Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 21 2022

[Teflon]

You have got to love that from Butler.

Hate it.

He needs to stop trying to be a smarta** and worry about kicking bloody goals

Me too
Cheap party tricks
Get a goal Dan being front n centre instead cheap n easy out back
Higgins been ordinary tonight too

[The_Dud]

Hannerbry having a somewhat predictable comedown after last week

[1966]

To think we resigned Ratten only weeks ago and are going to have to put up with this crap for the next couple of years.

[DJ Higgins]

don't forget cats are a fantastic team. We are unlikely to win but i was expecting a lot worse

[B.M]

Probably more to do with what happened in q3 not at half time

[nobhead]

1 more qtr to go keep watching it will get worse

[Devilhead]

Just poor all round

[Teflon]

Yep
2 more years of can’t transition the ball
Shiitehouse forward line set up
I actually think we have a decent forward line mix they just are crying out for a smart tactical plan to help them work together
Blame the Board - they’re-signed Ratten long before the Carlton game instead of saying let’s see how back end of the season goes Brett
Weak as pus

[1966]

Embarrassing that Geelong rest Selwood, Blicavs and Dangerfield and still flog us.
Shows how we are viewed by other teams.
Something has to change.

[Jacks Back]

Dan's off again FFS - Subbed off

Aim as high as the club it seems

[Teflon]

Hanners injured …

[bangaulegend]

During the break during the quarter who knows

[SaintJohno]

Oh well, 1 and 3/4 games this year from Hannas is an expected return.

[SaintPav]

Crouch has had a shocker.

His had a bad few months actually

[The_Dud]

Hanners injured …

What can u say?

[seano1]

Maybe trade the once in a generation forward for 2 top 10 picks and 2 second round picks and we’ll throw in a set of steak knifes that we’ve taken out of leathers back

[st.byron]

Oh well, 1 and 3/4 games this year from Hannas is an expected return.

Good value at $600k p.a.

[Ghost Like]

Hanners missed 19 games during his career at Sydney. He played 17 games in his career at St Kilda.

WOW!!!

[1966]

Hanners injured …

Should pack his locker tonight.
He is cooked.
Was cooked 4 years ago.

[The Fireman]

Getting painful to watch

[The_Dud]

Crouch has had a shocker.

Top ranked player on the ground…

[Teflon]

Fired our shot
Played our 1 good quarter
Gone home early
About sums up last 6/7 weeks of this diabolical year
Pretenders

Look how Geelong move the ball down the ground, then look at us.

Look how Geelong deliver the ball inside 50, then look at us.

Ratts should take note.

Exactly but I'm not sure anymore whether our coach 'gets it'. Week after week we play the complete opposite.
Went to the Melb and Pies game last night with family friends and honestly we are a rabble in the way our team has developed.
The worst part is, a few years back, we actually were ahead of these two teams.

Really?? Melbourne played off in a prelim in 2019. Collingwood narrowly lost a Grand Final in 2018. How we were ahead??

Scollop, we were beating both these teams when Richardson was coach.

Your point about Melbourne playing off in a prelim in 2019, Collingwood narrowly losing the GF in 2018 and of course Melb winning the GF in 2021, with Collingwood now a good chance to win it again in 2022, just magnifies how pathetic we have been in building a list/team to challenge for a flag, since our 2010 GF loss.
We have been in footy wilderness, so to speak, for 12 years now.

If there is ever a time for this under achieving club to finally stand up and partially salvage another disappointing season, it's tonight!

You lost me when you mentioned Richardson

Big deal if we beat them in h&a. We also beat Richmond by a record score in 2017

Richardson was ONLY a reference to those years from 2013 when he was coach. Nothing to do with his inept coaching. Surely you understood that?
I'm making the point that there WAS a period that we actually were beating Melb and the Pies. Our list has gone nowhere since, in terms of challenging for a GF.

We are still a rabble. Both coaches and our football department have not progressed this club where it counts, in a decade of football.

Tonight is a further example of how far off the club continues to be.

Hanners missed 19 games during his career at Sydney. He played 17 games in his career at St Kilda.

WOW!!!

Gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em
