Dogs seem to be working harder but we're making the most of chances

Max King will regret getting drafted to StKilda. Would have had three frees if he was a WB player.

Missed two absolute sitters, still surprised we’re not a few goals down, the dogs butchered a few shots too.

Looks like we can’t move the ball unless the Dogs make a mistake, but they can run right through us and our backline has been putrid.

Max should’ve swallowed that mark but we’ll forgive him in his second game!!

Dogs must have got goal kicking tips from us


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Why the f*** do the saints keep recruiting footballer who can't hit the side of the barn. Jones kicking is f****** horrible. :twisted:

Not as bad as the posts here would suggest.

We look average moving the ball out of defence in a contested situation... kicking it long to vacant dogs mids

The flip side is if we can run the ball, we look incredibly dangerous IMO

Could be further ahead if we made the most of our opportunities but the Bulldogs missed 3-4 gimmes too

Really like Jones though his disposal is hit and miss
King has presence about him
Clarke looks good
Steele is a class above when he gets the ball. Very composed.
Like Long too

Really don’t get the hype with Butler

IMO defence is our main issue so far

Looks like I was spot on with my call about the umpiring whingers coming out 😂

I notice no one has mentioned Lonie’s ‘mark’ he picked up off the ground 🤔

I really like Lonie. I was one of his biggest critics. We threw him a lifeline with a 1 year extension and he proved himself a valuable player up forward. Was on fire then broke his leg. Really hope he gets back to that firm and more...looking good so far

Because it was a mark? Bobbled around his ankles but didn’t touch the ground as far as I could see

Never touched the ground. The ground is green in case you didn’t know

You are f****** kidding.

Ist goal gifted to the dullbogs and King can' t earn a free even when he is being held or shpherded off the ball.

Hill is pure class. Can't wait to see him in a full season.


This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

Clark is killing it.
