In many ways this summarizes our position as a rebuilding team.
Some glimpses from Charlie and Cunningham.
Would like to see some intensity under the pressure of fatigue last quarter.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

You would think players old be putting in the effort for a game round one, but not seeing much desire in our guys

The Hyphen reckons it'll take ten years to overcome the damage the MM era did to our club, he thinks so much damage has been done to the club culture we have to lose virtually all the exposed staff and players before we are clear any effects. They are damaged goods!
I thought Bolt's did OK last season to arrest the slide, but the second half of the season exposed just how deep the wounds go. Let's see what happens when the real season starts.

The third quarter was almost exclusively played on St Kilda's terms, with Saints recording 17 more forward 50s in the term (the largest differential in a preseason quarter since 2014).

Early days....half this team will be Bullants players, we lack leadership and know how today, still think we needed to recruit a player like Barlow to help Cripps and add some experience and size around the ball...no need to panic, we need our best team on the field to compete and lets be realistic...the Saints are a more developed list and we wont be making ground on them anytime soon..

Definitely depressing to listen to this going on. Our putrid recruiting and player development has really come back to bite us on the arse. How can we have people in the club paid to make such horrific decisions. I'm lost and disillusioned.

Staggered that our lack of scoring was so well highlighted last yr & seems to have had zero improvement this year?

White just about gets his head taken off, twice, in a tackle....walks off holding his neck and gets penalised for holding the ball.
So the tackle no longer has to be legal? Should he change his number to 14 and turn his jumper into hoops??
