Beaten by a side that's quicker, cleaner and hungrier.

Yep. Their superior skills, run and spread left us gasping in their wake by game’s end.

Well I'm no longer holding hope. I've seen nothing to indicate we've improved (relative to the comp) from R1. Depressingly this is a mini series showcasing the club's position in the competition for more than 2 decades.

Short of a miracle, it's another year in the count towards a 3rd decade.

Hope everyone finds joy this weekend in life outside the everlasting blues blues.

Keeping together is progress.

Well, its time for the mid-season bye.

Hopefully Ed Curnow clears his schedule and offers up some accomodation around the campfire again.
Time for some hard truths for a few of the boys.....and hopefully from the MC trying to work out exactly what we are trying to acheive.

We do not lead, we do not create space, we do fking nothing when someone has the ball outside 50. It is infuriating to watch the waste of effort time and again!

Funnily enough all the team stats are fairly even, except this one....again!!

Efficiency inside 50
GWS Inside 50s -47 efficiency inside 50- 57.4%
Carlton Inside 50s-58 efficiency inside 50-39.7%

Whatever the setup...it's just not working

We made too many errors that cost us goals.

That's where we collapsed defensively.

We didn't make the most of our opportunities going forward.

I think the team is not on the same page and that's an on field leadership problem.

Before the game, I quoted Mick Malthouse.  You don't win too many games making 5 changes to your lineup.

The concerning part is the yo yo of players in and out of the team tells me we are struggling for form and fitness more than anything else.

And guess what? Nothing is changing, nothing is improving. Same old same old.

A real huge positive - thankfully there is one - are the young ones!

White, Carroll, Lord and now O’Farrell have all
Now gotten some game time and imo are keeping their cool better than our seasoned professionals!  Hopefully they continue to improve and we can see their futures 👏🏽

We have a nice few weeks to hopefully get 7-7 but not going to be seeing a run like 2023 to get us out of the crape.

I'm hoping, like 2006 with Geelong, 2016 with Richmond, it's the very bad year they had between finals appearances and a dynasty. That's about all I have left. That last 10 min was just throwing in the towel. We got within 9 pts then immediately gave them 2 goals in 2 minutes. Until this mob want it badly enough consistently they'll be a disappointment. Have the ability but not the will. Could well be a wasted era. Just another St.Kilda these days.

It is depressing watching this team play.  They have no spark whatsoever.

I think our coaching group are not able to get the best out of them for whatever reason or maybe this group is just happy to get their pay cheque…..

 I don’t think the TDK situation is helping with moulding the team either.
