How many times are we going to get tackled without the ball /?after disposing of it until we get a free??

Loved Cross's game today, been excellent

Hell yeah Salem.

Grimes marks with no one even near him and he just stands there and looks. [censored] idiot getting moving forward.

Frustrating game.

Mitch White has shown enough today to be elevated as well Nasher, very happy with the look of both

Surely this game is showing Roos to show faith in some of our young talent. Gotta love Salem.

Salem, Viney, Brayshaw, Hogan, Stretch. Thank you football gods for these guys. Please never leave us.

This is some stinking bad display of footy. Our skills are seriously deplorable and most our players are so dumb. No idea when how or where to kick/handball

The only thing GWS is killing us with is their speed. On a fast Etihad track you can just see how their fast half back rebound leaves us for dead. We desperately need leg speed. Desperately!

I haven't seen any of the game, but I like the look of being +43 in disposals and +15 in tackles.

Leading them in every statistic except free kicks, but only up by 2 points, suggests to me it's a case of effort good, skill bad. That is, at least, an improvement on the previous three weeks.

IMO there is a lot to be gained from this second half. We'll end up above St Kilda on the ladder in points, and if the margin is right, we may also exceed St Kilda's percentage too. If only to stick it up the insufferable support the Saints continue to undeservedly receive, I'd love to get this win. But add to that getting rid of this stupid Etihad stadium losing record, a win over GWS for the first time in 2.5 years, a win over a side which is 11-10 going into this game, and some confidence moving into the pre-season, and there is enough to be had in this game to have me caring for a win.

Edit: no surprises that, yet again, the positivity is being generated from our youth whilst our senior players are making errors.

Brayshaw viney harmes Hogan stretch macx2 gawn.

Salem's a freak. You can't tackle him.

Mitchell White has made a couple of mistakes but he can find the footy and hit targets. I already like him more than Grimes.

Even if it's a messy game skills wise, does not bother me if we win. Would love a win to end the season

Copping it rough from the umps. Some shocking calls. These short handpsses are absolutely killing us. When we move the ball fast by foot we look good.

Hopefully grimes' last game. He is not good enough

Man I love the look of our young brigade.

Already love how O Mac and Mitch White play and read the game.

The nucleus is there. Roll on 2016.

Our pressure has been first rate, but our ball movement has been too slow and shonky kicks in to 50. Should be a lot further in front.

Hopefully we can finish the season on a positive note.

Tackling has been good, but dear gods do we [censored] around with it while our forwards exhaust themselves making leads.

Grimes marks with no one even near him and he just stands there and looks. [censored] idiot getting moving forward.

Frustrating game.

Yes, I think you've made your point.

Kids are leading the way.

Garland continuing his fine season I see.

Do supporters honestly think we're a better side with him?

Haha.

Seriously.

Salem, Viney, Brayshaw, Hogan, Stretch. Thank you football gods for these guys. Please never leave us.

On the basis of today's performance, I'd add Harmes to that list.

It is unusual to win clearances. contested ball and tackles and yet be losing free kick count.

I think Sandy Roberts is watching The Lord of the Rings. If he announces "from whence it came" again I shall fear an invasion from middle earth.

On the plus side our pressure has been good and I'm liking Salem the more I see him.

I think it's been entertaining. It could be that I have just lowered my standards, but our players have busted a gut and come out on top in the contest. We've made it impossible for them to move it forward with any purpose.

Would like to see a bit more polish in our kicks though!

excellent play by Mitch White

What happened with Dawes?

Thought he was named in the side.

God I hope we win so Dwayne can eat his own sh*t.

Harmes looks a serious player
