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

[Sippa]

Steven pass, Weller pass, savage pass and I think greshem having a go pass. I normally bag him for turnovers but geary gets a pass for his job on betts so far

Everyone else pathetic. Forwards get some leniency because I doubt Lockett would do anything with this ball movement and delivery

 

[CHBench]

Get well Soon Hugh! It been a sorry day, we have to show something...

The day is still salvageable. We need to learn to stop the bleeding, 70 point losses don't cut it anymore. Win a quarter and then win a half. Aim should be a 40pt loss.

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

So how many wins dud you have us at this stage of the season? My bet with the fixture we had it wasn't 4 but if it was it is you overating the list. It isn't the coaches fault. Havent heard his name on the media as an issue.

How are we tracking compared to our preseason thread predictions 'season in 4 week'?

 

[pebblesofsand]

It must said - we aren't a top side AND Jarryn Geary is a very good stopper.

 

[plugger66]

Not fussed about the win/loss columns. To be honest what i wanted to see this year was less floggings and evidence we are at least bridging the gap slightly between the better sides in the comp. It has gone the other way IMO, we had WAY more heart and effort last year.

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.

 

[mysainters]

Gears needs to stay on Betts IMO.

Agree with Weller and Membrey. Hard to feel any positive emotions when we're getting embarrassed like this but **** I love Mav. Gives his all every game, don't care about who has the most touches, this guy attacks every contest like it's his last.

I don't care about Betts.

It's statement time.

I hear Malthouse is free.

People it wouldn't matter if Alex Rance was back there . When the ball is coming in side 50 that many times at the speed of light there's nothing any defender in the Comp can do.

Rubbish. Dempster has barely won a one on one contest. He didn't connect with a handball which cost a goal, and on multiple times has had good positioning and stuffed up.

 

[Verdun66]

Ricciuto can't even say our name properly. Will keep watching (I'm like that), but the sound will go off.

We are terrible but the interstate free kick ratio is in operation. 13-4. Many there of course, but we don't seem to get the 50;50's. They do. And there was a clear 50 to Roo. I just don't understand why that would not be paid.

 

[bird_man]

I just hate it when we aren't competetive. Please bounce back.

 

[mad-saint-guy]

I think this game should be about be the end for Gilbert and Murdoch. Our athletic, long-kicking weapon in Murdoch has a total of two handballs in a half of footy when he's been playing in a very, very busy defensive half. And Gilbert hasn't played more than 5 good games in a season since 2010 - we'd get a similar return from Acres right now but at least he has the potential to learn and improve.

Im with you... The boys need to put there backs into it. We need grunt!

It's not just wins and losses.

Players are going backwards, actually many players are a shadow of their former selves.

I think the players to get better this year are senior guys, Membrey the only one outside of that, and you could argue he has had to wait too long for an opportunity.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Well... Er... Well... I'm here. And yes, well. Um. Yes.

 

[crasha301]

I want to see some fire in the belly!! Crows have won so lets make them earn it at least.

 

[Joffaboy]

Sorry but why is it soft not acting like a kid who has lost his favourite toy. I would suggest the soft ones are those who haven't lived through many years of terrible footy and now act like kids.

Yeah its isnt like we arent all not dissapointed over this terrible performance.
I love someone who unlike you and me wont accept mediocrity though

 

[wolfpup]

hmmm.

disappointing interstate again. i dont want this to blow out, allowing a team to have 22 scoring shots until half time is terribad.

hope we can salvage something out of this.

 

[plugger66]

Todays game is a perfect example of the importance of outside run over clearances and contested ball IMO of course. We have no outside run and Adelaide have it all.

 

[Choomah]

gilbert out bloke is cooked as ****

 

[gringo2011]

Well... Er... Well... I'm here. And yes, well. Um. Yes.

Thanks for flying the flag anyway Perse. These are the games that build internal fortitude.

 

[Defacto]

spot on. couldnt agree more. backline is holding up remarkably well IMO very hard for a young KPD like hugh to perform and learn under that shite

 

[StKing11]

Bontempelli youngest winning captain in vfl afl history.

And what does that have to do with Saints vs Crows? Go post about it on the Dogs board, no one gives a f***

So we have won 4 out of 11 with a hard draw and players are going backwards. Can you explain how that can be a achieved because I don't get it. And why do they only go backwards in the weeks we get thrashed? Didn't read any of that in the previous 2 weeks.

 

[plugger69]

Serious questions need to be asked of Richardson. Our young players have gone backwards， first quarter blow outs，poor game plan.

 

[BrianSpeaking]

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.
