Game Day Round 18, 2023: Gold Coast v St.Kilda *PERIS DEBUT*

[True Blue Saint]

Inside 50 - Kick to a 4 v 6. Hope for the best. Rinse and repeat. Nobody leads, nobody presents an option - disgusting footy.

Midfield - Absolutely horrendous defensive running. Blow it up and start again

 

[Sully111]

Tired of Lyon's excuses in his press conferences. When is he going to man up and be real about where we are at? Cuddly Ross can GTFO as far as I'm concerned. I want him to rip in and set standards.
And if he doesn't start placing value on skills, we're f*cked

 

[my name was taken]

Nwm on 19 disposals, lucky he signed when we looked okay, would have his bags packed already if he held out

Might still want a trade who knows

 

[chris_h_11]

To be fair he's playing with both arms tied behind his back. Our midfield is awful. No skill, depth or quality

I don't cop that, it's pretty much the same personel from last year and we are certainly worse. The job of the coach is to make that mid group perform better than the sum of its parts, that hasn't happened this year.

 

[Saint Shags]

Need to get Hunter Clarke in now. No point waiting until 5 minutes before the end of the third quarter or whenever the sports scientists think is the optimal time. He could be the difference we need to get something happening.

Take out one of the blokes not achieving anything. Philippou or Caminiti

I'd take Pou out.
Hammer is at least competitive. Pou not so much today.

 

[gringo2011]

There isn’t an alternative

Yeah, no-one bothered to draft or trade for them. We delisted them faster than we stocked up on them.

 

[Hayes4PM]

I'm gonna whip myself up a hot milo on this shitty winter arvo of SAINTSFOOTY and go to my Happy Place (Paige Spiranac's instagram page), I would suggest you all do the same.

 

[EddieMurphy]

We will find out soon enough unfortunately…..

Plus another game against the Hawks juggernaut

 

[Verdun66]

We still might win this. But have been saying it for a while. We are some good trades and a couple of drafts away from having a really competitive side. We just don’t have the quality cattle. Ineptitude and some bad luck over the years the main contributors.

It wasn’t going to be fixed year one. And our injury list hasn’t helped. It has exposed quite a few kids to getting games which in the long term is a great thing.

Anyway….am ever hopeful for the second half.

I'm still waiting for these supposed ****ing standards that he was going to set.
All I see are excuses and Mulligan's at present. And **** I want to believe

 

[StFly]

Also, I'm noticing on my end that the Foxtel app seems to be muting adverts randomly for some reason, it's kinda odd. I'm assuming the Foxtel second string are much like us and have NFI what they are doing.

 

[Ads734]

Truth is often hard to comprehend

Nah mate it’s called getting too emotional and not being able to comprehend that one poor game does not eradicate the performance. Hence I said might be good to take arvo off.

 

[The Jack]

Melt away. We deserve to. No one deserves to deal with this shit.

We have dealt with for 95% of my 55 years and apparently we were worse before that bat one year.

Enough is enough. Why do we come back every week? Seriously.

Same shit as last year. A bit of injury hits and we don't have depth, the quality of what we have can compete if they try really hard but aren't top shelf. Even then we are vulnerable to one or two injuries, as soon as depth is tested we collapse.

 

[Veer Right]

I love Lenny Hayes, a Saints great, gave everything to the club in his playing career.......but......I see nothing that suggests he's a good coach. Our midfield has undoubtedly gone backwards, as a group and individually. All of our poor performances this year have come from getting smashed in the middle.

RTB controls all. He's the one who continues to play so called footballers like Howard. He's the one who picked Perris today. Actually looked ok but NOT what the team needed to win today. It ALL rests on Rosses shoulders.

A good example is Phillipou who has looked overawed time and time again. Ross loves him and he has a gold pass.

 

[my name was taken]

Can we drop gresham to keep Peris in the side. Sad that Peris is looking so much more useful than the 'game changer'

Well one things for sure if they bring hunter on and that's the missed handballs will keep up with their world record form for misses

 

[Jade Buddha]

We lack skill so it’s pretty much chaos ball without the intensity or intent.

Sweet angel energy

 

[George]

Mate you nailed it when he got appointed - and copped s**t for it too.

I’m sure you’re not happy about it either, but it’s clear now it was the completely wrong appointment for what this list needed and for where the AFL is going as a sport tactics-wise.

2 goals in a half.

We are in for a world of pain. Ross can’t and won’t change, his style of footy is a busted flush and has been for years.

Dumb football club and board.

I was surprised why most others couldn't see it. The guy was in real estate ffs. Bassat has no ****ing clue been saying it for ages.

Why we didn't throw the kitchen sink at someone like Nigel Lappin baffles me. Ideal coach, just coming off a premiership and 20+ years of winning programs as a player and coach. 5 flags.

People tried telling me it wasn't a boys club when I was questioning why all of a sudden we had Lyon Hayes Harvey Goddard Silvagni Misson back at the club LOL.

Ross would be defying history to take us to a premiership this time around. Nobody since Blight in 97 has won a flag after failing as a coach the first time. Everything was stacked against us from the beginning yet Bassat knows best so all good

 

[Dard Ball Get]

What underperforms more, us or Kayo?

You all dislike Footy

 

[kyrgios]

Suns playing much better but we are only 3 and a bit goals down.
