While it is windy we have to run the ball forward as our kicking skills are not up to it. There is protection from the wind by the grandstand at the Subi end for shots on goal.
Right now, we absolutely suck, do we have a forward line? Do we have any forwards?
Do they do skills training? Keep playing like this we will struggle to win any games let alone make the finals.
Come on Saints find some frigging form!!!!!
12 inside 50's to 8 yet we are down. Very inefficient going forward. Again.

1 goal v West Coast in first quarter - not a good sign. In the past 4 games the most goals we've kicked in a quarter is 4 v Essendon. What's happened Saints? Can't blame all this on Roo missing.

Nothing wrong with the forwards its the forward entries that are the problem.

another quarter and hardly a goal kicked....at least we will hang in there and have a shot in the second half if we have no intention of scoring..
Solid in defense, winning our fair share through the middle, but cannot hit a target inside 50. From there, we lack the forward pressure we had last year and consequently the ball rebounds out too quickly. This puts pressure on our "one paced" to stop their run before it moves too quickly and easily into their forward line.
Key areas for improvement - delivery inside 50 and forward pressure.

Like last week, so much of the footy, but nothing done with it, and then the Eagles still look the more dangerous side when running forward with plenty of space ahead...just wonder if they have the personnel to pull off what Essendon did last week (assuming this trend continues)?

I dont think game style has anything to do with poor skills.
Agree. Game style would be fine if we stopped turing it over. And if we kick our shots. Milne should have had that kick, but he passed. Peake should have nailed it. Gotta take your chances.
