Have our boys actually turned up? Eagles are playing all over them at the moment! And what i wouldnt give to choke the fool the Ox if i had another station other than 6pr i would not be listening to SEN that for bloody sure!
Time to regroup and compose we need to put more pressure on their mids and their defense! Cmon boys win this and we go above the Filth!!!!
Getting thrashed around the packs -umpires have thrown the rule book away when Saints in possession -no pressure from our small forwards -Gardiner hopeless- Hayes getting lots of touches but not much support - CJones the only other Saint really putting in hard -shocking skillserror from experienced players like Goddard, Fisher and Fiora.
Isnt this a similar story to the BL v WC, in that WC charged at them in the first half and faded out towards the end. Hopefully sainters kick on after the break! They need an absolutel drilling!!

It's not just Roo, the whole team is being led to the ball. They just don't seem to want it enough.
Well disappointing satrt by the sounds of it so far - but I don't know why anyone here is sur[prised. We have an appalling record at Subiaco and it seems we are just thyinking right now that we only need to turn up to win... Positives are Hayes and Fisher carving them up which helps my SC. But we are in real trouble at the moment - I can sniff a MASSIVE upset brewing if they don't pull up their socks!

He's the bloke who no Saint will go with 20 metres off at the moment -his opponent should be kicked up the backside bigtime -he ran rings around us in that quarter.
Too many Saint players watching the contest around packs, and WCE are easily getting the ball out.
I reckon the team thought this would be a pushover.
* We've really missed Gram, who was playing a great link role early.
* We've not adjusted well to being without Max.
BUT
* If Monty steps up, into Gram's role of being a key playmaker for inside 50s, then we can go into a more effective attacking mode.
* If we move whoever is on Staker, and get a more effective match up there, we will do better.
* I think -34 of our players have been doing well (Hayes, Goddard, Fisher), but we need the rest to lift. Eg ask for more from Dal, Armitage, get the forward line working a bit more effectively.
Geeze...thats what arrogance and cockiness does to you...
We started well.......but then the ego cut in and the sloppy disposal started big time.
Max and Gram goin down has not helped...but what is in the players head is the biggest problem.
We have let them back in the game and the WC players are fired up now....and the WC crowd to...which means umpiring decisions get missed like that weagle through 30m out when tackle and goals miss.
Still it gets back to our players..they have t sahrapen up and get fair dinkum again
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
i noticed lenny and dal santo were directing ppl to staker early in the 2nd q so obviously whoever is on him isnt sticking to him- that or ross is proving to us that he is a bloody idiot by leaving west coasts best affield opponentless. probably the latter. hopefully he can fix the matchups at half time and give them a much deserved spray.
For those idiots that think we should trade Kosi need to take a look at this game.
Whether he kicks goals or not, he straightens us up and fights like hell to keep the ball inside our 50. He is RARELY outmarked and provides a GENUINE forward target.
In all honesty we'd have been better off with Allen than Gardiner as a forward replacement.
This game has an ugly ugly feel to it. I never want to have to listen to a game on the internet again.
Our second halves have been good the last three weeks, Time to turn it on again.
"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."
