Game Day Round 3, 2020: Collingwood v St.Kilda

[Max the great]

It's a myth that he's any good. Average footballer

an Ollie wines would be useful.

 

[Impatient Saint]

We just need to start winning the ball at the break down and stop Collingwoods half back flankers running through creating extras through the square.

We had a total of 4 tackles in the 1st quarter - Collingwood are making us look silly. Start burying a few of the f....rs.

Hill is playing bruise free football. Marsh is doing nothing at FP try him tagging Pendlebury FFS.

 

[Joffaboy]

Oh well good to be whinging about something other than covid.

 

[SaintersUnite]

If we can swap out a Ross for a Wines or Brad Crouch, our midfield would at least be competitive against teams like this.

We might be better off in the middle with Hill, Butler and Lonie! Need the nimbleness in there. Hanners and the rest aren't making a contest.

 

[Premium]

Funny what bias can do. Steeele has had 5 possessions

Amazing when you don't win out of the middle you get well beaten - Grundy beating our 2 ruckman , better just playing one and play Marshall - we are just restricting his game now - Battle plays forward - Webster and Geary back into the backline.

 

[Pardon me]

They will win by 80

Nah mate. They only play for the first half.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we snaffle this.

 

[bird_man]

Id trade Ross in a heart beat. Dunstan too. Would consider billings at the right price.

We'd have no trouble trading Billings. There'd be 17 clubs happy to look at that trade.

It's be stupid from us though.

We'd get nothing for Dunstan

 

[Munga]

The Pies understand where their teammates are around the contest and spread so well. We can't lay a finger on Pendles and Sidebottom. Our mids are always under the pump. Pies 100% switched on and we are lost. Guys like Jones, Hanners, Marsh, Steele, we're looking for an inside game, Pies are brilliantly making it an outside game to suit them. Our backs and forwards are ok, it's our mid setup that's letting us down.

I conpletely forgot to mention Ross too...

 

[Joffaboy]

Ratts telling it as it is.

 

[StFly]

I think ross is now in the josh bruce chair. He's just not ever going to be a player to drive this side to finals.

Hanners is old so meh.

Steele can play a lock down role but that's it.

Hill will be ok with a decent midfield around him.

Billings we need to see with a decent inside midfield.

Ross is a foil inside, does the job but Steele was/is his upgrade. We're missing the "Hayes type" of the bull that is a inside mid first to feed to the Hills and Billings types outside, and instead going bit part with the Ross/Steele/Hanners options in there, as whilst Hanners "can" he isn't, who are "run with" sort of options to negate the oppo winning the initial contest from the tap and forcing error.

Problem being when you run into "quality" as in, they have plans, they can execute them, you get torched since you chase arse from the get go.

If we're running 2 rucks to win the tap and provide first use, Jones is Ross' upgrade, he's rotated out at seasons end and we chase that bull mid for pure inside first use.

 

[CarnTheSAINTERS]

membrey..

 

[Sheepey]

I do find it amusing that Ross won the B&F last year when I feel that he is our weakest mid. His disposal isn't good enough to be an effective outside mid, while he doesnt win enough contested football to be called an inside mid. So what we have is just an accumulator whose stats often look decent, but really whose effectiveness is limited.

[CarnTheSAINTERS]

there’s no problem with Billings.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Hwre we go


First of 9 in a row

 

[Plugger35]

Funny what bias can do. Steeele has had 5 possessions

His big tackle was worth 10 touches, one of the reasons I rate Long, arguably our best indigenous player since Nicky Winmar,

 

[Hubnester]

Better start let's keep it that way

 

[SaintersUnite]

I like how Marsh virtually has the same job as Geary did last week, and has kept Howe to just one mark. But apparently Marsh is useless whereas Geary did excellently.

Grundy the one killing us atm. Need to figure him out

 

[Verdun66]

[Hubnester]
