It'd be nice if we could, at the very least, keep all our defenders on the park at once :(

Gee you reckon we might have focused on not letting teams getting a run on of unanswered goals seeing as it happens every loving week.

Welcome to the impotent sieve that is St Kilda's forward line.

They get plenty of the ball but all they do is run and bomb it to packs. Unless they have the opportunity to handball into pressure.

You would have thought that after half a season observing the complete failure of bombing it long inside 50 we would have figured out that it isn't working and would have changed it. But apparently we are coached by the dumbest bunch of mother fuckers to ever encounter the sport of Aussie Rules Football.

I don't think it's nice, you laughing.
We are a stupid and lazy football team. The lack of run on turnover is damning, the fact we just bomb it on top of our forwards is just so stupid. Our midfield work is fine, even good at times but we just completely and utterly waste it on that final kick into our forward 50. WHY THE gently caress do we still have assistant coaches who teach this poo poo? WHY?

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

As punishment for my sins in some former life, the only game of football I managed to watch last week was GWS murdering the Suns, and the only game of footy I will see this week is the Saints v Suns game happening now.

I am watching on delay, and there was just a period of play where the ball went end to end without a Saint within a bulls roar of the ball let alone their man. It is amazing that they are making the Suns look good, given last week Gold Coast were insanely awful.

To summarise, I agree with everyone above me who has spoken the simple truth: Saints bad.

I can’t understand why saints were going in as favourites for this match (or realistically any match for the rest of the season other than maybe Carlton)

Also Carlton and freo both won 2 quarters each so seems like it was an even match

I wonder how many Saints players considering an exit from the team right now.

They were coming up against a side that hasnt won a quarter in like a month or some poo poo

BTW nutsngum we are coming up against the Monash Gryphons next week in what will likely be our only chance at a win all year, what with them being nearly as bad as us and all

At this point we may as well start the whole rebuild from scratch anyway so unless it's a player under the age of 24 then I'd happily let them go. There's no point in having Carlisle, Steven, Roberton, Armitage, Geary, Brown, Hickey cause none of them will be around by the time we unfuck this poo poo and none of them are amazing leaders (apart from maybe Gears).

Burn it all down and start over again. Bring in a few old heads from actually good clubs to help build a not poo poo club.

E: Add Weller, Gilbert and Savage to that list.

I can't even think of anyone who could realistically come in and unfuck this poo poo in a reasonable time frame given like The Suns were only able to get Stewart Dew into the top job.

I mean, there might be some better assistants we can bring in, but I reckon it's gonna take quite a while to get back to even threatening to play finals. Too much work to do.

I'm a bit more worried about younger players getting sick of it and requesting a trade. Billings, Paddy, Sinclair, Acres and Ross would attract interest, not currently demand a high price and probably go on to play good to great footy in a better team/system. That'd burn.

I was two numbers off the winning ticket in the door raffle for a guernsey signed by the playing group and presented by club legend John Nichols... if only I had of gotten into the function a minute earlier.

Rumours going around the past few weeks of Billings to Carlton... but perhaps todays performance by both teams will have averted that.
