Well Shneider, Sipposs, Gram and Riewoldt didn't get a touch. We stopped our run and play on, we became reactive, and we couldn't buy a clearance to save ourselves. Armo, great in qtr one clearances, nowhere to be seen in qtr 2.


Lance or James??

I do not undrstand how we can be so good in the 1st quater, and then so bad in the second, to the point it looks like they don't care.
I was foolish enough to think we might have turned the corner last week, ah well, that's life as a Saints fan I guess

Hawks are two down on the bench. Pathetic, insipid effort that quarter.
hawks came out firing in qtr 2, and the Saints squibbed it basically.

With Hale out the Hawks found an extra gear... winning the contests and out-positioning us.

Our talls went to water... Roo and Kosi can't hold onto a mark.

Our only hope now basically is to outlast them with a longer bench.

Thanks, good to see someone knows whats going on even if it isnt great. Very frustrating when not watching and all you get is we are shyte, drop him, drag him dont pick him.

Lets hope we can regain our run in third quarter. :D

Confidence is paper thin.

Talent is there.

Headspace is not.

We are broken mentally.

Teams know we are shot.

There is nothing wrong with the players ability.

It just feels like any game from the past 31 years taking out 97,98,04,05,09,10.

Get a head start against a side that is playing disgraceful football and are sure to rebound after a spray at the break. They get an early one,then a procession of goals follow,as our players become intimidated and scared. The opposition crowd reaches fever pitch as they get on a roll that we just step out of the way and let through. The players get a worried look on there face at every marking contest

Just feels like any other year pre 04 streak,the old glory days

Yep.

Could have completely changesd if Kosi had have looked up in the first minute and hit McEvoy on the chest 25 metres out instead of blazing awy.

Then right at the end of the quarter two terrible mistakes. Kosi drops and absolute sitter, and Schneider gets caught witht he ball.

Add that to two snap goals from stoppages and that tell the tale of St Kilda in qtr 2.

Fkn horrible.

Maybe we need to use our replacement and get some run going again.

In the first quarter Hawthorn were kind enough to kick it to us after they won the clearances. This allowed us to kick it forwards and goal. Unfortunately Hawthorn have reverted back to their 'unsociable' football and don't let us have it after they win the clearances. And therein lies our problem; we can't get the ball. When we do occasionally get the footy, Hawthon have 16 players behind the footy to get through.

ive not seen stats but hawks won every single contested ball and all their tackles stuck whereas all ours were broken. was completely one sided.

they had an extra player at every single contest. when we did get the ball from a soft free or something we just went backwards and sideways until they picked us off and won it back.

not sure we got it past half way all quarter.

Rosco is notoriouslt slow to react on game day.

With Hale going off, it threw us out and we didn't react at all.

He's very good however, at reassessing during the break and countering. So hopefully he sorts it out.
