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

[Saint Hendy]

 

[gringo2011]

He's been given 55% game time in a side thats getting walloped. Get a grip honestly

Watched Trav in the warm up. His skills look outstanding. I reckon he’s the least of our problems

 

[SaintOfLondon]

I hope Nas walks so I can too. I’m close to done.

Amen

 

[TheJackal]

I hope Nas walks so I can too. I’m close to done.

Saddest thing is we aren't missing much from our injury list either. When we get found out by teams, it gets ugly.

 

[Premium]

I hope Nas walks so I can too. I’m close to done.

If we lose him we might as well pack up and move to Tassie.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

We do it a lot. Make the switch and then hold it up for six seconds.

 

[Teflon]

With a name like Teflon, you sure get worked up pretty easily

Worked up ? By a muppet ??

 

[gringo2011]

Don’t let the door hit ya x

I’ll hit you if you’re not careful.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

I’ll hit you if you’re not careful.

The AFL need to fix umpiring urgently. I can’t watch neutral games anymore. The whole game is aggravating and ugly. Every match is overly skewed by the umpiring. You would think that they’d want close matches instead of blow outs for gamblers.

This biased umpiring has been going on for years and it's getting worse and worse with the umpires picking a team to support.

There used to at least be even umpiring in finals but that went out the window in 2016 when they carried the Dogs to their flag.

It looks like the umpires are back on the Dogs bandwagon again tonight, they are probably doing it as a tribute to Troy Pannell.

 

[Max the great]

Yeh it’s Ross fault Nas had 19 turnovers and caused 5 goals and every other players can’t hit a target.

They issues is our kids and that includes Our ruck, we will be a much better team with a real ruck next year

How could anyone defend someone who keeps gifting Brynes Hill and Jones games?

 

[Joffaboy]

Clark can **** off as well.

 

[beside the seaside]

How often do we get smashed and then just throw the magnets around? Keeler back, Hammer forward, Owens mid, rinse and repeat.

Our forward line is abysmal. It really needs to be the number one priority but we only seem to be looking at backs. Maybe using Marshall up there might be a POD?

I dunno I'm just really struggling to see the direction right now.

 

[saintbill]

Actually think Lyon might need moving on. Get Longmire or Simpson. The Dogs are better drilled and move the ball easily. We are poor at everything. Lyon looks like he thinks it’s 2009 still.

It's the way we are losing that is super concerning. When the Hawks and Lions were crap you could see they were still working on an exciting game plan that prioritised fast ball movement.

Lyon's game plan is 20 years old. The game has moved on. It's all damage mitigation, and incredibly boring.

Players look like they can't be assed after awhile. This is the least disciplined Saints side I have seen in some time.

 

[puntking]

I’m emotional (as we all are in this situation) but it’s hard to see Lyon at the club much longer.
2-7 last 9 and no perceivable improvement over the years is enough for me to throw the chequebook at another.
I’m a RtB fan but it might be time for me to accept reality.

There is no chance in hell Ross goes, only way this happens is if he finally has a mental breakdown and quits cos these players are so so poor

 

[Sully111]

Feel for Higgins

He puts himself in decent positions and we don't kick it to his advantage

 

[Vacuous Space]

If we lose him we might as well pack up and move to Tassie.

Big brained move would be to move to Adelaide so we can keep Nas.

 

[StFly]

Already 10 goals up-
"For icing on the cake..."
To make it 11 goals up with 9mns to play.

Commentary 101: when game is long since dead, wax lyrical.

 

[RBW_007]

Remember when Wood couldn't miss.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Our mids are second rate. We do t have a key forward. Need to keep hitting the draft.

 

[SaintlyHymns]

Jesus this is a really has been a pathetic performance.
And from senior midfielders. Some guys watching Sandy's performances and pretty comfortable their spots aren't under threat.
2023 team at least applied effort every game. This side has been listless in losses.
If statements aren't made then we should be comfortable with not attending games.
These are the crowds we deserve.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Yeah I think we have a few promising types but I’m thinking we need a new coach. Thanks for giving us hope rtb.

 

[Saintbloke]

I dunno I'm just really struggling to see the direction right now.

Don't look too hard, there is no direction on or off the field. The future of the club is not good if we serve up tripe seasons like this.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We do it a lot. Make the switch and then hold it up for six seconds.

The whole point of the switch is to get the field moving. Stopping just makes it easy to defend.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

We are a reflection of Sandy.
