Wake up fellas!
Well done Jones - first to the ball and draws the free.
This says it all. Intensity, clean with the ball, first to the ball. What happened to spread and run of last week. getting 22 points in a half of footy is poor but letting the bottom side get 53 is disgusting when its done so easily at times.
Get back to the basics your coach expects from you guys.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Unless fumbling, spraying the ball and letting your man play well is playing well.
You must be watching a different game or just letting your bias rule your senses
Lance or James??

30k at Etihad makes us about $0, doesn't it? And I think the NZ game makes us $500k. Big difference there!

What bias?
If you think he is playing well you must be biased.
Props to the lions pressure. Every time we link up some play a desperate lion gets a hAnd in. They r everywhere. Shows how much we rely on rooey. Stop him and we struggle to score.

We've got to get over the safe haven approach of Etihad Stadium. We need to be able to say any day, any place.
We need to up the forward pressure to stop the simple run by Brisbane fro defence. This would be a tart to repairing this. The secon part is not to give it back to them so easily by poor disposal efficiency. Okay we also need to protect the ball carrier to get them the time to dispose the ball correctly.

Any time there is a loose ball, they are there in numbers.

Comes down to effort by the players. Don't care if its ugly for a while but get the contested footy back or Richo will have to make changes quickly in the third quarter. No point sitting on a player effort if they don't deliver. Will need a change up look to get this back.

Good teams win on the road. It shows us where we are at as a team atm. A fair way off.
Boys seem off tonight, just an oposit of last weeks attack and pressure. I am hoping Ritcho really hammers in the room with what this means. If I was in the room I would make them all watch ww1 and ww2 footage to get their heads together. Hope a different Saints team comes out for the 3rd

Not sure he's touched it?
People who sing his praises should watch him a bit closer.
MacEvoy did that with his first touch in AFL football. Did you apply the same critic to him????
Lance or James??

Better than us on the road. More focused. More mature. More desperate.

Thought the same thing WW, we play a lot in the dry warm dome.... So many fumbles tonight.
Hayes dunstan Monty Saunders Steven need to win more clearance. Once lions get it to the outside we r screwed. Ricoh will talking possession tooth. We're breaking down on the half forward line and the rebound is putting defence under huge pressure. Dempster billings outstanding. Hayes working hard but not using footy well with lions pressure. Hopefully roo will blowup his defender and start getting some separation. Stanley barely touched It. This is yr night savage!!
