Lots of players completely off their game....
Goddard
Dal Santo
Blake
Milne
Gwilt
Riewoldt
Schnieder
All have made terrible decisions and are really off their games.....in the first half.....
Missed tackles, turn-overs, fumbles and lack of awareness....
We are in front easily through the efforts of
Jones, Mini, Dawson, Gilbert, Fisher.....and a few other lesser lights
and I love Luke Ball......but he is possibly the worst kick in the AFL.......
We have been WOEFUL!
and three players need a spell......you guess the ones...(hint - they make crucial errors)

When is Dempster ready to return? Baker didn't do much (from the TV anyway).

Agree. I thought we missed gram's run through the middle and I thought maybe raph should have been used in that role rather than as a defender.backit wrote:Dal and Milney were down but lifted when they needed to in the last qtr and thats what got us over the line today.
Poor conversion cost us, but having said that, the lions kicked better than you'd expect.
A good gutsy win in the end, but a shame we had to be headed to produce our best.

Gardiner probably more so. That was absolute domination in the ruck. Was great to watch.BigMart wrote:

St Flu
Can anyone confirm that the flu went through the Saints during the week? Heard someone saying that was the word in the Social club before the game?

The only good thing about today was that for the first time this season we found ourselves in a pressure situation half way through the last quarter.
and we responded magnificently !

5 prelims in 7 years. 40 wins from 49 games.
2009 and 2010 were 2 of the 5 best years ever by the St.Kilda FC.
Thanks for all your efforts Saints.

Re: Lots of players completely off their game....
I thought Schneider played really well today. 24 possessions, 4 tackles, mainly used the ball really well, one of his better games for mine...BigMart wrote:Goddard

Mate, their 2 loose defenders didn't help us either. Fair go.aussierules0k wrote:Let's just admit the Lions put us under pressure that we haven't seen this year.
We only ever got a shot at goal from hard angles.
The Lions are a great team.... but we won.... end of story.
We played a team that was 5-3 and lost 2 of those for less than 3 goals.

Finally you have me. My job at the club is I am a supporter. A hard job to do but there are 30456 other who do it as well.aussierules0k wrote:plugger66 wrote:Have always said this year we will not drop players from a winning side but that is when we play well as a winning side.

...ahhh OK. So could you tell us all exactly what job you have at the club?
You seem to have all the inside info.

meh. We gave Brisbane a sniff. You cannot afford to do that in this comp. It is far too even.
Kicked ourselves into trouble in the first half. Quite seriously this could..COULD have been a blowout. What was it? Two goals, nine behinds in the second?
Increase that to say Five goals in the second and we would have been a lot further out.
Bad kicking is bad football. Plain and simple. We still looked flat. Our pressure is down and it is a concern. We still got the points, but it is a concern.
The response in the last was good to see. Lifted.
Joey is most definately an elite mid now.
Schnieder's work was awesome.
Gardy...Absolutely dominant. Such a good story this guy. He is really giving us some great first use.
There were positives, but a few more negatives to be honest.
Gotta be careful that we dont let the wins paper over the cracks somewhat.
