Bottom line is and the point I was trying to make is that if you have 25 or more scoring shots you are likely going to win and considering we had 29 against the leagues best defence and midfield it is one positive we can take out of the game.

What i'm saying is that we missed a lot of shots because of the crap entries to the 50, which is a reason for the amount of shots we had. So missing a set shot is due to a crap entry into the 50 area or missing a shot running into an open goal must mean that we entered the 50 in a crappy way :? I d...

The statistics aren't true of how the game was played. I never said otherwise What the statistics do say is that we had 30 or so scoring shots which in 38 attempts is more than any other side has had when playing Geelong. This is a positive considering they have perhaps the best midfield and defenc...

Sorry been a bit slack with posting results and leaders Thank you for posters in previous weeks doing this Now if you tipped 8 this week then it can be safely said that you have absolutely no idea about football and luckily no one did That said our winner this week is iceman234 with a lucky 6 (margi...

Don't know if it has been brought up however not since Round 13 2006 when Geelong played Adelaide has a team had more scoring shots against Geelong (Adelaide had 42 that day) We had 29 scoring shots (32 if you count the 2 out on the full and Bally's 35m miss in the last) This is a good sign against ...

If only I could run as fast as "CLINTON JONES"

Baker coming back will add a bit of hardness but seriously we used to hurt teams with ferociousness and attack at the ball - in 2004 and 2005 we were renowned for it alas now it is seriously lacking - there is no one on the field that makes you walk 10 foot taller like Hamill did - we need to get so...

This team used to be tough and hard and feared however unfortunately we haven't been able to replace guys like Powell, Hamill and Black who were hard at the ball and strong over the ball The amount of times Geelong broke our tackles tonight to get a handball away was embarrasing whereas we would get...

blake was not nearly the worst saint

Yeah but he is slow slow slow to make a decision - enough is enough

forgot about Schneider - out X Clarke give him a break from the knock and get him into the damn weight room

We also had 2 out on the full from 30m out in the last quarter - so we actually had just as many scoring shots

Oh yeah and Ball didn'tmake the distance from 35m out on the run and it was off target anyway

7 goal loss with 2 less scoring shots and 2 out on the full from 30m out

Out Fiora in C. Gardiner or Armitage
Out Blake in M. Gardiner

7 goal loss with 2 less scoring shots

Gehrig kicks one on the siren but has been well beaten all day

Saints lose by 7 goals with 2 less scoring shots

Luke Ball doesn't make the distance from 35m on the run but was off target anyway

Blake misses from 30m (under pressure)

Jones misses from 30m

Roo misses on the run from 30m

Awful just awful again - thats 2 shots now within 30 metres - out of bounds on the full

We seem to be so easily knocked off the ball - about 4 times that quarter when it was a one on one contest we were brushed aside - we need harder stronger bodies in there Geelong are beatable - we gave them a touch up in the first quarter however we must improve our skills especially our kicking for...

Bench down to 2 Harvey off with a quad and Clarke stretchjered off for an incident off the ball - umpires didn't stop the match when the stretcher was on the ground and Geelong now have a shot on goal - which they missed

Geelong with 3 in 2 minutes with 3 clear centre clearances

Sensational work by Milne - Roo with the first in the 2nd - Saints by 13

Clearances 13 - 2 in our favour

Quarter time Saints 4-7 Cats 4-0
