Can we reset at 1/2a come with purpose and a plan.

viney not inspiring in his walk off interview.  

‘Maybe come and play man on man. We win the 50/50 contests when we do.

He’s being played out of position.

He needs to be played as a forward or on a wing, not in the backline.

He has lost confidence Clint. He played down there last season and was a much better player. 

Season is done, cant believe it.

Chaplin at least needs to go.

 

Not sure it’s the backline that’s our biggest problem. How many Saints players have we hit with our i50 entries? Feels like 2012 watching some of that junk.


Spargo is a complete waste of space. Anyone who thinks he can play better than Jeffy is kidding themselves including our coach. Tom Mc is doing nothing down forward. Move him back FFS.

Troy ChAplin needs to be held to account. Our backline has gone backwards since he took over from Rawlings. How is this guy getting paid?

Chaplin the [censored] spud, get him out of the club.

Do our players just not know when to run forward and when to push back to defend??

Exactly what the Saints are doing to perfection. They understand their gameplan. We don't

 

Four goals in a half against St Kilda on our 'home ground' in perfect conditions.

Still no system going inside 50.   Too many dumb players, and coaches.

No OMac, no Melbourne. I blame the haters. 


The most putrid thing about this club is the lack of learning. We play the same game on repeat every week. The opposition simply doesn't matter. We have a hell of a lot of dumb at our club

Spargo is a primary schoolboy

Petracca is a prima Donna

Melksham is useless

McDonald is unsighted

Weideman is hopeless 

The Wagners are amateurs

Jetta and Hibberd are liabilities 

Lewis is dumb

In their defense, 3 of the expected first picked back 6 currently aren't playing.

would make no difference

This is everything going wrong that you could have expected. 

Terrible kicking going inside 50, marking forwards who can’t take a mark and no crumbers when it hits the deck. 

They’re spreading the ground wide, using the wings and overlap run off half back, and our zone is breaking down completely. 

Neither Jones nor Lewis are suited to the wing but despite that they’re there and they’re giving us nothing. 

And we can’t stop them scoring when they go inside. 

So far, it looks like last week we benefited from the smaller SCG more so than we improved or fixed anything. 

Oh, and Hibberd is a shadow of his former self and makes more mistakes than anyone except maybe Spargo. 


Petracca misses from 20 out straight in front dry day. Totally unacceptable.

Harmes misses 2 passes and then Spargo does same and Saints kick 3 goals. 

What do these guys do at training, because they can’t kick a footy?

I'm going to say it again. The issue is our inability to hit targets in the forward 50. This game is being played in our forward half. We get entry after entry after entry until eventually the saints manage to run it out and get out the back of our zone, then they can run into an uncontested goal. If we were hitting targets in our 50 they would never get the chance to rebound like that and the threat of us scoring would force them to be more accountable and not break early into space.

I’m at the game and can not believe how slow Sam Weiderman is. Don’t think I have sighted Tom Mac. I think the umpiring has been pathetic. I haven’t understood most of the decisions.

I’m here too Jane.  The bar is the place to be atm

They’re ordinary; we are worse

12 years of being atrocious, one good year last year, now back to being ordinary 

Most frustrating side to support 


Harmes missed two easy kicks in a row the second cost us a shot on goal

spargo 2 mins later missed an easy kick which would have resulted in a shot at goal.

 

Our coaching staff definitely didnt watch the St Kilda Hawthorn game last week.  Anyone with a brain could see how the Saints played and how to counter it.

We had better have a big 2nd half cos that was pathetic.

Time to get Fritsch out of defence. Experiment is failing

On the wing to replace Old Man Lewis.  Salem on the other to replace Chunk.

Why are we playing 2 old men on both wings??  Death wish Goody?????????????

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
