All ready for tomorrow night. I'll be at the game. Hopefully we can manage a better effort than last week.
Just want competitive effort
Saints players getting into Charlie
Here we go again
This looks ominous.
Early days , get the first on the board and let's see
Ed Curnover at his best.
When your senior players can't execute simple skills you're in trouble.
Nice one Daisy , good team goal
Kruzer in the rooms
Daisy!
Curnow in the ruck.
Bam Bam goes Bam
Fisher has started like a house on fire.
Gone for last 10 minutes and Charlie is rucking :o
What’s the go with Kruezer
Daisy conned free to Saints & goal
Why does Charlie ruck when we can use Jones or Rowe?
Fox reporting emergency Doc summoned to check Kruzer
Yes would rather see Rowe there
Yep, we need to reset at 1/4 time. I’d run Jones on the ball and push Marchbank back with SOJ
Effort is there running out off players , tough to see
Update on Kruzer at 1/2 time from Andy Mac guess that means he might be out for the night
Yep, Ritcho said he had the update on MK, then said effing nuthin and mumbled something about McKay at half time...dribbler
Doesn't sound positive though
Rowe to ruck with support from McKay
Jones on Marshall, Marchbank on Membrey with Shaw as support.
Keep Curnow forward!
We need to have an exorcism at Prince's park... Totally over these *+-$(?! injuries.
How’s polson tracking ::)
Garlett, Pickett, Silvagni, Poulson.... have they got changed yet??
This is rapidly turning into a true Blue Rabble like performance, there’s a lot of pr...s at the Aints I’d like to bop on the chin, #justsayin
How good was that from Harry? Pity it hit the post as it deserved a goal.
Loss of Kruzer kill us straight away, needed the second Ruck option
Nice goal Fisher
Next goal massive. They get it we're gone, we get it and we're back in it.
All over.
Just over whelmed take Kruzer out and house of cards fell down
Do the chopping the arms and holding the ball rule only apply one way??
We really are terrible, too many are invisible, nice goal Charlie though O0
Effort is there Goal Charlie
Cripps rucking?
Why not Rowe???
Just once I would like to see what we could do with out early injuries in a game that derail us so early
Gees if Jones had kicked that .....
Time to take scalps I reckon..
Cripps 91 supercoach already.
Kruzer hurt in the early tackle looks like , didn't look like much
At the game and word is fisher is injured? Anything said on tv
Commentary woeful...Umpiring worse.......in fact some of the worst inconsistent decisions I have seen....
Alan Richardson interview at 1/2 time, he looks like a f.....g genius, why did Mick give him the arse asap?
Even allowing for losing Kreuzer we are shocking, our skills are as bad as I've ever seen at the top level.
It's a long road we have ahead of us.
Umpires cruelling it. Some of those free kicks against are a dead set joke. Exhibit a - how was Dow’s tackle against Stevens rough. screwing joke
I'm enjoying looking at 5 players. Cripps. C.Curnow, Mckay, Fisher and Dow. All playing well. Then it stops.
Kruzer injury a bit of a mystery?
Absolutely. Several poor calls.
We can build a team around those five Jim, the rest are just list fill.
Blues news 2018.
Ruckman down. Second ruckman out for the season :-[
Jones has been good considering the pressure he's been under and the lack of support he's got from Rowe and Marchbank.
About half of our players have been invisible.
They look a class above most others we have.
McKay looked like Buddy with that run and shot for goal. Deserved a goal, not hitting the post.
As soon as we hesitate, it’s prior opp and holding the ball... they are allowed to have 3 or 4 spins in the tackle and nothin.... chopping the arms and on the backs also haven’t been all that consistent
That's why Kruddler's idea is worth looking at.
Fck me - shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat in consecutive games???
Krooz reported as shortness of breath. Not going to hospital, but out for the game ?
So hard to compete against anyone when your bottom 4-5 are so out of their league.
Polson has no clue at all. Pickett 1 touch. Jack stuff all.
Yeah I've got that too....
Add Garrett too. How bloody long do we keep persisting with him.
Our players are having nervous breakdowns!
Sorry Cyril, Bruce has moved on...
Supporters are as well
McKay running around on the ball is giving him some confidence.
Have liked O'Brien tonight taking the game on more than I have seen him before
Bad batch of caffeine tablets...
