Kicking is killing us, not the maggots.

46% by foot....are you kidding me.

Local 2nds are better than that..


Cameron is handing Gilbert his arse as a hat for his 150th.

Interesting the lat minute subsitute of Leigh Fisher as umpire. Maybe worried the Saints might get a fair go for a change!

Yes I still believe that teams are picked on balance and competitive edge. Today we haven't got the height or the contested footy. And kicking is causing turnovers that put the Saints in defence too much. Grrr. Effort must be the starting point.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

How many does Cameron kick before we make a change? Fisher would be worth a shot at the moment as Gilbert isn't working.

Well It looked like we were spent before we even started, long bombs, turnovers, better find the on switch soon

Dunstan, Ross, Bruce and Gilbert all need to get the ball more. There not even winning the 1%ers.
Not a holiday after a big win the effort is required every week. GWS showing how its done.
Yes frees not favourable but not the reason we are losing this.

Tackling has stopped too now. If you are chasing but this needs to be a key indicator.Comes to effort.

Bit of a lift in intensity in the last 5 mins. Still looking awfully scrappy by foot.

Geary gets out marked by a first year pigmy. What does he offer.
Slow, terrible skills and even worse decision making.
