We need richo and the game plan out. We only average 8 goals a game this season (boosted by 16 in round 1 against the lions). New players isn’t going to solve this.

Having said that how we didn’t play battle today and expected to compete with just paddy as a key forward is a joke.

AFL won’t let us sack him either as we are so in debt that they would have to ultimately foot the bill for the payout. Never should have extended his contract before the season, went backwards last year, and it is not like any other club was trying to poach him.

Could easily not win a game until round 17 now...

Best chance before that is either of the Melbourne games but I think they are a class above us now

Absolutely no way he goes to the tribunal. Reckless, head high contact, high impact. Surely that's only 3 down to 2. If he goes to the tribunal along the same lines as the Houli and Bugg punches that weren't in play, the systems broke. Agree. Only thing that goes against him is he takes his eye off...

Moved into the stage where we can win/hang on to games when not at our best. Step in right direction to eventually become a top four/ premiership side

Would be disappointed to see him play again this year. If Hickey not available give Holmes or Pierce a chance - couldn't do any worse!

Best thing about our victory - it wasn't directly of
Riewoldt's back - he didn't have a great/outstanding game. Shows we are developing a more rounded team!

I'd be happy for anything under 24 points - IF WE PLAY WELL. Giants, dogs and crows are the real standard for the top tier teams - Geelong is a fair way behind them.

Roo should definitely play on next year. Heard a someone say this week that he is worth three to four wins himself a year in any team. Which I completely agree with. There is a strong possibility that we don't even make finals without him.

Just put barcode numbers in

Weller needs to be dropped. Too one dimensial as a small forward.

FFS. Get a life. We lost. Because of bad kicking and a dismal last quarter. This bleating is pathetic. Yes we know your point of view you have been 'attacking the man' on all threads regarding the umpiring today. But as GSG has said your view is a tad simplistic - to put some context in it for you ...

It was the Saints that kicked 13-19, not the Umpires, that's why we lost. It's the guys having a shot on goal that can't hit the side of a barn.. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Technically we kicked 14-18 but it got reversed. There were a lot of rushed behinds too. If you dont think the umpires impact...

Umpires didn't help but 13-19 is disgraceful. Kicked ourselves out of it. Crushing defeat giving it up so late.

Still big positive that our new travel routine worked as we put in a good performance.

For me newnes out next week.

Yeo is killing us. Need to clamp down on him

How was that not 50? Handball over the back not looking - didn't reach members in the full!

Anyone else think that the commentators should be calling the umpiring out? I mean lake mentioned it briefly at 7-0 free kicks. I mean this happens overtime we play out west - how often does a team only get 2 free kicks in a half? Having said that got to be happy with the intensity the boys are play...
