One side well drilled, great structures, well coached vs other side with a coach probably with 6 games before retirement.

Not at the injury, at the fact he was having a shocker.

In the footage the showed it didn’t even look like he got touched in the head?

Hopefully not another McCartin situation on our hands.

Battle is s*** today.

14 shots to 8. We're lucky they are kicking badly 6.8. Hopefully our famed second half fitness will come to the fore.

The coverage didn't say what happened to Higgins.

I hope Steele's injury isn't too bad. I thought he was the man of steele.

Need a big second half because the first was ordinary . Unless we change our output we can't win just not up to it ATM lets hope they dig deep & find something 😐

if Long is playing as defensive forward he should be dragged. No accountability, Duncan runs off him too easily.

I get the feeling our game styles are a week apart. Why we are guarding space allowing Geelong the 45? Especially the corridor???

they're talking about the brain ops he had while at richmond so potentially very serious - i don't remember knowing about that.

Have we ever heard of having a forward line.
We are so easy to defend against because our forwards are never there for our players to kick to as they stream from the half back line.
I don't know what the game plan is but it clearly does not work against any reasonable team.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Match threads really bring out the crap supporters

Well done saints well fought out first half

We are a better side with Zac
Jones in it. Geelong are spreading well and using the ball better us at the moment
How good is Sinclair.

Geelong aren't even that good.
Our s*** disposal and poor choices are making them look like a top 2 team

It's obvious that the dislocated his shoulder, so that means we are down to 21.

We can turn it around if we’re good enough, and if our coaches start earning their wage.
Only if we stop this stop/start s*** we tried against Melbourne last week, we need to get it and go ffs

Jones and Gresham trying to be heroes only to be turnover merchant, time for Connolly, Owens and Highmore to be given a run. Did our best ball user in NWM really need a rest for such an important game

We’re not making the 8 if this form continues.

We couldn’t even beat Colonwood FFS.
