Preview Round 8: Saints vs Crows

[Superduperouzel]

Really are lacking runners, & once again delivery into our forward line was poor..Pointless exercise having Milera, Saad & Milne in the team..CJ would have been a much better option than Saad or Milera..

Agree with this. Jones could also have offered more grunt in the stoppages. We´ve been slaughtered there.

 

[Barrels]

Stick a fork in us unfortunately.

Kids haven't come up from the short break after a tough game.

 

[Squizz]

For Adelaide, Sloane has been super impressive. Gut running, good decision making in tight, great ball handling and hitting targets consistently. Would be great to put a tag on him but who? Would love him at the Saints.

He was on fire. Looks like the Saints conceded and sent Gears across to him.

 

[Terror Time]

Pitiful half of football. No run, no leading, no team work, little manning up. What was our game plan? Did we even have one other then flood their backline early? Any reason why we changed from what we were doing last week? Coached by an amateur.

 

[TommyJay]

Wow. This is by far the worst we've played this year...quite embarrassing. Makes it worse that Adelaide aren't even that good. It's hard to stomach these awful decisions by so many players.

Stick a fork in us unfortunately.

Kids haven't come up from the short break after a tough game.

Fisher's opponents seem to get way too much space..We need to closely look at targetting both Hanson & M.Brown for next year..We are TWO KD's short on our list..!

 

[Squizz]

I said before the game I just don't understand why we're going away from a structure that was going well for us with the extra mids and only two smalls. Need to go back to that next week.

Selection went with Maister and the mosquito fleet.

Maister was unfit and the mosquito fleet out of form. A poor set-up unless we dominate the clearances - and in that we've been smashed!!!

 

[sauce_head]

I think we lost this at the selection table to be honest. We are not playing a limo salad ten like Carlton this week. Jones should have been in.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Why we dropped Jones is beyond me yet still of out of form players still in the side, Scott surely has something against CJ it's ridiculous. Best midfielder just about dropped.......

 

[CHBench]

Woeful.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Can't watch this crap any longer, looks like they aren't even trying

 

[sauce_head]

By by Milera. Good to hear Gerrard Heally does not have a clue about his attributes though. Seriously, if you don't know shut te F up.

 

[35Saints35]

This will happen a lot during the next two years we will win the odd game were not supposed to the serve up this vomit the next week , that's what happens with a lack of experience. Milera is terrible .

 

[Superduperouzel]

Can we see all of Ledger, Dunnell , Jones , Saunders next week ?
Milaira , Maister , Ray , Saad out

 

[Defacto]

that has to be the most selfish piece of play i have ever seen of a player. milera should hang his head in shame. wanted to pump it into the stand infront of the home crowd, instead of quickly dribbling it through

 

[Sheeza69]

Fisher's opponents seem to get way too much space..We need to closely look at targetting both Hanson & M.Brown for next year..We are TWO KD's short on our list..!

Put Stanley BACK on Jenkins, he's sliced & diced our defence today..Had only one kicked one on Stanley..
Fox commentators just mentioned the fact that Milera & Saad are restricted, in that they CAN'T play midfield..Time to upgrade Curren, & give him & Ledger a game..Crows running us off our legs now..!!

 

[diehard_sainter]

Milera just does not work hard enough. Doesn't seem to want it either. Anyone agree?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

So ins for the next game CJ, Ledger, Dunnell are a must we need some run, some clearances and kicks to forwards inside 50, and drop Milera, Maister, and Saad i guess

 

[Squizz]

Why we dropped Jones is beyond me yet still of out of form players still in the side, Scott surely has something against CJ it's ridiculous. Best midfielder just about dropped.......

I really thought that they decided last week to put Dal on Judd, and not have a hard tag (just let Geary and Dempster run with an opponent but try and create). Seemed OK for that game. But yeah, bit of a shock to see him not come straight back in. We have lost the clearances and lacked run. Jones would've helped. The inability of our mids to play as forwards (aside from Jack) is a bit of a problem.

 

[boydie]

Healy right bout Saad and Milera though, cannot currently play as part of midfield.
This needs to be developed or they cannot be part of long term plans.

 

[Superduperouzel]

How´s Lee going at Sandy ?

 

[35Saints35]

Yeah agree with that get the broom out reward the vfl guys for their efforts

 

[Defacto]

milera is 25. atleast saad is younger and has time to be shaped. he also can apply some sort of defensive pressure. its now or never for players like milera/hyphen.

milera will be sent back to the VFL and stay there IMO

 

[L_W_P]

Curren is going to get a great chance against a pretty average Dogs team. Rekon Jones will be back too.

Bet you he doesn't, It's ridiculous we don't reward in form players.
