Some demoralising misses, needed to get scoreboard pressure on early

Very ordinary quarter!

Plenty of chances.

We cannot take a contested mark around the ground to save ourselves.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

1/4 time
Saints 1.3.9 v Demons 4.0.24

Bad kicking is bad football. Plenty of passengers in that first qtr.


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

You just cannot afford to miss w set shots from 30m in a crunch game. Very poor.

Hopefully Ratten gives them a rocket.

Yeah no sense of threat in our forward line. Disappointing quarter.

I will say this generally about the umpires...they totally ignore the chopping the arms rule on King 10 times a match.


Nee!

Take away the 2 goals to Melbourne from doubtful frees and it is fairly even at quarter time

The frees to Pettracca and Viney show the rubbish we cop. Hind tackled Viney perfectly spins him Viney tries to break it ball up.

Jones gets pancaked no prior no chance to get it off holding the ball

Pettracca first goal well if that’s a free we’ve missed 15

Any chance those who sh!t canned Billings would like to take anything back? Anything? Anything at all?

He was the only one putting his head over the ball through that quarter. It is a disgrace that anyone can believe he's our issue.

The blame at the moment lies at the feet of anyone who chose not to pick Petracca. He's the exact mid that JB & Hill need.

Look a bit lethargic no real zip a bit like last week. I hope they turn it around soon or it will be same result as last week.

Have we laid a tackle inside our 50?

It goes in - it comes straight out!

Indeed. We should be at least 3.1 rather than 1.3. The game would feel totally different.

Very poor. Not much effort and Dees don't look like missing. Need to extract a digit next quarter.
