No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 4

What the hell does Lyon do differently that gets the Saints playing this well early?

It's funny because talent wise they're at best mid table. It's all system

 

[CarnTheScray]

Lyon has made them a high effort side. Won’t win the flag or anything but relentless effort and pressure alone is enough to beat half the sides in this comp.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Essendon crumbling under pressure as usual. Worse than us.

 

[SPower]

Jakey resting the hammies lol

Don't tell them that they're cocky as

Also the umpires pets this year so far

 

[Nat Fyfe]

Fergus Greene hitting the scoreboard every week. And in a terrible side. I knew he was decent.

He hit the scoreboard every week for us too. Problem is, he never does any serious damage. Very low ceiling player, isn’t a game winner in any sense. That was probably his best game ever and he had 10 touches and 2 goals. We’re not really missing out on anything, but happy to see him getting games for the Hawks

2 goals from 10 touches for a small/medium forward you would take every week.

Yep Saints fans are the same as Carlton fans. Except they have achieved less than us.

Maybe it’s their turn to be “the story”.

 

[Nat Fyfe]

It’s the only time he’s ever kicked multiple goals in his career. If he averages those figures then great, but most weeks he’s going for 1 goal and 5 or 6 touches, which is the kind of output that usually gets you dropped

Don't have enough talent

 

[Doggy]

Goal review to make sure it didn't hit the post.. saints supporters boo.

Turning into flogs

 

[Golden_6]

2 goals from 10 touches for a small/medium forward you would take every week.

He also kicked one goal combined in his first two games. Greene is not a small forward and applies next to zero pressure.

One goal a game and no other impact is pointless. May as well have Billy Gowers out there.

 

[NBates]

Don't wanna put the mocca/moka on it, but this is quite enjoyable so far....

Talent wise I'd say they would have the worst list in the comp right now. King and Steele are their best players and both are out.

It's amazing what you can achieve with a good system, some belief and some grit.

Not sure about worst ... but it's certainly middling

 

[BrisDog]

Would he get a game in our current 22? (assume that Weightman is fit)

Yes

 

[Fossie 32]

They were going to win anyway. Didn't save anything

What got Carltank in front was a dissent freekick in front of goal because they were questioned for a non paid freekick to the plastics which was there

 

[Fossie 32]

The umpire who paid that disgusting dissent free kick needs to be dropped

Against GWS but

 

[Northernsoul74]

Go Hawthorn.

I don‘t particularly like Norf, in case anyone was wondering.

 

[Doggy]

Butler.. complete ****head.

Also a saints throw not called directly giving them another umpire assisted goal

 

[bresker]

Saints have subbed Cordy off, Ross Lyon has taken some of the enjoyment out of the game with that move.

Saints have four teenagers in the team.

The 'insufficient attempt' rule is a lottery.

 

[Doggy]

Any surprise Eleni gets saints home? Useless umpire, her decisions are a lottery

 

[bresker]

Never mind Ferg Greene, the Roos delisted Mason Wood

He's having a huuuuuge game

I also never know about the downfield free for a late bump. JUH got a “lucky” free kick for one when Andrews was barely (if at all) late. West got stitched up similarly the week before. Macrae should get about 10 free kicks every game by the standard of some they are paid.

The high contact vs contact below the knee feels like a 50/50 proposition at times too.
