Agree, that’s the way St Kilda make you play, you’re either up for the hard contested disciplined performance or you can turn up like Fremantle did the previous week for them…..
I agree too.

I wouldn’t be judging our ability to play based on this game with the stains.

Some have said in this thread that we won’t go far this season because we struggled tonight. It’s hard to play decent footy against such a hyper defensive system.

Unfortunately the stains generally match up against us pretty well. Although there is a significant gap in talent. They are scrappers and clog up every stage of the game except when they win possession at half back and try to get out the back.

The difference this season is we are defending so much better as a unit so they didn’t get many opportunities to split us open.

It’s this defensive improvement that actually gives me some optimism about this year. If we can sort out our inside 50s (evidence suggests we are lowering our eyes and also seeing a lot more blocks and dummy runs from our forwards) we can score.
 
This game showed me we don’t always need H and Charlie as key targets in f50….ok yo change it up and use them in different roles when required…

H on a wing to get us out of trouble

Charlie in d50 to help out

Gives other forwards a chance and less predictability …all oppos teams are Charlie and H conscious

We’re got the chance of being in the 8 in the next 2 weeks, SYD (SCG) GWS (MARV) before the bye…

If all the favourites win this weekend, we will be 8th at the end of the round as long as Geelong beat the Giants by at least 20


Prior to the Crows game last week, our % was:-

Now it's 110.0 & we are currently 9th.

Would have been in the 8 overnight had we not been beaten by 10 goals last week.
