McCartin had 15 metres on his opponent on his last lead.. Bruce just had to get it near him.
Great grab Paddy there .

Re: Saints vs Power match day thread
Anyone, can you identify the ground conditions? No calling of slipping but the fumbling, ball handling and kicking not being lauded commentators. 1 Goal 7 Behinds!?
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Re: Saints vs Power match day thread
Same amount of shots..
20 points down.
More contested possies and more marks.
More tackles, more entries.
Dmac to Sinclair and its game on.

Re: Saints vs Power match day thread
Good to see the pressure is up and the contested possessions increasing. Just need some accuracy in kicking.

How is that not a free kick to Dunstan?
Did not take possession.

Re: Saints vs Power match day thread
Our forward 50 entries are disgusting.
Just long bombs to a pack and hoping Bruce or Paddy can take a ripper.
Considering Bruce had struggled to take a grab in the last couple of weeks it's not the best idea

Re: Saints vs Power match day thread
Inside 50s we lead 30-25.
It is our kicking inside 50 that is hurting us.

Re: Saints vs Power match day thread
THese F50 entries are killing us.
We have gone in like this in at least a dozen games this year. We never score this way.

Re: Saints vs Power match day thread
it's free kick every day of the week.as was the strike on Hickey's face. but we're talking afl umpiring here - it's a crap shoot, especially playing away and the free is inside fifty.bigred wrote:How is that not a free kick to Dunstan?

Re: Saints vs Power match day thread
Faaark frustrating to hear the lost opportunity this quarter and the panicking up forward. We need the Leadership on the ground in the forward zone to be loud and clear. That's you Schneids, Armo, Jack Steven (not panicking players like Weller).

That's because we just bomb in long and don't look for a leading target!
It's like playing jack-in-the-pack back in school!
