Small forwards seem to go missing in tough games and under heavy conditions.

We could have selected a bigger bodied player and rested a small forward (maybe even 2) perhaps?

Ummm we had more than two easy kicks from pretty close range that we missed…
Yep and if we kicked another 2 points we win.

Bad kicking bad football.

That was Rattens worst coaching performance of the year. We desperately needed run around the ball Crouch & Gresham were terrible. Surely you throw Sinclair onto the ball and Long forward.

Campbell shouldn't have played given it was a wet track. Higgins got slaughtered by Burton yet he left him matched against him. Once again too many easy missed shots, an absolute shocking loss. Another 4 points thrown away, dumb stuff and a very poorly coached football club tonight.

If Butler is not dropped after tonight I'm sending my membership back to the club.

Yeah sick of it but still not the venues fault
Weak inept goal kicking in front of goals the difference
Max K or Ben if you listen Richo and Darc will cop heat this week and so he should
He’s paid to kick goals ffs

Powell Pepper got away with 5 holding the balls. The one near the end was disgraceful umpiring. As for Max King.....that was a horrible performance

Just wondering if you could think up some more excuses?
We didn’t win due to pathetic conversion.
Higgins and King again the culprits.

Small forwards get smashed in the big, tough games ... even Milne went missing.

Selling home games is just wrong.

After Port's breakthrough win last week they were probably rapt to be playing StKilda the following week, and at a neutral venue.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

1 goal 15 behinds in nearly three quarters of footy and still only lose by 1 point.

Not hard to see what cost us the game!!
