Listen in from around minute 9.20.
Very good analysis of Saints I reckon. Interesting to note a couple of unbiased outsiders couldn't work out our brand. Richo and co and players need to amend this for 2018.

Not sure what that stat was about regarding our players 25 and under.

Pretty much summed up where our midfield is at- "good players but they don't kill you..accumulators etc...". Also mentioned inconsistency.

Nothing new about identifying our brand of football- obviously most people(including the players) can't figure out what style we are playing or how we are going about it, and I am not sure how Richo is going to have some dramatic turn around in his skillsets as coach for next season.

I didn't listen to it - but would think it not much of a big deal that a couple of unbiased people chirped in that they didn't get what our brand is - we have been in the wilderness since 2012 - not many people outside of saints supporters take too much notice of us - I can't imagine these people could identify very well with the 'brand' of the teams below us on the ladder either - apart from probably Hawthorne who are still exuding the hangover of a period of sustained success

Here hopes Richo tunes the game plan around. Maybe some new ideas and new blood is needed to amend this and help him out.

Liked the comment about the midfielders - we have a bunch of good players in there. All the more reason we need an A grade gun......please be J. Kelly. Apparently he is coming back to Vic this year.

He was back tonight and probably staying with the rellies in Moorabbin. :wink: .
