We're all hurting tonight.

Sorry Wal, you beat me to it. I miss the tough nut.

Sadly missed #10 tonight.
Some tackles might have stuck tonight.

Most of our midfielders can't kick. Ball and Hayes are ball-winners but shocking kicks, Joey's kicking has deteriorated and Nick Dal Santo is now a half-back flanker picking up junk disposals. What has happened to Gram's kicking. He's kicking a lot of mongrels this year. Brendon Goddard is a beautif...

I agree kaos - Armitage is hard at it, an in and under guy but slow. Jones is faster but with all the skills of Jayson Daniels.

Raph's brother was one

Who tipped them to be contenders?

I guess you could question the judgment of those who hyped them to be top 2, this bunch of pretenders, who scraped into 9th last year.


Let's see if they can regroup this week and try to avoid the posts bagging individual players.

the best that can be said of RL is that we have rarely been pumped with his negative and negating game plan. They are generally hard at it but that corralling is boring, boring, boring. I always thought GT was a one-dimensional coach but at least the team was good to look at and they went for it. In...

I totally concur. R Clarke's tackle must have been an accident.

if you wish to be pedantic, fair enough. So it was two matches.

GT's inability to observe that Sheedy always used to switch the play from the back line cost us TWO games at the Dome...

when we were a much more talented and cohesive side.
I hate losing to Essendon

Meher, I am in a zen-like state of synchronous nirvana with your post. I applaud your perspicacity at commenting on our ludicrous inability to routinely pump Essendon back in the heady days of the Saint's blitzkrieg. GT's inability to observe that Sheedy always used to switch the play from the back ...

Cirra, It is the end of Round Two - I love when we win by any margin. I am not complaining about winning. If you want to raise that subject, though, it was hardly a glorious victory. The point I am raising is I dispute that we will beat good sides playing that junk style. The post is about tactics, ...

Unbelievable cannibals! Like a pack of Richmond fans eating their own. I don't believe we can win a premiership without a fit and firing Kosi. If we lose to some better teams in the next month, it won't be because of a forward having a quiet couple of nights. Look at the midfield if you must, MUST b...

like Judd, HD.


I think he is still favouring his leg on the long kicks.

5 - Hudghton
4 - Hayes
3- X Clarke
2- Milne
1 - S Fisher

Stiff: G Train, Gardiner, Blake, Fiora

No votes: Dal

and

Kosi - what's going on?

exactly my point saintsrus. In ice hockey, it's called fore-checking and it bloody works. Corralling doesn't inspire fear in an opponent.

Magic Max

I think it's RL's strategy though. Under GT we didn't do that. I know the latter's coaching was flawed but we were more fun to look at in the Saints BLITZKRIEG days.

All will be forgiven if we win the flag!

Blake gets absolutely the most out of his ability. You can't say that about everyone else in the side tonight.

Jones cannot dispose of the ball properly. Very brave last week.

Leave Blake alone FFS

Snore bore Apart from the fact that it looks ugly and is boring as batshyte, our tactic of standing off and letting our opponents move the ball from their full back to hf without a single man-on-man contest is driving me insane. In the 3rd.quarter Carlton helped us out on three occasions by missing ...

I agree and add Milne. He could certainly hold his head high, not just for his goal-sneaking either.

Welcome back G

a very brave, possibly match-turning, effort. The rest of his game was pretty poor. His disposals aren't up to AFL standards.

Why RL put him ahead of Armo in the first place is beyond me.

I am in total accord, stairway. (though would have chosen black dog as a nick, the greatest guitar riff in history) I know it's staffed by volunteers, but it is supposed to be a professional club. How hard can it be when they have had the dough since before Christmas? I have the serious tom tits ove...
