We missed Dal

Post: # 957865Post St Loxton »

He's class around the packs was sorley missed today, their mifield was all over us. Hayes tried his guts out as usual, as did Joey, but Dals finish with the ball is what we needed. Need him back next week.

Both would not have made any difference today.

You're probably right, but he lack of presence was felt.

I thought maybe Goddard would do the job today (that Dal Santo would normally do), but I thought he didn't really have much of an impact. Everyone had an off day, Hayes tried very hard though.

Yes, we did miss him... not that he would have made all the difference, but he would have helped.

Dal would have hit targets and given some run that we lacked.

Ray, Gram and Peake all had average games and it showed.

Thought the same. Armo would have got in and under for us.

Not a huge Dempster fan, I am afraid.

What would have helped is a few guys kicking straight.

Collingwood slotted goals from set shots on extreme angles and from long range.
St Kilda could not kick straight from short range dead in front from set shots.

Schneider 4 goals, Riewoldt 2 extra goals, Koschitzke an extra goal, Geary a simple goal, and the game has a competitive result.

Going into time on in the final quarter St Kilda had more scoring shots than Collingwood despite having played crap all day.

Dal could have made the difference IMO

all it would have taken is for 1 player to square up a few excellent passess to Roo or Kosi early and our whole "don't attack under any circumstances" mentality would have changed

Dal plus scoreboard pressure (kicking goals not points) would have got us over the line.

In fact just kicking 16 goals 6 (vs their 15goals 10), with or without Dal would have also got us over the line.

and if my Auntie had a beard she'd be my uncle .

We didn't need someone to get in and under, Lenny does that. We needed some to use the ball constructively. Armo's not fit anyway, hasn't played for weeks.

He played last week but yes needs at least one more in the twos.
