2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
Meanwhile back in Aus...
Hanners got 25 touches in 3 quarters of footy.
King kicked 3.3.
It's a tad early, but get them in for the Suns game in 2 weeks time. If not the Suns, then the week after. We need a lift big time.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
King should not play while Cho is in charge. Being continually smashed while the ball is repeatedly bombed in long on top of his head will only spell disaster.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
The only positive I can draw from today's game was that I elected not to go, and therefore did not have to sit through the garbage we dished up, yet again, live.
For the love of God, when are we going to do the glaringly obvious as a club, and pull the plug on the Cho???
My cat could coach more successfully......

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
I agree. 'Shanghai Sunday' could possibly have some positives....IF the club assesses our realistic chances of making the 8 and considering all the injuries to key players, also realistically assesses our chances of competing in finals even if we get there.
1. We are only a very slim chance of sneaking in to the top 8, AND therefore the footy department should conclude (or at least need to be persuaded by the CEO and the board) that it's wiser to start planning for 2020 and beyond. Give all younger blokes more opportunities and more seniors experience.
2. We are one step closer to the day that a decision is made on the future head coach

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
What garbage Dud. Put your Richo bias aside for a second. If we aren't getting into the finals this year then King needs senior game time to help with season 2020. Same as some other kids.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
We have 5 wins and a percentage of 85.6tedtheodorelogan2018 wrote: ↑Sun 02 Jun 2019 8:40pmWe are still in the finals race for now.

We can't kick more than 10 goals a game.
We are one game and 25 percent behind 8th.
We've beaten GC by a point, Essendon, Melbourne, Hawthorn, and Carlton.
We need to win 13 games with our percentage. That means 8 out the next 11.
We are still to play Geelong, Richmond, Brisbane, and Adelaide. We won't win any of those. Even if we win all of our other games, it's not enough.
If we don't beat GC next week, it's over. And I don't see us doing that in Townsville. Especially with the current set-up.
Our best bet is to do a North and swap coaches to make the senior assistant the senior coach. That's Brett Ratten, who had a pretty good record with Carlton and was involved in three flags at Hawthorn.
We need to make this change and make it now. So we have the bye round to settle things down.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
Disagree, footy is a funny game but if the season ends early then I still think Alan should still see out the season - whether they intend to sack him or not already.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
We are in fact two games out of the 8 because of our poor percentage. We have a poor percentage because we don't score and we don't score because of this excuse of a game plan we have.
I agree, if King is to play this year, it can't be with this game plan or coach.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
In the finals race?; 25 lengths off the pace 4 wide and going further behind leaders. Yes in the race, technically. Jockey looks decidedly wobbly at the turn.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
I think putting a 18/19 year old bean pole into our forward line to cop the same smashing Bruce and Membrey take every week is crazy.tedtheodorelogan2018 wrote: ↑Sun 02 Jun 2019 8:31pmWhat garbage Dud.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
How anyone can say there were any positives that came from the Shanghai Stuffup is beyond me.
A foray of this nature is just ridiculous, its so stupid its beyond belief. A bit like the OP.

Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

There were only 3 positives from Shangers.
1. We made lots of money
2. Rowan Marshall
3. We don't have to go there again for 12 months
Time to forget Shanghai now and be ready for Townsville in 2 weeks. At least we will be used to the heat.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
25 touches in 3 quarters in your first real game of footy for a long time is very good news for St Kilda.
King just looks the goods. When he puts 5-10 kg of muscle on, he’ll be amazing.

Re: 2 positives from Shanghai Sunday
We are only one game out of the 8. We will pick up the points against the GC.
Hanners probably plays the week after.
Jimmie comes back.
Jake probably the week after that.
Lonie probably the week after that.
We finish the year off with a good run home and hit the pre season with a good feel.
