No one was more disappointed than me but I also saw it coming, it was obviously there for all to see.
The Saints had some good mids out but still had some of their senior ones in. We had all our key forwards out. We had our best defender out who can also play forward and 2 ruckmen and 2 good mids including our hardest.
The Saints were rubbished by the media and were going to come out fighting.
They had their champion captain forward in and fit and other key forwards to back him up.
You can't win a game without key forwards as we have seen over the last 7 years.
We also played 2 sub AFL standard footballers
On top of that, on the day, we kicked terribly for goal, lost our CHF and CHB in the first quarter and also had Howe and Dunn injured early.
We also as usual didn't get any luck with the umps.
We gave away at least 4 goals from crap turnovers.
However we did have more possessions, more inside 50's, but because of poor kicking wasted the chances.
For the record, I can't see us winning a game until we get our key forwards back and playing well. I think our second half of the year is going to improve markedly.
