Match Thread Saints v giants Round 7 2019

[Jacks Back]

Acres is wasted inside the 50, get him in the centre

[mullet]

Lets write the script now. GWS put cue in rack and we come close and we drink our own bathwater thinking how close we came. I am disgusted with Richo dropping Brown (cant you tell) and for playing bruce last week. These boys were just starting to believe and he pulls shite like that. Didnt he promise Jack Steven we werent rebuilding to keep him here.

The positive is that it’s another nail the coaches coffin.

But is it??? I was prepared to back the club for getting people around richo. But I think its time to eff him off. That may give us another win, the old sacked coach theory

I’m ok with that now. I was up for giving the Cho a go until he admitted to recklessly playing an injured Bruce last week. Yes, we’re missing good players but our skills haven’t improved AT ALL under his entire watch (& development is supposed to be his strong suit)

Bye Cho

couldnt agree more

[Scollop]

Kent & Gresham with their selfishness because of very poor games cost us badly. So much for team fellas.

If it's ok for Ross to be wasting it with kicks to no one i50 then it's ok for everyone else.

He has to better. Don't play U15's footy Seb. You must create some urgency and at least try to break the lines rather than this cruise mode laziness. Take the hit. Hold on to the footy. Talk. Direct your team mates and get them motivated

You are the acting captain Seb

Cho takes Brown out of the team and we are lacking leaders while Armo is wasted in the magoos

[The_Dud]

Does Richo know you can develop a gameplan where you kick the ball out in front of the forwards and not on top of their heads EVERY SINGLE TIME?

[The_President]

Hunter Clark is reaaaaaally slow.

Does anyone know what his outstanding traits were in the TAC Cup?

Probably comes from a good family...

[The_President]

Currently have eight players with less than 10 touches including:
Acres
Sinclair
Webster
Clark
Bruce
Long

Jesus.

He’s a very good player with ... horribly poor senior players to lead and guide him. And a Dribbler of a coach with zero idea of how to lead and motivate himself.

Don’t blame a 19yo FFS

I’m not blaming anyone, just highlighting that from what I’ve seen so far he looks realllllllllly slow

[Jacks Back]

Clark is weak

[Scollop]

Kent has gone 30% DE by foot today. Gresham in the 20's, Ross in the 40's.

Meanwhile Zach Williams is going at 76%

[degruch]

Kent used to be a great kick at the Dees...can't kick the side of a barn at the Saints. We'd be in business if he had 5.0 instead of 1.4. I really hoped we were past this in 2019.

Richo’s killed plenty of a young career, what’s one more?!?

[Greg T]

Skills are just deplorable,another 2018 on us

[degruch]

I've gotta say...Brown normally does a decent job on Cameron. Why was he dropped?

[fugazi]

Can anyone explain why our fullback isnt bashing into Camerons dodgy shoulder every chance he gets?
Has that gone out of the game?

[Scollop]

We don't need more senior leaders working part time. I doubt if we got Tony Lockett, Jason Dunstall, David Parkin, Paul Ross and Leigh Matthews on board that it would matter

We have Billy Slater, Dermot Brereton, Brett Ratten, Brendan Lade and Ben Dixon working at the club but there's only one problem.

His name is not Robert Poulson

[The_Dud]

I've gotta say...Brown normally does a decent job on Cameron. Why was he dropped?

Because Cho.

[degruch]

Because Cho.

Another unilateral decision? Worked well with Bruce last week. Looking at his numbers, I'd say he hasn't healed up as well as Cho supposes.

[Greg T]

Anther amazing presser coming,not

[degruch]

Decent thumping from a team we usually match up well against.

[older saint]

I am so sick of this bombing inside 50 crap . Year after year after year. IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!
Feel so sorry for the forwards .

Lower the eyes change direction.
Changed game plan out of defence from last year which is working but from half way forward same s*** as before. Against Melbourne we changed direction , last 2 weeks we have stayed the same side and bomb into the 50 for turnover .

[kosifantutti]

Half this game was filmed from an office tower 2 blocks away.

[Scollop]

One change needed for next week. Drop Cho.

Let's hope Billings and Gresham don't end up dropping Cho

If we do as Cairnsman and others want the club to do (and not make a change until the end of the year) it will have consequences

[fugazi]

We were right in that game until the Parker miss.
Terrible inside 50 accuracy and wasteful conversion as usual.
We flattered them with that scoreline.
Acres needs to be played on the ball. He is a really good user and creative.
