10 meters out
Crucial **** goal needed
An AFL player can’t kick over the man on the mark??
Do we have the DUMBEST players in league ??
At least 1 good thing - if these keeps up it becomes VERY clear how many of our players are GOPs and not taking us anywhere so turn em over cause against top 4 quality they will wilt and we will never be in a Premiership hunt

*yawn* dumb football. Same gameplan as last week. Just a better team to play against.

Will be a shellacking. Wake me up when they change tactics in a week or few.

Need to have a defensive forward or have King play some defense.

At the game the Melbourne player was laughing saying no.

Too static, poor skills. Take risks, play on shepherd, attack the footy. What a dismal quarter.

We have a clear strategy, which is to avoid contests inside our forward 50. But it isn’t working and we need to try something else. Put some different players up there and try to disrupt them. I’d try Battle.

Unbelievable that an experienced player like Membery doesn’t go far enough back to avoid the man on the mark

Play Long on Pickett FFS he has too much zip for Webster (whose always on the ground) and if Long crunches him with some physicality that’ll make him think twice

May allowed to bash into King so his team mate can mark

Great start
I agree - both should have been free kicks

Post of the year.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

We are a good side but they are just a bit better we are being out marked
I tipped Melbourne so I’m expecting this loss just didn’t think it was gonna be this much of a loss

That’s an appropriate summary of the 1st quarter.

Webster's a dud. We are going nowhere if he is on the backline.

Their handball is 1000% better than ours. It appears that "skills development" is a horse running at Sandown for the Saints coaching panel.
