This performance is straight up a player issue, can’t blame the coach for this conversation problem.

hard to tell if it's us, but gws just aren't switched on.
lonie definitely a better option than weller. gives us much more energy.
We're in really good nick, aside from finishing our work.

Hickey is having his best game in years, as is Dunstan. If Billings and Lonie could finish, they will be deadly. Steele doing a great job against Ward and DMac a great job on Greene.

Richo has Coached well.

We should win this game if we keep it up, providing we start finishing.

Frustrating we should be a few goals ahead.

learnt 2 things so far.... Acres and Geary kick the same and Lonie gets bundled unfairly with Weller.

apart from that the boys are having a crack despite their pitiful skills.
Go Saints.

oh and thank %$^$# for the Umpire.
8cres has been out for 12 weeks. What's Geary's excuse?

You don't lose your skills. They should be improving once you become a professional fulltime footballer. Players are drafted because they were very good or elite junior footballers. The development, confidence, ability to handle pressure etc. is ALL coaching related.

True. Out drafting isn’t the problem, our development is.

Players who get the ball and can’t find a target.
Acres
Billing’s
Ross
Steven
Geary
Newnes
Dunstan
Weller

Now you can’t win games with a list that long all year.

They have confidence to get the ball in, Richo can’t make them kick straight once they get it in. That is not a development or strategy problem, it is an execution problem

Sadly 3.10 which doesn't reflect that dominance. Should be at least 7.6.

When it’s a single player then that’s on him, but when it’s club wide that points to coaching/development.

Who is the commentator on Foxtel with the loud annoying voice?

He sounds like a moron.

Geary has just completely stuffed up 2 marking contests in a row, both resulting in goals.
