Ready for tomorrow. I'll be there, but I'm not expecting a win.
Poor ball use has cost us 2 or 3 shots on goal already, we force turnovers and waste it.
Young not good enough, much bigger than his opponent and just drops the pill like a hot potato when he should easily absorb the tackle.
We are slaughtering the footy, unforced errors.
Tough watching them make hard work of it
The worst is our goal kicking. Those 3 by durdin, acres and Kennedy are the sort of chances you can't squander and expect to win.
Luckily they had a couple repay the favour.
Playing ok just breaking down up forward and missing some chances. Some scoreboard pressure will see us break this game open imo and the Saints will fold up.
Just have to take our chances when we get a shot inside 30. Should be a few goals up.
Is the toss lyon game plan about boreing your opponent into submission?
Not sure what to make of this so far.
Would help.if the umpires would pay the mark when we take one too. Acres at half back.
Marshall takes him out after he's completed the mark, play on.
8 free kicks to 1 saints favour...
Every time i see lyons big head on the screen i want to throw something at it.
We are crowding the full forward position
4 or 5 blokes flying together.
Kemp is one of our better marks.
Clear out and give hims some space.
Rigged
The umpiring is beyond disgraceful
Can't buy a free kick.....9-1 >:(
11-1 commentators think it's funny
Make that 12-1.....gotta be kidding.
Frees 1 - 12 saints favour
What are we doing so wrong?
Playing behind our opponents is one thing we're doing wrong.
Cripps's timing with his disposal is just a fraction off...no doubt the pressure on him.
Tell us again how much Motlop contributes? 🤷♂️
No touches in the first half.
Add to that Fantasia…. Gives away two free kicks with his first involvements.
Tactical sub to get Moir on.
In fairness the umpiring is a complete mystery
Sorry to say it, but if we waste so much clear and open footy like that we do not deserve to win, it's that simple.
It's just footy basics not being executed, we kick 20m passes out of reach of our team-mates, you can't win AFL games doing that.
Blokes with no wrong side, blokes who hand out hospital passes, blokes who blaze away uncontrolled, blokes in clear space fumbling and falling over.
Just cant score and unless we do something out there its not going to change
I would swap weitering with kemp and also play cripps deep.
Need a forward target who can take a grab cause kemp is unable to do it this week.
Rather lose by 10 goals trying to win then leave it as it is and die a slow death.
Something has to change now while game is still within reach.
.
Its a rubbish standard game, we have been dragged back to their appalling level, we are a clearly a better team imo but just cant break free from this overcrowding of our forward line and without our marking KP Forwards we cant generate any method.
Umpiring is horrendous, lets hope they want to even up the frees in the second half....
Activate Moir, the seagulls aren't getting the job done.
Crippa has been well restrained so far. We need a way to free him up and get him to exert more influence on the game.
Agree. Just have to play him forward the second half.
A lot of people were negative on me and my opinion of owies. There was a play before which highlighted why he's in our best and why we all like him, bit why he shouldn't be a priority signing. He got the ball at Hugh half forward ran into 50, was taking on a man and decided to blaze away trying to score and it fell short because he isn't that quick and his opponent was about to catch hi. Uncontested mark to the saints.
Thats why he isn't a priority signing.
Nearing season over folks
Unless voss gets brave old mate lyon wont allow thus midget forward line kick a winning score.
Do it now voss. Give us a chance ffs
I'd be putting young forward, and subbing durdin off for moir
Lewis Young is an awful footballer.
Fantasia making a few eat humble pie
Crowd getting aggressive - horrible horrible game.
I cant take this 😩
Buddy if you throw enough punches in the dark you eventually hit something.
Our tackling machine with the stuffed shoulder C Durdin hasn't laid a tackle!! Maybe because he's got a stuffed shoulder!!!!
Gutsy effort with a bunch of kids and second stringers. And no talls. Shame about Kemp.
Don't take your chances, you don't win. A few moments we'd love to have back there at the end.
Gutted - time to flick the cripples.
Yet another heartbreak
What happened to Kemp
And that's our year in a nutshell. From giving up 2 goals in red time against the Crows to the last 6-7 weeks. Just not good enough in the end.
Just like the AAMI ad, "shanked it."
Can't stand Higgins, but he takes his chances. What we lack.
Exceptional spirit and endeavour. That cannot be questioned.
Memories of 1971 and 2022?
Found a couple of rippers in Cooper Lord and Ashton Moir.
