It might have been a throw-away line but here's an interesting perspective on the loss in round one:

the Saints were allowed to stack on 11 consecutive goals while the Swans remained stagnant from late in the first term until halfway through the last. Down on experience, the Swans struggled to find an avenue to goal and didn't register a multiple goalkicker.

I'm not sure if she meant "down on experience" through:
  • the absence of Kennelly / O'Loughlin / Barry,
  • the inclusion of young players or
  • exiting the pre-season competition early.
but it's an interesting observation. How many games did our least-experienced half dozen or so players have compared with St Kilda's?
 
The line was wrong as it was our least experiancd players who played the best (with the exception of Craig Bolton).

I would hardly say Barlow or Moore had cracking games. White did a couple of good things, but was not near the best.

Bird was though.

I thought Bolton, LRT and Super Ted were the best and they aren't exactly that green anymore.

Grundy kicked two so the entire statement looses credibility in the observation we had no multiple goal kickers.

Maybe she took one from his tally for the dropped mark that directly led to a Saints goal at the vital moment early in the last quarter.
