Id like to say this game is a wake up call.
But it wont be.
This midfield has been beaten more often than not in the last 5 yearz.

Agree and sadly, I am even nastier than you, I might just throw a cup or two of lawn mower fuel on the fire from my billy can.
Negative
Still can't get over that 44 minutes of sh*t.
Honest question.
Does anyone actually think we were playing well during that first 86 minutes?
We were in front due to dumb luck.
That's the worst I have seen us since the Woosha years. Outnumbered everywhere, can't win a ground ball or hit a target.
Woeful stuff.
Another reason to Dislike Saint Kilda. The media cream their pants about the saints.Positive: It's over
Negative: Panel of victorian **** heads openly cheering for the saints.
The one that we played 4 quarters is the early Collingwood game at home in 19.Can anyone enlighten me as to the last game we played four quarters? Actual foot on the throat stuff. Congrats to the Saints for having some sack, we had witches hats out there for the last 40 mins. Embarrassing.

Versus Richmond late last year away before the rain settled in would be another. Or was that late 19.
The freo game in 19 when we flogged them and had the Harry hi pants photos.
I don't believe there are many more.
Super efficient forward line and Saints missing easy chances certainly helped. They definitely played into our hands early. When they didn't we looked around for Shuey, Yeo and Hurn and they weren't there and we folded. That's a big concern. The lack of leadership on the field was alarming.Honest question- does anyone actually think we were playing well during that first 86 minutes?

Woeful stuff. Let's hope it's a one week thing.
Yep, straight kick wallpapered cracks, and 3 early goals where we jumped the opposition.Super efficient forward line and Saints missing easy chances certainly helped.

To say we rely on Shuey and Yeo is an understatement. Particularly when the going gets tough.Yep, straight kick wallpapered cracks, and 3 early goals where we jumped the opposition.
2 goals and 19 behinds kicked in that derby you mentioned. Half of them were rushed behinds too. The other half of those behinds were sprayed.The one that we played 4 quarters is the early Collingwood game at home in 19.

Good, cattle-wise we should be in a stronger position, injuries and dumb luck allowing...Another reason to Dislike Saint Kilda. The media cream their pants about the saints.
Fortunately your mob has them late in the season again, this time in Perth.

Unfortunately it's the same story. We're a fantastic team when it's going our way. Not enough campaigner when it's not going our way. We did really well in the Bulldogs game in this respect, but one swallow doesn't make a summer.Let me save you the trouble:
Before half time - mids were allowed to roam freely and rack up uncontested possessions. We looked a million bucks.
After half time - St Kilda adopted a man-on-man strategy and forced our mids to play accountable football. We kicked 1 point to full time, they kicked 50 points.
Thats it. No masterstroke of coaching. No one sustained a game-ending injury (beyond Hurn). We didnt run out of puff and the Saints didnt suddenly turn into worldbeaters. We were forced into playing a contested form of footy, and that went about as well as we have come to expect.
It's an interesting statement. There's lies damn lies and Statistics but I reckon you could argue your statement is correct and our Forward's and Backs have been the Backbone of any success. The exception being a real lift through the midfield when Mitchell was given full coach license.Id like to say this game is a wake up call.

Play half a game last week - "You gaiz are so harsh, we got the win didn't we, what's wrong with the team taking the foot off"
Play half a game this week - "Fold the club, worst loss i've ever seen, diabolical, Bush did 9/11"
