Game Day Round 7, 2018: St.Kilda v Melbourne

[pebblesofsand]

Billing’s to Essendon for their first

I'd take their third!!

 

[Quixote]

So the only players who are untouchable in terms of trading, IMO, are --

Jack Steven
And Carlisle
Maaaaybe Gresh.

That's it.

I think Hickey has held is own against probably the best ruck in the comp… Longer can keep smashing 80 hitouts and 1 kick in the vfl.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Seen both this weekend.

Hickey>Billy.

 

[StFly]

Also want to say, saw 3 handballs marginally behind the running player where the observer goes "33% chance to fail, 66% chance to fail, might as well buy a lottery ticket, holy crap a kick..." to the actual advantage of Hickey who keeps his eyes on the ball and hey presto, a goal.

Amazing that when there is support for the ball carrier we can do this, I always assumed we simply had to give time for the Dee's to set up and for us to pot around a bit wondering WTF to do.

Jesus boys, and you know I'm a closet saint, but fk me.
This team is devoid of belief, confidence, leadership, system and probably most importantly, skill under pressure.

This is brown paper bag time ugly.

 

[psychosaints]

Yay, broke the 50 point barrier. There’s a Richo positive that the ‘kickers & the catchers’ can take into next week. The worst coach terminology since Thommo’s ‘Training Services’ reference

 

[sonnywalters]

We are a broken team. The destruction of the last few weeks on this team goes way beyond wins and losses.

We have been broken since Rd 17 2017.

 

[Impatient Saint]

Surely Billings gets a rest after today he has been completely insipid. He needs a pressure release and a reminder that playing for the club is an honour.

 

[PickledSaint]

Hey look a tall target!! Too bad it's Gawn.

Heh!

Truth be told this thread is almost more entertaining than the actual game...

For certain would rather hear some of you guys in the commentary box though

 

[Papa Juggs]

I'm now convinced we have the worst coach in the league.

We have so much talent and not many injuries. It's not like we have kids on the park either.

Skills are just horrible. Skills come from coaching. Perhaps we drafted spuds and I'm not seeing it?

 

[kyrgios]

This is rubbish... I'm done.

Anyone for Tennis?

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Just saw Nathan wright in a sling.

 

[busso_mick]

Well done Tom Hickey. Not out of his depth against the best ruckman in the league ATM.

 

[Mowman]

How do you explain North?
Out of interest.
Good side or good coach?
Genuine question.

Their not St Kilda

 

[kernelT]

I refuse to give up on Billings… don't care how bad he is going right now. The way our entire team is performing smacks of terrible coaching and development.

Billings is a gun we just need to get it out of him.

 

[Joffaboy]

We can't find room on the bench for both of them?

Reckon Newnes hasnt be too bad.

I know he is this weeks scapegoat, but here aee some worse

McCartin
Long
Geary
Weller
Steele
Billings
Clark

Tell the old man that is ******* gold

Must go to the vfl

 

[VDS66]

I actually disagree strongly. They look like they are trying hard. We just aren't very good. They look like they are trying but the intensity has dropped away because i's all for nothing. Hickey has been very good this year.

Nah that kick in the back pocket and bleach just stood there waiting for it. Too many passengers IMO. And the rest are ordinary.

 

[Impatient Saint]

Newnes is the most overrated player in the whole comp. Absolute imposter.

Newnes is playing injured IMO he has no acceleration at all wouldnt surprise me if he had OP.

So the only players who are untouchable in terms of trading, IMO, are --

Maaaaybe Gresh.

That's it.

And Coffield, will be a gun if his talent isn't coached out of him

 

[Kildonan]

I just want to win this last quarter please

 

[Sab22]

Living in a house that's got Tigers and Cats fans is fun

Hit targets.

FF makes a contest and kicks goals
