Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 5 2021

[B.M]

We are playing an inside stoppage game, and getting sliced up on the outside.

Selection
Crouch, Bytel, Ross, Dunstan, Steele all one paced inside Mids and not good kicks

Giving it straight back to Houli and Co

No Gresham No Jones and we are getting out run on the outside!

[I love the saints!]

Can our forwards provide a lead? Missing a real ruck yet again. And some baffling umpiring calls. The last couple of minutes we looked better, but a combination of bad luck and some poor efforts didn't help. Plus they can just throw and drop it whenever they want.

[The_Dud]

5 day break is not helping. They're running in quicksand.

Absolutely no excuse.

[I love the saints!]

And the 5 day break is hurting us.

For anyone whoever suggests Luke Dunstan should play seniors for St Kilda or is the better "keeper" than Acres, please replay that 2nd Quarter...he's putrid!

putrid quarter indeed. but...

acres was the most overrated player on here since rix rox rux.

No that would be that pathetic prick that wears #13

[bergsone]

Its good King taking some grabs,but his set shot kicking is very ordinary

[IluvHarvey]

Oh and how can I forget McKenzie???? He has more score involvements for Richmond then anyone on the field.

[SaintDippa]

Need to run the footy. Chip Chip chip then long down the line won't work today if we let tigs set up the zone.

Jonathan Brown just went after Hill on Fox

[Devilhead]

Webster injured again!!!!!

[BigD]

Jonathan Brown just went after Hill on Fox

Needs a rocket lit under him at half time

[Otiman]

Dunstan hasn't found the pace of the game yet.

I'm going to try & stay positive. There's a half to go & we can win but I'm in Adelaide & I can hear through the tv our crowd aren't intimidating. We groan & stay silent because we've lived it for too many years. We won last week because the players fed off the crowd. Crows supporters are always loud because they don't understand the game. I can see hills effort but in Adelaide the old granny ladies would cheer him when he jumped over a fallen player, we collectively go mmmm. Here's a tip ... You buggers are lucky that you get to go every week. Maybe for just once just freakin yell to intimidate the tigers even though McKenzie got holding the ball twice unfairly for at least making an effort. West coast crowd are the same & look what you did to them. Get loud !!!!

[bangaulegend]

Pretty much out classed they move the ball on at all costs & have so many runners that use the ball well on the other hand we are predictable slow ball movement with average skills. I think the effort has been pretty good but just don't have the composure or skill level of the Tigers. It could get ugly just need to fly the flag & give it our best shot

WOW, another blinded by baubles. That's one of the stupidest posts ever. We are chocka block with inside mids & we select the worst of them to complete a Full House. I'd love Acres out there, he plays inside as well as outside, he draws tackles and puts the ball to advantage.

Jonathan Brown just went after Hill on Fox

What did he say?

[B.M]

Dunstan has got his hands on the ball, that has been a problem.

[bergsone]

Missing Jones big time imo

[Impatient Sainter]

One team backs itself to win the ball and flood forward, the other is going slow and cant hit a target.

[cwrcyn]

Nothing changes with Dunstan. Always been a terrible kick and fumbles below his knees far to much for a mid.

[Ghost Like]

Dunstan hasn't found the pace of the game yet.

Dunstan and pace have never been bed fellows.

[B.M]

Some players playing incredibly well
Steele, Clark, Crouch, Wilkie

Some are poor

That is the difference

Or in the 2s next week...

[B.M]

Is Howard playing on Lynch or on his own??

[The_Dud]

Tigers basically just sit off and wait for us to turn it over, then just waltz down the field...
