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

[my name was taken]

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

Please don't stir up the "we should have lost the last game" crowd

 

[GehrigGOAT]

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 Bulldogs bandwagon again tonight.

Umpires don’t gift a 70 point win. Accept saints are shit and maybe we’d see some change in our culture with supporters putting the blame on who’s responsible for these losses - hint - it’s not the umpires.

 

[cartwright]

How is this game still going

 

[Max the great]

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

Of course he is the least of our problems. I don't know how a sane person could watch this game and come here to post about Travaglia.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

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.

The sacked dwarf Bolton forward coach extraordinaire

 

[saintbill]

Worked up ? By a muppet ??

I can see I am dealing with a real intellect, I will disengage. I apologise for having an opinion sir.

 

[Pardon me]

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

When is his contract up?
Not being inflammatory genuinely curious.
Like I said, I’m a fan, but the evidence is stacking up against him and his methods/gameplan.
It’s not all him - he doesn’t shank Owens set shots or mistime RoMa’s taps but I do attribute a lot of our turnovers to his gameplan and structure. Especially those in contest.

 

[EddieMurphy]

We scored more than the last game against them so technically we have improved.

 

[gringo2011]

Well done to everyone still at the match and still here. True Saints.

I left at 3/4 time. Huge exodus. The train is packed.

 

[sauce_head]

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

Exactly. You don’t switch from 85m out on a forward flank. Just stupid.

 

[RBW_007]

Time to play the kids. They can't do much worse than this.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Naz has gone to sleep since half time

 

[Saint Shags]

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

Again to be 'that' guy.
He's the coach.
He is the one that demands expectations from his players.
If he accepts that, or doesn't work on that then he is as much part of the problem as the players.

And at quick glance I'd nearly say,that the Doggies have more blokes under 50 games than we do tonight. I don't see that impacting them.

 

[Sully111]

We are so f*cking dumb it's just mind blowing.

 

[my name was taken]

Time to play the kids. They can't do much worse than this.

Who haven't we been playing enough?

 

[Atomboy]

Time to play the kids. They can't do much worse than this.

Which ones ?

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

They played us exactly the same way as last time. Pressed us up. We should have gone man on man like against the Dockers

 

[Max the great]

Well done Zac. Just had his 7th possession in 76 minutes.

I'm not ignorant about our own problems, we have plenty but it would be nice if the umpires just gave us an even crack at it.

Even our last win against Melbourne we had to battle against some terrible biased umpiring against us, I've had a gutfull of it.

 

[Sully111]

No more Jones

We gain nothing by playing him. We're not playing finals.

 

[Joffaboy]

Look at that kick from Jones FMD

 

[my name was taken]

It's okay, only the pies next week.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Jones needs to be break glass in case of emergency

 

[The Cobra]

Think we are trying hard. Just purely outclassed. Lot of senior regulars will be gone in the next 2 to 3 years. NAS might be gone.

Just not sure where we go from here and I think RTB is a good coach.


I was positive pre season - clearly I’m no judge.

 

[Vacuous Space]

Who haven't we been playing enough?

Hastie hasn't even got a full game yet this season.
