We did do this a lot last year as well. Try and shut down games, and it backfires when opposition teams just run through us.

We don't get far enough in front to crush opposition teams spirits. We tease them and dangle a lure in from of them, sometimes they take the lure and hit the front.

We should stop f****** around and try to bury teams mercilessly.

In my opinion

Our game plan at times makes soccer look more attacking.

embarassing, comical, and gobsmacking really - i just saw hugh jackman litter and then dance it off? no movie contracts this year?

hmmmm not good. you can tell were switched on and want to win. the worrying thing is we look like a slower side trying to play like we did in 2009. we just dont seem to be able to run like other sides.

gilbert is mentally done. the players are really rallying behind him though to try and support him through his poor form. he's not going to gws. he's just done. back to the vfl i think.

smith is looking great!!!! the amount of times he has put his body on the line so far has been outstanding. steven needs to take notes from smith.

montagna is doing a gram rounds 1-3

stanley is doing well.

defencive coach needs to sack. also teach them how to tackle like they did in 2009.

We used to laugh at the opposition when they went backwards..just took the ball off them....we should know not to fall into this trap

Can someone please let Gram know it is a contact sport. He is as sift as butter.

ralphsmith · Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:30pm

Yes, these commentators are saying Gilbert is mentally finished.

God Gilbert was fantastic not long ago. He really needs to find a way out the mud.

lurker#134 · Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:31pm

I'm glad we have Schnider back at the very least.

finished? he's out of form. he'll get back into form, but let's hope it's sooner rather than later.

bergholt · Post: # 1063432Post **bergholt** » Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:34pm

the way steven's body moves makes him look like he's about eight feet tall. he's not exactly agile.

ralphsmith · Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:39pm

Stalemate now.

Need a goal badly.

COME ON SAINTS ATTACK.

bergholt · Post: # 1063437Post **bergholt** » Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:40pm

as leigh said, we're not winning the contests at this point.

rymax · Post: # 1063439Post **rymax** » Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:41pm

Everytime we get the ball we seem to handball round in circles before inevitably turning it over.

ralphsmith · Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:42pm

And they also said, we don't have enough players who can take the game on. Baker for example, is totally incapable of doing anything involved with scoring goals.

Can't dash down the ground, can't bounce the ball and run.

This is a major problem for us.

True Blue Sainter · Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:42pm

WTF was that free kick and 50 for?

lurker#134 · Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:42pm

This is f****d, we can't play finals if we keep this up. I rate Adelaide higher than this mob.

i reckon the free was there, the 50 looked pretty dubious.

trying hard to stay positive but this is terrible

luckily brissie are playing about as well as they can, and we've got a shedload of improvement in the locker.

True Blue Sainter · Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:48pm

What happened to the team of the last 2 years?

Are we tanking?

SirDog · Post: # 1063455Post **SirDog** » Thu 21 Apr 2011 9:48pm

We haven't scored a point or goal since 22 minute mark of first quarter, its over midway through the second. This is appalling. They have kicked three goals and now we are behind. What is happening to our club?
