And if it isn't kicked to him there's the old habit of arms flapping creeping in. It happened after Jack Steven kicked it to Armo in the pocket (who was on his own by the way). early part of that quarter.
I saw that, it's what prompted the original comment. I think it might have led to Richo sending him back upfield and if so, good

It'll turn around this quarter. Rocket up the clacker at half time and a premiership type 3rd quarter and away we go for the next few weeks. :D

GO SAINTS!!!!!

Angry pants skipper = annoying.

Not helpful, players already jittery & low on confidence for whatever reason.

It's hard to imagine us playing that ordinary in the 2nd half. Please show something. A run away win with Paddy kicking 2 or 3 2nd half goals is the only way I'll go away happy.

Ross and Steven have been great. Backline is a massive worry. Without knowing, pretty sure we're losing the free kick count for the 100th time in a row.

I hate this with a passion. It tells me the team is not being a team if sheperds aren't executed with vigour. I thought they might have reviewed the tapes from last weeks game and noted how sheperds are done.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

what has happened to the side to cause this form reversal ????
Being thumped by 100 points wouldn't have helped.
I would have thought that would have been a reason to boost the side this week.
Would have given them motivation, sure. But not confidence

This week isn't a given yet either, by any means.

They've shut Joey and sav down and we don't have others to drive from the back

For everything that is great about our skipper and how he has represented the St Kilda football club, the reality is that our future success does not revolve around Roo in the team, let alone the forward line.

So far they have opted for the cushion rather than the hard work.

Rather than trying to hit a pass into our F50 why don't we just put it to the goal square and get to the foot of the pack
