Game Day Round 8, 2019: St.Kilda v West Coast

[bergholt]

That's a shame, really looked like we were close in this one. Just too many passengers: Long 2 touches, Parker 4 touches, Newnes 11 touches, Acres 11 touches, Marshall no influence, Gresham no influence, Billings no influence.

 

[George]

Ah well, was a game most of us thought we'd lose anyway. I'm not surprised. Thankfully we have an easy schedule in the second half of the year.

Anyone seen billings the million dollar man. Last seen letting a wc players do as he pleases.

 

[Sully111]

Same old ****. Different year

Yep

Skills skills skills.... and as someone mentioned earlier, football IQ.

100 point smashing coming up next week boys. Brace yourselves

 

[Saintbloke]

Our mids are crap.

Over-rated VFL players. Lonie is streets ahead of most of these guys

 

[StFly]

Honestly we can’t expect too much from the team until we get to Carlton and get a few back. Too many key players missing

Having watched the Bloos v Whys, they would torch us since they can actually kick above 10 goals.

That and Cripps would basically pants anything we call a midfielder.

 

[Barrels]

1 effective touch to Long at 3Q time.

Got to get the axe.

 

[bergholt]

Our two goals that quarter were both super low percentage, Savage's running banana and Kent's set shot from the boundary. Very few easy ones tonight.

 

[Sir Skid]

To be honest wasn't expecting a win here.

Sure we've made plenty of mistakes but the umps have well and truly trumped us there.

 

[NarklesHelmet]

I ******* hate this sport sometimes

Agree mate, when you follow other sports where umpires don't have such an influence, you can really see the difference in how frustrated you feel.

To a team that nearly lost to Carlton? I don't think so.

 

[denisp]

What a midfield year over - they’ve lost everything they had in the first month teams have worked us out and the piss poor shots on goal should be in front at 3/4 time - just bring Hind in next week and King the week after - DMac is not up to afl standard and give Long a spell

Now we've given Kennedy confidence.

Steele and Kent should be strung up for those misses.

Just handed them momentum.

Unforgivable.

Kent is our best player!

I would back ourselves at the G.

We tend to play well there.

 

[gringo2011]

Another primetime TV slot where we just shoot ourselves in the foot.

 

[halfbackflankpocket]

West Coast - 11 inside 50's for 6 goals that quarter.

 

[Pardon me]

5 goals is probably a fridge too far. Battled uphill all game though

 

[Indie Rock]

Shot ourselves in the foot completely.

Game has been 50/50 but Eagles just using it so much better, better composed and not having inexplicable f ups like we do when in possession.

 

[Saint12]

Anyone seen billings the million dollar man. Last seen letting a wc players do as he pleases.

Last effort I saw him put in would've made Aaro Fioria look like Paul Kelly

 

[cooperrules]

So many vfl standard battlers

 

[Plugger35]

Put the GOAT to full forward to kick a bag, it;s our only chance.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

frustrating quarter of footy.

I hate myself watching footy.


I need to go for a walk.

 

[Persevering Saint]

The sooner we can get Winx in our forward line, the better.

... then we can start missing kicking to him, too.
