That quarter aged me 20 years

[plugger66]

Can someone ring Tobin Brothers please.

No offense but what does Ross say to the players at half time

"Ok boys we have given the supporters their moneys worth, now choke the life out of the game"

You are joking aren't you.

Coming off the bye, against the form team in the competition who are desperate to win, and who have been scoring heavily are held to 70 points.

They were spent and wanted to close the gamwe down.

One goal, even though the umpires tried to get North over the line, whould say they achieved what they wanted.

A good win.

First quarter EVER a scoreless qtr under lyon.

[SainterK]

So many people thought we wouldn't win, give em a break....they did, against a form side, very well IMO.

Go Saints!

Nothing wrong with saying to the boys

"ok, keep up the pressure, keep the ball down their defensive end, damage them on the scoreboard non stop"

I would rather run out of legs with a 50 point lead then have the other team anywhere near us in the last 5 minutes.

After all, I am sure I am not the only one who thinks we could use a percentage booster where we can get it.

[Griggsy]

Thought we were going the tank in the last 10 minutes.

[Dan Warna]

It did make my blood pressure go up.

We opened the door for them, they did choke in front of goal as well, which helped us.

Also when we did win the ball, we just seem to bomb it into the middle to let them reload.

fisher, Monty, gwilt, McEvoy seemed to be everywhere in that 4th quarter. it did seem like they were the only ones out there as well :/

JB....form team of the competition????

Surely you jest? What scalps have they claimed? Oh that's right Essendon. Sheesh.

The form team of the competition.......pfffffffft.

How bout the top 2 sides? Oh that's right they r in a different comp.

Geelong is in a different comp to Essendon. So they are still unbeaten.

[gringo]

Great umpiring display, loved the way they put the whistles away and did nothing controversial in the last quarter. Razor Ray must be the new Gieshen.

I don't wish to cause offence but I'm not sure you know what you're saying there.

If the whole team ran out of legs in the last quarter, a fifty point deficit could be overcome.

[spert]

One thing is plainly obvious by now, that going too defensive did not, and will not win us a premiership, and going into game-saver mode to cover a lack of a strong forward line has a limited future- it might get us into finals, but that's about all.

[borderbarry]

I thought that Lyon not using the sub until half way through the last quarter was very poor, and did nothing to ease the players from getting tired. Raph should have come on shortly after half time to have best effect.

[St DAC]

Who should he have subbed out at that time then?

[Thinline]

Who should he have subbed out at that time then?

With hindsight probably Schneider.

But the coaches would have read the physical signs and married that up with match ups, so Lynch it was.

Playing forward is farkin' exhausting these days...

Remember when it was just stand around and lead every now and then?

And if the senior, match hardened guys were struggling to see out the game it would have been very hard for someone like Lynch, who has missed games recently through injury and a Sandy bye.

Doubt very much he was subbed off because Ross didn't like what he was seeing.

Your Doc Avatar sorta looks like Ross Lyon.

Come on Stinger. You're better than that.

[Johnny Member]

Please excuse my ignorance - but how does the Bye make players more tired!?

And why does everyone want the Bye leading into the Grand Final if it's so hard to come up after?
