Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 15 2017
Basically, Carlise and Lonie having a good crack at it- Richo no idea how to coach. Midfield pathetic. Jack Steven must be on the on the bus to Sandy can't believe he is is a shadow of the player he was. Acres probably would have been OK today. These guys don't seem to know what they are supposed to do.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 15 2017
We need to have a better ruck than Longer as he does nothing after the hit out.
Watching the VFL where Hickey was taking marks and he kicked a nice goal.
I think it's time to give Hickey another chance.

Had a bunch of very quiet players in the first half, hopefully they can turn it around in the second!

Steven being tagged by Suban, he's never been very good at breaking tags. Should plonk him forward like in the North game and watch the goals flowspert wrote:Basically, Carlise and Lonie having a good crack at it- Richo no idea how to coach. Midfield pathetic.

Has Roberton been found out by opposition coaches? Hasn't been up to the same standard of his first couple of months

I haven't seen Mav Weller do much and maybe Acres would have been better on the big ground.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 15 2017
Longer has taken more marks today than for the whole season combined before today.
Also one more mark than Rooey 4-3. Rooey needs 9 marks to break the record but only the 3 to half time.
We really need someone better than Lonie in that small forward position.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 15 2017
WRT the coaching, slam it forward is the method. Some players are marginal at best. Dunstan very average midfielder with one great move forward. Lonie not strong. Even billings looked scared to kick for goal, the opposition look confident in front. Definitely something poor with our coaching
This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 15 2017
yep let's give hickey another chance. He had two bad games and got consigned to Sandringham for 4 months as punishment after being in Aa discussions last year.

We're such an average team with an average coach. Something needs to change.

We need a goal kicking coach as we can't kick from dead in front

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 15 2017
Can"t see a spot for Lonie if he won't back hImself to take a shot. As a small forward his role is to take shots. Also Gresham should have set sail then instead of handing off to Riewoldt.
