Preview R1 v St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium (Sunday, March 24)

[Snake_Baker]

Gutsy effort. Bad luck but well done.

May not have noticed but when 2MP got that free the ball went into the gutter and the ump called time off, 20-30 seconds passed before he then called time on, but the clock never stopped

Losses like that make video sessions much more poignant than after one point wins.
Massive learnings coming out of today.
The consequences of one slack effort or a dropped chest mark or wasting a shot or a poor handball or a dumb free kick
Also at seasons end if you aren’t anywhere near making the finals those narrow losses are more valuable than narrow wins.

Having said that the GC Fans/Members haven’t sung the song since 2017 so FFS regroup and treat this match v Freo like a Mini GF.

Show the community that “Challenge Accepted” is for real and not a nice media campaign.

Our club does not need a disaster like the Geelong First Home Game last season.

That’s the VFL cheating for you. It’s often subtle but it’s always in the VFL favour.

I used to hate West Coast/Brisbane/Adelaide but now I know the real VFL it’s just every Victorian Club is horrible and we Non-Vic clubs especially us because our home games aren’t cauldrons yet are totally up against it.

Maybe I’ll be listened to this time

In the key moments we get destroyed by the VFL Umpires every time

It wasn't that we didn't listen, its just that you are wrong.

If we were to go back to the Weller trade last year, and we hadn't have traded pick 2, I would genuinely hope at this point that we used it on Ballard anyway. He's going to be an absolute beast.

Tom Doedee but 2 years younger

Rough loss, but lads cracked in hard and competed well. Too many turnovers and just handballs to no one. Fiorini is a monster.

what was the crowd like?
sounded like a few suns in the crowd but couldn't see many on tv.

 

[Krozza]

At least we will be 9th tonight...

Actually saw quite a few wandering around. Surprised me how much red and yellow I saw. Hopefully will be similar in 2 weeks against the Dogs.

The SUNS bay behind the goal was fantastic everyone was chanting and yelling their lungs out. Not a bad turn out by us was a fair few today.

Peter Wright needed to take that shot. If he misses scores are tied. Suns can put on a press. So frustrating they deserved the win. Playing without Ainsworth and Swallow in the midfield hurt. But the Suns fought hard and made a game of it. Hopefully this is a trend for the rest of the season. Plenty of positives. A few negatives. Super pump for the first home game of the year next Sunday afternoon.

Hope you enjoyed the day - was great to hear everyone in voice.

can see the similarities but Ballard has so much flexibility comparatively. Where Doedee (sucks about his ACL) is probably only ever going to be an intercepting defender, Ballard could push onto the wing, on ball or up at half forward if we needed. His rate of development has been really staggering

There was a scene in the replacements where Shane Falco changes the play as he didn't have the belief in himself. Bringing a great piece of motivation from gene Hackman staying "winners always want the ball when the game is on the line" for mine big Pete needs to watch that and when in the same situation again, take it on.

Was a gut wrenching loss but enjoyable day besides the saints fans who were quite feral. Was it loud on tv? For sure! Back it up next week, make lots of noise! Our boys were feeding off the energy and noise.

 

[Krozza]

One thing I will comment on though is Murdoch. Obviously wasn't too flash given they put him forward in the last quarter. Didn't notice him too much.

Can we serve him a bowl of intensity every morning please!!!

Despite clangers, I love him. He should be a special player in a couple of years.

Even better his dad wants him to be a one club player.

 

[George]

Well done today guys. You played a hell of a game. Plenty of promising signs. If you ventured to the Saints board you'd probably see that we are melting over a win - incredible scenes really.

Think you will surprise a few this year!

Saints fans cheered like they’d won the GF when the siren sounded

Well they’d be melting because everyone says we are s#*t that’s been gift wrapped in vomit and it’s up to us to win these games and turn that perception around.
