No he's had a none impact game. Very unusual.

He's not alone. Kozzie getting tagged out.

Salem and Lever quiet.

Dees 45 Saints 58

Saints 134 uncontested possessions as they slice through our zone (no man on man footy)

What planet are you on picket?

Turner is our key back for the next 10 years. The worst thing we can do for his career is to keep swinging him forward, back, forward, back

Agree but he did kick 3 great goals earlier after dominating in defence. Petty useless as forward but better at defence. BUT whole piont is this why is our bestt defender for last 2 years T.Mac not playing?? Thats down to Goodwin!

Kozzy forward to try and shake the tag pls

Healy and Dwayyyne Russell are Dees haters!! Healy especially. Calling Saints frees ,Question Dees frees ,Riv hit in head, … play on ! Healy hates Dees ever since we beat him and the $$$Swans in 1987 finals !!

We lifted our intensity a lot that quarter thank God, but we largely still played like rubbish I thought. Stupid errors like Melksham pulling the kick back to the top of the 50 where the sea of hands couldn't keep the ball locked and Butler ended up scoring. Even towards the end of that quarter when Max got the free just not thinking before taking that short pass and nearly costing us another goal.

We need to bloody relax, take a second to think and then execute. Oliver, Langdon, Rivers all need to lift.

I said i would have taken a quarter where we made inroads into the lead, I still think we can play a lot better. The game should open up a bit in the second half and allow more chances, just take them because every game is an elimination final from here on in.

How many weeks for AJ?

He’s a nobody and already been suspended this season, so 3

Just dropping in for my obligatory (since 2023 Finals) “good kicking is good footy” drive by snipe at our goal kicking

No concussion so you’d guess just 1 week but the MRO will spin their wheel of nonsense

137 disposals as a team for a whole half. Surely that's got to be the lowest for a team this year?

2/3

The Saints are getting their goals from quick transition, or a "joe-the-goose" over the back. Small structural changes from the Dees in the 2nd half should clog this up.

Lindsay onto Butler and Windsor onto the wing.

May and Lever getting better as the game continues, Turner is in our best 3 or 4 players, Bowey and Rivers to lift.

AJ 3 weeks.

No concussion so it will be 1-2, probably 2 given how unnecessary it was.

Edited June 1, 2025Jun 1 by godees

Sinclair has 17 kicks at 100% efficiency

Can we put someone on him Simon?!?

He's a nobody so will get 3 for sure.

Forward tackle count is atrocious.

Max doesn't focus on the goals long enough. He looks down with just the odd glance at the sticks and then always misses. Simply needs to lift his head up. Small change.

Was AJ's hit he gave out, any worse than the one Spargo got?

Saints forward line is not tall. Tmac, like May, is slow to react and useless below his knees. IMO we could only play one of them today

At least Keeler was quiet in the 2nd qtr

We should start pickett fwd and isolate windhanger deep.

Langdon 3 disposals WTF?

Thats my first thoughts but we lose his midfield drive even though he’s providing none atm 🤷‍♂️

Just now, Roost it far said:

Yes, but he is hopeless below his knees. We could not play both May and Tmac today

Melbourne are the most frustrating footy team ever. That is all

Can’t understand why TMac has been dropped for Lever & Sharp should always be a sub!!!!

Ross is a very astute coach. He’s shut down Langdon and Bowey and we’ve lost all our drive and spread.
