Game Day Round 14 - St Kilda v Footscray [Thursday 7.30pm] **Sinclair's 200th!**

[Sully111]

I had surgery a week ago so I'm watching this calmly. Mellow Sully lol.

 

[Dalsantowhatastar]

Games like this (again) make you wonder if we are ever going to make it?

 

[Plugger35]

Another bullshit free kick to the Dogs and then Nas kicks a classy goal without any umpires assistance.

Surprised the umpires didn't try to ping him for running too far.

 

[Balmira]

I went back and watched it in slow motion, it wasn't even Clark. The dogs player put his arm out stopping Clark from passing, and the umpire walked backwards into Clark.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Our turnovers are horrific

 

[Teflon]

We’ve been off it tonight no doubt but **** me the umpires have a stiffy for the dogs

It’s been like that for ages let’s be honest and nothing is said about it

 

[Broski]

Might be best to just fold to save our mental health

 

[TheJackal]

Imagine losing Smith, Daniel, Macrae and Jamarra and not even noticing it.

No point getting angry tonight, when the Dogs are on they're on, despite plenty going their way. Imagine if Bont didn't have the clamps on him.

Lastly, I wonder if we can poach the Bulldogs fitness guy. How they've gotten Darcy back after 8 weeks is amazing. He's running around in the ruck, dominating at full forward, looks incredible. What we'd all give to see our big great white hope out there doing the same...

Lyon has no idea but Saintbill, who wants King benching 150kg is a full bottle

Heaven forbid we actually have some standards. Hill, Keeler, Marshall, Clark all running around with tummies and no muscle mass is completely acceptable for a professional sporting club.

The G-Train could bench 180kg Dark Ball, and believe it or not Stanley can actually bench 150kg. I know that for a fact. They actually hit the weight room at Geelong.

 

[cartwright]

we are a lazy, lazy side

 

[jwikked]

Commentary bringing up Bolton makes me think, how does an insipid coach end up in our coaches box years after the fact?

 

[botts]

Starting to think we should of take Murphy Reid or Lindsay instead of Trav

Why would we ever do that?

 

[Big 0]

Ross Lyon has nerfed Steele bloke runs around like he’s not supposed to get the ball. How can you waste a player with his ceiling like that

Don’t worry we’ll win the mental health cup because we have the least contact hours in the league!

We’re not making it

 

[kick it lace out]

It’s hard to tell whether we’re making any progress as a club. Aside from a few good wins, our losses are as poor as ever. In fact, the gap between our best and worst seems to be widening.

Captain Tackleberry

 

[Hayes4PM]

Things I would like to see change:

Hill and Jones out, permanently.
Carroll in, given a decent run at it.
Boxshall in, given a decent run at it.
Travaglia staying in for a while, has the work rate and effort.
Marshall moved forward, his ruckwork this year has been down and we are desperate for another tall.
Give Max Heath a crack rucking, he's been on the list about 4 years now, might as well see if he's up to it.

Something's gotta give at the selection table, can't keep picking the same team with games like this. Let's get the autopsy thread up and pumping.

 

[Sully111]

Until we make skills a priority when it comes to players we bring in, it'll be the same story.

And what does Max bench?

 

[sauce_head]

Never seen a team get away with more throws consistently than the dogs

Rebar the Crow Throw? Maybe that? But probably not.

 

[Pardon me]

Starting to think we should of take Murphy Reid or Lindsay instead of Trav

I watched a heap of Xav play locally. Would have been stoked with him.
Saying that, think Trav has greater potential.
The issue we’ve had for years is development. It doesn’t matter if we managed a once in a generation talent, we’d bottle it.

 

[StFly]

I went back and watched it in slow motion, it wasn't even Clark. The dogs player put his arm out stopping Clark from passing, and the umpire walked backwards into Clark.

TBH rather obvious it was the umps fault, I mean he went back on an angle and it's not as if either footy player registers where the muppet goes just that he's there. The "problem" is as you note, both of them are approaching a ruck contest so they have eyes on the ball and suddenly a person trotting backwards is in your way and literally backs into you.

Why blame only one of them?

Shit look is shit look to make shit that much shitter.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

And what does Max bench?

An ANKO 1kg weight.

I’d love to see their stats side by side.
