Too many passengers in this first quarter so far.

Hate watching us play dinky football, attempting cute passes.

Look at Brisbane - taking the play on and kicking to contests backing their guys

Dougal was held out

Boy Ross’ disposal is just awful

2 free possessions off half back = 2 direct turnovers

Stuffed up two absolute gimmies

Delivery into forward 50 looks as poor as previous weeks

Defence looks flustered and can’t move the ball out

Howard will get a week off

Looking ominous...

We need to get something going. Looking flat. Got the Geelong game written all over it thus far.

1/4 time
Saints 1.0.6 v Lions 2.5.17
Not a winner on the ground. All lines are playing terribly.

struggling to get the ball out of our fifty. missing clark. would've been an ideal role for roberton so curious as to his training form? even savage would've been a smart in.

Nick Foot (umpire 2) is killing us as usual.

Three very doubtful and influential frees against us all resulting in shots on goal and did now award 50 metres to Butler. Nothing to us.

We just need to clean up our disposals out of defence. Stop panicking and look to run it out. No more dump kicks.

Forget the umpiring, the ball use / game awareness by Membrey & Sinclair have cost us badly. Add panicked kicks from defence & we are lucky not to be 6 goals down.

Clark may only be young but he's the one who can see a path from defence. The others just hope for a path.

Useless bl00dy football - playing the way others play - not to our strength.

Welcome back Saints of old.

King too quick to give off the ball.
Membrey too quick to save certain goals and pass to someone 10m away with their back to him.

Steele is always a winner, if not a break even.

Should’ve had 2 more, far too cute in front of goal. Ross is a turnover merchant and generally our disposal has been poor. Luck of the bounce (and umpires) has not gone our way

Not a great 1st quarter by many.. but our full forward and full back lines are delivering absolute stinkers...

Max King and Dougal both playing like brain drained amateurs... those around them average also... need a lift!

Can't see Howard getting anything, looked to me like accidental contact from turning the body. And no injury outcome. Should be fine.

Marshall needs to get involved. We need to find a winner out there somewhere.
