Did anyone else notice Owens hand position holding the ball on his set shot early Q1? Very bizarre and no real wonder he missed

Why do you let sides back in.

Yeah noticed that too, holding the top of the ball with the tips of his fingers, very odd.

He’s started well tho

All on display there that Riley boner is a bloody dud. Streaming into forward 50 and just kicks it to an eagles player with the goals clear and Liam Henry on his own. I can’t stand why people think he’s a good player. Because he isn’t.

What a horrible, wasteful quarter. 23 I/50s for 6 shots and 2 on the full. Abominable.

Bonner doing Bonner things. And the c0ckhead do gooders fans will wonder why even the die hards couldn’t be stuffed leaving the couch in 10deg weather to watch it.


Go you red, black & white warriors

21 inside 50s

3 goals

1 goal lead even though we dominated

Same old story- we allow teams to stay in the game even with good field position

There’s a big cult that love him on STKFC reddit. He’s so bad. Ross wants him there so they can put Sinclair in the middle to give some pop in the midfield. But I think Schoenmaker or even a Hastie would do a better job.

A lot of people like to knock King. But boy he would be useful in the forward line today. Or Caminiti, for that matter.

Ross should consider pushing Battle forward. Or even Howard.

Absolutely dominated most of that quarter, the result being a one goal advantage.

Probably sums up our year perfectly and our inability to score.

We have to be able to play better than this.
