It has not been a good fortnight against your mob, but we got about 6 senior players back today and put a good win on the board over in Prahan

Yeah, Rovers are kind of too good for D1 really. That said, winning flags is always difficult.
Which one of the clubbies players were you? :P


Oh and gently caress St Kilda. How the flying gently caress are we so god drat bad in front of goal. 90% at training, loving 20% on game day. Where are their loving heads at?

Terry Wallace said something on the radio the other day that seemed to fit: By practising so much on it you make it a real focal point of the club and this just increases the pressure on the players so they just gently caress it up even more. He said that sometimes you just need to de-escalate the whole thing and not specifically practise it but just say"The goal kicking coach is there if you want to work on it, if not; don't worry about it.

Or we just purge the club and start again.

What I want to know is where the gently caress the Saints contested and clearance skills went. It's gone from decent to absolute poo poo.

Can't gently caress it up any more than it already is. Plus practising more clearly has had the opposite effect than intended and the theory seems to match the reality.

I haven't played this year, I was under the impression that they had a full decent side and that I was surplus to requirements so I haven't put my hand up.

But they had a three man bench and a tonne of kids/new guys today, so blargh.

There is no way Richo lasts the year if we keep this poo poo up. I just don't see how any club could justify keeping a coach with these performances.

I just dont get what has happened to this team? Even if we were playing exactly as well as last year we should be competitive to 2/3rds of the teams out there. Currently we are just deplorable in almost every facet of the game. Yes we lost Roo and Montagna but that doesnt explain the complete breakdown across the board.

Yeah, there's no way this is a talent issue. Losing Roo and Monty doesn't suddenly turn us into one of the worst contested/clearance teams in the competition since neither had anything to do with that.

It almost has to be a complete disconnect between the coach and the players because I'm really running out of other possible reasons.

The only good thing to come from this game so far is Ed Phillips performance. Of course, now that I've said this he'll do an ACL or break a leg or something.

Yep they'll get done.

Really sucks as Curnow was probably BOG today with 13 tackles, 2 goals, 7 clearances and 24 touches and we really need him next week. But he goes and does this with a few minutes left in the game. They might rule it as accidental any other week of the season but not after last week.

The Saints have kicked 5 of the last 6 goals and I still think they are the worst team in the league.
