Thoughts:
Not too bad an effort for three and a half quarters Saintas.
Ran out of mid fielders. Our next level blokes didn’t get enough of it:
Dunstan - I suspect that hit affected him........ tony......?
Lonie – Looked dangerous up forward though.
Templeton – He now looks big enough, and did some nice things early, but then disappeared.
Gresham – First game, so no problems there, and should get another run.
Billings – Surprised he got it 22 times, though when he did, looked very classy.
Acres – Big third quarter, but still looks hurried when he gets that thing. Mav was the same, but is now confident to hang onto the footy when he gets it, rather than panicking. Give Acres a consistent run of games, and he’ll settle, and then really start to show what he can do.

Seb. First 30 possession game! A touch of ‘the Acres’ though, in that he still seems to lack confidence, and rushes things when he gets the footy. But was still getting to contests at the end of the game. That’s a huge plus, as covering the ground was previously a huge question mark against him. I’m now prepared to say that he will make it. Onya Seb!

Roo. We nearly won the game, and Roo did next to nothing! (Almost) no forward line marks, ‘get out’ marks leading up the ground, didn’t seem to be drawing half the opposition backline to him. And that didn’t seem to adversely affect The Bruce.
Really liked:
Our future on display.

Roo, Sam F, Joey, P66, Dempster all leaving us, and people worry how we’ll go without them. Well, we scored freely without Roo, Joey was ok, but nothing standout, and Sam and Shaun we’re forced to stand blokes way too big for them........... but we have Goddard and Carlisle, in the wings. And McCartin also.
The frenetic attack on the ball and player that Richo has instilled. The oppositions don’t like it........ just watch that Hawks game from last year. Only current problem is we can’t keep it up. But that will change!

The cut in interchanges. Great start AFL. Now slash the numbers again!
Felt sorry for:
Sam Fisher. He’s lost a lot of pace. Playing on experience now. But Sam deserves, and has more than deserved to play out his final year......... without having to man up the gorillas. But despite that, he did a great job against the odds. Star! Champion!
Port Adelaide and their bogan fans trying to channel Liverpool (“You’ll never walk alone”) with "You’ll Never Tear Us Apart”. Truly truly cringe worthy.

Don’t understand:
Our key backs were significantly under sized, yet were continually competing one out. Where was the third man up to help out?????
And who the hell was on Polack (or was it Pettard, or was it both of them)???? Really cut us up with long runs out of defence!

Really pissed off with:
That stupid deliberate out of bounds rule! Scrap it!!!
