What has gone so wrong in the past 2 games?

Post: # 955639Post saintspremiers »

I've been away for 11 days.....very little internet.....haven't seen any of the last 2 games, which I hear we won and got a total of 8 points for.

Sounds like we are about to implode or something?

Has the earth gone flat in the past fortnight?

Dunno, just the vibe I'm getting....

Some bloke called Rowldt (I can't pronounce it) made his debut.

His borther plays for Richmond - superstar forward apparently.

Not much else happened.

Must be about due to play the kids, I reckon. Get a few games into 'em.

We've failed to man up in both games and refuse to go down the guts.

We didn't kick it long.

And we finally released Goddard. So much so that he was unmanned in the dressing room. :wink:

We were pretty flat on Saturday night, I wonder if a bout of the flu was going around as we didn't seem to run as much as usual. We have barely got out of first gear in the past two games.

One notable stat for me, is that we have only won one game by over 50 points (v North). So we seem to just cruise v the lower sides and go hard v the higher sides. We haven't been at our absolute best with the exception of about three games (v North, Fremantle over there, Geelong).

I think we will rev it up now and if we win the next few games could well get on a huge run going into the finals (something which may have hurt us last season).

There's still some anger over the Baker outrage.

Welcome back to Earth saintspremiers.

The intergalactic media must be telling porkies. Everything's fine down here. Won last 7, equal top at 12-3.

Have a safe trip back. :D

Thanks Dr Spock.

Re-entry was a bit tricky though.

It's obvious - no Kosi.

Thats a pretty accurate summary actually IMO

I reckon the North game was the only four-quarter effort we've put together all season..and look where we are :-)

Indeed.

We are looking to me better placed than 2009 in that we haven't peaked yet.

In 2009 we peaked in early August.......hopefully this year it will be in September.

The Brisbane flag teams were famous for peaking in September, and I reckon that is our destiny this year.....
