Fun Shoe
The young guys haven't had the experience they should have because they've been kept out of the team for so long. The middle bracket are just playing terrible football, way below their usual standard. And with the exception of Hodge, the old guys don't really seem up to it anymore.

Box Hill is equal top in the VFL so there must be someone down there that is worth a crack. I wasn't expecting more than two or three changes this week but Langford being one of them is what is annoying me.

edit: I disagree with dropping Brand as well.

Saints losing the plot early. Can't move the ball forward cleanly, can't kick goals, easy turnovers to GWS.

Sam Gilbert would frustrate the hell out of me if I were a Saints fan.

Also, where the gently caress has holding the ball gone?

It seems like a lot of energy expended for not enough reward, Saints should be doing better. Not helped by bizarre umpiring, they seem afraid of holding the ball calls.

Can't convert sitters, too many fumbles in the 50 for the Saints. We're just lucky GWS isn't punishing us harder.

Welcome to my entire life since 1966. When we had great forwards, we sold them to other teams, and we seem to have permanent issues with the ball in the 50. We've had great midfields, we can tackle with the best, but we never seem to put the whole package together consistently.

My oath, run yourself ragged, watch the opposition kick free goals in the 4th quarter. We're like Melbourne but with funny kicks.

Case in point: where were the Saints in the 50 there, GWS just made a goal out of their disarray.

It's okay though, they're still not converting what they should, even as you can clearly see GWS players just walking now.
