Game Day Rd 23 - Saints in Hobart - What Could Go Wrong

[believe_it]

So injuries, inaccuracy , poor skills, lack of tackling pressure, and failure to back up a win - this is our season summary

 

[estibador]

Pretty ordinary qtr, we're lucky to be as close as we are. Though Saints had the wind that qtr.

Switta is going to be a big loss if his back has seized up. Henry needs to watch some tapes of Switta's defensive pressure. No point being rapid if you only use it offensively and jog around half-heartedly when you don't have the ball.

 

[bushchook]

I reckon Switta has taken a knock to the kidney there

The fact that his reaction was so delayed suggests it's something internal, hoping for the best for him.

 

[Bring back Drum]

I think Switta's might be lower left back. maybe spasm....Give him a shot of ketorolac, a valium and a couple of tramadol!....He'll be good to go

Good call Doc. Definitely back related & hes had some serious back issues & landed awkwardly after the run down tackle.

 

[kingswood71]

Some campaigner shot Switta!

Was that man on the grassy knoll.

 

[Madas]

Tbf, his first although not perfect, went to Meek who totally f’ed it up.

Jeeez Meek has cost us
Such basic ruck skills lacking .
Giving him the benefit of the doubt but bloody hell , learn to handball big fella.

 

[Scham]

Has Switta broken his hip?

Put his back out by the look of it.

Looked like it was back related. Got a knock in an earlier contest and then it really got triggered after the next play.

 

[Alfonz]

Terrible performance, but sadly quite predictable.

Need to kick about 8 goals in the next quarter so we are way in front at the next change. Won't happen of course.

 

[Belnakor]

The fact that his reaction was so delayed suggests it's something internal, hoping for the best for him.

looked like his back completely seized up which can feel like you've been shot by a sniper

 

[Sean_09]

Meek has all the attributes to succeed at this level except for footy brain.

Every time he's screwed up is just down to poor decisions. I don't know that you can teach footy brains.

Ah, Taberner Syndrome

 

[kingswood71]

We are ugly. We are 15 points down, somewhat remarkably.
I think we can run this out. Need a 3rd quarter burst and we can leap ahead!

he hasn't played very many games. I like the raw material we are seeing.

 

[MadDocker]

That heel in Swittas kidney I reckon

 

[PH Docker]

Pearce has been a liability today and has been woeful for weeks now , as for Henry he just doesn’t look interested and when Freddy / Sturt come back next year won’t be anywhere near the best 22.

 

[Sean_09]

" Fremantle leads the clearances 11-7 this quarter but of those 11, seven have been intercepted by St Kilda. "

Sort this shit up and we'll be looking much better next half

 

[Mudd]

how dire was that camera shot just then of our forward line, we really do have nothing of quality up there.

 

[Dockeroo]

The fact that Henry has played 16 games this season sums up the state of this list.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

[Madas]

Young is suuuuch a promising player.

Yep
Wonder how long till he asks for a transfer ?

 

[freo_leo29]

Well when Western comes on we will effectively be playing 4 players down

Henry, Bewley, Meek and Western

Hard to win like that

 

[Sean_09]

Pearce has been a liability today and has been woeful for weeks now , as for Henry he just doesn’t look interested and when Freddy / Sturt come back next year won’t be anywhere near the best 22.

Our midfield's disposal and turnovers have been doing him and the rest of our backs zero favors

 

[Pommie Docker]

Did anyone see the vision of Henry just before Tabs hit the 50 meter.
standing in the goal square signalling for the long high ball.
bloody hell

I did and sums up a lot of our problems

 

[Freeeoo]

Some very dumb footy being played. Looks like we've never seen a breeze before.

 

[estibador]

Jesus, he's not even on the bottom 20.

Probably not even the bottom 50. He's a raw young ruckman who shows a bit but still has typical baby giraffe syndrome.
