Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
He’s just too quick to kick or dispose. Doesn’t possess the silk or speed you need to break through contests and create great moments. I admire his second efforts and he always tries his guts out, but he just hasn’t got what it takes to make it at this level. We need to stop giving him games.seano1 wrote: ↑Fri 26 Apr 2024 11:05pm Geez some of you are a bit harsh on Byrnes ….a lot of the time tonight he has gotten a s*** handball from one of ours when he’s got nowhere to go and it’s a quick kick to move it on or give away a free . The whole side are s*** kickers poor handballers and then on top of that poor thinkers

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
Angus Hastie needs to be in the starting lineup next week, the kid shows plenty - 8 disposals in a quarter of footy and looked very good.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
Grow a pair Saints and do a please explain to the AFL.
Disappointed with the loss, but reasonably happy with the performance, yeah there were some clangers, but there was also some bad luck where the ball just wouldn't sit for us, typical St.Kilda luck.
If we play like this next week with the inclusion of King, Webster and maybe Dow and Wood we should beat North comfortably.

Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Tackling is one of the biggest worries for me, -50 the last two weeks!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
18 more frees will lead to more inside 50’s more shots at goal.
How was the free against Howard 15 out.
May as well have just declared we are cheats

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
I'm sorry . Saints wont win a game in serial killer city until there is a level playing field and the maggots give both teams the same treatment... 25 free kicks to 9 is not a fair go or a fair reflection of the game.
Taylor said that Port had received over 400 more free kicks than opposition sides in Adelaide over the past 10 years.
The AFL needs to look into this but of course they wont

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
We didn’t have many possession getters across the board.
Wilson 21
Steele 15
Ross and Hill 14

Teams are always going to lose close ones with the home town umpiring we saw tonight.The Fireman wrote: ↑Fri 26 Apr 2024 11:14pm Blaming the umpiring is a weak as piss cop out.
some teams win the close ones unfortunately for us, we lose the close ones.
The Hawthorn team of the 1980s would have struggled to overcome it.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
Positives tonight were Wilkie, Wilson, Nas, Sinclair, Marshall, Byrnes & Higgins. Hastie showed signs.
Negatives UMPIRING , Membrey (shocker), Sharman (again), Bonner is not up to game physically, Howard shocking faaarked everything he went near, Battle terrible, Phillipou (needs a rest in the VFL), turn overs in defence.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
Disgraceful, insipid, error-filled effort from a poorly coached team devoid of leadership. Saints were a rabble of lazy, ponderous, individuals. They allowed a depleted Port side to over-run them. Big clean out is needed at the end of the year…starting with Howard.

Cordy won a premiership how do you explain that?saintkid wrote: ↑Fri 26 Apr 2024 11:16pm Port knew very well what they were doing letting Howard and Bonner go and the Dogs letting Cordy go. Never going to be a challenger with duds like this. Play more youth and give us supporters some real hope with new talent and upside. These blokes are a liability to the team going forward. Membrey and Ross are done too.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
Hastie did some good stuff, but he looks a little slow.
