Aw thanks cutieGood game Saints. You guys played well. Really well. Like, annoyingly good. I would not like to play you guys again in September.
They need deliveryWe have the potential in the forward half.
Still needs plenty of work. We have greenshoots who are inconsistent. The hope is with more footy the more consistent they will get.
Even if he had the best leading patterns ever from a forward our mids don't win it and they make terrible decisions and butcher it every time going forward.Calling to trade King is just crazy stuff. But he's not above criticism.
He really needs to work on his leading patterns. Everyone knows Gresh can't kick fullstop, let alone hit a target over 40m, so why didn't he lead up at the ball.
Has a tendency to demand the ball long instead of hitting up at the lead or getting up the ground. Doesn't need to be a maniac like Riewoldt but definitely needs to improve that part of his craft
never was on him, is not up to the standard and will get pushed out next week by and AFL standard player and will not play again.
No I don’t , you don’t think playing AFL with a Bing shoulder that needs surgery is a sign of mental strength?You don’t think cracking the shits and missing easy shots is an indication of mental fragility?
Fair enough, I hope you're rightYes I do. I’ve noticed a change in the last 12-18 months where I think he wants to be the man and plays like he wants it. I’ve seen him do it before. Is he coming off a shoulder, yes. He’s played 8 games this year after a bad shoulder injury.
Disagree that Crouch is a second string midfielder. He isn't flashy but he's clearly our best mid by a mile.The issues are known and its the midfield. Fans are upset that Steele and Crouch didn't perform in the last quarter, well who the * else should have? Crouch is a second-string midfielder (which is fine) and Steele the only proper elite mid we have and everyone cries if he doesn't win us the game.
Tonight isn't on Steele and it isn't on Crouch. It's on a list management team who have spent a decade refusing to draft pure midfielders with high picks.
Every now and then we lose a top side like we did tonight and a bunch of water boys want to delist anyone of value like they're supposed to win the game off their own boot every ******* week.
If you want to trade King you're dumb as dogshit. Tired of pretending you're not.
Unironically would pick Sharman over King right now.never was on him, is not up to the standard and will get pushed out next week by and AFL standard player and will not play again.
Caminiti just needs time to develop, Sharman is never going to make it, I'v been around the game long enough, pretty certain Sharman will be cut at seasons end.Bro what did he DO to you?
Look I get what you’re saying I just think he has shown the willingness to be ‘the man’ injuries this year have creeped him of that. Also his first few games his kicking was much better and his technique looks much better as well.Fair enough. I see him drop his bottom lip when he doesn’t get a ball over the top (instead of leading up at it) and miss a simple set shot that changes the momentum of the game.
He’s absolutely capable, don’t misunderstand what I’m saying, if anything that’s the more frustrating bit, he’s nearly there but I’m not sure if he’ll bridge the gap.
Should be worth a bit of money to the club. Always good when it's the other clubs fans paying us.On a positive was great to see GA full
Combine Saints 1st half (44) and Blues 2nd half (51?)… 95… and then combine the opposite 22+10 = 32…Good game Saints. You guys played well. Really well. Like, annoyingly good. I would not like to play you guys again in September.
nah that is silly talk, King just needs to get his attitude right, Sharman needs a lot more than that and will never be able to get what he needs.Unironically would pick Sharman over King right now.
We were smashed everywhere around the ground in that second half. Clearances, contested footy, and inside 50's.Not the coaches fault they ****ed up going inside 50 so much, at least 5 times I thought guarantee goal coming up and they they butcher it, we need a clean out and get better ball uses
Something that really annoys me about max is that his forward want to chase is non existent. They litterly walk the ball out if he doesn’t mark it. atleast with the hammer and Sharman you get 100% effort and commitment to the defensive side and it always comes to ground.Unironically would pick Sharman over King right now.
Hill is one of the worst players I've ever seen. he can do something brilliant & follows it up with a series of game losing clangers. He does it consistently
Definitely lack on field leadership when things start to go against us.It's not coaching since it happened at a break and they just lacked on field when game lifted, midfield was getting pantsed beforehand and more just piled on to break through so this was on the forwards, and primarily Butler was back to his DGAF best and did some unforgivable things in that F50.
Just would have been nice to have things when unexpected but this mob repeatedly shows that it's mentally not there, unable to lift, unable to take ownership and just unable to go with in those trenches. This game was on mids and forwards, they let down everyone defensively.
If I was in that list, I'd be very afraid.
Not merging with Carlton.Combine Saints 1st half (44) and Blues 2nd half (51?)… 95… and then combine the opposite 22+10 = 32…
Combine the teams and there’s a prem team in the making!
If he had better disposal, he'd just about have gotten 3 votes for that game. He was everywhere. All that effort for nothing-for all the gut running and strong marking, Mason Wood had some diabolical kicks, couldnt seem to make a good decision in the second half
