Saints game progress

[itsintheblood]

Browny looked fit which was a positive.

 

[itsintheblood]

early days lads, dont stress. Good to see morton played ok though.

Easy for you to say.

 

[Hawks 08]

Positives: Deledio, Brown, Newman

Negatives: McMahon, Tambling, JON

Sylvester looks like he needs a long time before playing AFL football. Too many stupid freekicks against him and errors.

 

[SS_Fury]

Easy for you to say.

lol not really, my team is a bit of an unknown too

 

[NQTIGER]

Positives: Deledio, Brown, Newman

Negatives: McMahon, Tambling, JON

Sylvester is an average VFL player. Nothing else.

JON is a waste of space.

Negatives: McMahon, Tambling, JON

How did you possibly miss King in the positives? Richmond's best IMHO.

Even without cousins and judd the eagles are powerful, skillful side.

I can't believe that Polak fancies himself as a forward. He should just concentrate on learning to walk before running. He should just try to be the best defender he can be.

The saints had too much polish. They look like a team on the verge of top 4. We are at the opposite end of the ladder. We got a long way to go. Not enough players are good enough.

And what is Kane Johnsons role in this team. Was basically unspotted all night. Not good enough.

And Richo is the same ol' Richo. Can never kick a goal when we need it.

We need Delidio in the midfield more than we need him up forward.

Richard Tambling is not a footballer, and JON is way off the pace.

King, Moore, Newman.

 

[RichosGuns]

Cartlege and Sylvester were shit...Collard should be the upgraded rookie

 

[RichosGuns]

King, Foley, Richo, Newman, Riewoldt, Tuck, Deledio, Brown, Bowden

Everyone else (Moore did a couple of good things)

A few other points:
- Silvester isn't an AFL player
- We wasted a #1 pick on JON
- Tambling hardly "trained the house down" by his performance
- Cartlege isn't an AFL player
- Our kids are no where near as good as we think they are (Jackson, Tambling, Casserly, Morton, etc)
- The fact that we played a best 22 minus maybe Thurstfield and Polo against a St Kilda B team shows that either there very good, or where very bad. I think its the latter

 

[krustyman]

tigers were absolutely pathetic, turnovers, poor disposal, such a disappointent in a game that they should have won by 5 goals, given they played none of their stars. time to cull some of the draft picks. they just cant trot around getting handouts and expect to play seniors.

Think you are a bit hard on Morton thought he was OK, and thought Casserly showed glimpses as did Simo, Tuck and Johnson are midfield stoppers which we can only afford to have one, and Tuck's a mile ahead.

 

[Tigerland2007]

Coughlan, McGaune, Schulz, Edwards, Thursfield, IMO would be in the best 22

Polak must play CHB and Schulz must come in at FF

Silverster was crap

Its only a nab game lets not get too carried away, a lot of guys where going at half/ 3qtr pace

Raines, JON, Hyde and Riewoltd Struggled add Jackson too

My line up for round 1 if everyone would be fit would be

McGaune, Thursfield, King
Bowden, Polak, McMahon
Newman, Coughlan, Tivendale
Pettifer, Richo, Brown
Deledio, Schulz, Morton
Simmonds, Tuck, Foley
Johnson, Pattison, Tambling, Edwards/Moore

 

[Terry Tan]

It's a shame we won't be seeing Trent Cothin, we could really do with him.

Tambling, JON, Polak, Silvester, Johnson, Raines, Jackson, Simmonds, Hyde, Patterson ...to name a few.

Terry Wallace...please resign asap.

Not denying we were pathetic for a minute, but maybe it's time to cut, send to long term injury list, a couple of the older and worst disposal offenders, and lets see an attacking style with collard and the likes.

I thought Patto was okay, not a pass, but okay

Polak has gone backwards

you're a dreamer...that means RFC have been going 1/2 pace for 28 years

I ask this question last year,who the hell is the skills coach at punt road?.

Pettifer was pretty good and Jackson was solid in a couple of tagging roles.
Cartledge will never make it and JON and Sylvester where terrible and I have defended Tucky for a long time and took special note tonight and he hit a clean target only twice that I saw for the whole night by foot and not a lot better by hand.

Jade Rawlings (Richo's brother in law )

 

[Grange Hermitage]

The worst part about the game is that it felt we were never in it. Even when we got within a kick, the Saints just put the foot to the pedal and kept pressure on the scoreboard. I'm also tired of the easy free kicks for holding or 'in the back' that we give away at centre bounces. It happens way too often. Also the year after year problem is still there, that is - running off half back, then stuffing around with 2 or 3 side ways or backwards hand passes under pressure, only to turn it over. Some things change, some things remain the same.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

I thought Patto was okay, not a pass, but okay

Polak has gone backwards

Think Polak is just not a forward and despite or forward line of 2007, or lack of it, can not believe he was tried there especially given we have added lids, morton, browns return and possibly collard, along with the expected improvement of Reiwoldt to strengthen that end ???

 

[RichosGuns]

Not denying we were pathetic for a minute, but maybe it's time to cut, send to long term injury list, a couple of the older and worst disposal offenders, and lets see an attacking style with collard and the likes.

IMO Bowden, Tivdendale, Newman, Pettifer, Brown, Richo were all in our best 12 or so. All these guys are over 25.

Fact is our youngsters are simply not as good as we think, bar probably Deledio.

JON, Tambling, Casserly, Morton, Jackson, Hughes all need a kick up the arse

Edwards, Riewoldt, Polo have shown enough to me that they will be at least solid players

Add Conners to that list he will win the rising star this year if he remains uninjured and does not get reported
