Autopsy Saints v Dees

[Browny2Carlisle]

Surprised about the Tauru hate he was brilliant late game
Carroll sucks
JSos has concrete boots
Caminiti let van rooyan kick 6
Macrae moving in slow motion
TDK worrying
Sharman lucking he can tap a ball
Keeler…

 

[phantom13]

Never thought I'd say it, but if Dougal is fit he must come back in.

Yeh if I was right about this loss I was wrong about Camma, appalling today.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

The forward line is absolute alarm bells but if we don't lift our pressure and intensity we are ****ed. We were weak until the last few minutes.

We dont have anyone there because we pay millions to a bloke who has a shit knee, calf, hamstring and so on

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

For the second week in a row I’m not sure why Ross is playing our $2m mid as an undersized full forward. Maybe he was explaining that to him whilst he spent 6 of the last 12 minutes on the bench after kicking a goal?

At least the enormous bubble has burst early this season. Hopefully cheap holidays by September.

omg stfu kane kornes, we're still under the cap, the number he is paid is irrelevant

 

[gringo2011]

TDK far from the worst this week and was good last week.

Our gameplan at this point should just be get Nas the pill, at all costs.

He's turned to shit too. He walks around waiting to be fed like prize poodle. He's an incredible player but he's got way ahead of himself to the point where he refuses rot do anything difficult. He wants to be a finisher without any of the hard work.

Max Hall should be cloned and every other campaigner in the side dropped for them.

 

[gringo2011]

I’d take a semi-final at this stage.

Yep, finals are a pipe dream at this point. I'd take scraping into 10th but even that looks like a mountain to climb to get to.

 

[stfan]

Let's be honest.

Right here and now we have gone backwards both player wise and coaching wise.

And that is against 2 teams who might not make the 8 this year.

Our midfield looks dreadful.

Fir a team who is meant to be a run and carry team, our connection is poor.

We lack forward structure.

Many players our down on form.

Taura is being gifted games when he is not up to it at present, especially with disposing it.


Top picks on athletes over footballers is not looking too rosey at present.

Our best and most effective players are "footballers". Many from late pics or rookie or msd.

We have way too many poor users of the ball. This gs could be ugly when we play teams chock-full of good ball users.

Coaching wise we are a mess in terms of what is happening on field.

Nas is playing too cute at times. Gresham like lairy kicks. Opposition players have studied his moves now. He is quality, but needs to reign it in a bit for effectiveness.


Hall. Today would have been grimmer without him.

2 games in, and things are not looking good.

 

[Joffaboy]

Really 0-2 means we can barely get to top 6. Will be lucky to be 10th.
The skills we appalling, really the dropped marks the shanked kicks with no pressure.
I dont know what to tell you guys. I really thought we had a chance this year.
On todays performance we are bottom 6

 

[The Jack]

Higgins 2 chances for 2 misses late were so costly. Not sure what he was thinking. And Wood’s miss. Ffs. We kill ourselves.

Imagine letting Fritch ice the game. What a squib, and he’s kicked 6 in a premiership. Will we ever get a shot?

 

[Saintos The ITK]

We’re actually not that bad. Poor coaching and failure no composure is doing us in. It’s like we’re putting way too much pressure on ourselves to perform. I actually think we need to take a leaf out of Keelers book and settle down a bit.

 

[70s sainter]

N

Never thought I'd say it, but if Dougal is fit he must come back in.

o big statement when the other choice is caminiti. Made van tossbag look like plugger

 

[Saintos The ITK]

A lot of bounces went Melbournes way today I thought. I think that a lot so I might be delusional.

Same last week.

 

[PrimalConstruct]

 

[Coconut_twirl]

A decent wage of the salary cap is paid to a forward that hasn’t played in a while. It’s not clear when they will return to AFL level.

Saints have that current predicament and I’m not sure how it gets solved.

 

[The Slug]

Higgins 2 chances for 2 misses late were so costly. Not sure what he was thinking. And Wood’s miss. Ffs. We kill ourselves.

Imagine letting Fritch ice the game. What a squib, and he’s kicked 6 in a premiership. Will we ever get a shot?

Higgo stupidly played on, got a 2nd chance and then played on almost immediately. Take a breath ffs, calm down then kick it.

 

[SaintsofSteel]

The speed of the game has gone up 10-15% and we simply dont have the game plan or quality of players to cope. The injuries are starting to come Phillipou and Ryan will miss next week and a number of players deserve to be dropped, but apart from kids who do we have ready to come in. Hopefully Howard is some where near ready and can replace Caminiti at full back.

Its pretty obvious the club have missed the mark with their list management - TDK is a good pick up but the rest have been average at best. We are paying Silvagni what Battle left for what a joke that is looking like. Nas is a shell of the player that finished off last year, the $$$ and pressure have got to him and his coaches.

Unless a miracle happens, I can forsee us having another very grim year!

 

[L_W_P]

I just can't understand why we didn't throw one of Hammer or SOS to FF for the last 10 minutes.

Once it was clear the Dees were pushing hard forward it was time to give them something to think about the other way.

Better off losing by 30 but taking a chance to win it vs holding still while they choke us to death.

Two weeks in a row it feels like we've been genuinely out coached.

 

[Joffaboy]

Yeh if I was right about this loss I was wrong about Camma, appalling today.

I was pretty much howled down by saying Caminiti was not a back.
At least with Howard we have a scapegoat.
Seriously he wouldn't shank like half our backline today.

 

[Mowman]

I’d love to say I’m clever but honestly blind Freddie could see it coming.

Says a lot more about those who said it wouldn’t happen than it does those who said it probably would

Look it's not that bad as long as we are improving for next year or the year after that

 

[aidansbonor]

May as well copy and paste the Pies game autopsy.

Seriously, season in real danger of being over by round 6.

it already is over

 

[Curunir]

Look it's not that bad as long as we are improving for next or the year after that

Regardless of what happens this season, we can't really rebuild or bottom out with Tassie coming in. We're stuck with this list one way or the other.

 

[The Jack]

Higgo stupidly played on, got a 2nd chance and then played on almost immediately. Take a breath ffs, calm down then kick it.

He was 5m out ffs. Twice.

 

[Veer Right]

I like Caminiti but i am starting to think we need alternatives to him. It's not Keeler i can tell you that much.

 

[Joffaboy]

We’re actually not that bad. Poor coaching and failure no composure is doing us in. It’s like we’re putting way too much pressure on ourselves to perform. I actually think we need to take a leaf out of Keelers book and settle down a bit.

Not bad? At the game the unpressured turnovers were just incomprehensible. The simply dropped marks were laughable, the missed shots on goal.just depressing.
Dont know but how many goals from direct simple turnovers? 6? 8?
F*** this football club.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

He was 5m out ffs. Twice.

Higgo needs to be dropped.

Simple really
