Saints v Gold Coast match thread

[GSG]

What pisses most off is that the smug media are right again! We suck interstate.

[SydneySainter]

Forward line is ordinary.

Membrey non existent.

Bruce non existent, and he's soooooooooooooooooooooooo slow.

Roo can't kick straight.

Where are the crumbers ?

Hard to crumb when their defenders keep taking uncontested marks.

[sunsaint]

Time somebody told them there is a difference between an interstate game and the end of season trip.

I think they have been told this IS their end of season trip

[Bluthy]

We rely so much on Steven. Been well held. This is where we need Ross, Newnes Dunstan and Acres to really step up and take more on their shoulders - can't keep leaving the heavy lifting to Steven and Armo. Hickey down from previous high standard - need a huge lift from him.

[Wrote for Luck]

Crumbers are the only ones kicking the goals!

[Griggsy]

f*** me, looked at the stats, 10 suns players have more disposals than our top disposal player.

[desertsaint]

The third game curse. But a while half to play. Lads need to arrest the trend.
Paddy is a worry though.

[cwrcyn]

We get exposed by teams with leg speed. And the fact half the team can't hit a target

[Johnny Member]

Membrey is a bit soft mentally.

Chronic lack of talent across the board.

When the structure and system falls down, we simply don't have the talent to make something happen.

[samuraisaint]

Predicted this would happen to be honest. They have been gradually getting back to having their best side in, we are three key defenders down and they have some serious power forwards who haven't had opportunities for three months. They've lost ten in a row, which rarely happens these days, and we have started slowly in our last couple of games interstate showing little resistance in those matches. Eade would have targeted this game as the one to get them started in the second half of the year, as after us they have winnable games coming up at home against Brisbane and Fremantle.
Their senior players would have been put on notice this week - stand up or else. It is pretty hard to beat a side with some seriously talented forwards when you have a depleted back line. We have beaten all of our fellow foundation teams this year so I can afford to be a bit philosophical about this one.
But, gee that Callum Ah Chee is really having a day out - was he a rookie?

[Tom_Sainter]

Second half started worse than the first.. we are cooked

[Johnny Member]

Gotta go small in the forward line.


Riewodlt needs to go up the ground.

[Bluthy]

It was better because they took it on at half back and took some risks moving it quickly. need more of that.

[Tom_Sainter]

lol... finally score then concede one 8 seconds later

[bigred]

Absolutely inexcusable.

[Bluthy]

Jeez we look flat as a tack. Cannot let this be a blow out. Dig frickin deep.

[shrodes]

lol... finally score then concede one 8 seconds later

And another 10 seconds later

[ROLS-LEE]

Not enough pressure on them. They are carving us up with their disposal. Need to go man on man. If we keep protecting space we are going to smash us.

[Bluthy]

They are carving us up from the back and through the middle like a christmas turkey

[shrodes]

Lee gone from back to ruck to forward... let's hope he can lock down a position finally

[Johnny Member]

....and FFS can Tom Lee do something about that hairstyle? Christ.

Feel like I'm watching The Golden Girls each time he goes near it.

[mullet]

11 more scoring shots makes me sick

very disppointed and not prepared to accept this crap

[whiskers3614]

Where is our supposed elite midfielder Armitage?

[shrodes]

....and FFS can Tom Lee do something about that hairstyle? Christ.

Feel like I'm watching The Golden Girls each time he goes near it.

Roberton's new look is way worse

[8856brother]

Eagles and Crows are good sides. Suns are coming off 10 loses in a row and an interstate 6 day break. Don't underestimate how poor a performance this is.

They should be 12 goals up atm.
