Membrey had zero tackles too and did less than king does he stay in?
Also you want to drop king but you don’t want to play kids. Is there an experienced star forward at sandy ready to step up and be a spearhead in the most boring team in the comp?
Training standards are better. Too bad we have to play actual games.There is s**t and a bit better than s**t though.
I’m not and never have been a jones fan so probably not. Who gets a chance will depend on the sandy game tomorrow and the match committee. All I’m saying is simply these guys aren’t untouchable, poor form should see players dropped and good form should see players promoted. I get how hard some work setting an example on the track etc but when alls said and done it’s what you do in games that really counts.Who you bringing in? *ing Jones again
Think that 15 or so i50's in the ENTIRE first half might have been a bigger problem.AFL 1
StK 0
Higgins’s suspension cost us the game
Oh and third quarter-
20 mins in

1 goal 5 behinds
Unacceptable.
That's all you can say really.
For years, we've bemoaned any sort of midfield and our skill level is just sub standard.
It's quite simply amazing that a professional sports team can have this standard of failure for such an extended period of time.
18 months.
After that I refuse to mentally, emotionally and financially support this club whom I have followed as long as I have been interested in footy and and been a member for the last quarter of a century plus.
The current climate of the AFL is already pushing me towards other sporting codes and my kids (the next generation mind you,) have well and truly lost interest not just in the Saints but in AFL entirely.
I hope the club can turn it around, but this is proving to be historically impossible.
This loss in isolation wasn't great but it's been a culmination of decades of mediocrity punctuated by a few years of hope. 1 premiership in our history was enough of a warning, but the romantic in me thought "maybe? why not us this year??" Well, I'll tell you why - the club is happy with bobbing along as close enough is good enough.
Bitterly disappointed with this season and now that finals are out of reach couldn't really be interested in watching or attending the games, I'll look up the stats of the kids (who will inevitably leave for more successful clubs) after the fact.
Well done Saints, 38 year member ready to give it all away after years of nothing.
Do something, anything! that gives me pause for thought.
If we had more kids with less than 3 games would we have won?Yeah well we lost so there goes your argument
We need another big guy that can give Max a chop out
Yeah ok heard you the fifteenth time cheers for the response.We need Max to give himself an uppercut and pull his finger out ... can't keep giving him excuses
I mean we're in dire need of a high end pick midfielder
North have a better forward line than usTotally agree we are playing a midfield that is the worst in the comp and the coaches keep going to the same players eg Seb Ross. Far too many players who cant win a contest and then we have players who are being mismanaged and are going backwards. It seems every week we have 2 or 3 complete howlers in front of goals and our forwards line is the worst in the competition.
Some might say we have to go backwards to go forwards, but ATM we arent playing like a team who believes they can or desparately wants to win games.
Today we saw a dispirited group who thought they would get away with a half baked effort and they got the result they deserved. If we are blatantly honest with respect to consistent footballing effort not much has changed with this group under Lyon than the previous coaches.
One of the issues is by talent, it should be our strongest line. Most of the starting players (at least when Higgins and Butler are in the side) have multiple sustained periods of their careers that show they are good players. But whatever we are doing at the moment isn't letting any of them play near their best.The midfield has its issues, but the huge issue with our side is the forward line. Look at the lineup today, it's surely the worst two or three in the comp?
We need another big guy that can give Max a chop out, we need some smaller pressure players. We are desperately missing Butler and of course Higgins. Membrey in horrendous form.
The reason we are horrible to watch is because we don't score and the reason we don't score is our forward line sucks.
Training standards are better. Too bad we have to play actual games.
Have not been to a game this season. Prefer training and Sandy.

it should be our strongest line.
