[70s sainter]

Almost a third of the way into the season and still no momentum or continuity. More changes coming up against Roos and hawks . Is this whole season a pre season for 2025 ?

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

Teams are out. That's it, I'm going to training to have this out with RTB.

 

[malevu]

I quite like the idea of Cordy playing forward.......... for Sandy.

 

[The Jack]

That team is pretty bland. Don’t think we’ll hit 60 points. Hope I’m wrong but doubt I am.

Please don’t bring Hastie in and give him 20 minutes again. Not helping him or the team.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

It worked alright last year I suppose.
This is gonna be a very unpredictable Saints side.

I hope at least, they put Hastie straight into the action, instead of sitting on the bench for most of it, he's been stiff. Give Pou time on the pine.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Wow - now thats the sort of radical change I was expecting after last weeks game.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

So Cordy going forward ?

Hastie sub.

Fair enough, the problem last week wasn't who the players were, it was how they played.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

collard needs to be in this squad

 

[malevu]

We were all expecting (hoping) the ins would be King and Dow. Instead we got Howard and Hastie. If we can reduce the loss to less than last week I reckon that'll be a win

 

[Circus]

Hastie in and Sincs to the midfield, Howard at FB and Cordy to coach the forwards. That's radical!!

 

[DougalHoward]

I think we are underestimating the difference Doug will make

 

[beside the seaside]

Maybe they're moving Battle on ball

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

I just love? how Hill is having his best season for us & it is counting for naught, oh hangon, he is up for another contract.

 

[mufti15]

Looks like a very very young inexperienced team. I think about 10 wouldn't have played 100 games

 

[Plugger35]

Can't say I'm thrilled with those inclusions, we needed to get Howard back but if Cordy is still playing in defence we look too tall.

Hastie will probably be wasted as the sub again.

Hayes and Collard listed as emergencies, I would have liked to have seen at least one of them included to try and change it up.

Max is like Snags. Any game either could kick you 6 goals but both can equally suck all the energy out of the contest with their deflating misses and selfish sulky individual game. They are both like a coin toss as to which one you'll get on any given day.

Yeah it isn't ideal when our two main strikers are so unreliable in front of goal with set shots, Owens is equally as unreliable.

Memnrey is our most reliable set shot forward and even he has his bad days where he sprays them, it's frustrating to watch.

 

[Remboy]

Maybe they're moving Battle on ball

If he starts on ball you’ll know the tank is on.

 

[Rogue Warrior]

We seem too top heavy. Happy with Howard in but the coaching panel seriously underestimate the importance of pace and forward pressure in the 50. Far too many 3rd tall forwards. I hope Garcia plays forward. No one else will lay a tackle down there.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

There's going to be a left field positioning l know it, Battle to the forward line?????

 

[Cairnsman]

Its an exploration year

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Its an exploration year

That's pretty much how we've existed

 

[gringo2011]

Its an exploration year

Why can't we explore the stock market instead of doing ketamine and blowing dudes in a toilet cubical level exploration.

Watching the anzac game thing, it was pretty obvious how desperate Collingwood were to lock the ball into their forward 50, while we are "oops didn't mark that, its their kick on goal now ".

Fun is important.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

How basic of Lyon, we were poor in defence last week, so we'll bring in two defenders. Forget that the forward line can't kick enough goals & our kicking is shite to the aforementioned. FM

Exploration century (and a half).
