good constructive comments here so far

anyone got some ideas or do you just want to vent your spleens

Seriously, Mullet? The coaches collectively get millions of dollars a year to adequately prepare the team. If this was a one off, or a poor run of form, I'd understand, but this happens week after week. I know we're crap in terms of talent, but even in the dim, dark ages of the 80's, the team would put up an effort before fading badly late in games. That is understandable with poor teams. Why does this team seem to be incapable of bringing any sort of effort, early in games? It's a joke. Either the players aren't trying, are inadequately prepared, or the coaching staff is terrible at its job. Probably a combination of all three.

or we are tanking

midfield got killed in first half of that quarter. Second to the ball is never a good starting point. Mentally I'm an not sure where joey is at, armo quiet and steven still not at his best.
Worked back into it thanks partly to some great pressure and run from the likes of wright, also we pushed numbers back and then slingshot.

Like spencers work when he gets it, needs to work harder to create leads. Big bodies need to block for him but good start.

Just need to up the pressure, tackling and hard ball gets is what I will be looking at.

I don't have foxtel, can anyone tell me where Shenton is playing?

Yeah, I'd be interested too. 7 touches and 1 goal 1 behind at quarter time is a solid return. Making a late bid for retention next year?

Hard to tell watching Foxtel....my guess is he's playing half back as usual...Fisher also kicked a goal and he's playing in the backline too....Our forward line is difficult to describe...they're mostly not in the forward line......And I reckon those green magots may have sympathy for us...a couple of soft frees...

GO SAINTS!!!!

Is Richo the worst motivational speaker we've had ?
In most of our losses this year , the game has been as good as over at quarter time .
I know we don't have the talent but FFS i'm sick of watching shite 1st quarter's .
What the hell is he saying ! cos it ain't working .

Great constructive post.

Tigers and I both thought it was over too early

[sainters85]

time to start converting and kicking goals instead of points

[stjohnc]

Are we the only team that get penalised for holding the ball

[sunsaint]

much better second quarter - with an increase in intensity

loved a defensive second effort from white - Im warming ...

[Toy Saint]

Sam Fisher going OK, some clean marks

[sainters85]

[bigcarl]

[Verdun66]

Well he may have said something inspirational at quarter time, Saints looking much better

no pain like tiger fans pain. Just when they start to strut their balloon bursts.

For someone who doesn't have access to tv can somebody tell me WTH is going on? From what I can tell from the AFL app the tiges kicked 6 without us getting near it and now we've kicked 4.3 to 0. Looks like we're all over them.

[Russman]

We are seriously back in the game now.
I wish we could stop giving our opposition head starts each week.

yeah seriously. post something constructive . You only come on here to whinge. and your answer sack the coach seriously!!!!

[sainters85]

looks like the tigers r back

[Devilhead]

Tigers getting a run on now - we need to stop it and get it back under 15 pts before half time

[sainters85]

hopefully White can get a few more touches

[Freebird]

we will never be any good if we run free and kick the ball across ground to a contest...jack this is why you need to cherish your disposal to be valuable to us not 50/50. Why would you kick from forward flank to chf to a contest ffs

[sainters85]

hate seeing so many opportunities wasted
