Game Day St Kilda v Sydney Etihad Stadium 1:45 pm Rd 9 2017

[Saint Shags]

Nothing wrong with Paddy's game so far

He looks bloody dangerous when that ball is coming in. Just our delivery inside is hurting.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Come on Paddles

 

[dewah07]

DMac indecisive. Should have gone back and kicked over mark.

Why are we so keen to play on and risk opposition scores in junk time?

I reckon it was the right move wrong execution, he hesitated on his first option and then got caught

 

[aussierulesrules]

Pretty ordinary quarter of footy from us. Good sign that we're only a goal down though.

We need to do a better job of keeping the ball in our forward line and manning them up if they do get it out. They're finding loose men far too easily.

What happened to Mav?

 

[Michael Scarn]

Poor old dmac could not have been worse so far. Game is too quick for him

 

[DT_35]

McKenzie shocking.
Membrey just panicking with the ball. 2 kicks in a row where he just threw it on the boot.

Lucky to be this close

 

[hayes]

Step up from VFL to AFL getting the better of McKenzie.

 

[crasha301]

Membrey needs to do something to justify why he stayed in and Bruce was dropped. Don't care whether it's a tall vs a medium. He's playing very poorly at present.

The level is too quick for Paddy, bad call to drop Bruce.

Paddy is presenting well. If we actually kick it to him he'll be right.

Only drop 1.

 

[BillingsStar]

Really hope DMac has a good rest of the game.

 

[Grav]

We're winning clearances, just need to get it together & we've got this.
Expect a better 2nd quarter after Richo has had a chat with them.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Billings 6 contested possessions , Gilbert 7.

 

[my name was taken]

really missing Webster.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Disfunctional forward line and poor entry is killing us

 

[aussierulesrules]

Ross 12, Gilbo and Billings 8 each.

 

[crasha301]

How many games has dmac played? Let the kid find his feet before throwing him to the scrap yard.

 

[gringo2011]

Paddy is presenting well. If we actually kick it to him he'll be right.

Only drop 1.

That was the problem with Bruce too though.

 

[StFly]

Dmac is just a second and a half off the pace, hopefully picks it up in the 2nd as he's getting into right positions.

Team overall is playing a little bit too risky, need to slow it a bit when disposing freely to eliminate those slight misteps, slight miskicks and slight issues leading to turnovers.

We are however doing brilliantly in the clearance, giving Sydney a bath, they're just not all that clean in disposing to advantage as evidence by Ross, Steven Steel not nailing 1 kick really between them and Sinclair & Acres missing kicks and handballs.

Overall though, outside of the first 5-10mins, we've largely settled and if this keeps up and we clean up a bit, we'll end up getting reward for the effort, since Rooey is getting to it, Macca is getting to it, Membrey is getting to it and we are still getting ball to HF.

So F50 needs to clean up a bit better, Midfield need to ensure reward for the effort as they have the effort and are working, just fluffing the set up for reward atm.

 

[Sab22]

Can we please kick on the lead to Paddy. He looks dangerous on the lead.

Overall a average quarter for us. We need to lift and hopefully Newnes and Weller are OK

 

[austinnn]

**** me that kicking under hardly any pressure is piss poor

Hardly any pressure? Pressure is a lot higher than it has been in recent games.

 

[Quixote]

I reckon we can do this. That was cobwebs.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Paddy is presenting well. If we actually kick it to him he'll be right.

Only drop 1.

Yeah nah hasn't looked like getting one

 

[aussierulesrules]

We're leading the centre clearances 6-2 yet losing, which is poor.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Buddy on -1 goals at the moment. Just need to watch the smalls they're kicking all the goals for Sydney.

McKenzie a little rusty. I like his run. Needs to learn how to kick though.

Seb everywhere.

Billings flicked a switch a few weeks ago and I'm gad he did.

Gilbo been really good too.

 

[Kildonan]

Billings and Gilbert both massive
Carlisle also doing well
DMac needing to adjust to the pace and pressure
