Our Skills...

Are ATROCIOUS.

Our kicking, handballing, marking and kicking for goal is horrible. Really bad. I'm going mental at the TV as players are hitting Melbourne players on the chest 10m in the clear.

Listening on the radio - sounds a very horrible game - and the amount of errors and turnovers heading into the forward line sounds nothing short of pathetic

Clarke Gwilt and as much as I hate to say this Baker time to be dropped

I've found Bakes and Gwilt have been ok today. Gwilt is doing a decent job as a third leading forward.

Raph Clarke is a spud. He is pathetic. Turnovers, slow decisions, bad skills, he has the lot. He's been outmarked/beaten in every contest with his man so far.

Long way from home but we look shite. Clarke is a dud. get rid of him now.
First versus last. Wouldn't know it to look at it. Very ordinary effort thus far.
Go Saints.

Any chance we will hit a target bu hand or foot in the second half ????

Could be time for some reserves to play. In a game like this we are going to be thrashed by 100 by Geelong and be happy it wasn't moved to the G

Fatigue has set in the guys are tired they just canr't keep that effort up for this long there has to be some point where the body just says I carnt do it anymore.They might well win but the signs are that obvious the guys are dead on their feet at the moment.

I hate to say it, but the future is looking pretty grim for Raph.

Really bad decision making when the ball is in his hands and also reaction time is too slow. I was hoping he would really turn it on tonight especially as he is one of the few out there with fresh legs as it is only his 2nd week back in the team.

So Raph is a dud. I clearly remember just a few days ago everybody on this forum wanted Raph to replace Gram, and I wondered why?

Ross addressed the skill issue with the players straight after the game. Being interviewed on Foxtel now.

Wouldn't surprise me the skills have dropped off due to exhaustion.

Skills have been like that for the last few games......

I hate to see them under real pressure.
