Only early but the intensity from last week looks to be missing, hopefully they’ll flick the switch soon

We look in holiday mode far too often on interstate trips.

I just can't get my head around it. Steele makes that great tackle at half forward and there is a 25m diameter circle of open space in the center of the fwd 50 and NO ONE IS BLOODY LEADING INTO IT.

Maddening.

And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

Forward coach anyone????
Count how many bombs forward
FFS Jack Riewoldt just said “I’d like to see some more movements inside Saints fwd 50”
Who the deck is responsible for this bomb to top of square sh!t????

If we keep playing so slow from defence we won’t score

Dumb forward entries. Lot of skill errors. Lucky to be so close to be honest.

It’s amazing how harder footy is when the opposition doesn’t just let you run around doing what you like!

Ball movement too slow!!!

Not a forward issue, it’s a backline not providing run, midfielders not carrying the footy

It’s just uncontested marks, going nowhere

Boring, predictable... bombing it to the lesser twin who doesn’t look like being in position to take a mark. The other forwards haven’t made a lead either. FFS, is Richo back?.

Dougal Howard had the perfect opportunity to handball to Hill, held onto the ball and chipped sideways!!!

Bad Saints today. We either seem to play crap or very good with no in between.


So many fumbles.

Refusing to take first free option and up forward it is just roost at King again who has often had two on him.

Playing like we thought we just had to turn up to win.

Forward line cannot possibly function with 18 suns players in D50

Having said that King has been weak as piss
