Wow. Awesomely constructive comment. Well done!

Gets the ball, is high in contested possessions but lacks pace. But that's ok. Sidebottom is not fast either, but it's his smarts that defeats em.

I think we need to be creative. This is now a development year and we need to get games into the those that we see as leading us to finals.
So games into:
Clark
Coffield
Winx (after about 4 more games in seconds)
Clav (same)

Drop Ross, Newnes, Brown

I am happy to get games in to him,
A skinny Kosi played 20 in his first season, and Roo played 22 in his second. Play em in the right spot and he will be fine.

Watched it twice, but for fear of jinxing the Winx, I'm not going to say anything.

Disagree. Kent has been pretty good overall. Played every game. BOG against Melbourne. Best in a couple of other games. 12th in total disposals (very good for a HF/FP). 3rd in goal kicking (averaging 1.1). 4th in score involvements (averaging 5.1). 12th in total tackles (averaging 2.1). What else d...

I can't even watch other games atm..Richo is destroying my love of the game. until he goes we will tread water and the peanut gallery on here will continue to extol the virtues of mediocrity +1000. Up till our Giants game, I used to watch every game on free-to-air (in Perth we don't get much) but n...

Not sure why you're even bothering to p...

Clubs just won't sack coaches in season any more. Just not going to happen.

Yeah and the Americans didn't land on the moon hey?

Another coach blaming thread. I'm not in the Richo fan club, but our list is below average at best. Our midfield is one of the worst in the competition. We have recruited absolute duds like Kent, and persist with untalented players like Newnes year in, year out. Today we played a team studded with ...

Skill level will always beat fitness levels of you get my drift. Pies have it in spades. Saints have an average midfield in particular. It wasn't fitness, it was in the end much more experienced and more talented players. How would we go with Grundy and Sidebottom in our team?

4 consecutive losses now. Ouch. Yes, but should you realistically expect our list to compete with those top 8 sides? We are not a top 8 side. Thats why we lose to top 8 sides. Simple really. Hawks beat GWS. So did Freo. Adelaide have also been beaten by a number of teams. 4 consecutive losses hurts...

It’s always hard to find positives in a loss, but for the third consecutive week we dominated large periods of the game vs a genuine premiership contender. While we again failed to convert, we comfortably controlled a lot of play against a benchmark side. Not even the most optimistic St Kilda suppo...

Great to see that ugly spastic Reid who hasn't done anything in 15 years tear us a new one. Brilliant. 👍 Pretty offensive comment buddy. What about that smug c.nt Sidebottom? Fancy using the word “spastic” as a personal insult in 2019. You absolutely disgusting creep of a test tube full of sub-huma...

Still bombing on top of forwards heads... didn’t they learn from Young?? It was the 50 paid and his sprint that allowed space in the forward line thereby allowing a hit up pass. Virtually impossible to hit up players when pies have time to get defensive structure s in place. Pies can do it because ...

I think we stand a fair chance to lose to a very talented young team in the blues. Will not be easy with our lack of A grade talent. If we lose, be prepared for the coach to not be sacked. This will not happen mid season.

Ok, now that we have all settled down and allowed the cat back inside, what were the positives to come out of this game? We are one loss closer to Richo getting the ass. Significant positive Settle pettle. I watched the saints through the 80s so I know what real ineptitude looks like. Today's effor...

Blues have a significantly better list of players than saints.

When’s it going to sink in these players (combined with rank coach) are taking us nowhere!

So apart from sacking the coach, what do you suggest the club does?
