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

[SandyToes]

St Kilda who have long had one of the slowest midfields bar Steven mind you.

Parker, Gresham, Sinclair, Long burning us

That is a major concern with our mids
Miles, Miller, GHS, Swallow, Fiorini, Bowes not exactly speedsters

Sexton, Powell, Weller, Martin our dynamic midfielders - need to impose their athleticism

Mid fats have killed us since day 1

At least Dwayne Russell and Gerard Healy are now over their depression they were enduring in the first quarter

 

[nutstar]

Only 2 goals down, with plenty not getting their hands on it. Can turn this around.

 

[TheSunGod]

Don't think you can knock a first game tall forward.

Wasn’t knocking him. Wasn’t expecting much. Just haven’t seen him... which was what I expected. The kid, like Ben King, isn’t ready yet. Media have overhyped him.

 

[gcsunsfc]

6/6/6 favours those dynamic midfielders

So we recruit GHS and Miles
They've been absolutely burnt at least 5 times combined this half.

Can see some of the positives for Miles
GHS on the other hand

Pretty hard to see what he brings to the team.

Ah Chee in for GHS please

 

[Camsta]

Think we’re ok actually - plenty of effort even if it’s a bit misguided. Can’t fault the young kids busting a gut out there.

He got involved in that Sexton goal and also had the Goal assist for Peter Wright snap in the first quarter.

His best attribute is marking on the lead and his skills.
With our ball movement and midfield we don't give him much of a chance to demonstrate his best traits.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Going to be a long year if this is what we are going to serve up

Biggest positives, a top 2 pick again at years end and Ballard is a pleasure to watch

 

[gcsunsfc]

Happy we've kicked 7 goals in the first half.
We played a number of games last year without that many the whole match.

 

[Peel67skin]

Skill bad , waste all energy on effort .Sydney game plan make players look slow.

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

The turf is ****ed. Can't believe they are letting elite players play on it.

Can see us running out of puff already, wouldn't be surprised if we only kick 3-5 more goals for the whole match.

 

[Big Red Machine]

Only 2 goals down, with plenty not getting their hands on it. Can turn this around.

This is the correct response to the current situation.

First half of the first game of the season, 7 Debutants. Kindly pull your heads in with the doomsday predictions.

Ta.

Totally agree - We’re in a rebuild so Get onboard

Please God the long suffering Suns supporters deserve some love after 8 years of SFA

Wouldn’t hurt to play him down back to get some confidence.

No but we get to sit through the Gresham-Saints halftime show lovefest.

 

[GCStormie]

I feel like with joyce out Weller may be the guy whos moved back into a more lock down defense role, where he was more winger in the pre-season. i'm not sure that's a winning move if that's what's occurred

Weller is not a good defender. Not strong enough in the body or hard enough at the ball. Need him up on the wing.

Is that a directive ?

 

[TheSunGod]

Murdoch is a spud.

 

[TheSunGod]

Funny to say this about a kid who hasn’t played a game but Izak would’ve made a huge difference in this game.

Edit: Sexy goal!!

 

[Peel67skin]

This kind of game is hard to watch/predict , even if you won it still make you wondered is it lucky /effort or good skill/good structure .

 

[Mini GF]

Scores even so the VFL umpires cheat again

 

[ajsars]

Powell is terrible. Cant see why they picked him
