Game Day: Power V Saints

[BackFromUSA]

Go saints!

Excited to see our efforts!

[Milne]

I want to see the boys give it a red hot go, and minimise the skill errors.

Need a big season from Bruce. He tailed off a fair bit towards the end of last season.

Happy Easter Sunday everyone! Lets hope the Easter Bunny brings us all something even sweeter than chocolate this afternoon. CARNNNNNN THE SAINTERSSSS!!!

Man-Bun showed great skills early on. He didn't "tail-off", I think other coaches worked out how to negate him. It's what backline coaches do. Our poor delivery into F50 doesn't help, either. We only have Roo as another marking target; Membrey didn't show much, so highly skilled defenders could easily defend.

I agree that other teams learned to negate him, and about the poor delivery. Stats wise he definitely tailed off though (and was often scoring goals in junk time). We need a big season from him this year if we are to hurt other teams on the scoreboard.

I slightly more excited today than I have been all week.

That's partially because both the Pies and Essendon got thumped last night, which together with Carton losing has made the start to 2016 an excellent one.

.....and if we do get trounced today, I could start packing for Hawaii which is happening on Tuesday!

We cant rely on one player. Always been the problem with the Saints. Need to get over the "messiah" mentality and become a champion team. Richo will get us there. Bruce is only a link in a chain. He gets plenty of good delivery to his advantage, he'll kick 50+ goals. Simple really.

Add freo to that too....

Finally... what a long off season

Go Saints...

[Bluthy]

Should we be showing so much of our inner match tactics the way they showed with Joey? I worry we are too media friendly these days. We should play some cards close to our chest.

[Sawf]
