6:15 v 15:6
yes it was a terrible game, but look at the score, we missed shots, and its as simple as that.
a few years ago we kicked 18:2 and 15:5 in consecutive games (early 90s?) and folks were hailing our offence.
we created the same number of opportunities last night
that said, we played well below our best and IMO roos team, except in front of goal, did very well.
too few players put their hands up and carried us over the line.
I noticed banger took some mature and deft safe possessions in the final minutes while others were flustered.
dissapointed a few folks kicked it into packs when we needed cool heads.
aside from that 4 points is 4 points.
we could easily have lost and the recriminations would be have been harsher.
st kilda showed how good we can be, before we got reigned in.

The kicking has to improve, it really does...
Also on Harvey he really caught my attention in the last few minutes, a couple of those runs and kink ups could be fresh in the umps minds come votes time, might snag one, pushing him closer to that record

Re: 6:15 v 15:6
i wasn't at the game and have only just watched the replay but there seemed to be a "bermuda triangle" at one end of the ground where goals simply disappeared from the face of the earth.
according to the commentators only one goal was kicked to that end for the entire match.
was it the lockett end i wonder?

Agree guys about the kicking for goal. How many seasons has this been a problem for us? Time after time we make the running, particularly early, then blow it by not being able to impose scoreboard pressure.
The positive is that it is only round one and most, if not all, teams, struggle to kick goals against Sydney.

they should be doing this 5 times a week.bigcarl wrote:50 set shots at goal this week for schneider, milne, montagna, kosi and fiora, all of whom missed shots at goal they should have nailed.
there were probably a few others as well.
i thought they would be doing this already?
christ id be grabbing a few blokes to retrieve footies and doing it nearly every night.
speaking of witch, does anyone here go to practice, how much time is spent on goal kicking?
how many times a week do they actually train/practice?
excuse my ignorance im interstate

You never get an opportunity in a game where you're not buggered after having made 4 or 5 full sprint leads after jogging for 10 minutes.
Technique is important but so is kicking for goal when you're heart rate is high. Credit to Roo as he has improved in this area.

Mate - it was against the Bummers (Ess) at the G' in 1993?? 18.2 was our score.

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.
