5 positives - 5 negatives
Positives
Stoppage work improving weekly
Saints fans were vocal tonight, really felt like a cauldron
Kosi flying high, great to see him getting his confidence back (5 contested marks tonight)
Lenny still our BOG
James and Adam are ready soon
Negatives
The turnovers continue
Over-officiated IMO
I penciled that one in for a win
Lenny still our BOG
James and Adam aren't ready yet

Re: 5 positives - 5 negatives
Great thread idea K
Positives:
Contested ball
Run and ball movement
Geary
Dempster
Thought McEvoy played a great first half
Negatives:
Thought Fisher was really quiet
Dal Santo tagged by Crowley
Didn't like Milera's double bounce
Saints members area full right across the wing
Accuracy
The members area is a positive. Not sure how it appeared in the -ve section, brain snap.

Free Kicks 12 12, dont see that being over officiated.

Re: 5 positives - 5 negatives
to me it was a bit more of a case of the free kicks they didn't pay that was telling
the no 50m penalty to Goddard grinded my gears

Perhaps the umps were trying to balance things up by giving them so many soft free kicks.

C'mon! There some shocking decisions that went against us and a handful of obvious ones they missed.plugger66 wrote:Sainternist wrote:A startling statisticclarky449 wrote:Free Kicks 12 12, dont see that being over officiated.![]()

Why not trying having a crack at the umps for once? It's a good form of catharsis

Re: 5 positives - 5 negatives
As good as he was, I actually thought Lenny was uncharacteristically "fumbly" last night, as were a few of the other boys
Re: 5 positives - 5 negatives
Positives
Geary - the new Bakes
Lenny - enough said.
Hands on footy - 60% in fwd half is impressive
Forward line - thought it competed well in air. tackles early in fwd 50 strong.
Youngsters - can keep bringing them through now - Ledger, Sipposs, Winmar, Ross
Negatives
Foot Skills - its a long way to look up from half back to half fwd with only "hard" pinpoint options in the middle. Sigh.
The "key" clearance-get the first, swamped on the receive. Poor teams can't stop the 2nd give, good teams can and do.
Pace - when it broke open a bit, Hill was dominant. Chasing butt # no fun
Offside rule - needs to be envoked because we tend to get forward of contest and when it gets out the back, its all over.
No selection changes leading into two 6 day breaks game

Contested ball

Kicking for goal was pretty poor
Delivery into the forward 50 was terrrrrible.
Defensive structure was a bit out of whack

Re: 5 positives - 5 negatives
Positives:
Our rucks effort to compete and strengths as forward targets
Geary
Gilbo's goals
Roos work rate
We won in most kpi's last night
Negatives:
Umpires killed us with free kicks that turned the tide at crucial moments.
Players didn't go out there last night and get excited and enjoy their footy (Lyon's cliches and philosophies kept repeating in their heads and there were bad memories all week floating around in their minds)
The forwards need to be as hungry for the footy as Milney and Roo and provide more options.
Players running through the wings and centre need to ignore Roo if he has a backman right next to him (he's not the player he was 3-4 years ago)
Watters needs to be pro-active, not re-active (I was disappointed that there weren't more team changes when the line-ups were announced- this needs to be a year of opportunity - freshness and change rejuvinates and we need the whole playing list competing for spots).

Re: 5 positives - 5 negatives
The good:
Clearance work excellent
Contested footy excellent
Young players will improve a lot
Kosi close to dominating a game
Steven everywhere
The bad:
Umps still think Thommo is coaching us
