Just on Weiters, watching the side live again today, I don't think there is a spot for him in the backline at the minute TBH.

Yep he does work hard, but he gives it up too easily as well. All that work is going to bite him on the ar5e if he keeps topping the clangers table!

When you have so many kids playing, you are bound to have plenty of ups and downs.
Today simply wasn't our day.
Casboults radar was off.
Fisher and Cripps did the impossible in failing to get a shot on goal despite being free in the goal square. (FWIW, that Cripps free was about as bad as you can get. He slapped his hip and that was deemed an acceptable tackle?! >  )
Graham, Daisy and White had some shocking turnovers....and there was probably a few more names in there.
The boys tried hard and thats about all you can ask of them.
Got a good 8 day break to take on Freo over there.
Lets bring the same enthusiasm there.

Some blunders in front of goals and well as some baffling umpiring stopped the game being a cliff hanger late.

Can I just share a pretty funny piece of commentary from the crowd (at least I think it was funny). A StK supporter and I were going toe to toe with the jibes, he was going hard at Daisy, I was going hard at St Nick. So it was all square when Casboult marked in the last qtr and lined up for goal. This guy stands up and yells "Carlton? Set up your zone, set up your zone". I clapped that TBH and he shaded ahead and won the day's joust.

When we turned up the heat and cracked in, they went to water I felt, as I said earlier, they like the outside stuff which they are very good at. When the whips are cracking deep in Sep, I dont think they will cope.
Ill tell what will also bring them undone, gifting games to Saint Nick. He is finished.
They won't go far in September agree with that, just talking the here and now. Right now they're as hot as anyone and we matched them. They won't be that hot forever and hope we can get them next time.

...since the dawn of time with that mob Shawny, as sure as death and taxes... gave up getting upset at getting stiffed against this mob years ago. At times it is so bad you wonder if it is to instructions... don't get me started on St Nick or the lauded Lenny "never caught in possession against Carlton" Hayes...
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I am very pleased with today's performance and result. I thought we'd trail by about 40 or so, provided we bought our best. So much so that I could sit and watch the game with my saints partner. When we played them last year, I couldn't stay in my seat. I get why BB does laps around the coaches box :-[
Our youngsters will wax and wane. That's a given. A couple of our seniors had a quiet one for sure. But our leaders and most of the 2nd tier players were fantastic. Murphy, MK, Gibbs, COS, Simmons, Rowe (probs others too) stood up against an in form hard, fast, mature team. Crippa, Docherty, Plowman showed their class. Samo, Marchbank, SOJ, and Williamson were solid. Little Zac got thrown around like a rag doll at times. Love how he bounces back though. He's going to be a star.
Got a couple of incorrect umpiring decisions by omission and commission, at crucial times. Really punished us when we had the momentum :o Bit of luck with that and we could have scraped over the line. Not to be, but can't fault the coaching, effort, and skills for the most part.
So much to like. Progressing nicely.
Go new Blues.
