Weller,Joyce, Longer, Gilbert and Wright we wouldn’t even beat Carlton we’ve these blokes in the team let alone a team in the top 4.
Newnes, Geary and Savage must be on borrowed time as well.

Kept on giving the ball back to them - we are turnover kings.

It was under 14’s in this department today.Trixilver wrote:Our skills by hand were attrocious today. I lost count of the amount of times we'd recieve a handball under pressure or have to stretch to get it and fall over in the process. It hasn't been that bad all year so hopefully it's just a one-off.

Do we practice handball to moving targets at training?
Maybe we do, but only to win a man grab bag.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 16 2018
Agreed. The worse thing is that an ageing, broken Armo is still a better version of Dunstan and Ross.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 16 2018
I think we take what we can for McCartin...........trade him out as he's just a liability down there, he ain't going to make it.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 16 2018
I am absolutely shocked to see that Gilbo and Wright failed to have an impact.

Newnes. (I didn't think he was very good at all - sorry if it differed from your view that he was good) And my comment on continually giving the ball back was about the team in general.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 16 2018
Thought the effort and contest was good, just lacked skill and talent against a top 4 team on the road. Delivery into the forward line was poor - McCartin and Membrey given little help with the kicks in.
We are not a good list with our bet 22 so take out - Bruce/Battle, Carlisle, Acres, Brown, Roberton, Stevens, realistically effort and a contest is all you can expect

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 16 2018
Despite displaying plenty of spirit and plenty of effort, the Saints ultimately lacked the necessary polish to upset the Power at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday. Having lost a number of forward options to injury during the week, it was no surprise that it was an inability to finish that ultimately cost them dearly. After displaying elite conversion against Melbourne, with 18 goals from 50 forward entries, it took them 22 inside 50’s before scoring their opening major against Port Adelaide.
Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.
