The fact we had 4 extras behind the ball, tells us something.....you dont have to a genius to know that we attepted to stop them scoring.....and put less emphasis on scoring.....

People that don't think it is a tactic implied by Ross to shut games down need to get their heads out of the sand. Do you really think the players would consistently play against team rules by holding the ball up and kicking backwards. Not in todays game. Ross is a sound tactician and doubt that pl...

Saints kicked 10 goals in the first half, 2 in the second (none in the last). A wins a win but geez we consistently make it difficult. I'd like to know who made the decision to effectively start running down the clock half way through the final quarter...very, very risky proposition. Left North in ...

Lynch went out of the game after half time. Gram despite turning it over and shirking the odd contest did a good defensive job on Thomas.

We have been the better side for all but about 15- 20 minutes of the 90 gone so far, but....

Same old. Get a lead and instead of playing the same way that got us the lead we go ultra defensive and win/lose in a close one.

The Roos just seem to play for frees every time they're near the ball. Frustrating the hell out of me.

McEvoy taking some big marks.

Get it in Raph's hands he's got plenty of run in him

6 minutes to go get the cue out of the rack!

We need to run the bloody ball.

Saints look tired. The bye?

Hopefully we have enough to keep a lead.

Roos goal.

Agreed. Need top play with some confidence, that's what was working for us in the first half.

Depends if they have a poor last quarter. If I had to guess players that play poorly will be discussed on a Saints forum.

Dan Warna wrote:confidence? something else? was a gun until very recently.

A gun near 2 years ago. Long time in footy.

And he turns it over and costs us a goal. Wow.

Interchange infringement

Gram shirking another contest on the forward flank. Not good Grammy get your sh*t together.

Steven giving the inform Swallow an absolute bath

What are everyone's thoughts on joey's game so far? IMO I think he has been a bit out of sorts. Not sure what is happening. Not his usual self. :? They've got him playing in the inside more with Lenny out. He's still getting the pill just not out in space as much. Peake is doing that role quite nic...

Forward line instantly becomes 100% more potent as soon as Gamble is dragged and replaced by Lynch. Make that a permanent change, thanks Ross. Steven playing like it's a grand final, Peake playing really good footy, Riewoldt back to what he does best and and McEvoy has become our best ruckman since...

Not sure if serious
