A well coached team

Post: # 1688875Post StNoodles »

A well coached team does not lose a football match when up by 10'points with 3 minutes to go in the wet.

A well coached team doesn't kick 3.12. to 3/4 time


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

But a well coached team can kick 5.1 in the final quarter when it counts. the boys tried their guts out today.
Was a perfect tap, and a class goal that killed us.

A well coached team does not go at 28% Inside 50 Efficiency.


It's just mind numbing how idiotic this strategy is.

We shouldn't have been in that position. We should have kicked straight. But let's face it, our team hasn't been in that position. We either win well or lose by a street. Do you think those last 2 goals would have happened with Roo and Monty in? Lack of experience in those last minutes; nothing the coach could do IMO


Always loyal

Every week the same stuff on here.
The opposition was great and it was an honourable loss.
News flash. This is the AFL. Not some under 12s league.
The opposition is always good. There are no honourable losses.

A perfect tap and a class goal that a well coached team would not have permitted

this. Even the commentators pointed it out. Our forward line is dysfunctional. No one is leading. Hamill needs to go.

That was simply awful. What a hard club to support. They kick away another game and in doing so finals.

How do we not man up on Gray at the end? He's the one guy that can do what he did. Obvious. Embarrassing.

Unfortunately we have the lowest football IQ as a team in the comp. I am not sure who is to blame for that but Richo might need to have a good think about things. How many times can a side kick the ball to the same spot? Such a disappointing way to lose....just when you think they can't make it any worse they do.

Match committee has a lot to answer for as usual.

Why in God's name is Lonie still the side? And Weller?

Two kicks up with two minutes on the clock and the umpires were doing everything in their power to help us over the line. Says it all.

Players have got to get smarter - it was obvious their only way out was out the back at that last ruck contest - we should have had two players there to stop that Gray play

Hell of a tap to a hell of a player - but it should never been allowed to happen - the room out the back of that contest was criminal

Both consistently terrible.
Although you can't criticise Weller on here. He is as good as Leigh Matthews according to some. Anyone who criticises him has no idea about footy.

I f@#king hate honourable losses.
In the last few minutes lacked on-field smarts, they shouldn't have needed the coach to tell them that.
I know we are not a top 4 team yet, we do lack midfield class.
We had a good old crack today, the players knew this was our last chance.
We are showing great signs at times, still rebuilding and on an upward trend.
To me 2018 was our year to make finals.

I do think our coach is the man for the job.

I am a frustrated Sainter too, OUR TIME IS COMING!!

The team plays according to what the coach and assistants lay down to them- unfortunately it is a big mess, and those guys can play better footy than they are showing..a wasted year. Don't expect much to change under this plodder of a coach.

Stevens was a huge out though
