is it? miss a couple of good players and they struggle. even with all the help they've had.
Off game. Plenty of depth. Espeically considering what they've given away (player wise). Whitfield still yet to play also. They're still top 2 in the comp

if you can't cover a couple of players with the handouts and high end picks they have then their depth is crap.

st kilda were very good but gws should not be dropping games like that if they're serious.

Underselling the competitiveness of the comp and the saints. You'll also drop a game that you'll expect to win. It happens. Doesnt mean they arent serious contenders.

they are if they have everyone fit.

they are a special case. their circumstances are vastly different to anyone else in the comp. they need to be held to a higher standard. what was it, 5 1st or 2nd picks were out there for them today?

they lose a couple of those guys and they struggle. they might not lose those games because the individual quality of the guys that take the field will likely prevail. they should not be in a position where they lose a couple of blokes and they look poor.

Jeez, that comes across incredibly bitter.

Happy for these calls to be made, but after one game, it is reactionary at its finest.

Every year they have bled high quality players. Treloar, WHE, Adams, Boyd, Hampton, etc. and lost salary cap concessions, and still improved markedly.

Its a long season, but I'm interested to see how we go tonight as last week was the closest we have looked to playing into any sort of form. We need to get out of second gear, the delayed start of pre season has taken its toll a bit but I'm more than comfortable with the reasons behind it of course
