We knew we had a problem as Ryder approached retirement and have done very little to rectify it.
I don't know if we did, but,in my opinion, we should have made a play for Grundy.
We should have given North what they wanted for Xerri. Make Rowan the CHF and Xerri the ruck.

Not experienced yet
Experienced enough and has shown leadership in the off season but not really the point but ok, argue every point you pedant. That along with your continued non quoting comes across as arrogant and tedious.

It’s relevant.

Best forward out and key to our forward half.
You wouldn’t want the club using excuses for that insipid last 20 minutes but the supporters should be able to say whatever the f*** they want.

That's not why we lost today.
Correct, the players on the field were the reason we lost. We kick goals, instead of points, when on top we win. Then Essendon panic & our exits from the backline are without pressure to wings & half forwards to kick to forwards they trust will finish the job.

We were on top of Essendon & chose to roll over by failing to convert & then pannicking. We were on top with barely any players at their best. Not including Ross or Steele in that summation, they were very good.

Yep

Cooper stays on and kicks a goal in the last and we win. I think he would have redeemed himself for his 2 early misses.

I was pretty disappointed that Sharman wasn't there as a target in that last quarter.

We had 10 inside 50s and only scored 1-1

They had 13 for 2-6.

Yep, we lost the 4 points due to errors all over the ground by most of our team but it was the forward line who wrapped the 4 points up and put a ribbon on them.

We had injuries, the umpires cheated, if such and such plays, we win.

The only people who think this way are people who have never experienced sport at a high level or have no understanding of the game.

I bet Ross is sitting having a beer with Lenny, Harves and Boris and saying if it wasn’t for all those injuries, we win 😂

We had ample opportunity to win the game with the players selected, however we were unable to convert in front of goal and it cost us.

We miss set shots 30M out on minor angles, Stringer bangs it from outside 50 to seal the game.

You think that’s true? Doubt it very much but anyway. King plays we win it’s as simple as that.

Like to bet if Henry plays over Byrnes we win also.

One minute people on here are saying we don’t have enough elite players. Then when the ones we have are unavailable it’s apparently no issue.

Are you seriously that foolish?

I get it your s*** stirring.
Despite all the injuries, if the 23 selected just performed adequately, we win easy.

No need for elite talent just pick solid players and kids.

In games decided by such narrow margins incidents across the 4 quarters can be identified - and mostly those late in the game are given attention

What you do is learn - and recommit

True, both sides had 23 players on the park - but the fact is we can put a superior 23 on the park from today

Except for King, most are long term injuries

Norwood Oval is a tight playing surface so we will need to address clearances - and contest

Norwood beat Sturt on Thursday night on the back of near 100 tackles to 60

Back in the day, the ground held 20,000 but OH&S now says significantly less

From a personal point of view, and from school days, it would be nice to see the Saints honour Allan Killigrew who coached both sides

Allan bought many St Kilda players with him

Past that, a few years later St Kilda played a pre season practice game versus a developing Norwood side and won with experienced players including Ross Smith

So we trust the contest St Kilda brings sees a second win at the historical ground, the Club now 145 years old

It's going cheap too. It's second hand but was very reliable and in use for over 50 years....

... in Baltimore

Sorry... couldn't help myself. Tragic event

Back to the coach/coaches.

I feel like some mistakes were made from the coaches, but for a large part of the game today we were travelling well and could have even pinched it in the end.

We needed a goal kicker in that last quarter. Sharman should have stayed on the park imo

Ross set the team up and prepared the players as best as he could. Unfortunately we missed too many set shots.

Look at Stringer, the bloke is a flog, but look how he stepped up in the last quarter, the set shot he converted was more difficult than every set shot we missed today.

Our leaders all went missing in the last, very telling.

The ground is what it has always been, with the Western Grandstand unique, for the lack of a better description, its brick wall right on the playing boundary

The Wolf Blass Centre has been added recently but not impacting crowd size

The days of 20,000 crowds are long gone from the post AFL SANFL competition, some 5,000 present last Thursday night for the season opener

The narrowness of the wings reinforces “up the guts, Sonny” so the contest and forwards who can contest and mark

The big scores have not been a feature for many a year because of the contested nature of SANFL games and no space being offered

So the chances are a tight, contested game with perhaps 12 goals getting the result
