Game Day Round 1, 2024: Geelong v St.Kilda *COLLARD, WILSON DEBUT*

[gringo2011]

Pull the trigger of Collard for Higgins?

We need pressure forward to lock it in. Maybe for Wilson. He looks a bit off the pace.

 

[Hubnester]

Well it feels like a round 1 game, just an awkward and rusty match so far.
Showed some glimpses at least.
Umpires have been woeful, commentators have been woeful... Ahh yep footy is back

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Still need to play smarter.

Wilson will learn form that utter **** up.

Need to keep up the aggressive play.

 

[Ekomaira]

Higgo will never get those paid again...needs to realise it.

I cringe every time. Hate how often he plays for it

 

[Otiman]

Who's everyones pick for sub?

 

[Diehard Saint]

For a Lyon coached team, it's a bloody poor defensive effort.

Maybe we’re missing Doogs afterall?
And Webster for sure. Stupid boy.

 

[beside the seaside]

Somehow we are still in it. Need to get on top of Holmes who is smashing us. Maybe swap Pou and Owens.

Intriguing game. Stressful though.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

We have been absolutely smashed and looked panicked. But good news is we’re only 2 goals behind. If we find some confidence in the midfields and break even we’re a chance.

 

[saintbill]

2 non finalists playing tonight

 

[Otiman]

Maybe we’re missing Doogs afterall?
And Webster for sure. Stupid boy.

Webster, Howard, Sinclair - there's your backline leadership hole.

 

[SteeleSaints]

MIDFIELD???

Whats the f....n point of attracting new talent if we are not going to rotate them through the midfield.

Bruhn is killing our slow mids and we keep going to same slow inept players as we did last year. Really poor coaching IMO.

Who is playing on Dempsey?

So much for us being a quick team we look exactly the opposite.

 

[Jezzarayman]

Our midfield is very flat footed tonight coming off worst clearance team from last year. Need to give Owens, Stocker a run in there or something. Pou not ready. Seb / Crouch too slow. Need Sincs back asap.

 

[Off Stump 89]

Only positive is that I would suggest they're much closer to their best than we are. If we can be more competitive in the middle?? We might be a chance to work our way back into it. Steele's been good, Nas good, Skunk good.

Big second half coming up

[EddieMurphy]

I dunno what team is wearing our jumpers but it's like a Ratts era flashback. Bumbling fumbling outnumbered forward, mid and back.

 

[saint_]

A midfield of Steele, Ross, Crouch and Phillipou just has no speed at all. Got reamed against GWS in the final and losing out again. Shocked we are only 13 points down considering its 19 to 36 inside 50s.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Webster, Howard, Sinclair - there's your backline leadership hole.

True!
How the hell did I forget Sincs

 

[saintbill]

RTB will get em reset at the half boss. We haven’t left third gear.

Don't have the cattle. Ross and Steele mid combo is just diabolical. Sinclair must play midfield when he returns. Retire Ross immediately.

 

[Saintbloke]

Wilson needs to be forward of centre, midfield needs a spray- too far from the drop of the ball at centre bounces. One of the midfield need to be subbed off- we are losing the game in there

 

[Otiman]

2 non finalists playing tonight

Yes even if we win, we are in the bottom half of performances this round (plus round 0)

 

[gringo2011]

Maybe we’re missing Doogs afterall?
And Webster for sure. Stupid boy.

Battle looks rusty and missing Sinclair's run. Thought Cordy looked good early but seems to have dropped away.

 

[jwikked]

Who's everyones pick for sub?

Has Wilson touched the ball?

 

[DougalHoward]

Take Higgins off put on Collard

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Too many not doing a lot. Needs to change in the second half.

Besides that there’s one other thing I noticed.

If Kid Rock’s Joe Dirt character cloned himself, then transitioned his clone, then impregnated his shallow gene pool clone and that inbred clone gave birth….



…the offspring would look exactly like Ollie Dempsey.

 

[Diehard Saint]

So when does Ross sub.
And who?
Higgins?

 

[Sully111]

I want to see Owens causing carnage in the middle

Crouch is off it

I'm worried about the mental capacity of Joel Selwood, Jobe Watson and Jack Riewoldt's stylist
