Think that you will find it was against King - the reason the Suns player was sitting on his butt.

Well, you would have to say the same about the Suns then wouldn't you.

We look better when we went inside and forwards got on the move - -100% better
King leading into space perfect forget bombing
Still like Butler and Higgins to be at fall footy more and out some inside 50 pressure on at times they have run it out far too quickly

A couple of observations from the ground.

Byrnes running his guts out on the River wing, when he starts hitting the right spots more consistently he will become a good player.

Wilke judges the ball in flight as well as anyone.
Better intercept player than lock down.

Joyce is worth persisting with.
Very athletic, slightly short for kpp.

Coffield needs a bit more aggression.
King needs to move.

Half Suns half Saints scarves worn by the King women is a nice touch.

Can’t believe we are still in this contest.

Webster, Membrey & Butler all need to lift, all well below their best.

Our mids need to be selfless and block for each other, take their turn because Ryder will put it down their throat.

Wood & Battle & Membrey need to lead wide & up the middle, separate their defenders. King will be so much better.

Mason Williams would be a better bet at the moment.

Umps need to pull Collins into line or there will be tears.

Did Higgins seriously miss 20m out straight in front?! I walked away for a sec when he got the free...

Higgins is improving each week, shame he’s missed a couple but has been really good otherwise

King has got mental strength issues

You don’t miss a goal 25m out directly in front

Didn’t Higgins do the same 2 minutes earlier?

King does it regularly

Higgins is normally accurate
