170 points for Bailey Dale

Fair to say he gave Owens a bath

Who is Ports HBs

And how many possessions will they get??

Maybe it won’t get back there because Rozee, Butters, Horne Francis, Drew and Wines will dominate so much we don’t get an i50

Dan Houston. Lock it in.
Nearly the best kick in the league and they’ll let him do what he wants.

I don't like commentators but they made fun of our guys guarding grass and not oppo.

You look at the disposals for Doggies and it was 100 more than us.
Pathetic

So was it the unlucky bounce in 2010 or more this unfortunate game plan?
It needs to be asked at some stage.

Shaw, Thomas, O'Brien etc. kept rebounding everything at will in 2010 .. we made them superstars. Enright, Kelly and Milburn destroyed us in 2009 ... we gave them too much latitude.

Martin 44, Sicily 46 ... seriously, now.
Harbrow also achieved his career high stats vs us under RL.

Half backs rack up their career high numbers against RL coached teams. Fact.

Ross: 'look, their HBs will get a lot of the ball. We can't stop that. What we'll do, is flood all our guys back so we can intercept and rebound...'

Sounds like a great plan, Ross

170 AF points?

Our club will help someone get a Brownlow.
It used to be a mids' award, for the first time in a long time, it'll go to a HB.
Thanks Saints

It's not enough that we have an average midfield, we're not helping things by giving/gifting midfield numbers to opposition half backs.
We effectively have two midfields to compete against.

Bailey Dale B.O.G. .... Be Our Guest (for the week). Help yourself.

Funny thing is

Bailey Dale has been in shocking form this season

But it ain’t hard to play without an opponent

It all happens because of our game plan, which does not trust or midfield
We send our two HFs to midfield to support at stoppages leaving spares to get proactive from behind the ball

I’ve never seen a team that allows opposition players to rack up career numbers with zero care!

Our midfield is getting belted around even with the HF support, so I wouldn't be inclined to trust them to duke it out alone either...

What's the point of having 6 guys around the stoppages if we've got a negative mindset?

Doesn't matter how many you have in the midfield if your priority is defense instead of hunting the footy.
