Nothing short of Putrid today

Reason for the win

North worse - 4 direct turnovers in their d50

StK offence is dysfunctional - no structure

Coupled with the dysfunctional defensive efforts in the first three quarters.

Larke is killing Howard.

When you were growing up, if you were told by your dad or your teachers that you were no good and would never amount to anything, did you; A) Go out of your way to prove him/them wrong, or B) Accept that he/they are right and just give up. I suspect that the saints players, or at least some of them...

Yep looked a lot better.

Needs to be a bit greedier in front of goal tho!

Stupid Howard tried to kill Steele with a dinky little hospital pass that hung up in the air.

Howard lazy, lumbering oaf. Another easy mark and goal to Petracca. He’s an unaccountable finger pointer. He’s not a leaders ring piece. Great effort by the rest of the team!!!

Jeez Howard sheets me. He won’t hit the ball hard, as a consequence an easy mark and goal to Petracca.

If Howard had a brain, it’d be lonely.

I see us being the team that gives WCE a win after a record thrashing. It would be all over social media as 'that's sooooo St Kilda' That’s my fear also, Wellard. If we don’t bring that ‘mongrel’ hard attacking attitude we could get done. The Eagles have nothing to lose. If we give them a sniff…😢

I’d prefer King playing further up the ground to be honest. Would force him to move around a bit more for a start. Also - given that he will drag a few defenders with him - ought to leave plenty of space out the back for opportunists and a lead-into-space forward. Plus he’s a better kick from farth...

Perhaps Howard could be managed. It looks like he’s running in quicksand.

Yeah. By not kicking it predictably to him. There is more than one avenue to goal. Kick the ball to strong leads and not the one static player.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Our senior coach does not value goals as much as he values 'defensive' effort. The Freo fans know it. The media and the analysts know it and the stats don't lie Our goals are incidental. We are putrid when it comes to inside 50 entries and conversion from ...

F50 entries should be RTBs only discussion item with coaches this week. Delivery into space 35 out rather than kick long and pray. King playing for Lions last night would have kicked 6. I think our ruck and mids will be a bigger discussion. We cannot continue starting all our F50 entries from the b...

Too true. Howard is allowed to guard space, slag off his team-mates, spit the chewy, make stupid decisions, be unaccountable and soft as buttermilk.

It’s a huge concern. The way we’re playing, we could play them back into form and consign ourselves to the doldrums.

Wrestling when out of his depth is a waste of effort.

Just like the lack of pride game.

Play some of the youngsters. Losing with duds like Howard who rips into his team-mates, gives away 50 metres and then lazily turns the ball over in the last thirty seconds which allows Cameron to goal is disheartening.

Howard is a dud.

Typically weak effort by Howard.

Swing some changes. Caminitti and Howard would be a start. Swing King into the ruck.

He was shocking!!!

He is a lazy waste of space.

Fullback is a huge concern.
