St Kilda are just so poor. They play a zone off non contact style of football. This means our midfielders get some space and we always beat teams like this. The pressure from last week's opposition to this week was completely different. This type of win means nothing.
Saints just needed turn up...
We will never compete with these sides in a final. There is not too much panic in either teams defence. It's the complete opposite when the ball hits the ground in our defence.
I'm really happy with the talls in defence this year. We are better balanced. However there are a couple of blokes down there that s**t the bed every time they are challenged in a big game. We all know who they are and we just have to make change. Enough is enough. I'm genuinely feeling fatigued...
Off topic I know but number 15 - Umpire Matt Nicholls destroyed us again last night. He has a hell of a record of free against us. If you go back over the games he has umpired us, it's pretty disturbing.
I don't understand why Williams is a fringe player. He is tough, a good kick, wins contested ball and is great decision maker in heavy traffic. He never panics.
There is something the coaches obviously don't like.
- Jones ..... enough is enough. Has to go and it's not just this week he has cost us goals.
- Dixon. We all knew he would miss that. Been happening for years and years and years....
- Butters was great again. Someone wrote earlier in the thread that Zac was poor. Absolute rubbish. When he was...
Burton and Jones really struggle when the heat is on. We have seen.it over and over the last couple of years.
Defence has been great.
Forward line has been atrocious. There is no way those forwards are giving 100 percent.
I was looking forward to the season starting but this game has a lot of what I hate about the way the game is played. I blame both coaches for this rubbish.
We have been conceding the ruck for many years. Soldo and Sweet will give the midfield a completely different look. Got what we need now. The missing pieces hey...
I just had a look back at our games this season, Interestingly, Umpire Brendan Hosking had us for one other game this season against St Kilda at Marvel and we lost the free kicks that game 28-14. I don't have the individual umpire stats on frees that game but this guy is suspicious imo.
My concern is that Geelong are actually not very good. Had them on toast really and Geelong then kick the last 4 of the game.
Was a pretty standard script. With all the injuries, there was no real expectations of a win which is why we went ok, then we found ourselves in front, so then of...
