4 points

that'll do

Exactly, at this stage of the year who cares how u win whether u pump a side or grind out a win, take the 4 and run.

Next week we will play our first real game of footy for the season.
That was absolute crap. If every team played like Sydney it would be a crap competition.

dal played well in the second half.
other than that it just seemed that everyone just did enough...couldnt really see any HUGE standouts tho.

8th is a good call

roos won a tv a sony playstation 3 and something else too for the Bravia player of the game or something

I listened to the call via 3AW / MMM at AFLcom

What I have heard is little change to our style. We still seem to turn over the ball so much at Half forward that lets Sydney into the game.

At one stage the caller said "Sydney wants the Saints to go long to make the game into 1 on 1 contests". Surely this would be good for the game spectacle and would allow forwards to to perform.

If we continue to react to defense tactics like Sydney's in the way done today, dont expect a top 4 spot.

The reason will be that the team will be too tired by the season's end and we potentially will get overrun by good teams (just like last year).

I want to see this change. Take a risk Ross, we still dont havbe the midfield legs to play this style all year. We need to score goals to keep up the motivation and crowd attendance.

Hopefulyy the 3 G's (Gehrig, Goddard and Goose) will come in next week and make a difference in the way we play.

Fair post Kalsaint. Attacking footy would be the best way for u guys. U have three guns in F50 - Roo, G-Train and Kosi......with Milne and Schneider the designated crumbers. Big scores should be the objective....
