Game Day Round 9, 2022: St.Kilda v Geelong

[my name was taken]

Deliberate doesn't exist unless you play for st kilda, we get pinged every week

 

[Hayes4PM]

Battle what the ****. He had an easy short kick and just hoofs it up in the air. **** me…

 

[Plugger35]

Got to keep the pressure up.

They are cracking.

 

[Saintbloke]

Battle needs to start hitting targets with his kicking

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

and don't forget to handball it really high in the air

Give it hang time so the recipient gets their ribs crunched reaching for it

 

[Mowman]

Higgins is lazy or unfit maybe both

 

[Verdun66]

Clubs do oppo analysis, us, we've had HFF issues for around 20 years, it's kinda obvious to stack the HBF and propel forward to torch us more often than not.

Less coaching on game day for mine, more on we legit miss a CHF as Members is not it and never has been. It's why Sharman looks good, it's why we try Wood, it's why we tried Mckernan and Marsh, why Battle was brought to the club originally, they're all "leading" forward types that lead to good locations and kicked over zones v Members "take 5" approach of assessing everything and then questioning it to a long bomb approach.

It's club focusing on wrong aspect since they tried to stack the forwards so it wouldn't matter at the detriment to the mids and then "oh, we need that guy to break lines in mid, oh, we need that support for Steele in mid, oh we need that point of difference in mid, oh, we need A-Z in mid..." then became the questions instead of consistently being answered and altered.

Good points

I can't wait for the day when Hawkins and Selwood retire. I won't miss them one bit.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Poor choice of kick by Wood

 

[Confuscius]

How to beat St Kilda

1. Play a loose man behind the ball
2. Let us beat ourselves with bad kicks and bad decisions

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Why is he loose like that

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Dumb footy

 

[Hayes4PM]

Man we look like dog shit

 

[MrFoster]

Also most of our switch plays are pointless, just slow play back to the same position on the other flank. Sometimes in a worse position. What does Ratten do in the coaching box? I’m sorry, this is not the sign of a good team.. we will be lucky to make the 8

 

[Saintbloke]

Looks like another cr*p midfield effort for three games in a row- defensive game is shot.

 

[Munga]

Poor, soft by Howard

 

[jwikked]

It's like Geelong are playing with 5 extra players. Every single spot around the ground they've got a spare guy there. They double team us every contest, but still somehow have a spare few players floating around on their own to do whatever they want.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

I reckon if we keep allowing a spare mid out the back at every contest it’ll eventually play in our favour…

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Poor, soft by Howard

That’s Howard’s fault is it hahaha

 

[Plugger35]

Geelong punish us for our turnovers.

If only we could do the same to them.

 

[Mowman]

Can get it out of defensive 50

Lucky to make the 8

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Jones has no chemistry in the middle right now

 

[jwikked]

Where was the ARC review in 2009 for crying out loud

 

[jwikked]

Kicked it to a 5 on 1 and somehow Max took the mark

 

[Munga]

That’s Howard’s fault is it hahaha

He shouldn't be in that position in the first place. But he was, and he was soft.
