Post match - Pies v. Saints. All comments.

[Johnson#26]

I really think it is time to use him as a crumbing forward, the way he started his career. Id rather a pacey player like rowe or johnson become the onballer and licuria and shaw can do the tagging jobs

I'd like to see that happen as well, especially seeing that we struggled to find goalkickers today. I'd like to see Caracella get a run in the midfield.

proud pies i have no idea because he ran off after been involved in a passage of play and i thought he had just been dragged. Then was with the huddle at 3 quarter time

[perthmagpie]

mmm said the trainers were working on his thumb at 3qtr time and MM came up to talk to him looking very concerned. Didn't hear him in the call after that.

[Proud Pies]

MM did mention in his interview that he came off with concussion but nothing else.

Well jonno if Holland was on ball the 2nd half, he was pittiful considering it was probably a good matchup for him. He is in shocking form, he is too slow for the middle and turned it over so often today. It was so irritating. He does some good work and does try hard. With modern day football, hard to see him getting the number 1 tagging jobs anymore considering teams are going all pace and no in and under. Licuria and burns are our preferable in and under players so holland should go forward as he plays taller than he is and is great at ground level.

Agree Premiers. With a bit of luck we could have been 3-3.

you are joking wake up and smell the coffee johno we are that far away its not funny all you people saying other wise have to wake up, we where shocking today the saints had 23 inside 50s in the 2nd term and only kick 7 goals very lucky i say not to be 8 goals down at half time. Our older players are good BUT not great they must sand up over the next few weeks to show they have the heart to keep us alive this year.

yer b&w blood, we do not deserve to be in the finals race any more, not after the last two performances. Injuries have cost us dearly but our efforts have not been great. I think im repeating myself here a bit, but just look at the impact one player jonathon brown made last night. Someone like Buckley or Rocca would help so much. But what can we do. Our depth is ok really considering the amount we have out, but was just no match. On paper, we are bottom 8 at the moment, maybe not last but definately bottom 8 and our performances have been nothing short of that.

Don't tell me we couldn't have been 3-3. Had we got a little luck, we'd be sitting in an ok position.

[black&white blood]

with a little luck i could of got 6 numbers in the lotto last night, the facts are we are 1-5 and in 16th place we are simply not good enough

[DaVe86]

yep i dont think one game this year we have played really well either apart from carlton. We have struggled to put scores on the board and have never played with much flow. We have been in winning positions true, but thats because our backline is good. Today even that was penetrated due to injuries and fraser gherig going berserk. The teams we have played are not great opposition and will all fall down this year too. We are not a deserving side at the moment although we continue to be competitive. We are not easy beats but are not good enough.

[Get Smart]

We must have the worst midfield in the league.
Even Hawthorn's midfield is better than ours.
I really can not see us climb up the ladder for some time.

Didn't see todays game, should I.
Best not watching it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree. Although that isn't such a bad sign, if we ran both the Crows and Roos so close.

[DaVe86]

yep but crows and roo's are bottom of the ladder teams from last year so how good are we not to be able to beat them. Same with essendon.

[Doc63]

No, Josh didnt have a run at Willy, he came straight back, that is a &^*%$^%$ing joke. He should have gone back to Willy as he needs a couple of weeks to get back into the swing of things

And he was still much better than that big cream-puff Walker would have been.

[rexi]

i'd like to see richards, egan, lonie and king come back next week. in exchange for fraser, obree, lockyer and maybe presti if he's injured

In exchange for Fraser?!?!?!?!? He was good for having just come back. I assume you meant someone else.

Feel sorry for Tarks ... not a shadow of his former self at the moment. I think has to go back to Willy to get some confidence.

sh!t, my bad, i meant to say c2, donno why i said fraser. but bahhahaha, copped so much crap for it
