One injury. Surely as a top 2 side we are better than that.

You just cant.

Riewoldt is irreplaceable but another forward would help. Kosi is not playing like a forward at the moment and to be fair, the midfield are not getting clearances or clear passages of play to be effective.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Kosi is hardly providing a contest atm.

SO many passengers this week though.

why not have a look at zac, at least kosi busts his ass and brings the ball to ground, zac is like playing one man down, a rabbit in the headlights... he is useless. to think we went into a wet grand final with him ahead of max is beyond me..

Yes definitely. Our forward line with him in it resembles scenes from The Three Stooges. He is that crap and clumsy as a main target, he actually spoils his smaller teammates around him. He had a few OK games last year as a second forward option only because most of the opposition's defence focused on Rooey. When he has to play as out No. 1 forward they run off him easier than Gehrig in the twilight of his career.

He has reverted back to the player he was at Hawthorn.

Kosi is a liability so is King. Mc Evoy and Stanley must be a chance


To accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe.

What a joke of a thead! Do we drop him??

Imagine if Raph (or McQualter) played 10 pathetic games in a row and the uproar it would cause!
Yet this guy doesn't have to earn a call up...just waltzes in and does nothing since before the finals LAST YEAR..and now peole question his place in the side.... :roll:


Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.

Definitely .....

I dont know if he can improve even if dropped, but we need to find another alternative he is terrible without Riewoldt.

I have never seen a player of his size so easily out positioned in marking contests.

Looks like "Tarzan plays like Jane".

Who ever is doing the marking coaching at the SAINTS should be replaced and invite Stewart LOEWE down to take over!


SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

second ruck. goddard to ff, blake or gilbert to chf. we must do something quickly about our lack of viable goal kicking key forwards.

Kosi is targeted, and without Roo up forward why wouldn't he be. If we dropped Kosi (for whatever reason) we'd be further behind on our "back foot". It's be a very bad call IMHO


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

After tonight we just cant put BJ to FF. Our midfield was poor even with him there. Imagine how it would be without him.

The problem is who do we bring in if Kosi is dropped? And to be totally fair there have been alot of passengers this year along side of Kosi. There are a few that have seemed to have escaped scrutiny!

mate, you've got to kick goals to win matches. our forward set up is so poor at the moment that it is affecting the midfield and the backline.

they are going backwards and sideways at the moment but will lift with a dangerous option presenting up forward

there is nothing to kick to at present.

but we agree on one thing. kosi should be banished from the forward line.

Our inside 50's have been terrible the last 3 weeks. unless you get it down there Plugger wouldnt kick a goal. Kosi will stay there as there isnt any other options. Mids and backs need to lift.
