There were clear breakdowns in communication throughout the game though. Uncontested marks without a defender in sight. Players getting out the back. At times the defense looked very brittle. It shouldn’t hurt us against a dysfunctional team like Essendon. But it’s a risk. Whether it requires a change in personnel I don’t know. But Smith looked very shaky until the last quarter.

Why do people have it in for ANB so much? It’s really a bit crazy.

Definitely get more joy watching Trac but geeze I’m happy May plays for us. Not just for his ability. A proper leader. I hope it’s for a long time to come.

Two things. 1. May is my favourite player and it’s becoming daylight second. The bloke is a god send. Can’t remember the last KPD I feel totally at ease about when the ball is in his vicinity. 2. Rivers should have played a lot more than 8 of a possible 16 games this year. Not a big selection failure but a selection failure nonetheless There are things to feel down about but the crop of kids coming through is definitely not one of them.

A chance? Yes. They are a chance.

That last minute took 5 years off my life.

I like Brown but if he just turned around he’d have seen the quick option streaming inside 50.

Daisy Thomas on those Pointsbet ads is excruciatingly bad. It’s like watching a crap Year 9 drama student.

God he completely milked that. Nice effort to stage for a free in your 200th. Slow clap.

We can’t afford for senior players to be making schoolboy errors.

Dumb play Lever. Needless.

If he’s not AA this year I’ll go jump.

Kozzie is having a real dip tonight.

If Betts kicked that it would be a monty for goal of the year.

Trac makes me feel fuzzy in the pant region.

Nice Hunty

Won’t be a serious code until umps are professional. The umpiring this year has hit a new low.

Lol nice one maggot. Player signals fifty so he gives fifty. What a weak minded dog.

The Kozzie talk this week has been ridiculous verging on embarrassing.

That was a solid finish from Spargs. We miss those all the time.

Why am I watching this? It’s only going to [censored] me off. Again.

It is so frustrating watching a hack side like St Kilda and knowing they sit sixth. Sixth! A competition full of plodder sides and we still can’t make the 8. Shameful stuff.

Would be a waste of a spot. At least the Dogs might shake things up.

Was mentioned in one of the Fox segments that he might be a worth a late second rounder to a club looking for a key defender. Would be taking that and running at full pelt.

Perhaps it is semantics but excess travel and short prep time can cause fatigue. They are bundled together. The difference between the last two games and the Saints game was stark. The only other game they have truly been reminiscent of was the Port game. The consistent thread being the short turnaround. It’s not an excuse. We are also an average side with an inflexible and often times predictable game style, a poor bottom 6 players, a void in onfield leadership etc. But these additional variables undoubtedly hurt, and they hurt an underperforming club like ours more than they would others.
