Periphery posted:That was one of the worst games of footy I've ever seen the Saints play. The skills were non-existent, the contested ball was loving weak as piss (lost the count by 31!), and we were completely unorganized all over the ground. loving pathetic and if we keep playing like this we'll be hard pressed to win more than 5 games for the season. I think that literally was the worst match Ive seen, at least live. Ive seen us get smashed before in the spoon years, even against Essendon last year but at those where when we were garbage or against at least a reasonable team. What we showed yesterday was a complete breakdown of mental fortitude. Just about all those players have shown before how good they can play and about four of them brought it with them. I really have no loving idea.

thepokey posted:Essendon 13th, which honestly is probably about where we’ll be at the end of the year too. Those media folk who were touting us at top 4-6 were mad. Knew it at the time, you can hype Stringer, Smith, and Saad all you like, and to be fair, Smith has started real well. But without those actual good inside mids, and a steady defence (I hear that Hooker guy is a decent defender) then it’s a giant wet fart of a year Why the hell is Worsfold trying to turn Stringer into an inside mid? Being similarly built to Bontompelli doesnt make him a midfielder despite splitting some time there from the forward line.

thepokey posted:Honestly I don't think even they really believe it. I think its a case of "we know we absolutely don't have the right people for the job, so if we say we're trying something new and giving it a shot that might buy us some time to find someone next time/looks better than admitting we don't have the right team yet". Perhaps they should have drafted someone who CAN play inside midfield instead of trading for someone who just plays inside mid-teens?

Lets just make the grounds smaller as well.. say 120meters long and about 50 or so wide.. Perhaps remove the point posts so its easier to remember the scores.. actually making those sherrins is kind of a pain in the rear end as well so probably easier just to make it round... If we focus more on certain skills only we could increase it.. so perhaps no more handballs at all? Kicking only! Also tackling the man is pretty dangerous so maybe only with your feet.. and only at the ball.. yeah probably for the best. Whilst we're at it drinking some lead based paint sounds like a good idea too... whatya say boys?

drunkill posted:Thompson arrested, charged with 7 counts including trafficking Ice, and possession of LSD and ecstasy. I doubt it. His defence will be he was stood over by a bikie gang and feared for his life (possibly true) and will spill every bean about the guys he was dealing with. Still probably 3+ years though but I will be shocked if its even close to 10.

Periphery posted:So apart from Mark "Drug Dealer" Thompson, the other big discussion point at the moment is the quality of the game and what things could be done to improve it. While I'm always somewhat sceptical of these discussions when they come up, I did hear an interesting rule change suggested: Definitely has merits. In general the umps need to start rewarding tackling properly. The length of time players have to dispose of the ball borders on idiocy. If the initial tackle is sufficent to deny the player the abilty to correctly dispose it should be a free kick. I mean given enough time every player will be able to shrug a tackle at some point.

Thompson always was a bit weird, it could honestly have been just a dumb joke that was meant to be similar to "selling ice to eskimos" kind of thing.

hiddenmovement posted:This is the good bloke celebrity white guy narrative. If he was some no name from Craigeburn that had been beaten as a child and turned to drug dealing after he struggled to find work after dropping out of school, no one would have a scintilla of sympathy. But it's good bloke premiership coach Thommo so let's roll out the sympathy wagon in all the papers. People have sympathy for celebrities because they have knowledge of them as a person and their personality. You dont give a poo poo about Robbo the local meth dealer getting busted but his family and friends will absolutely sympathise with him.

Periphery posted:If I didn't think it was the coaches loving everything up, then I'd have to conclude that the rebuild has failed and that they should start again. But I have no idea how you'd do that. The Saints have been hoarding salary cap space for 4+ years and, from my understanding, are at the stage where they HAVE to spend it or they'll lose some of the bonus you get from underspending. But no big names would be stupid enough to come to the Saints, so what do you do? Offer massive overs for high draft pick Melbourne players that got drafted interstate and hope that you can shake some loose? Good luck with that if you are playing like poo poo - particularly when most of the interstate teams are looking half decent. I think we need to curb expectations about properly contesting for another year or two until the list is actually sitting in an area that statistically can be competitive. As for right now its a combination of two things, coaching structures are not being adhered to due to either them being bad in the first place or the players just not putting in the effort AND just a general lack of effort and confidence. The first one seems to really be only fixable with new coaches being brought in and the second I believe can only be fixed with psychologists coming in and literally sitting the players down and trying to get their head's switched back around the right way. We had 4 players today each with less then 10 games to their name. Thats going to be a hard sell no matter which way you go about it.

I just dont get what has happened to this team? Even if we were playing exactly as well as last year we should be competitive to 2/3rds of the teams out there. Currently we are just deplorable in almost every facet of the game. Yes we lost Roo and Montagna but that doesnt explain the complete breakdown across the board.hiddenmovement posted:I haven't played this year, I was under the impression that they had a full decent side and that I was surplus to requirements so I haven't put my hand up.
