Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 12 2018

[Sainter_Dad]

Arethere any positives from tonight)

Battle

[stonecold]

HAHAHAHA that sums up everything

What does?

Gresham trying to snap from the goalsquare, somehow managing to kick backwards away from goal. Paddy marks the ball which went about 10m and kicks a point from the goalsquare. Just a comedy of errors that summed our season.

Number one draft pick right there

I know I’m going to get killed for this, but I’m not too unhappy with Paddy’s game tonight. Should have kicked 4, just like the whole team should have kicked 13.6, not 6.13

Won't get killed from me on this one, Paddy has been OK!!!!!

[shrodes]

Pity next week is at Metricon, would have been nice to see another win live in Melbourne.

Gold Coast didn’t take a single mark inside 50 today, so I am pencilling us in for a W

Paddy should play up the field as a link man for a while

Am really having a go at Elshaug. The whole steaming pile that is Richardson and Elshaug need to be moved on. Epic fail.

[Con Gorozidis]

Josh Battle already a better player than McCartin.

He is only 19 years old.

[st.byron]

Happy days. Back in he mid 50’s

[Con Gorozidis]

Battle
Clark
Coffield
Rice
Long
Phillips
Gresham
Austin
Steele
Dunstan

That is 10 good young players we can start to build a decent squad around.
Year ONE of a new re-build.

Sack
Richo and all his Assistants

Trade
Steven
Dunstan

Delist
Lonie
Weller
Longer
Gilbert
Pierce
Minchington
Wright
Savage

Happy to give Steven some slack but one bad game and you want to trade him.

Seriously

1 game really, he is our turnover king

[shrodes]

Richo went back to the box at some point in the 3rd I think, was that the first time he’s done that since the boundary coaching experiment?

Fearing for his safety out in the open!

[elizabethr]

Richardson will claim the positive of "winning "the last quarter .
Could clearly see him riding it home in the box.
Even though the Swans virtually put the cue in the rack.

Yep. And why not?

His 'good bloke' & 'positive' persona has conned enough people along the way to give him 7 years of AFL senior coaching contracts and probably about $4 million.

Why not keep up the charade? If people are dumb enough to keep falling for it - that is their problem.

[The Fireman]

I don't feel well. Watching my side go this low is depressing ... can I sue the board ?

Agree - I would include Sinclair as well. is there any chance of recruiting Usain Bolt? A fair few to cull as well - we will never improve with some who are getting games - Savage, Weller , Lonie etc

We have the Usain Bolt of hamstring injuries in Freeza

Yep, your probably right I probably expect too much from him.

But we may have to think about moving him on as he’d have the most trade value, a bit like Dal and Goddard when they left.

In all seriousness, what did you expect?

[ace]

Like Longer would be doing any better. But it would help if he had some back up. The whole coaching staff need to go, as well as a lot of the administration.
Start with a new captain as well.

The problem is there is no talent to work with.
How about instead of the whole coaching staff going, we make the recruitment staff accountable.

Someone told Trout that guy McCartin is going to be a player, but Trout got the wrong brother.

[iwantmeseats]

What a disgraceful rabble.
No hopers.

Best thing tonight was learning that ‘shithouse’ doesn’t get censored.

In all seriousness..I did expect it ..but knowing an execution is coming doesn't soften the blow when it arrives... I mean wow..I can't remember a crap side as this. Admittedly my mem is failing and I did attend many games at moorabin but this is crap. I mean really bad football skills, poor coaching..f%$k all system and endevour ..I feel sick.

[desertsaint]

it's always worse after a decent performance the week before. it takes so little to forget how hopeless we are. we saw all this renewed optimism after the giants draw, and again after last week. some were even turning back to backing richo through this. cannot do. we are lost and bogged in the swamps of despair and he drove the bus there.
