Match thread Saints v Dogs

[The_Dud]

I think the simplest way to put it is we’re a club that’s all too happy to accept mediocrity and afraid to demand excellence.

That's a cop out. Who is doing this? Which people, and what have they said or done to suggest it?

We put our stars up on a pedestal (whether they deserve it or not) and refuse to look at them objectively, players run around week after week knowing they’re untouchable, refusing to make hard calls for fear of media and fan (who are also conditioned to accept mediocrity) backlash, low training standards and everyone’s happy to have a laugh…

And so on and so forth

Who's "we"? Name names.

President, Board, executives, coaches…

Gresham and Billings were told to look elsewhere.

Ratten was shown the door.

I think they are trying but it’s obviously not good enough.

[Otiman]

Do the saints have to come out for the last qrt?

They didn't come out for the first, so no real difference.

May 2021 Bulldogs 144 Saints 33, have just over a quarter to kick 3 points!
and avoid them kicking another six goals.

[The Fireman]

Bulldogs lead by 77 points with 3 mins left in the 3rd.

Might be a 100 point slaughter by the end of the non contest.

i’ve missed those old hundred point drubbings.

[Vortex]

This is the most talentless list we've had since 2012

[bobmurray]

We got a goal.

Anyone cheering ?

[SaintPav]

Our percentage is f***ed.

Is this really happening? Not one Saint is worthy of a mention. The rabble bulldog players like Lobb, Naughton look like superstars. Something is wrong internally at our club.

Hill has been OK.

[bobmurray]

Caminiti has a shot around the corner and missed.

[Otiman]

We are too scared to bump and take body.

The tribunal has us spooked.

[The_Dud]

Caminiti misses another sitter from 15m out, be sure to pick him again next week!

[Saintmatt]

At game and my view is
Can’t win a clearance regardless of where Marshall hits it
Cooper keeps getting moved form one position to another. Pick one rtb and stick with it
Way too many handballs not enough kicks
Sinclair is Samson. Haircut ruined his form
Skill below afl standard
Bourbon way to expensive at marvel

Must be terrible to be there.

It’s truly horrific. This is absolutely putrid … I mean Richo era bad.

Umps have been awful but we’ve been way worse. No intensity; no effort; no vigour. So poor; so St Kilda

Bassats going to need a longer letter

Naughton is a hell of a lot better player than Caminiti, Membery and Sharman combined.

The Dullbogs for the premiership

I think they think they’re trying!

3/4 time. Frees 16 to 6. Effing joke.

Almost as bad as 20-9 last week…

With those guys we'd be another 30 points down. They are duds.

[WellardSaint]

The club should NOT ask us on Twitter/X to vote on the 'Sainter of the Day'.

That's like awarding a prize to a child for just turning up

Thursday night footy is such a just for tv thing

Not wrong. A wet evening in Melbourne = CBF going . The crowd looked 25K-ish. Was seriously about 12-16k after half time. The joint is lifeless. Like our pox team.

[Ajantis]

ffs lyon stop fking around and drop players who do fk all.
Phillipou
Higgins
Butler
Wilson
Jones
Cordy
Boner
You know st.kilda will lose regardless but at least the sandy players who get a chance to run will out more effort.

[The Fireman]

This game will hurt the club in a lot of ways
