Great win, but...

Post: # 915361Post Saintersss »

Why couldn't we play like that the whole match? We showed that we are cable of playing good footy, yet we continue to just flood and defend the whole match.

Why didn't we play like that the whole game? because the victory is so much sweeter when we snap it right out of their hands...

After the whining last year I loved tonight...

Who would you bring in?

The only one that should come in is Gram, if he's fit.

But he's not a good swap for Zac.

Personally I don't think he'll get dropped, it'll be a bit like the Australian cricket team we won so why change.

The worst thing to come out of that win is that nobody will be talking about St Kilda's resilience and their win against the odds. Before the game and all during it nobody really gave us a hope; they were given no chance by anyone and they still managed to win it. But, all anyone wants to focus on is how bad the game was. It is just like sirengate all over again. Freo should not have been in the position to let us steal a draw but all anyone remembers about it was that we tried to rob them.

Sometimes I think opposition fans are just looking for an excuse to hate us.

Oh well we won, who cares?!!  Lol

Four points and no injuries = a pretty good night :D

The reason we won is because our coach has changed the game plan.

It is really a combo of the first years as coach which was heavily defensive.

Wear them down for the first half, then re-structure.

Much better now though. :lol:

Ross Lyon put together a game plan that gave us the best chance to win.

15 entries to 6 in the 3rd quarter when I thought we were quite good.

I thought we were solid all night, a bit sloppy with our skills but a nice win all the same.

Boy he restructures and look what happens. *points to thread where he criticised Lyon for not restructuring last week and got flamed for it*

I'm guessing that isn't our way.
