Early emotional takeaway is we're better off playing no ruck like last week + an extra midfielder than Rhys Stanley

Cooked... Performance of an average mid table team... Why we are still having to accept Stanleys *ups blows my mind after all these years. Scott got outcoached as well - we told you all where the team was at. No premiership in sight for a long long time boys.

 

[SkittleCats]

Miers, O Connor, Zuthrie... Enough is enough. You can't win games of football while you are carrying unskilled hacks like that.

 

[Whit3y]

It's ok folks. We play a few bottom of the ladder teams the next few weeks, we can smash them by 10 goals and we can go back to thinking we are a premiership winnings chance and that Chris Scott

can coach and we have superior youth to every other team thanks to Wells.

 

[Micksy]

You win some, you lose some.

 

[catpremier 07]

3 top draft picks for Cameron and he cant kick important goals. He is a star no doubt but we gave way to much for him.
Not sure where to from here but certainly not winning the premiership so need to be aggressive with getting young guys in the side.

 

[catempire]

It’s going to be a frustrating year.

 

[Seeds]

Gees a lot of drama queens in the game day thread. Yeesh.

just not good enough this year. Cant win the centre clearances when the other team gets momentum. Kills us.

still doing much better this season then i thought we we would. We aint competing for a flag this year though. Just dont have the midfield.

miers is really struggling.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Not enough pressure, too fast. Looked like we gave up in second half then tried in last 10 minutes but was too late!

 

[Cataholic]

We're a paper tiger.

Apply pressure and our skills, confidence and desire fall apart. A simple recipe for our opponents.

Hard to see any of Hawkins, Cameron, Rohan, Selwood, Blitz, Smith, Duncan, Stanley or Tuohy playing a part in our next successful finals campaign.

 

[Vdubs]

Port will be top 8, maybe at our expense.

 

[YOTC]

Early emotional takeaway is we're better off playing no ruck like last week + an extra midfielder than Rhys Stanley.

Smashes in the ruck and smashed around the ground. Rarely provides a good target around the ground and we are often kicking to people like Selwood, Miers and Close....

Just the worst version of a ruckman and we've pumped season after season into him.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Having a s**t midfield isn’t much fun.

 

[Romeoh1]

About what I expected. Saints best footy is very good. We were better early, they were better late. A good contest.
Regroup and have to knock the improving port off next week.
Need a few good mids- and have needed for some time now.

 

[Play it Sam]

Never ever learn, definition of insanity with this midfield and the ball over the back
.
And to be fair, even with an armchair ride, STK too good. Their forwards too nippy and
our defenders hating up on each other for losing their man. Poor show.

 

[bombersboy]

Tom Stewart plays to 50% of normal and we win. Looked like they got in his head and he filled his nest every time he had to stand in front. Have to see now whether he has the character to come back.

 

[God Mode]

Our midfield simply can't sustain pressure or attack on the ball for more than 2 quarters. Nor can we string together consecutive wins. Classic middle of the road side unfortunately. WLWLWLWL will be the pattern this year.

SOS, I can’t look at Miers again.

 

[Tackle_happy]

Miers, O Connor, Zuthrie... Enough is enough. You can't win games of football while you are carrying unskilled hacks like that.

Zach was OK. O'Connor was good early. Miers was good in 2020 ... needs to go but the cupboard is a little bare at the moment. Evans perhaps but didn't get near it last week.

Too many injured or with niggles right now to do anything but try and survive.

Not sure this group can do much better Daz.

They can't run any quicker, their kicking and handballing won't improve, and pressure remains their kryptonite.

They're giving it their best, but our next successful campaign isn't within this group imo.

 

[cats_09]

What a s**t 3rd quarter, and it’s ultimately what cost us the match

Across the four quarters we fumbled the ball too often, had expierenced players repeatedly drop marks and all too often struggled to actually hit targets with ball in hand which meant we made things hard work for ourselves

It’s easy to look at the younger players or those on the fringes, but all too often today the errors were coming from our senior experienced players - it’s still a few weeks until our bye, so instead a Sunday gathering with the players getting together & a few hard words being said, seems like a good option

 

[Whit3y]

When do we play norf, gws and Essendon again?

Against these teams, Scotty does his best work.

 

[year of the cat]

It’s going to be a frustrating year.

Not really that disappointed. To paraphrase PJ Keating, “it’s the football recession we had to have.”

 

[bombersboy]

I love Parfitt's effort - always gives 100% but how often has he won a clearance that has gone more than 5 metres.
