Come from behind football

[dcstkfc]

Surely a worrying trend.

Look at all the occasions under Lyon where we've mucked around with it in the first half, got in a hole, and only make a game of it when we start playing some attacking footy.

2007: Round 8 v Hawthorn, Round 9 v Fremantle, Round 11 v North Melbourne, Round 19 v Sydney, Round 22 v Richmond

2008: NAB Cup Grand Final v Adelaide, Round 6 v Port Adelaide, Round 9 v Brisbane Lions, Round 11 v Western Bulldogs, Round 12 v Sydney, Round 14 v North Melbourne, Round 18 v Port Adelaide, Round 19 v Collingwood

and tonight.

Surely we need to play more attacking footy.

Not just under Lyon....

Unfortuntaely one of the saints' Hallmarks for a number of years is that we playa lot of hot and cold football.

Most teams do not play 100 minutes of hot football...but our % of cold is oten too high.

It appears that we play that way under SOS now too

IN 2008 we won 5 times after trailing at 1/2 time..more than any other team

However...we also won only 7 out of 25 second quarters, far less than any other Top 8 side

And again last night. Perhaps the club could employ you as our "STATISTICAL STRATEGIST"

only, don't expect the same $200,000pa you're on now !!

Nab Cup games are only a chance to give younger players a bit of game time, as well as guys like Goose- its better than intra-club games but its just practice...dont read too much into it. Would have been nice to repeat 2008 but if you live on ifs buts and maybes....
