Honestly believe we've got the talent but the problem we've got seems to be leadership and coaching. It's just total confusion. But we don't have the $ to pay out Goody and to contract a good new coach. The AFL won't bail us out again.

Carlton mk2?

Do they know how to man up?

He stole one of those off Pickett too when Kossie was streaming into goal.

My favourite player already.

That farce in our forward line early summed so much up. A certain goal stuffed up about three times before it was cleared by Geelong. Oliver got possession, running towards goal and turned and ran away from goals and lost it. He continually sends the ball backwards rather than forwards when clearing. He also walked off Guthrie at one stage and let him grab a second possession and set up a goal.

Goodwins thinking about changing something soon.

Nice work by Hannan on the mark then

God BT is going to go off about balls for the next hour.

Tmac starting to get his hands on it at last.

Goal Fritta 5 good disposals in a row. Go Dees

If they lose another one we're stuffed

I've taken to counting the number of consecutive effective disposals in a row we can do. (<2m Handballs don't count) Best I saw in first quarter were two consecutive kicks to a team mate. Try it, it distracts you from the horror of it all and watching this club destroy talented youngsters careers over and over again.

Melksham is just jogging around.

Gotta wait until the game is past saving.

Nice bomb in by Fritta. Fmd

Viney jogging back into defense.

I think our biggest danger will be lack of intensity out of the blocks. E.g. a repeat of the West coast game where we are trouserless by quarter time.

I wound back and watched it a couple of times. I'm positive it was one. Betts questioned it then dropped it and got on with falling back. He was so upset by it he went back to argue it after the game.

I see some vitamin ad with Dennis Cometti on it every now and then and it makes me yearn for better times when commentators weren't ssuch twats

That was nuts. 50m from the goal square and they put the man on the mark in the centre circle. Talk about trying to gift them the game.

What an atrocious 50m against Betts. Suck it druggos

Great win by the saints. Great pressure. Interesting comments during the game from Riewoldt and Dunstall about how the stk forwards nulified the tiges defensive zone by forcing the to play man on man / one on one contests. We should be doing the same.

Saints running hard both ways and good disposal. What a difference it makes! Theyre also not having 3 players getting sucked into tackling one opponent. Go saints.

Keith Richards biography was a really good read. Surprisingly he remembered lots! He spoke about how thrilled he was to tour the US the first time. Not for the fame but the opportunity after their big shows to go and find his heroes in little dive bars and sit in with them and play and learn from them. He saw this as a huge priveledge. I guess racism gets beaten when people walk a mile in other peoples shoes and people keep an open mind. It is up to us all not to step over racism and violence to others.
