Most frustrating thing watching the saints

[saintpaul74]

It happens week in week out.
A lack of ability to score multiple goals while having most of the play.
Large periods of time we can be dominating play and yet we dont get the goals and end up with nothing to show.
Its so frustrating.
Apart from the hawks game they just cannot kick away and take charge of a game.

I hear you saintpaul.

[saint-stu]

Can't take a mark in the forward line

[derby Street]

Are we the most unskilled team in the comp ?

No, but we are the most backward kicking team in the comp

[Johnny Member]

I'm almost prepared to declare that we're the worst coached team in the comp too.

[WellardSaint]

first qtr they reckon we went inside 50 about 3 times more than doggies.

Why can't we kick goals then?
This is absolute garbage

[saintpaul74]

We should have been 3-4 goals up at qtr time not trailing by 1.

[Newman]

Yep we won all the stats in first q and were still losing. Forward line is just not functioning. I think we felt compelled to put McCartin in side after all the media pressure. He just doesn't have what it takes at present - I wish Bruce was in. McCartin not to blame but with Riewoldt out and our former best forward Bruce missing we look rabble in fwd line. Well .... finals maybe in 2018 - after next week's loss to Port Adelaide ... we won't make it.

Adelaide are going to smash us if we don't fix things up quickly

I can't see what we are going to change though?

We do the same thing every week, and execute it poorly every week.


Even when we execute it well, we still underwhelming.

The elephant in the room...the forward line coach.

Dreadful, insipid performance. I totally agree. Shocking skills, out-coached, lazy, terrible decision making. Wholesale changes needed. Starting with Longer. If he can't kick, what's he doing in the side?

I'm horribly afraid you may have a point JB.

But is it the forward line - or the way it comes in? Or both?

I don't think John Coleman and Tony Lockett would kick many in our forward line the way we bring the ball in.

It's been a year since this, and nothing has been done to improve it.

For the President to boast that we're on the right track, is laughable considering the same problems we have now were repeatedly identified over a year ago.
