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.
GO SAINTS!!!!!

Putting it out there, this team loses to freo next week playing like this.

Re: Match Thread Rnd 9 Saints v Bummers @ Etihad
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.

Re: Match Thread Rnd 9 Saints v Bummers @ Etihad
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.Griggsy wrote:Where's the shepherd on the line for mavs shot
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

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.SainterK wrote:Angry pants skipper = annoying.

So far they have opted for the cushion rather than the hard work.Devilhead wrote:Roo apparently pissed according to radio report

Re: Match Thread Rnd 9 Saints v Bummers @ Etihad
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
