Game Day Round 23, 2023: St.Kilda v Geelong *HIGGINS 100TH*

[MrFoster]

These wasted opportunities are going to cost us this game.
Wait til we run out of legs and start getting pumped in the middle - we will slowly concede, and look back at all those chances we blundered.
Marshall, Hill, Higgins.
Our only accurate kick is now out, too.

Hill, Marshall, Higgins were never accurate kicks for goals. Our of the shots they took, only Higgin’s shot from 20 metres out should be a given. Having said that, we do need to lift, get it to Max and Butler if we can.

If Higgo, Hill or Roma took their opportunities we’d be closer to 4 goals than 3 and it would just “feel” a lot better. Worry those will hurt at the end

Higgins has psyched himself out. I remember last year that when he nailed his first goal he usually kicked a bag, miss and he'd shit the bed all night.

 

[The Jack]

Game should be over. Simple.

 

[bird_man]

I'd like to see Owens attend more centre bounces, forward line with King, Sharman and Membrey is tall enough, get Owens point of difference into the middle more, push Pou into the forward line if necessary

Saw it a fair but last week but it looks like he's been asked to play second ruck again

 

[St Kilda Death]

Free kicks 15 to 3!

I counted about 25 - 2

Can’t pay deliberate on a kick i50

 

[Ads734]

Are we gonna talk about that Sharman deliberate

 

[The Jack]

Pretty sure we’ve missed our last 4 set shots. Maybe 5 of the last 6. It WILL cost us.

 

[Saintbloke]

The forwards just need to nail some of those goals- can't afford to have a good team like Geelong get a sniff.

 

[Simon Templar]

Yeah Derm is spot on in that we should be murdering them, is what is frustrating and why no one really rates us IMO.

Every Saints game I watch I'm frustrated.. That's our MO

 

[g_TRAIN]

C'mon, saints!

Geelong will change it up a bit in the second half, we will need to be prepared for whatever they try.

 

[St Kilda Death]

Are we gonna talk about that Sharman deliberate

Are we gonna talk about no free on a deliberate rushed behind?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We need better shots for the forwards.

A lot are being taken from 45 plus

 

[bergholt]

If Sharman doesn't come back and Hill's injury hampers him after half time then we're going to be up against it the second half

 

[The Cobra]

Pou looks completely lost - that’s the price you have to pay to pump games into kids who probably should be rested.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Sharman Achilles?

Same as in 1912 I think

We make hard work of everything

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

It's just like the Carlton game, should have put it to bed by 1/2 time... hopefully a different result this time

 

[Premium]

As long as the keeping getting the ball out of the middle we will win - with 6-6-6 it gives the forwards a good chance.

 

[Premium]

Need to win this quarter and the lead bigger.

 

[Saintbloke]

I just want to see Crouch, Steel and Clark get into the next gear in the third quarter- that's where we win or lose

Nah, we have mid this match, Blues game we were working from D50 a lot. You know there's a problem when we are actually up in clearances.

 

[The Jack]

Reckon we’re going ok tbh.

He's better in there as a starting mid, l reckon Ro rucking and Owens as a mid on a Guthrie or Atkins, let them panic a bit.

 

[EconomicDecline]

Sharman is in the huddle. So looks like he should be alright

 

[EconomicDecline]

And going forward as well. Not bench
