Game Day St Kilda v Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval Sunday 4:40 PM

[SK_MD_#7]

I can accept losses..

But not ones where we just show no fight

 

[puppy_dog7]

Even the ****ing ball bounces their way every time.. Just not our day

 

[Noidenous]

Got 9 tips this week. Yay.

 

[Glen Buterol]

I am not saying Alan should be sacked.

However motivation and players being switched on is his responsibility.

Who is getting better under him?

Who of the kids is blossoming under his 'teacher of the kids' reputation?

I see kids devoid of confidence, doubting their ability, it's a disaster really

Bingo

 

[Sippa]

Not sure why the hissy fits? We are rebuilding and getting games into young blokes. There will be ups and downs, we will beat Carlton next week.

What young blokes are we getting games into tonight? I reckon only Goddard and gresh fall in that category..

How many wins did you think we would have at this stage of the year. Its a simple question and rather important if you are to argue that maybe Richo cant coach.

Plugger do u actually read other peoples posts properly? I just told u why the win/loss column was not the relevant question IMO. Also, again i did not say the words he cant coach. I will say it again because u are obviously not reading posts probably, i said the list is underperforming under Richo and it is about time it started to get discussed. This does not mean sack the coach, it is a question now of what is his plan to address some of the obvious areas we are being spanked in week in week out.

You obviously need a number of wins because your ability to read and comprehend other posts is limited so here it is, i would have had us at 3 wins at this stage of the year. U will say this is evidence that i am wrong and that i should be happy but again the win loss is irrelevant to me. The extra win comes from freo unexpectantly becoming terrible. The thrashings however are far too frequent and concerning.

Looks like Geary is on Sloane

 

[Joffaboy]

Forgot Hickey and Gresham as well

 

[Roadto2018]

whenever we get a quick clearing ball out we seem to mung the kick and it goes no where, whereas they seem to be able to strike it well and get good distance and direction, is it a composure thing? Experience or hardness? Or just a genuine lack of ability?

I doubt that. Carlton will be be extremely confident. Unfortuantely our down days are appalling.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Shinner looking very stiff and sore.

 

[austinnn]

From what I've seen today, I've liked Geary, Weller, Savage, Membrey, McCartin, and Ross, Steven and Roo have been alright too.

Roberton, Armo, Hickey, Bruce, Montagna, Gilbert, Webster, Billings, Murdoch, etc have a half of a game to salvage their reputation a little.

 

[Joffaboy]

And the slaughter continues.
Thank god I accept mediocrity

 

[BrianSpeaking]

More than half the team.

 

[Defacto]

More than half the team.

name them...

 

[plugger69]

Funny how people start bagging the coach when we are losing. You know what? He is a sensational bloke and brilliant coach, he just doesn't have the cattle to compete with a ravenous Adelaide playing in front of their home crowd. It's typical St Kilda to start blaming the coach.

Whether or not he is a sensational bloke is irrelevant to his coaching ability. Performances like these should not be accepted regardless of where we play. However performances like these have been too common. Richo needs to take some responsibility for this....

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Familiar pattern. We get the ball to half forward, Adelaide win back the ball on the back of our slow, sloppy disposal and their superior numbers and then work the ball pressure free through the middle and deliver to a leading forward.

 

[SK_MD_#7]

Time for Richo to get some attention imo, I like the bloke but cmon.

He has 1 or 2 more wins than Leppa who started their career the same time, yet he's get a lot of heat.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Really slippery out there. The dew has come in heavy.

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Looks like Lee and Roberton are our FB and CHB next week

 

[Impatient Saint]

Insipid - pathetic - soft and another example of a team with poor belief or affective systems.

 

[MightySaint]

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. We have no midfield, what is there is not AFL standard in terms of contested ball or disposal. We are a million miles away.

 

[Joffaboy]

Lol SACK THE COACH

 

[austinnn]

I don't rate him to be honest. He's suppose to be a gun developer however a number of players have regressed, he lacks versatility & tactical nouse & makes weird selections / match ups. Calling it now, he'll be gone by mid 2018. Just my opinion & nothing to do with our poor performance tonight.

Who replaces him?

It's pretty easy to see why we're are where we are, we contended for 10 years and had no real access to draft picks. We traded out a lot of talent and are now getting games into them, and still need too end talent to come through the door.
It's the system working like it's meant too. Where are Collingwood who won the 2010 GF?
