Post match. Pies trounced by Saints. All comments please

[Greening gold]

Cloke was a neutral on the field last year - he has now become a negative. At his age he should be a leader, but he's not even a follower.
TV just said we have had 3 wins since Rd 12 last year, and one was last week.
Completely disorganised on the field - players don't seem to be working to a plan. I assume there is a plan, in which case Bucks has not been able to teach them. Yes we have injuries but where was the depth we were all led to believe was there.

[yin-YANG]

I think we have a better list than them - but they are bringing fantastic intensity and pressure. We played on 15 times after a mark they did more than 50 times. Even with Malthouse along the boundary line tactic the key was always moving the ball quickly - these guys struggle because they play slow footy!

I think the coach and coaching staff have not delivered a game plan that suits the modern game. Our zone is pathetic. The players need to man up and beat there opponent. Time to simplify and play some attacking and aggressive footy next week otherwise we will be 1-3 with tougher games to come!

Surely Blair or someone in that fwd line could have played a defensive role on Montagna - the guy just did what he liked!

Lots of solutions and potential - but will anything change?

[winpies]

Very...very...very disappointed in that game. Saints without two key players from half time, another down at 3 qtr time and they still had more run than us. I am not sure what our game plan is at all. Kick and hope? No pressure. Not sure where that leaves us for the rest of the year but I don't like the look of it.

[Fire Up]

saints had no choice to go small up forward with riewoldt and mcartin being concussed. why didn't bucks go small up back and tall down forward.

cloke has serious issues with his kicking for goal. missed the whole lot from 40 out. he also cant ruck!!!

[Mossi]

only saw bits of the third quarter! The Saints just out ran us! They were up we were down. Missed Ramsay! Saints are an up and coming side and so are we their bound to play fantastic in some games and this is one of them! There is next week!!!!

Thank God that wasn't on free-to-air TV in Adelaide. The radio version was bad enough.

The tough part is knowing that the youthful potential exists, but waiting for it to blossom under pressure will demand some courage from supporters.

Patience will be a major virtue for the rest of this year.

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

Cant wait for the excuses in the pressy...

[hot pie]

What is the point of a forward that cant kick, Cloke back to the magoos

I have been a Buckley supporter since he played the game, however we simply don't seem to get any better.

A great player does not make a great coach, Just ask the Brisbane Broncos, Wally Lewis was a great leader on the field but did not succeed as a coach,

Nathan, unfortunately it's not a right of passage.

Pendlebury is a liability- shouldnt be playing if injured.
Saints lost 3 bloody players during game and still killed us.

Loose man/men off half back destroyed us- Montagna and Hawks reject savage.

Absolutely piss weak performance form all bar Oxley and Grundy.

Our midfield is getting destroyed week in week out- and they are unaccountable and dont run/spread.

Backline looks even more horrible because of pissweak mids.

Maynard should not have got another game so easily- should be sent back to teh 2s for a number of weeks.

I've always been a bucks fan- but today he was clearly outcoached- although the players were just as much to blame- lazy, unaccountable football.

Pathetic

[dalyc]

I'm not usually one to rant but here goes...

That was the most disgraceful performance I've ever seen.

I'm ashamed of the team.

I've not knocked Bucks before but Eddie has got to start looking around so that at the end of the year should we continue that type of performance we can get the coach we want.

Free Saints everywhere ... In defence, in attack, on the wings!! And with 1 only on the interchange!! I used to complain that Malty had no Plan B and neither does Bucks. Blind Freddie could see where getting cut apart and still we persisted.

The list over-rates themselves. Gutless. Insipid. Bruise free. I suspect Bucks has lost the players but that's no excuse for lack of effort. Soft c*ck,pea hearted, piss weak, tin men almost all.

At least there won't be any GF heartache this year.

[The_Staunton]

Said it before and say it again

Touch of the Frankie Raso about todays efforts...

Be nice to show to some pride in the jumper again...

[princem007]

I believe we are starting season slow on purpose and then have a big second half of year. We have been 8-3 last 2 years and missed finals. I believe we will turn 5-6 and have a huge second half of year and be peaking at right time of year. It's looks like we are preserving ourselves playing bruise free footy.

[Johnno75]

They should get flogged at training this week. 25km run for all to make up for the lack of it today.

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

He's got to go now... enough is enough!!!
