your friggin paycheck at least. Some serious moves must be made at seasons end, from the coaching staff to the playing stocks. Serious consideration needs to be given to trading some of our so-called stars while they still have some name recognition and we can get something for them (I'm looking at you Kosi and Gram). The team is a rabble, start the rebuild.

I'm only listening to the game on the radio; can't see it. So I was listening on the radio and looking at the AFL stats trying to work out what's happening... if I could see the players and their run I'd have a much better idea. I was just looking at the stats to work out what is going on.

gO.SainTs · Post: # 582125Post **gO.SainTs** » Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:05pm

I think they just kicked a goal before the siren..

Stillwaiting · Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:05pm

They play a style that is supposed to negate the opposition, yet they can do that, nor can they score thmeselves

Another piss poor performance, lyon, burke thomson have a lot to answer for

HAVEA GO

Ditto but it's as simple as one team running & the other standing still. It's virtually to that degree.

every player in our half of the field, + 6 of our players in one HALF of their forward 50 and they pin point a pass to aker for a goal

markinUSA · Post: # 582129Post **markinUSA** » Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:05pm

Aka kicks 4th goal.
Three Quarter Time: Dogs by 40 points.

Saints: 5.9. 39 to them 11.13. 79
Giansiracusa and Aka have 4 each.

If Ross Lyon is not screaming his lungs out right now i will be extra disappointed.

HE should be yelling and abusing this pathetic rabble until his throat is sore.

Round and round we go.

Cairnsman · Post: # 582131Post **Cairnsman** » Sun 08 Jun 2008 5:08pm

Why wait till the end of the year. Start the rebuild now. If we are lucky it won't need to be a big rebuild.
