Frustrating players.
Who are the 5 current listed Saints players that frustrate you the most during games. Whether it be there skills, attitude, effort or just a combination of lots of things. We can love the player for all they give us but at the same time they can be frustrating.
For mine -
1. Dal Santo (Skills are undeniable but looks like he never gets out of a jog).
2. Milne (Can he kick the ball straight or does everything have to be a snap?)
3. Blake (Effort is fantastic never gives less than 100% but just don't let him get the ball disposal is a concern).
4. Roo (As a forward he is supposed to kick goals and he misses far too many. Everything else he does is top notch can't fault the work rate)
5. Gehrig (Maybe he is past it and shouldn't have come back i don't know but just seems to have lost something has not made much of an impact on games yet he is our best kick for goal in the forward line.)

Dal - has not stepped up to the elite level
Fiora - comes across as soft in terms of consistently putting his head over the ball
Kosi - shows why he is great at times but has the tendancy of going missing, also his kicking for goal is shocking at present
Raph - Has the ability but his confidence and present fear of opponents let him down
X - Like Kosi in the sense that he has shown a bit but not the whole package and not 100% of the time!

Those that dont frustrate me are:avid wrote:I'll tell you the five that DON'T frustrate me:
Hayes, Montagna, S Fisher, Schnieder.
Hold on, that's only four.
1 Lenny - ball getter,
2 BJ - hero, he hits targets usually , takes quality marks and protects players.
3 Joey - long kicking a treat,
4 King - doing solids work in the middle
5 Leigh Fisher - this year has been all right,
Those that frustrate me (in order)
1 Fiora - no impact to team game, great talent but hasn't kicked a set shot goal in years
2 Kosi -great pack crash mark but kicking goes off and hasn't yet contributed for enough minutes on the ground over 2008
3 Raph - slow, gets caught, doesnt seem to read the play well at times, turnover king,
4 Blake - tireless worker but also a turnover king, does not protect players well.
5 Fraser - champion but is just not moving around.
6 Sam Fisher - disposal this year has not been as good and resulted in many turnovers.
Yes, my frustration is due to easy goals for the oppo from turnovers / poor disposal.
Rising stars ove 2008 IMO
1 Clinton Jones - shown improvement and has pace.
2 Armitage - potentially a starter.
3 Dempster - give him time, he might provide valuable midfield support.
4 Michael Grdiner - tap ruckman, good team support, ball carrier protector.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency
