Saw a bit of the stream- shocking skill errors from our experienced players, pretty poor work around the packs, clearances etc.

We look disinterested and slow.

Yes its a practice match, but you should start how you mean to finish.

Goal to Greene.

Could playing in 35 degree heat last week have anything to do with this sluggish performance??

You honestly think it doesnt matter. tell me you are joking. Last game before the real stuff against a side that will win no more than 3 games and we have our best side in bar injuries. Confirmed further.

Lol, watched some before on the stream. The boys don't look keen at all. St Kilda footy club should reimburse us for our Net usage, lol

If we were dominating, it would mean something... If we are losing, it means little...

It's disappointing if we have a near full strength side and can't smash a bunch of kids and some average senior players?!

BM what's the point of playing flat out in a praccy match when the real stuff starts in 2 weeks and on top of that we play the same team for 4 points in round 3....

Whats the point of not playing flat out? 2 weeks to recover.

Plugger go bait elsewhere. Bay 13 on BigFooty would be a perfect fit for you.

Roo with one of the worst shanks of all time. Marked by Milera. Passes to Monty.

Misses to the right.

How is it baiting. We should be trying to play our best and people come up with excuses. My question was a simple one. If you have no answer just say so but dont start that crap.

Labouring in the heat.

Personally I wouldn't want them labouring in the heat...if I was coach.

Had a stinkin hot preseason, not ideal.

The umpiring is awful- the praccy matches at least make you realise the normal ones aren't so bad. They are not going that bad.

Crap? Plugger why should we play our best? It's a praccy match. A match where the only thing I worry about is how the new blokes go and hopefully no injuries.

So now your turn why should we play our best in a praccy match in the 4th match in a row where the temp has been 30 degrees plus????

Who's got GWS rd 1?

They started well last year as well, especially their defence.

Swans is it?

As much a danger game for them as Suns to Saints.
