We've blown a few chances, but Geelong are really struggling and all their goals have come gainst the run of play. So we'd be favoured from here, but of course we are the Saints and are therefore good at blowing our opportunities.

IF Geelong fix up clearances and contested possessions we might struggle.

Yes, but as is quite often the case with him, his possessions haven't been all that damaging. Most overrated player in the game IMO.

It will be hard for them to fix the clearances I reckon. Contested possessions perhaps.

I’d like to see Mason Wood step up in the second half. Decent first half with 10 touches and I think he’s doing a run with role…
We’ve really missed his more dynamic offensive capabilities. I like it when he plays a little more aggressively.

Brad Crouch is the other that has a huge scope for improvement… 11 touches but not a major degree of influence

Poor goal kicking gunna cost us.

Who has been on him? Coops pre-injury? I do agree with the point that he’s not as damaging as he could be. 14 touches from that Miers punk is a way bigger concern

That’s crazy, it’s been our season in that department.

There are plenty of here who are very concerned with the quality of umpiring, I’ll be interested to see how many threads they start.

Also, blowing too many opportunities now 👎
I think Otiman is right. The umps consciously try to even things up. I'm dreading what's coming in the 2nd half

I'll make a prediction

I reckon you'll agree with everyone in the last quarter

I reckon we'll be reamed and bent over by your little maggot mates and for the first time ever, you'll acknowledge that they will cost us this match

Nope. Intercept marking in defence is overrated IMO and he's the king of the intercept mark. It's just an opinion.

Must admit didn’t think we would win this but what I’ve seen so far we are a bloody good side
And to those who have been selling the team and coach short all year I’m sorry but you have no idea

Win lose or draw we have improved and will get better

To the detractors…..go follow someone else..especially vortex
