Bomber Thompson is "special" comments and he said it's good to have Gilbert back for experience but he just laughed at his kicking - can't blame him.

What was that free kick for? Armitage had to bend over to pick up the ball and got hit high. He didn't duck and he didn't go in low or slide in. FFS!

Always hate seeing that stat for conteted footy when Saints aren't winning it. Melbourne have more possession particularly handball due to good Saint pressure.

1 point game is a true reflection.


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

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Terrible defensive game so far, and unless the midfield start hitting the contest a bit harder, the Demons will sneak away- just far too many easy possessions by the Demons
