Amazing Zac and Ray were let go...... glad they didnt turn out like McGough and Fiora !

Sundays game was a good hit out , it showed we can still play our game style to good effect . Sure we strangled the Pies , but they were pretty bad (how much of this was our game ?) How over rated were they ? Our run up to the finals seems to be working out fine. Two losses are forgotten already. Ge...

Another point re Sunday ...... Several shots at goal just failed to make the distance .....a little more OOMPF they would have been goals.

The team thing is good .....but if you are in range take the shot .
I am sure the forward coach will be on to this .

We are not going to get it easy come the GF

Mathews is an ideal choice . He is a man of few words but they are well worth listening too .

" i dont care how we win a flag. . " When RL started he had an 'unpopular' style , now it has this year evolved and it works. Remember chiplotto that was in our transition of game style period. Our current diciplined style is so different from our past style , it isnt as flashy or entertai...

No arrogance at all I would think.

Ross and the fitness guys will have them up and about playing their designated "Roles". Just need to add that extra 5-10% .

I think its going according to plan and the week off to freshen up.

Geelong are getting back to full strength , sights set on GF.

The point is we didnt NEED to smash the Pies ! Nice though it may have been. "4th .. turned it on once again to seal the game - then switched off to conserve when it was over .. So no we didnt smash em .. and we were far from flawless, but we turned it on when it counted .. and I'm full of conf...

What did we all think ????

Opp teams cant cover everyone ...They know Milne , Schnieder but who is McQualter.
" I think our 'wild card' is McQualter. "
He is unobtrusive then pops up for a cool goal !

Schnieder .....dont worry about him at all.

He has been great IMO

'Basically,. the problem stemmed from the umpire's inconsistency."

as with Schnieder last week ...... Move on, as the ump will NEVER change their minds ...spraying will only attract a penalty so what does it achieve to spray at the ump ???

" Hit hard and often early and half their side will put up the white flag imo."

We show little signs of returning to this play . I know against the Denons was a dead rubber as was the previous two weeks .

" I could see the body language start to change in the last quarter yesterday.. Gilbert got it together, Mini started to to get back into things as did Roo, and Montagna started to put his head over the ball and ran harder than he has been doing for a couple of weeks. A good game from King and ...

"One thing is for sure, there will be absolutely NO excuses for Dal Santo this finals series. He was shocking against North and his sense of urgency will be ultimately tested this September."

He needs to impose himself on the game come the Finals .....

I agree with "How many times do the other players actually kick it to Gwilt. "

Gwilt has shown a bit recently IMO. Plus he is a well built unit.
Needs to be used more as a kick to player. Plan B when Kosi and Roo get too much attention.

Should have known "he aint changing his mind."

Lucky it wasnt in a Final !!!

Fishers game was good compared to previous weeks .

Also Gwilt was ok too.

Baker is down and slow .

Watched the replay ......Baker didnt do much ...... is short on pace , has curbed his impact game .

What is his future ??????

"I heard Ball will be back in this week, and have a ripper finals series for the Saints..." I am hoping he is back as supposedly he is fit again . All the talk of RL trying to get Ball to change his current style to something different seems to undervalue his contribution to the in and und...

Giving a 5 goal start is not on . It was one of those days where everything seemed to go their way (mostly) , and it didnt really matter for us. Our loss was due to lack of concentration (ie Zac watching his man instead of the ball ) Lack of clearances ( missing Hayes & Ball) Inaccuracy in front...

Not happy with his effort last week .....went to sleep and spectated while North guy kicked a goal.

Second week of poor effort ......after he got a contract too !!!!!

Schnieder, Ball , Milne , Roo , Kosi , DalSanto , Gram

What I would like to see : Use it as a training drill to sharpen up skills. Sharp hanball, accurate kicking around the ground , running past etc and (Zac please be awake and not a spectator ) (Scnieder ..no clapping please) Result I dont care .... just dont get belted or injured!!! Thats all folks !!!

Shouldnt we just back off a little in crtiticism of Ross? Surely it would be nice to go into the finals with the momentum of winning. But is that the ideal ? Then again our coaches know what they are doing re finals. We should have a bit of faith that they will have the boys up and going come Septem...

Should be a lesson for all players ... Schnieders action of clapping twice was stupid , what did he think was going to happen ??? The pay back came later in the game .....was it worth it NO The players have to put up with decisions they dont like and move on . Hopefully its a timely reminder to the ...
