Game Day vs St Kilda

Geez we have been cursed by the injury gods. Saints are very very average, we have anywhere near our best side and we win by 6 plus goals.

Why are we kicking the ball so poorly today?

Shai/Rioli need to have huge last qtrs for us to have a chance. Dusty has had plenty but nothing dangerous really.

The kids are struggling a bit and leaders like Short/Kmac/Pickett have all been poor.
 
Not getting enough from the small fellas, Mansell, Junior, Campbell, Sonsie and Lefau come on three disposals
 
Don’t mind losing to a team that is better than us - can’t stand it when the loss is self inflicted. Still, we are in this. Just need some to stand up and FFS kick properl.

Should've been at least a couple points down not 8 thanks to 3 pathetic kicks.

You hold onto the footy with a minute to play not panic kick it straight back to the opposition.

Posses the ball the opposition cant score if you have it.

Then trake the shot like Basketball teams do with their shot clock they run time off them take the shot.

Especially in the last minute of a quarter.

Dumb footy going to cost the game just as much as a lack of personnel.

Beaten in the middle in that quarter and then lost composure with the ball. Need to get those shorter kicks going again that we had in the 1st half and last week so we can control the game. Had no control whatsoever that quarter.

BTW anyone that suggests we should trade Bolton (cough cough Carter) should burn their memberships immediately.
 
Killed in centre clearance, kill in uncontested possession (work rate & spread) and only kept in it by solo efforts.

So many passengers today. Very disappointing. Have to try something different up forward next week - play two proper rucks and rest one forward.
