Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 13 2023

[TheGreatZacsby]

Max, no marks in the forward 50, Caminiti the same, in fact has anyone taken a mark in our forward 50?

It’s because Sydney are flooding. We need to move quicker when we go forward to make the one on ones and king and Caminiti can work their magic.

[The Fireman]

4 goals at half time….
Anyone else tired of this crap?
Week after week.

I’m annoyed

[MC Gusto]

Can’t blame the umps tonight boys and girls

[Rubyjo]

F***

If we could just win that ball at the centre bounce

[TheGreatZacsby]

Byrnes please no more of this bloke.

I agree. He’s a hack. Can’t play AFL. I hope we go after a winger in the draft or get miles Bergman and move NWM back to wing.

[The Fireman]

Yeah? Just wait for Curly

[Teflon]

Only 9 points in it, need to stop getting smashed around the clearances.

Yep
This is the game and where we’ll win or lose it.
It feels like ALL our mids get sucked into the contest
Then it’s flicked out we have no one on outside ??
I’m wrapt Lyon swung Pou in defence- a good move
Higgins out there????
Is Sharman an option ??

Wont matter I spose if you don’t win the ball in contest

We do win it. When Gresham is there. When he’s not there it comes out easily for Sydney. He’s a good ball drop reader.

[Otiman]

Need to hit the gym. We hit the running track too hard in preseason.

Body on body we lose most contests. Their mids get too much separation on us and get the ball in clear space.

[Teflon]

Wow did you hear those outside clearance contest numbers ?
Ross Steele Crouch our experienced mids absolutely **** all 0 or 1 ????
Where are our experienced mids???
We have neglected drafting A grade mids for a decade it’s now coming home to roost
These guys right now are not up to it - Swabs missing 2 of their best mids??????? WTF

[santazzi]

How is Windhager going?

[Banger9798]

Something wrong with Steele
Back to Back All Australian seems like a distant dream

[Teflon]

How is Windhager going?

He’s been ok but he’s a kid
Muppets on here last week saying we’d have beaten Hawks if he played just ridiculous
Hawks mids smashed us
Port mids smashed us
It’s midfield is the issue

[Toy Saint]

Watching this reminds me of 2007 when Ross Lyon first coached St Kilda.

And they reckon a Leopard never changes his spots....

[Otiman]

Steele hasn't been the same since the collarbone.

8 touches in a half is unlike him.

[Annoyedsaint]

Crouch the only one earning his pay.
The rest of the midfield is disgusting.

Seriously, 7-10 disposals in a half consistently in today’s possession game.

It’s going on too long now. I’ve held off as long as I can, but if you aren’t winning then time to drop underperforming players.

[Banger9798]

Windy going OK, certainly hard at it.

Huge second half for these boys.

Need to get fired up in the contests

[Teflon]

Oh FFS
It’s Lyons fault these turkeys can’t win a contested ball ????
Really?
I mean really??

[santazzi]

Thanks Teflon.

[Rubyjo]

No forward presence ..no mid presence ...no gee up at half time will get it done ..

[Teflon]

Crouch the only one earning his pay.

Absolutely
Just forget about finals could not care less
Someone find us a midfield
We won’t contend EVER till we fix that

[BadRossco]

Having a go but the gap in skills is very obvious

[The Fireman]

Crouch the only one earning his pay.

Crouches decision making when has the ball is a worry

[Devilhead]

It's patently obvious that our midfield is too slow and plain

We are still in it .... just
