Autopsy Round 6, 2020: Fremantle v St.Kilda

[Grav]

Hate being kicked in the guts time & time again. So here is perfect time to make a statement without a huge overhaul. We lose Long (unfortunately) drop Ross & Hill, think Marshall needs a weeks rest & possibly time for a bit of Parker. Oh, FFS! Make schit load of changes, I’m sick of following losers.

 

[gringo2011]

I think both Parties need to take some blame.
The players effort was woeful after quarter time but there also didnt appear to be anything done from the coaches to change what was happening on the field.

What about Carlisle forward. It looked like genius at work. I don't know why we haven't tried it before.

 

[Roddy Grant]

Why are sides able to get such a roll on against us? Been an issue for years.

We’re shite.

Like a drug rehabbing patient who you think finally has beaten their demons and then they go off on another 3 day bender.

We should be honest like Nick Kyrgios and admit winning a trophy isn’t really our goal, takes a bit too much effort and commitment.

 

[CaptainRisky]

Sorry I’m pissed

Most saints supporters would be in the same boat , thats what they do to you

That's why you have a leadership team.

Compare our group to every single other leadership team in the league, and what they do when the chips are down, and you will find your answer

 

[CarnTheSAINTERS]

what’s good is we know at our best we are right in it. Unfortunately consistency and leadership have let us down. Ross has no excuses. Give Byrnes and bytel a run.

 

[Tom12]

I feel sick!!

Ross needs to go. Geary needs to retire. Now.
Marshall should have stood up today. Didn't.

Brad was woeful. FFS - why DO WE LET WALTERS RUN RAMPANT EVERY TIME? NO ONE WENT NEAR THE GUY FOR 4 STRAIGHT QUARTERS

Thought Wilkie and Battle tried hard.

 

[Ducky Tie]

The one player I'll defend is Marshall. He was poor today, no question, but that's the first time he's really let us down as a ruck. He gets a free pass imo.

Yeah, I'm in punitive mode. Anyone who looked half arsed should get dropped.

 

[BrutThough]

Why about Carlisle forward. It looked like genius at work. I don't know why we haven't tried it before.

He could have at least been original and thrown Howard forward instead.

 

[Johnnyrayflamingo]

Yeah lets just accept a loss to Fremantle (who have been appalling all year) move on and look to next week......because we love all our players and they are the best. Go Sainters

What else do you do?
Give up for the year?
Analyse it and move on. Make big calls. Drop players. Get back on the train.

 

[Max the great]

Teach me mate. How do you learn how not to care? I need that

I'm not even mad... I'm so use to being let down by saints. Just one more punch in the gut. Don't even care anymore

 

[Saint12]

How can he be so safe marking in the backline but have trampoline hands in the forward line. Please can someone on this site who has actually played the game in the last 20 years explain this!!!

 

[Max the great]

3 day benders are more fun than watching that sh**. I'm about to prove it

We’re sh*te.

Like a drug rehabbing patient who you think finally has beaten their demons and then they go off on another 3 day bender.

[Wintle]

We need a Fyfe or someone that just grabs the game by the balls and carries the side along with it. Billings has come good but he's not the Bont or Dusty. Seb Ross I'm done with, him and Geary are not best 22 anymore. We aren't going to win a premiership with this list. We should play kids and see what we have. Last years injuries have given us half our side and uncovered some absolute gold that would never have got a game otherwise. We can do the hard yards now or artificially stay up in the middle with our ordinary talent. If we play Byrnes and Bytel we at least see what we need if they don't work out.

Absolutely agree. We need a Fyfe or a Martin and we haven't got one. Time for two young blokes Byrnes and Bytel to be given a shot at it.

Thanks for posting, I went to your profile and gave him a 5 pointer - banned for two weeks.

Happy to hand him out more too, if anyone has received a message from him let me know.

Cheers mate, legend

Cheers mate, legend

Anytime mate, sick of that clown too.

Easy. No one is punching up back

NO you rant and rave and swear and throw things for a day or two then do what you suggest

 

[Verdun66]

What do you call wholesale changes?
To me a on notice to the team change is dropping a Hill, Gresham, Billings. ...not Patton, Coffield or Marsh.

Wholesale changes would be 4-6. We might have a couple of forced changes, and someone like Ross. If we are still seeking 'connection', changing the team too much would be counter productive.

Very Pleasing

 

[Max the great]

I've never seen him that poor. But he has ability so I can forgive. Blokes like Ross and Kent have 1 good game every 5.
Kent looked good when we were winning.. absolute front runner. Should not be playing.

The one player I'll defend is Marshall. He was poor today, no question, but that's the first time he's really let us down as a ruck. He gets a free pass imo.

 

[Ducky Tie]

As tempting as it is to make stacks of changes, I don't think the people waiting in the wings are the answer. Get Byrnes and Bytel in. Webster too maybe.

Savage or Webster are the logical replacements for Long.

I’m not sure we need 2 first gamers. Bytel isn’t even going that well.
