melb selected 2 unfit players and have dropped they're intensity half-way through the 2nd 1/4
IMO the saints will run this out convincingly
the concern is that its rd22 and the saints are experimenting with their line up
Dawson looks gone for all money
King looks vulnerable
Gardi, Ball and Max look like walk ups and it's still Dempster and Eddy VS Geary and Armitage, I know who I rather see next week

All true but they look the better side in effort, skill (ffs) and run and tackling (those things we used to pride ourselves on).matrixcutter wrote:so robo is retiring (last game for the high flyer from melb) and Stynes is in the stands (seriously ill and has made it for the last game this year) and u think they arent going to try?
u expect them to tank?
i certainly didnt
Not happy and if this skill level remains we will go out in 2 finals without a whimper.
Not happy with the number of passengers particularly from our second string players. Too few doing enough in terms of effort and run for creativity.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Even more worried now!
SAINTS are playing like million dollar pretenders!
Wheres the strong aggressive attack on the ball, where the cfhasing and harrassing, wheres the run off half back, where is the take risks through the centre to set up forwards. SAINTS have shown nothing against the bottom team - who dont even want to win!
Talk about getting ahead of themselves the SAINTS are that far ahead of themselves that in their minds they have won the 2009 flag and are playing in 2010 pre season competition. Thats how lame their performance has been.
Worrying signs for the finals SAINTERS!!!

Maybe Timmy did get one thing right when he said the team had "Heads like Boarding House Puddings".
This appears to be the case again but I cant fathom why when they play like this!
