So we let a guy who hasnt kicked a goal all year kick 2 in 2 minutes... this is so poor. I hate st kilda i hate the dome

Again, we just fail to cover the outside. When they get it on the outside, we just watch them go. Nobody downfield seems to be able to see them coming.

After all this time, we still haven't worked out how to play them. Every other f'ing side has, we haven't.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb footy.

Now Roos is either gonna figure this out or we'll get smashed.

 

Bet he doesn't!!

nothing for Roos to figure out. the players have to just f**kin pull their heads out of each other's a55es & play with a bit of urgency. 2 tackles inside forward 50 is unacceptable ... world beaters one quarter, hacks the next. it's just so frustrating. 

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

Pathetic. 

Over handballing dumb footballers who could not score in a brothel with some one guiding them in.

seriously super dumb, even in the first quarter we over handball end but their pressure wasn't good enough.

when these coaches watch the tapes do they not see that we over use the ball and tell the players?

are our coaches dumb? Or is it the players? Or are both dumb?

Sick of watching us over handball until we turn it over or hack a kick forward because we have ran ourselves into trouble.

Its so predictable that you can pretty much write the script before the game has even started.

 

Omce again we need a leader to stand up, rarely happens, let's see if it happens today.

 

[The heart beats true 18,128]

Wow. That was the worst quarter of footy I've seen us play for a long time. 

Ive defended our coaching staff but twice they kicked the ball to a player coming off the bench  at kick ins and got goals from it. That's Jnr footy stuff.

[Juicebox 628]

Roos better be giving them a proper spray. Now is not the time for calm.

We really play dumb football.

 

The lack of front and square positioning at contested situations has cost as least four or five goals.

We're also committing a lot of extra numbers to the contest and leaving opponents free, which I thought we'd eradicated.

[frankie_d 1,471]

Just looking for the post from the last time we played. Something about Roo and McDonald and zones and hunt (Jetta) vs reiwold in marking contests and positioning at marking contests and zones and Riewold.

 

And McDonald.

 

[dazzledavey36 54,951]

Absolutely pathetic again.

Bernie Vince bombs it into a 1 v 5 saints  guys inside 50 which goes down the other end for a goal. Wake up Bernie you idiot.

If this club doesn't lobby hard for a bye following the Darwin game this will continue to happen.

Not tired, just stupid.

Love it. Was wondering how long it would take you.

Actually, we just look like badly skilled, unaware footballers.

Skills go down when you're tired, as does running. Notice how it seems like there's always more Saints than Dees?

 

[Webber 10,468]

Here's the thing, the Saints best is six or more goals better than ours, but inconsistency has killed their season. They also know that if they go hard at us, we'll melt like butter, and either overuse the ball more, or just bang away, both behaviours that they set up for and then burn us with quick hands and speed. As much as I hate it, they're just that much better than us, with the added ability of being able to make us look like schoolchildren. Steven, Armitage, Riewoldt, Montagna are also all better than any of our best players.

Maybe he should call on Goodwin to take over now!

I was free and a wee bit tempted to attend - so glad I didn't.

Stupid because tired. It's not complicated.

 

[Juicebox 628]

Jetta tracking at 78% DE is proof that that statistic is almost irrelevant 

[Age 485]

We simply cannot beat the saints. Simple as that. They are a better team all over the ground, have players who run into space and don't just jog around. The saints know that as soon as they put some pressure on we go to water and will smash us. Must be good going to a game knowing that there is no way can lose. This is how every saints supporter and player feels when they come to play us.

Tyson has done that with every disposal. 

He's slow, sloppy and dumb.

So frustrating how similar this is to last time. We just don't learn.

As I was saying

We could do with some creative Oliver handpasses right now.

Skills weren't there in the first minute mate.

Tell me Stu. Which Casey players would you bring in that would have made a difference in that quarter? Go on, name, say the top three that are tired and who you'd have instead.

I'd say that off the top of my head, I can think of three clangers for Harmes and Jetta each, in the first 15-20 minutes. That's not when you're tired and, if it is, then we've got bigger problems than shuffling a couple of blokes in from Casey.
