Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 12 2017

[Proph3t of egan]

We need 2 or 3 more Sinclairs

I feel like O'kearney has a bit of skill from what I've seen

[Joffa Burns]

We were poor but the umpires were heavily biased -some of the " blocks" were ridiculous

Yep, the umpires are cheats and their cheating against St Kilda is sanctioned by the AFL you know.

[lintonstreet]

Thats not a fcuking block!!!!!!!!!!l

Yes it was. Take your St Kilda goggles off.

softest technical block ive ever seen paid

[mullet]

We were poor but the umpires were heavily biased -some of the " blocks" were ridiculous

Never seen so many blocks paid in a game.

Joffa Burns and Dud Please read this as the umpires cost us the game

[magnifisaint]

Wright not good enough. Gresham has to be dropped. Does nothing. Glad Webster came back in. He knows how to play footy...very well!

[Con Gorozidis]

Last 3 games:

Result - Margin
Loss - 50 (H)
Loss - 40 (H)
Loss - 57 (A)

The coach is under serious pressure now.
Questions need to be asked.

Absolutely cannot blame it on the coach. St Kilda has been doing that for the last 100 years

True.

[longtimesaint]

We need more top end talent -take our two first rounders to the draft

[shrodes]

We need 2 or 3 more Sinclairs

what? and have two or three more players passing at 66%, kicking 0.2, and laying 1 tackle?

Surprised to see his DE so low, probably caught out by too many dodgy handballs like the rest of the team, due to game plan.
Otherwise, smart and composed, particularly in traffic, unlike half his teammates.

[lintonstreet]

Im waiting for everyone to call for mav to be dropped - he topped the tackle count and busted his gut but I clearly see him differently

Yep, bloody cheating umpires.
Cost us the game!

Sorry Mullet, just mischievous shlt stirring after watching this very frustrating game

The umps might have cost us 2 goals, the carry on about them here has been ridiculous. It also defers the blame from the true reason we are playing so bad, which is not constructive at all.

[loris]

Yes Sinclair Good, Gilbert good, Steven had a crack in the second qtr and Koby is beating Fyfe

That's it

So looks like Fyfe won't be coming to the Saints, he's decided to play with Adelaide now

Koby's done a good job keeping Sloane & Fyfe quiet tonight

[Con Gorozidis]

Wright not good enough. Gresham has to be dropped. Does nothing. Glad Webster came back in. He knows how to play footy...very well!

Agree. Webster one of a handful who are actually up to it.

What an embarrassing effort by our team and coach. I know a lot of people think Billy Longer is better than Hickey but I just don't get it. Every ruckman Longer plays against is always nearly best on ground and has a huge influence on the game. At least Hickey gets possessions, takes marks and is a threat around the ground. Very disappointed in the effort. Richo keeps saying we don't focus on the opposition if we execute our game plan we will be fine. Well If that's the case he needs a new game plan because the current one is not going to win any games.

[The Fireman]

Bruce and Geary can hold their head up.. besides that not much else

Geary? Really?
Has been a nervous fumbling mess.

again Con...you have no idea.

True.

Keep sacking coaches doesn't fix the problem.

He stays in. Is in our best 22 clearly. But he still a bog average AFL player.

[Spud]

How was that not 50? Man already on the mark, Sloane comes in halfway between them, umpire says "the mark is back here". Protected zone, running over the mark, take your pick.

Yeah, saw that couldn't believe it.

Cant argue with that.
Tonight our game plan was a real worry though.

again Con...you have no idea.

I think I have some idea.
He was poor tonight.
When he plays well I call it. When he plays poorly I call it. Tonight wasnt a good game for him. You are dreaming if you think it was.

[The Fireman]

I think we will all agree that after the Sydney game we knew where we were at. Time to build something now for 2018. We are so far behind some of the good sides but there really is something to work with.

I think you think you have more idea than you actually do.

[seano1]

He did alright on betts

see this is where you fall down Con, you made the call that he was a nervous bumbling mess when he clearly wasn't and then you suggest that I think he had a good game. Like the Saints you are not having a good night

[nw7]

I don't think we should change our coach, but I do think our coach has been really outcoached in the last few weeks and needs to have a few tricks of his own, it seems like we go into every game the same, we move the ball the same way which enables us to kick 2 goals in a half of footy. Other clubs have figured us out and we need to to something.
