We are a very good team when chasing, still in this but need a fair bit of improvement.

SAINTS cant handle heat !

This is the most lethargic we have looked all year! Too many players who cant keep the feet in the jewy slippery conditions. Too many players getting lead to the ball by their opponents.

Lazy football, you would think they would have worked the BRISBANE weather out by now.

One wonders if more than just BJ has got the flu....

Assumed when I saw the ins for this game, that RL was prepared to sacrifice the game for match fitness and structure readjustment...this looks like the case. Although, there's not a lot of effort out there. Mind you, a couple gimme goals to the Lions removed and we'd only be a kick out of it.
WTF? Seen the ladder up top lately?. I dont think so !!!

You don't think what? What are you talking about?

I dont think he is just going to go out and scrafice a game for the sake of anything. Ridiculous.

One more thing, being smashed in the tackles

saintDal · Post: # 954762Post **saintDal** » Sat 10 Jul 2010 9:35pm

Our second quarters have been our worst this year so hopefully we can turn it around in the second half.

Finna · Post: # 954763Post **Finna** » Sat 10 Jul 2010 9:35pm

Settle down folks.
We have had a poor first half and we're wihin 16 points.

We are still totally in this game.

He is. Have you considered the team structure, the ins, the outs? Wake up mate.

Goddard out, recovering Gram in...we've probably lost 10 tackles there. Not a lot of pressure around the stoppages from us either.

Mate, its a ridiculous suggestion. Were not 3 games clear on top! ffs.

I agree...though we would want to start finding some avenues to goal...and quickly.

Come on saints. You can do this. Need more from our midfielders too.

We are making this mob look good...even Richmond beat them up here a couple of weeks ago.

starsign · Post: # 954768Post **starsign** » Sat 10 Jul 2010 9:37pm

OK half time
settle down , re group
we are better than this
go back to the things we do well and concentrate on them
think clearly and do the team things , do n't worry too much about Roo unless he is the main goto and put the score on the board through whoever is in the best position to nail it
Bi t of fighting spirit as its one to win now the Pies got up

You'd put Gram and Roo in against Collingwood then? Or wait 'til the week before the finals perhaps? Geez, I'm hardly an AFL coach, but I thought I'm stating the obvious here.

We dont have a forward line..we rely on stopping other sides scoring and when that doesnt happen we seem incapable of putting any scoreboard pressure on. We are the lowest scoring team in the top 4 by a long long way and tonight is a great example why.

When was the last time we took a contested mark inside 50? Weeks and weeks Id suggest. We went inisde 50 13 times that quarter and couldnt score a goal. Took one mark inside 50, and that was Roo on the boundary line

I said last week we are the reverse flat track bullies. Play great footy against the top sides but cant string 4 quarters togther agasint lesser opposition

Cant blame umpires or BJ/Kosi/whoever being out. We need to find our offensive game and we need to find it quick IMO

well said. Couldn't have said it better myself.

WinnersOnly · Sat 10 Jul 2010 9:38pm

Half our team have had more hand balls than kicks = that tells me that too many of the players aren't running hard enough to break the lines.

saintsRrising · Sat 10 Jul 2010 9:38pm

I have faith...

But yes we really have had trouble this year going into games where the team probably win easilly.

In "big" games this year we have been excellent.

Yes having two underdone players hursts..but our workrate id down. Look at tackles...and our ball entry into the forward line poor.

However sainst are good in the second half.

Look for more application in the third quarter.

Gwilt forward. Interesting.

Jimmy Gwilt kicking for goal like a true forward. Great execution!
