A lot of holding the ball decisions due to their tackling, don't think we have much to complain about.

Dunstan needs to lose a few kg's in the thighs. Players just run by him.

Team balance is important... This isn't working.

I think it goes a fair bit deeper than that. We've been beaten in every position and their pressure has led to dome deplorable mistakes even by senior players like Riewoldt, Montagna and Dempster. You reckon one ruckman rather than two would have made a difference. I think you are drawing a long bow
Next week we will only play one ruckmem, that should give you a pretty clear indication.
Probably, but we'll probably be spanked next week. It's made no difference in this game

As a few of us said they went too tall too slow and too conservative at selection. The bulldogs backs r killing us with their rebound and pressing. This is the reality check we need. Hopefully bolder at selection next week. Last week took a lot out of the younger players and we needed some fresh legs and minds

I really don't like this arrogant mob. What have the got to be so cocky about? North Melbourne like.

They despise Roo. I wonder why.

Free kick against Dempster was laughable. But whats new.

Hope it doesn't get too ugly. They don't fumble. We are the kings of this skill.

Turn overs from disposal and pedestrian pace is killing us. No accountability either for their opponents

Yep our disposal is awful. Fumbling, missing targets. Brereton reckons armo has had 15 kicks and 50% of them have hit the target. When you've got the senior players butchering it, it's just ugly.

Just looking at the stats, it seems that Longer is dominating hit outs, but we're well behind in clearances, and we're being killed in inside 50s, neutraing our tall forwards as I feared would happen.

So much for experience- the senior players seem to just want to hand the ball to the Dogs by hand, foot or free kick. Can't see any positives sadly..just an undisciplined rabble running around not really knowing what to do with the ball when they actually get it. It is really bad to watch from a Saints perspective, our best player on stats would be Armo, but he is butchering the ball by foot to the point of undoing any good work.