I nearly wanna trade SPS this year, at Pick 5, he gives us nothing really
Membrey grabs Rowe, then catches his head. But the mark is paid?
Straight swap - SPS for Cerra
20 Free kick to 9 against
19 to 9 free kick count????
Sick of Membery getting hold of us.
We have been screwed but they should have got another one against Rowe for that over the top aggression.
Umpires are really giving us a sad run tonight some strange decisions
Does membry kick goals against anyone else - or just made a career out of games against us?
Great coaching this.
SPS part of a trade for McGovern? Appalling umpiring, every week we loose a player early and are dead.
Nice interview by Ritcho with the fornicator ;)
About time the club goes hard at umpiring.... The cheats have one bad week and it's front page of the small paper but we get raped every week. Over it.
#freekickagainstcarlton
There’s been no toughness or physicality from our guys tonight, pretty Bambi like really :o
We're going to set a new record for holding the ball tonight
Hate to be a forward. Inside 50s 24 so far.
We seem well drilled at standing still in space and jogging slowly though
We could win the free kicks 50-0 and it wouldn't make a difference. Just give it back straight away.
Just let the season finish right now can’t take another game
Would’ve loved to have seen a replay of the Murphy one - to see if he got a foot to it, as it looked.. but, no way ch7 would do that
Yes, I wish we could forfeit the remaining games - out of sight..........
At the rate our injury list is growing we won't be able to field a team soon
Whining about the umpiring is lame even though it's been shabby, we've been done like a dinner.
Ed bleeds blue, but he really is a sh.t footballer, skills abysmal
McKay certainly didn't mind the contest there. Got clobbered everywhere and bounced straight up.
Any one fit here and wants a game call the club on Monday you might be needed
Murphy is the worst captain in the comp.
Simply does not impact games
It's a good thing the Saints have missed several sitters. Scoreline is bad enough as it is.
SOS and Andy Mac might get a call up.
Embarrassing, humiliating, mortifying, shameful, disconcerting.......
Obvious free kick, the umpiring has been almost as bad as our football.
Yep, simply awful. Its our biggest problem. Our few senior players are either quiet as a mouse or hacks or both. End curnow's skills are not league standard, nor arr Rowe, Jones or Thomas. Its a sorry looking list.
Consider this, who on our list would you say does have good skills?
It’s a joke isn’t
Obviously we don't need that priority pick
Bugger getting 100 points, I want to get 50 on a consistent basis.... By 3/4 time would be nice.
No pressure. No fight. No pride.
Very sad to watch this and I’m sorry but the coaching is as bad as it gets - how do we keep finding these charismatic under performers?
It’s funny how ch7 keep telling us how we are being slaughtered in the clearances, but haven’t mention Kreuzer once. If this was cheats fc and their rucks were out - we’d never hear the end of it
Ps - yes, skills are horrible!
We really don't even deserve the spoon. ::)
Confining this comment to our experienced players, pretty much none.
are they Kennedy’s first touches in an hour? Thought he was good early
We seem to have a lot of players who really don’t have an appetite for the contest - Weitering, Marchbank, SPS to name a few of the so called pool of talent coming through
Weitering has had a shocker, haven’t even sighted him... ????
At least we've confirmed that there's another spud on our list in Shaw but it shouldn't come as a surprise by now.
Not been the worst this week.
Which is do depressing I think I'm going drink more.
Been better than O'Shea and Mullet at least.
At least we kicked a goal this quarter.
Didn’t think we could lower the bar from lamb/Polson, but we’ve outdone ourselves with Shaw
How good is the Saints interviews by Richo
Ch7 scraping the barrel for ideas
Absolutely, no way either one should get a game ahead of him ever again, and that's saying something.....
We had shaw kicking out in the last quarter. Are we that disorganised that a first gamer does this?
Nighty night folks. Atrocious performance.
It's a sad state of affairs when a match highlight is just seeing SOJ hitting a torp while kicking it in from a behind.
It wasn't a compliment to Shaw.
Add him to the prestigious list of 1 game blue boys. Can have beer with Rhys palmers, Luke mitchel, Sean Charles and Scott Spaulding one day
How desperate are saints for relevance, that they allow their coaches and players to be interviewed during live play?
Post match is open folks move the discussion into there and we'll lock this one
