It’s a thing called trauma. People don’t want to watch that stuff.

I know I do but Fox don’t want complaints

Luckily the Giants are missing some of their shots on goal, 3-4-22 to 0-1-1


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

Why is the StK forward line so crowded

And the GWS forward line so open

GWS clearly have no respect for us, and for good reason.

Around the body kick from 20 metres says no one knows what they are doing at the club.

wtf would Caminiti go around the corner from there

I’ll tell you why

Doesn’t trust his kicking at goal

We absolutely suck at set shots. They need to find someone who can teach them how to kick for goal instead of a slight angle we try and kick it around the corner.

The question isn't why is Caminiti snapping from there. The question is why is he and other players ALLOWED to snap from there? It's ridiculous.

If this doesn’t change

It will get fkn ugly

6 months on from the final - we are worse

No ball movement

No defensive pressure

No composure

King is a weak minded soft c**k

Appalling miss by Caminiti. That kind of stuff, when you're struggling to stay in the game, is demoralising

We had the same number of inside 50s as GWS. What a comparison that is. No chance of finals until we clean up the kick going inside 50, and take the chances we have when the ball is inside 50. Same problem almost every week

Just an 8-12 team going through the motions.

Kicking on goal is just diabolical. Someone in the coaching team must be held accountable.
