Ummm have you watched how the ball comes in?
Do you honestly think any forward line would perform?

Was at the game and it felt like watching the under 5s - basically a rolling scrimmage with no system or structure. Painful to watch.

Couldnt really have picked out any stand out players but Casboult stood out, which is great for him, but also an indictment on the club.

Plowman has to go.
Dow makes lots of mistakes but I’d definitely persist.
Kennedy & Silvagni painfully slow.
Nothing in the 2s.

Ummm did you see the positioning of the fwds today?

and SPS.

And Weitering - he's way off today.

Bolton may be stubborn, but our players have no confidence and don't work hard enough. I can't say the same things every week for the other teams going around, not every week.

I don't give a toss whether it's the players or the coach's fault...it's unacceptable for all these blokes - players and coaches - to dish that rubbish up at this level.

ps I'm talking about the entire 22, not just the 3 key forwards.

He doesn’t cope well with mid sized physical, quick opposition. Why the coach didn’t say, I don’t know, swap him with McGovern for a spell to see what would happen? McGovern was doing two shakes of f-all anyway. At least Weitering can take a mark and force the Saints to re-asses? Who knows. I’m just sick of it. Maybe Andy Maher was right about the word on the street that Bolton is a stubborn guy. I think inept is more apt.

MLG. Step up to the Plate. Call for an independent review, right now. State that all positions are under Review. Ideally, I’d love Bolton to be sacked now, to give some assistant 12 games to try his luck and also prove to would be coaches like Longmire, Roos, Scott that we can play. There is no point waiting any longer for Bolton to prove that he cannot get 4 quarters of effort out of a team and have them working as a unit, with a clear system. Ideally Roos - until Clarkson’s contract is up in 3 years and then we nab him. Bolton cannot seem to make logical decisions, promptly, on game day and plays his favourites. Please just walk the plank. Even if we beat Essendon next week, it just feels to me like holding back the inevitable at this point. At this point we are doing more damage to the brand than we are working on building success.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Cripps's first 15 -20 minutes were outstanding.
The guy looked like he was determined to drag the rest of them along with him to fulfil the promise of the players meeting.
Unfortunately after a good start they dropped off and he couldn't carry them any further,

Cripps got off to a good start but I thought his opponent Steele was very good with 28 possies and 10 tackles and the Saints mids combined efforts
wore us down. Thought we failed again to help Cripps and the work load is wearing him down....Dow and Fisher were unsighted and Kennedy didnt have any real impact.
