Yeah. Went Nank, Bolton, Brown and the Rioli's.

Maurice didn't get a huge number today but his pressure was immense and hit the scoreboard. Daniel was clean and tried to take the game on. Was our cleanest defender.

Good enough effort. Campbell and Sonsie weren’t that good but the other kids played well. Brown is seriously good.

Not sure why our players refused to lead, and our midfielders refused to lower the eyes. Feel like that would be an easy thing to address at half time.

In the end just ravaged by injuries which really sucks, but we still kept it close. Also annoying that we’re often a few goals up and let teams back in. Exciting performance by MJ, Ross and Brown.

Saints are a vanilla side. They barely beat a much more inexperienced side.

I hate having a go at players, but Kosi is such a liability up forward. No 2nd efforts and is too stationary.

Just glad that pig Higgins will never see a premiership with that side. Their game plan sucks.

Kosi is a hard watch. Not much we can do though, Ryan can come in, he can't be a number 1 forward either though and will be destroyed by the opposition best defender. It's going to be hard to win games with this forward line until Balta comes back. Even then Balta is hardly consistent as a forward. Just got to keep having a crack and staying in games.
 
Short and Graham are meant to be leaders now

Both of them just refuse to look at a target, they just bomb and shank and fumble.. zero composure

It’s simple not good enough

Then you got Tom Brown who is so composed and takes the short option if nothing else on..
yep exactly. the kids played their hearts out. this loss is on the older more experienced blokes such as short mc intosh Graham who continually shat their pants and bombed it long leading to turnovers...all they had to do was spot up someone on a short lead ffs but no....
 
Time to throw caution to the wind and give two rucks a spin. Nank and Naismith could do a real number on the eagles ruck I reckon. We also need some big targets to combat McGovern who is absolutely cooking this year, I’d be super worried if we only had Lefau and Kosi taking him on, having one of Naismith or Nank down there at all times would at least keep him
Honest.

Provided he’s ok, McAuliffe to be given a full game.

Brown to be given kick in duties, perhaps look at playing Short off a wing and drop one of KMac/Pickett.

Baker in for Graham, who can be sub.

Agree. Saints are boring. Average game but good effort by our team. Unfortunately we have too many injuries and Kosi isn't doing much to help the forward line.
 
The smart posters on here knew that the tractor to V8 ratio would be out of sync once the genetically modified potato came straight back into the team. The serious change that needed to be made was Kmac dropped after last week. He and Pickett at 3/4 time had 25 disposals with 10 clangers. JGTI is VFL standard, Kosi is Bairnsdale standard , Pickett is a sub for hard edge when needed at the end, KMac2 should start on the park, Naismith backup for Nakkers as we lost ascendancy in the guts when he tired, Kmac is finished and Short is a female dog.
Nobody should be bagging any of our kids as they all had a crack including Sonsie and Campbell and they all have upside compared to those list cloggers mentioned.
