[Hayes4PM]

We've got the breeze in the last quarter lads, this is a lot closer than it seems

 

[D2D3]

Mate Lyon is the least of our worries.

Ahh. The Ross apologists still going strong. We’ll see how long it lasts.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Bring in Barrat & Keeler

The obvious two outs for next week would be Hammer and Cordy.

Free agents chomping at the bit to sign

 

[billings2paddy]

A lot different, this is for points.

But, expected

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

I get wanting to be more experienced and not play too much youth. But when your most experienced is consistently the worst it just doesn’t make sense.

We will be lucky to keep who we have

What do you want Ross to do? Half the side is out or playing underdone.

Thought the 17 million for Callaghan was a bit of bullshit, now I'm starting to think it's legit after watching this performance.

So picks 1&2 right?

Draft thread will be this season.

This. And not that he is a superstar, but Dow would probably be playing.

 

[lethalsaints]

Nas looks uninterested in a “not my problem” kind of way, very concerning

Yep. His body language was the same against Port. Shaking his head, looking like he's had enough. Can't blame him, he'd rather be on the other team at home, in a lot better team

The disappointing part is the lack of effort and pressure from our senior players on the field

[kick it lace out]

Adelaide are far more advanced than us. They have recruited experienced players through the trade period, whereas we have recruited mainly through the draft. I didn't expect to win (especially with 7 of our regulars missing), but I also didn't expect to be blown away like this.
Also, I'm not sure how Caminiti continues to get games. For me he's just not up to it. I'd prefer to see Keeler given a go. He's far more athletic and has a great leap, combined with a bit of X-factor.

 

[Plugger35]

Gerard Healy who used to be a Saints supporter saying that our future still looks bright with some of our talented youngsters.

I think he is right and it is hard to see right now but missing some of our better and more experienced players hasn't helped.

The Crows are also a few years ahead of us in their rebuild and have pretty much a full strength team with not many injuries.

And so many players being out or underdone due to injury three years in a row under this regime clearly shows that something is rotten. We've got a squad of fragile, skinny running players who get bullied on the field (when not injured)

 

[Premium]

We may finish last this year. If that happens we won’t get any free agents.

We have excuses with the players out today , but we get some play makers back which I rate Henry , Phillipou and Owens highly will make a huge difference.
Also having marking targets King and Sharman in the forward line - hopefully this game will be a bad memory - and having Howard back will be a bonus.
Even Butler would be handy.
But once they come back if they can't get it together - heads need to roll.

 

[TheJackal]

Lyons first year finals finish has cost us a chance at pick 2 as a priority pick.

Just got to laugh guys, we'll get within 5 goals and we'll forget about this game in a month.

Hammer in defence, is almost like we know what we're talking about in here...

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Abysmal effort from hill

 

[Barrels]

Cordy out, Hammer back, Keeler in.

Hammer takes Neale, Wilkie takes Cameron.

 

[lethalsaints]

Abysmal effort from hill

Softest player we've ever had

 

[EddieMurphy]

FFS the first game of footy you can actually predict in real time what the Crows are going to do and that our guys are not going to be able to stop it.
