Our no 1 issue that is killing the Saints! There are many others issues of course which I won't list here, but its still our no 1 problem.

It cost us a finals spot last year and has really damaged our season this year. I was shaking my head when we were 0.6 (all goals were gettable too) at one point last night...again! :D

That just about sums it up. You can't win by missing basic shots all the time. Where's Dixon? Still making the players visualise their best sexual experience when lining up? No wonder they keep missing!

Dixon is close to helping us become the number 1 team for behinds. I reckon he will get us there by seasons end.

Time to lock in Dixon until 2023

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result. We have been working on this for over a year now and has got worse.

Perhaps we have spent too long drafting good blokes rather than good kicks? Or perhaps the fitness gurus don't let them practise goal kicking fatigued in case of injury. How many times do you have a shot for goal fresh- rarely
