Our no 1 issue that is killing the Saints! There are many others issues of course which I won't list here, but its still our no 1 problem.
It cost us a finals spot last year and has really damaged our season this year. I was shaking my head when we were 0.6 (all goals were gettable too) at one point last night...again!

Perhaps we have spent too long drafting good blokes rather than good kicks? Or perhaps the fitness gurus don't let them practise goal kicking fatigued in case of injury. How many times do you have a shot for goal fresh- rarely
