DJ....We are dumber than most and our players dont want responsibility and you are on your own out there...eg .poor Judd gest the break in the middle of the ground goes for a run with his old legs and gets tackled from behind...other teams would have let him know to get rid off the footy or make position for him closer by so he could dish the ball off...not our team they just let him get swallowed up and then allowed that little maggot Melksham to rub it in. It was sad watching a champ get ditched by his teammates and shows you how lacking we are in spirit IMO....
Its hard top be creative when you mates dont back you up and you have to play safe every kick/handpass...

Juddy had no-one to kick to. He stopped his first kick because the target was covered and there was no-one else.

There are so many things wrong with our footy; long bombs to the pockets, not taking the first option, key forwards who follow each other, no lead up targets, no shepherding, suppressed instinctive play, rushed kicks, ball chasing, etc, etc.

Some of Micks thoughts on team selection for the upcoming Saints game:

The three-time premiership coach said the Blues would fly Kristian Jaksch to Wellington as cover for Jamison, while Matthew Dick, Dylan Buckley and Dillon Viojo-Rainbow were among the candidates to replace Yarran.

Carlton's first selection in last year's national draft Blaine Boekhorst is yet to make his AFL debut and Malthouse suggested he had work to do before he did so.

"He's a 25-possession player from the weekend (in the VFL but) he still needs weight and he needs consistency," he said.

Not sure Boekhorst will get a softer ride into AFL footy than playing the Saints..dont know what the other three have done ahead of BB to get picked either?

If you want to replace like for like with Yarrans omission it has to be Boekhorst. They are both outside run and carry players.

Not sure how/why you'd pick rainbow before boeky.
Dick will give you run and carry....if he was a rugby player he'd be great..unfortunately you need to kick the ball in AFL footy and lets just say he isn't a Chris Yarran when it comes to that.
Buckley would be my 2nd choice behind Boeky to replace Yazz.

Boekhorst is a wingman not a HBF, he isn't accountable and too easily disposed of in contests. Viojo-Rainbow and Buckley are both HBFs!

It will come down to match ups.

I couldn't tell you bugger all about the Saints they've changed so much in 3 years.

Do they have small forward or two that Bucks can play on?

Byrne to half back...Boekmeister as the sub would be the way I would go...

The Rainbow warrior and SOJ have not been anything special in the NB's and Dick has been serviceable across HB without
being outstanding. Byrne in the last quarter vs Ess looked like he could give us some of that run and good disposal we will miss from Yarran...

Young recruit in Jack Lonie who is the replacement for Milne..

Yes, Byrne looked good, one of our few bright spots. I would like to see him start the game, esp. V. The Saints.
Reality always wins in the end.

ST KILDA will be without captain Nick Riewoldt and midfielder Leigh Montagna for this Saturday’s Anzac Day match against Carlton in Wellington.

Seriously, if we cant beat  a Riewoldt and Mongtagnaless Aints team, then wow, MM and the boys should stay in NZ as Prices Park will burn!!!!

Treat every opponent with respect, have a plan, execute the plan, the rest will take care of itself.

Amen!
We haven't been able to yet this season, but if we can, we should prosper.

We'll smack the Saints and I'll tip it now, knock off the Pies too.
Positive things will start to happen as the team settles and more personal is available.
