Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 15 2022

[asiu]

Lack of system has Swans confused

lol

Muriel.

[sendmehomehappy]

Just waiting for the 5 minute 3rd quarter boost to suck us all in, and then break our hearts.

[meher baba]

FFS. It’s not over yet. And why knock Howard or Paton: our defence has kept us in the game.

BTW, I reckon Clark has done some good things, even though he still looks a little rusty. Sinclair has been outstanding.

[bangaulegend]

Only half time & we are still in touch if we can actually get some sort of game plan together who knows but I know what everyone is saying same ol same ol

[Rubyjo]

Saints 3rd quarter specialists ...game on
Inshallah

[Teflon]

I’ve always liked Ratts but surely we’re not going to sign him up before the end of the season? This is absolute horse s***

He’s a nice guy
Not a senior coach
But we are a weak organisation who can’t make tough calls
Won’t even entertain Clarkson …..cause he’s no good right ?? Won’t even talk to him cause “Ratts is our long term man” we sare told
3 years in now watching this Shyte and taking members money surely this Board (if the consign is to more years of this) must go
**** deplorable

[The Fireman]

Given the massive discrepancy in frees and the many entries into their forward 50, I reckon we’ve managed a terrific defensive effort to keep them to 4-6 at halftime.

This. Effort is there but the system isn’t


We are being beaten atm by a slicker team , they spread when needed and are cleaner with their disposals under pressure Hard to know how to fix this What does Ratten do now ?
I’d hate to be in position right now… Sydney are a better side it will take a monumental effort to win this.
Surprise us saints

Your thinking like GT

[MC Gusto]

I reckon we burn em 6 goals to 2 in the throes but fade in the 4th

FFS it’s not about the score it’s about THE WAY we are playing
Can you not see we have zero method, structure, approach???
Is it that hard ???
Geezus paper over cracks like we always do “gee we are doing ok cause we are still close”
We did that against Lions - we got LUCKY they should’ve blown us off the park
We’ve been ordinary for a month

Agreed

6 goals to 2 in the 3rd

[The Fireman]

Popping the champagne as we speak

Ever since the Matt Finnis appointment, St. Kilda are just the team that is at best, run by nice men.

[Devilhead]

I ain't the biggest fan of Ratten but the players have to take some responsibility for their game play and movement

Seems to me we are lacking a bit of all round leadership in that there is disconnect on the field

We are still in it though

[The_Dud]

Quick break out of the centre, another rubbish inside 50…

[Teflon]

And again they lead up at the ball
Mark …goal
We bomb

[saintkid]

For years we have been crying for a gun, tough midfielder to help Steele. There were a number of options but a certain banana administrator decided to throw the cheque book and an incomprehensible 5 year contract on a cooked player in the later part of his career.
I know I harp on this BUT well-run, successful clubs don't do that. Herein lies the failure of this club to get ahead with long-term damaging decision such as the Hannebery signing.
Additionally, it's like a cancer across the list when young players need to be guided and inspired on-field by such players, yet see him week in week out, for several years now, doing rehab!

[Yorkeys]

Isn't NWM a nice player.

Looked genuinely surprised at Papley's aggression. Needs a mentor to explain things to him.

[Bruce G McAbee]

By the way, in 9 quarters of football, Max has managed 1 goal.
Maybe he needs to go back to Sandringham.

[SaintPav]

Paying those again are they?!

Yeah it’s like we are happy to be a good corporate citizen

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Superior fitness the only reason we won a few in the first half.

No longer a factor.

Back to mediocrity.

[SunnyErnie]

I'm done. I will not give this f***ed up organisation my money again until they grow a brain

[The_Dud]

There are some very poor efforts going on out there…
