How dumb are we?
Giant player gets ball
2 Saints players run at him
Leave the spare outside Giant
Ball flicks out
Off they go
It’s fckn dumb

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

There are too many players on our list who are not even close to AFL level

 

[hangdog]

The rule was introduced to stop players from sliding in with the knees and hitting player who was already first to the ball. Byrnes got there first and committed. The other guy was second, spectated and got rewarded

And they already had a rule for that. Rough Conduct. But the AFL can't help itself from destroying itself.

 

[Miha]

Can’t see us winning our next 2. Going to be a loooong season

 

[StFly]

The vocal minority I suspect haha. I think he goes alright too

Yeah he has obvious deficiency, but he's a bit like Geary in a sense of he's there, he contests, he wins more than he loses and it's just something to persist with as "maybe...".

 

[my name was taken]

Between the s**t goal kicking, poor passing execution or just playing 10metres behind direct opponents, I can't think of positives out of today.

Knowing our luck king has done his knee

This bird doing the commentary.
I don't mean to be rude.

But she is ******* horrendous.

 

[sauce_head]

I know Hill has turned it over a lot but at least he is trying. It’s becoming some of a spectacular game by him ATM!

 

[Plugger35]

Haha are you serious? You traded King in?

He had scored two tons and was on the bubble, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

To make it worse I traded Fyfe to him and he scored a ton last week, if he scores another one tonight I might look at trading him back in.

At least Steele and NWM have been good Saints picks for me.

It's the same s**t we saw under Richo and Ratten. Too many go into the contest and leave their opponents free.
We can talk about structures etc but we continue to see the same poor ball usage and the same poor decision making. It's as if no coach actually wants to look at that s**t. It's frustrating as *.

 

[MrFoster]

Bradley Hill is an enigma. Can run, can sometimes not kick well.

I think it’s our poor midfield and general poor skills / taxing and untrainable game plan that is making Brad Hill’s skill worse, he was a silky player at Hawthorn, even at Fremantle. Same as Bonner.. But in our team, everyone fumbles, can’t kick / handball cleanly to save themselves, your ability to execute is also impacted. People will say why can Sinclair kick well, he plays in a half back role where there’s space and has better physicality.

 

[topbillings]

I don't want to be alarmist, but how the injury occured feels typical of an ACL injury. Grabs the side of the knee with the trainers. I am officially worried.

He is trying to get run through the middle, the forward line is terrible

What a cursed day of football

That is the illustrious, the illuminate, the king of nails on chalkboard, miss Kelli "kill her career please" Underwood to you.

Jack Steele has roundly beaten a highly rated player. Marshall has beaten Briggs. Hugo has shown good energy. Owens has had some moments.

 

[jaza2003]

It's so incredibly frustrating. We will never be a good team, just an average 8-15 team.

 

[Teflon]

Where is Steele?? Surely joking

Centre clearance surely not

 

[Joffaboy]

The AFL has destroyed our season with this draw, multiple 5 day breaks, 7 grounds in 7 weeks, season over before it started.

Love to hear this week's excuse as to why people can't execute basic skills

 

[Speck]

Can’t see us winning our next 2. Going to be a loooong season

We can absolutely beat the Bulldogs.

Good sides don't blame the fixture.

"Wanganeen-Milera been the saints best player but he's only had 14 touches"

Nice one Token.

Hard to see Butler displacing Garcia.
