Match Review:
This was the assessment at half time. Could be copied and pasted for full time as well:
Not sure why Wilkie is being wasted on Greene(?) Jimmy the Cat was always the man for the job. And as a (huge) bonus that would also free up Wilkie to take intercept marks.
The Sharmanator is showing what he can and can't do. If only he had a fiercer attack on the footy!
Joe King and The Sharmanator can't tackle. Missy and Gresh not great either. Pou Power unsighted in the first half. IMHO, this is where we're losing the game. They're just clearing it our of their defence too easily, and too quickly. This is making it very very difficult for our defence.
And it would bloody well help if Joe King, The Sharmanator and The Hammer stopped flying against each other. Spread you blokes! Bloody spread!
Clark (no f*****g 'e', ffs
) is clearly not fit. (Or, bloody lazy.) Saw him on more than one occasion not running to pressure their ball carrier. He's an on-baller, yet has played only 66% of game time. (Only Pou Power @ 64% has played less time... of any of our players.) IMHO, that's pretty damning.Three quarter time:
They're still getting it out of defence way too bloody easily!
This is what we were worried about before the game. And so far, it's what's killing us.
Too many of our forwards are piss weak tacklers.
Thank gawd for our defence! We should be dead n' buried, yet, we're still in it.
Fix the forward line, and we're a red hot chance... against anyone!
Post match rants:
Frustrating, but looking at the big picture... am happy.
We could easily have been blown away... several times. (Would have lost that game last year by 12+ goals under cho ach Alfred E Clueless.)
But not this year... the blokes never gave up.
We had two more inside 50s.
And for the entire year, only two teams scored 100 points against us.
The team is young, not aging, and with huge upside.
We're soooooooo soooooooo close.
Sharman needs a run at. Otherwise he can't outmuscle an opponent. Ball on ground - he's next to useless. Can't tackle, and is very slow. His man did more damage than he did.
He simply must improve his attack on the footy, or he won't make it!
Our pathetic forward 'pressure' was the number one thing that cost us. And Sharman 'lead the way' in that department.
Of the blokes who made up our forward line for most of the day, only The Butler is a tackling threat.
Sharman - hopeless.
Joe King - hopeless.
Missy - next to hopeless.
Gresh - poor. (But now irrelevant, as he seems most unlikely to still be around.)
And again, serious questions have to be asked about Clark's tank. Especially as his serious injuries have been facial, so shouldn't have affected his ability go for a run... and get bloody fit(!)
We need two young gun mids of the calibre of the likes of Gulden, Tom Greene, Rozee, Buttersssssssssss, Rankine, Rachelle, Horne-Francis.
We have plenty of potential steak knives to choose from to package up with our first round daft pick... Gresh, Clark, Doogie, Members, Coff, Jones, Seb, Billings, Bybes, Bytel, Paton.
Everyone's talking about hitting the daft. But this year's daft is looking pretty thin. Package players and daft picks, and bring in quality, known quality.
End of season 'list management' decisions at the Saynta(s) will be very very very interesting...

Sharman's ground work won't matter if we can fix the the spread and run issues.
He would become a big weapon.
Smart player and gets his hands to the ball. Its ok for forward to be just contested mark footballer. You just need the right midfield.
Needs Butler to stay within 10 metres at all times around half forward and no further up field ever.
That would change things on the rebound spread. Someone to kick to and a quick crumber, pressure tackler, who can kick a goal.
King needs to stay out of Caminiti's way a bit too.
And so much air in the ball coming in to deep fifty with 3 bigs blokes and no one on the ground.
We also need to stop running past opponents just to get back and fill space defensively.
They killed us in the 50 - 60 metres defensive zone and we had gaps everywhere.
Man the f*** up, hit some bodies and just grind for a while.
They are quick and Kelly is a freak.
Either side would have won with him playing for them today.
We are hard to beat.
But we haven't even started attacking yet.
We are coming.
Still Post of the friggin' Year!!!

The Flux Mailbag:
After this post the mailbag has been running hot with questions from fellow Saintsationalists wanting to know the secret to winning the heart of a hot girl.
The answer is that it's not that difficult if you know what you're doing, like Mason obviously does. And Mason learned everything he knows from Ferretvilles' favourite son.loris wrote: ↑Mon 04 Sep 2023 2:51pmSurprise, surprise my heart throb Mason Wood taps into analytics. Aaah ‘the doc’ is becoming more desirable, the more I read/hear about him. What more could a woman want? He’s intelligent, is drop dead gorgeous looking, has magnificent physique.
The invitation is still there for Mason Wood to park his shoes (even his footy boots) under my bed anytime- I could even feign interest in discussing the analytics of scoring a point and the overall impact it has on Aussie Rules.

HarryM continues Italian affair(s). Onya Harry!
Young Loris continues her to build her winning sample size as once again Chess Grand Master Vortemortex PhD (piled higher and deeper) brings a knife to a gun fight. Looks like the sample size is saying that Vortemortex (he whose name Firey dares not speak) does not have the game to stand up in the last quarter of a chess grand final.
Onya Loris!
Dragstar is still keeping the family entertained in between Ro$$y and his saynta(s) winning games of footy.
Onya Dragstar!
