Pretty standard for us this year. Only five Saints have touched the footy so far!

3mins - game over
does AR get them doing meditation before games

[White Winmar]

Can't they stay alive in a game for more than three minutes? Another woeful start. A bit like fourteen of the past fifteen. Honestly, how do they prepare for the start of a game? Please explain, Alan "we need to bring the effort" Richardson. Says it week in, week out, yet we are completely pantsed by quarter time, week after week.

[sainters85]

this is crap.. the starts are the worst part of the game.. massive flaw in our preparation obviously

[howlinwolf]

Agree witht eh above but there's no point in getting it right at this point of this season.

they have to try and get it right by the next game cause this isn't gonna happen next season, I hope

[sainters85]

5 goals in half a quarter for the tigers

[3rd generation saint]

Do we understand the concept of a forward line.

[desertsaint]

First quarter. Saints in neutral. Same old, same old.
They'll put it in gear when the game is gone. All good.

[bigcarl]

Pathetic thus far

[mullet]

good constructive comments here so far

anyone got some ideas or do you just want to vent your spleens

[sainters85]

great job from Wright, good goal from Shents

[Russman]

Back in the game, Tigers only have 3 mor scoring shots than us.

anyone got some ideas

get the footy
use it well

or do you just want to vent your spleens

yup

[Russman]

I don't have foxtel, can anyone tell me where Shenton is playing?

[Toy Saint]

Sounds like a city in northern china..

[bergholt]

Yeah, I'd be interested too. 7 touches and 1 goal 1 behind at quarter time is a solid return. Making a late bid for retention next year?

Seriously, Mullet? The coaches collectively get millions of dollars a year to adequately prepare the team. If this was a one off, or a poor run of form, I'd understand, but this happens week after week. I know we're crap in terms of talent, but even in the dim, dark ages of the 80's, the team would put up an effort before fading badly late in games. That is understandable with poor teams. Why does this team seem to be incapable of bringing any sort of effort, early in games? It's a joke. Either the players aren't trying, are inadequately prepared, or the coaching staff is terrible at its job. Probably a combination of all three.
