With 10 seconds to go in the third
We had held our opposition to 4 goals in 7 quarters, fantastic stuff
Step up 3 of the greatest junk time players Mihocek, Thomas and Cox, who have become experts at getting last quarter kicks to hold their spots in the team. If you don’t believe me check out their stats
I thought we had a great win today, we completely outplayed our opponents across the board
Yes we stopped but all we need is the 4 points, % is done we are never going to get that back.
We need to win 6 more games and we will play finals

If we can’t run out games when we’re in the winners box seat, there is no way we’re playing finals.

Lions, Port and WCE are our next 3 games.
2 out of 3 wins will be needed to keep the season alive.

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
Probably couldn’t find a worse ‘win’ than that.

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
Under no circumstances should a side wanting to play finals believe that was an acceptable final quarter or win.
The OP discussed the Pies junk time players well what about our last quarter efforts?
St.Kilda have kicked a combined 1.6 in the last quarter from the last 3 games.. 12 points in 3 games.
Either we are playing an unsustainable game style, the players are mentally soft or the team is not fit enough. We have fallen off cliffs in games nearly every week it's just inexcusable!

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
We came out in the last quarter with the same defensive mindset as in the last quarter of the final v Dogs last year. Basically went into our shell and invited the opposition back into the game

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
Hopefully that near 100 point spanking today has the WCE shell shocked. Also always think we're a chance against the Lions.
Need not be said but it's a yuge game next week.

Accepting performances like that as ‘good’ is probably why we’ve won 1 premiership in 100+ yearsTrev from the Bush wrote: ↑Sun 04 Jul 2021 8:32pmI am sure YOU could Dudley. You are the grand wizard at finding bad in Saints wins!

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
The last quarter fade-out was yet again a prime example of the team lacking strong on-field leadership, an issue that they really need to do some hard work on. I could not see a single player taking the initiative after Collingwood started scoring their 6 goals to get the players together in a huddle and lay down the law to stop the rot.
I accept that a win is a win and that's great, but they wasted the opportunity when leading by 7 goals at 3/4 time to get a big boost in their percentage, so crucial if they want to play finals!
Maybe the players felt sorry for Harves???

It if wasn’t for Ryder who was magnificent again, we would have lost.

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
With 15 seconds to go in the second, Brad Hill had the ball under no pressure near the boundary at half back. He chipped a pass inboard and hit a Pies player on the chest. We were lucky De Goey missed the shot.

Lead all day with 8 best 22 missing. No complaints here we’ve overtaken Collingwood going forward.

I could see a mindset at the start of the last .. they started chipping around and weren't taking the game on, were they told to relax and hold the lead ?
If so Ratten nearly blew the game... it wouldn't matter so much except it has happened before, The crows game and there were more.
I'm not the only one that thought half way through the last it was going to be another nightmare. Hard to have a real confidence in this lot.

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
Definitely saved by the bell, can't take anything from that game other than the 4 points.
Only 7 games to go. F**k knows how many of them we can win.
So far we are about pick 8 in the draft.

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
And the exact opposite from Collingwood - Pendles took the third quarter address and I imagine basically said - I am going - who is coming with me?
All of Collingwood walked taller after that.

Why didn’t he do it earlier in the game?
Steele and Co had his team up for 3 quarters.

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
Posters should not forget we had 8 of our starting 22 missing and we haven't beaten the filth for 4 years.
Style we play is extremely taxing and our guys need to get fitter if that is even possible, or change the game style to something more manageable.
All in all a satisfactory result not withstanding the somewhat deflating 4th quarter.

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
You wouldnt say that if you had of watched the VFL game today. Collingwood have far more depth on their list and a better future. They will get the best and youngest Daicos for just draft points at years end. All they need is a more attacking coach, a key forward target and they will leap frog us in 6 months.

Re: With 10 seconds to go in the third
Pendlebury was singled out for his lack of defensive effort for a captain.
Steele on the other hand had 36 laid 14 tackles and was BOG by a country mile!
Who was the better leader on the day?!
If we are looking at something lacking this season, Jack Steele hasn’t been it. He will win the TB Medal by a record number of votes.
