Did you see his ruck work? And i hate bagging him but it does my head in watching his lack of second efforts.

in the effort to defend (admirable tenaciousness) Kosi, you have to pot the onballersSainterK wrote: I punch the couch when I see continual crappy entry.

After all, Milne is the champion your St Kilda exclusively survives on and will do so for another 10 years - after which he will no doubt coach St Kilda.
So, why didn't your champion win the ball which was kicked to him, run around the opposition, wait until there was one second on the clock and then slot the goal secure in the knowledge that that was the last kick of the game?
Mind you, last week Kosi gifted your hero his only goal of the day if I recall correctly - but perhaps it was the other way around? I might add that I would have been more impressed if Milne had checked to shepherd Koschitzke to the line instead of yelling "give it to me", but that is just me and me thinking that footy is a team game and being prepared to shepherd is indicative of a team player!
And now you are critical, calling for Koschitzke's head no less, because he kicked to your idol who, given the opportunity, could not deliver the goods!!
So sack Koschitzke!!!!
Never to play football again!!!!!!!!!!!
There has to be an irony there somewhere but I am currently struggling just a little to put it all into context!!

the other forwards have to manage...?
yeah we would all like to see lace out passes on to the chest of the forwards, but the fact is, unless the forward manages to lose his opponent with a fast break lead, runs direct line of site to the on-coming forward(who is under no pressure) and the pass is a 30-40mt stab, well it doesnt happen very often anymore
Saints are "more" a numbers round the ball side, and kosi hasnt had a fast break for awhile now.
Well said barks. I completely agree with you. How Watters could play Kosi and leave Sipposs out is disgraceful.barks4eva wrote:Kossie is a total liability and a football retard
How he gets a game is mind boggling
Even if Wilkes and Stanley are not available I'd much rather play Siposs and have a slightly smaller forward line
The decision to play Kossie all year has cost a finals place
Watters is accountable for this stupidity

As I said before, even though he might be next to useless in the ruck, he still gives McEvoy a break and until there is someone else who can do that he stays in the side.
As far as I'm concerned if he kicks a half dozen kicks, kicks a goal or two in the process, gives McEvoy a break, he is doing his job.
Plus, if the ball is delivered into the forward line like Goddard did, and Sipposs when he's playing, to the top of the goal square which gives Kosi a good run and jump at it, I'll back him to either mark it, or force a spillage that our small forwards can run onto.
Should have had 3 goals against Dogs, but decided to give Milne a birthday present at the end.
For me the forward line should be Roo and Sipposs leading out and taking defenders with them, with Kosi staying in the goal square for the long kick in.

We were probably over possessing because the filth have a good defensive structure and we couldn't find a way through. Kicking long isn't always the answer and we couldn't always find a loose man as they are very disciplined at filling in the holes.SainterK wrote:OK I'll try to explain myself a bit better Sun.sunsaint wrote:in the effort to defend (admirable tenaciousness) Kosi, you have to pot the onballersSainterK wrote: I punch the couch when I see continual crappy entry.

I'm not the only one potting the onballers today though, to be fair, the coach lamented the use of the ball and skill errors...the over possessing.
It's not just about lace out passes, it's the shallow entries that played into the Pies hands.
It's about 'who' delivers it IMO, and 'where'
For example, after halftime.
Saad deep kick inside 50, Milne goal
Dal kicks from 50, goal
Milne deep kick to Roo, goal
Milne kicks from 50, goal
Brendon kicks long, marked deep by Ben, goal
Brendon kicks long, marked deep by Kosi, goal
Lenny kicks long, marked by Milne, goal
Saad kicks from 50, goal.
Decisive action, good use of the ball, the goals were either one or the other....a deep kick putting defenders under pressure or someone taking the responsibility.
The over possession is what kills us, that is why I get frustrated,
