The problem is that good teams bring pressure every week. But, what separates them is that on top of that, they have method to their madness and a solid game plan. We don't bring pressure every week, which is an issue on its own. But we also don't appear to have a solid game plan. Meaning, once the ...

The good thing is that Petracca is only mediocre at this stage anyway.

GWS doing the 'bomb it in long' thing too. And guess what? Even with their freak talent - it still doesn't work.

27 Inside 50s for 24 points.

Seriously? It's simple to answer.


We're nowhere near being contenders.

Continually get up for games like tonight. Stating the obvious we're not a great team yet. But rather than follow the majority on here it's not purely talent. So much of it is between the ears. Anyone ( and there might be someone on this forum) who was in the rooms or even at training this week wou...

Back to old habits it seems!

Let's be fair.

We're an average team and as hard as we're trying - they're kicking at 80% FFS!!

Ah, JB#2.

Crap. Need a new nick for him. Anyone?!

Cringer.

This is a good move Agree. We've got to be careful not to forget that we're still really in a genuine development phase. With Savage back in the team and playing as well as he did last week - the temptation must be there to resort to older, mature player players for a short term fix. Especially giv...

Re star power our early season form , franked by recent form has been about creating pressure and creating scoring opportunities .

I'm precisely where I was at the start of the season funnily enough. We lack star power. And that will hurt. Ross has been a nice surprise this year, but none of the others have stepped up into that star space. Carlisle is, ditto Steven and Billings shows glimpses. But we need more than that. I thou...

Now that Luke Hodge has announced his retirement, we should grab him - for any job! Get him mentoring the youngsters, building leadership, midfield coach - anything. He is class act and would be an amazing off field addition... Class act? If he wasn't a freakishly good footballer and leader, with h...

I still don't know what to think of Richardson as a coach. The overriding factor in Saturday's win was the pressure and intensity. Once that was at the sustained level it was at, Richmond crumbled and we pretty much did whatever we wanted to. It became a training drill. I don't think Richardson did ...

God I love reading this forum! If this was Rance hitting Rooey it would be "that filthy dog should get 8 weeks". Because its a Saints player it was an accident and he should be let off :lol: Most objective posters on this site predicted 3-4 on Saturday night with hope of 2. Get real guys,...

I think Saints fans really overrate him.

His decision making is perplexing at times.

Agree.

I think Leo.J is correct. If it's deemed 'intentional', because the impact was high (assuming it's deemed high) and itwas to the head - he goes straight to the tribunal. If it's deemed 'careless' (which I think it is), high impact to the head - then it's 3 down to 2 with a plea. Not sure how you can...

I cant think what got into him as I've not seen him do anything like that before. Very poor and he has let the team and the supporters down just when we are getting on a good run. Disagree. Outraegous decision. Careless - maybe? Probably. But nothing more than that. He'd committed to the contest an...
