Our season is over and we play like this. The apologists come out of the woodwork.

Who was worse, for a friend

Yeah, actually he might have been the worst. Not terrible though.

If only we'd had Crouch and Laird fit all year...
Stats don't show this, but his blocking work was pretty important early at centre bounces.
Helped his team mates out a lot.
Should have been playing midfield since round 1. Would be contending the Rising Star if he did.

Funny how you can play much better footy when important players come back from injury.
We need to improve and some of those playing in our 22 are in reality just depth players.

St Kilda finish with Geelong and Carlton.

They’ll manage, don’t you worry
Not much bad at all from that performance
Fun afternoon. Glad Fog tore the Dogs a new one in his milestone game

Aside from Laird and Murph, thought it was a good team performance.
Nicks has another talent ID fail with Curtin and another season pissed away by pushing a rubbish defensive game plan that nobody asked for.

A bigger deal out west.
Solid win, and more importantly, Saints won which made it a free hit. However, it's hard to take too much out of that one seeing the season is dead.
Main highlights were:
Fog getting 5 in game 100.
Thilthorpes multi-goal game streak extends to 5.
Keays and Rash got another multi-goal game.
Worrell held up against one of the form key forwards in the competition
And most importantly: Curtin gets 2 goals. Tough season for the kid and this one gives him a bit to take out it.
Ah, the non-statistical role. Lets cool the jets here, Curtin barely got 7 touches in his time in the midfield (he picked up another 4 once he switched to the forward line) despite considerable minutes. He's nowhere near ready for it, and would be nowhere near the top 10 in the rising star, let alone contending had we started him as a midfielder since round one.
He may be that player in the future, and there is a lot of upside in his profile. He's not that in the present.

Saints would be favourite against Carlton with all their injuries and nothing to play for in the final round when being in the 8 for most of the season.

Big call. Great call on the day! Kudos.
Usually isn’t that hard
Yep can agree with that.
Today was his first full game.
Plays round 1 and builds on those 6 disposals, and 3 clearances, by now he is getting 10 plus disposals.

That's still nowhere near the top in the rising star. Heck, that's still nowhere near being a midfielder that has any business being in an AFL side.
Curtin is all potential, and those two goals are worth their weight in gold here, but this is a kid who needs a big preseason first and foremost.

Yeah who could find fault as we pull the Curtin on the season?
