Good to have a win but let's be real, if we weren't so freakishly accurate it could've went the other way pretty quickly.
I was disappointed that we had the opportunity to up our percentage yet we still can't put teams away.
We still let them have the momentum for too long. What was it, 4 goals in the last quarter?
Great first half but against a better team we would've been smoked, again.
The highlight for me was Jack Silvagni filling in for TDK, that's the standard we should be setting for the whole club.
Great to see Charlie come out unscathed, great goal and what we have been missing, a 50m plus goal kicker.
The low point for me was Murphy, he's clearly injured still. Very sad way to end a career, being subbed into a game on one leg just to reach a number. Some may think this is good culture helping him reach 300, to me it highlights all that is wrong with our culture at the club. The individual over the team. As I have said before I would've loved to see him fight to hit the 300 over this.
Teague is still a dead man walking, lucky win but it changes nothing. Too many questions and not enough answers for me.
Lucky win....hahahahahahahahahahaha! We were 50 points up until we took our foot off the gas and you say we were lucky. We won because we dominated them. Some posters are incredible.
I assume you are not a hypocrite and say if we kicked straight against Geelong we likely win.
We didn't take the foot off the peddle, if that's what you think then your probably on your own there. We just can't play 4 quarters under Teague, as it is in all the games he has coached. Why would he and the players let an opportunity to get valuable percentage to make the top 8 go missing?? Ridiculous comment.
And if you look at the game stats, they pretty much beat us in everything, except goal accuracy.
A more accurate team vs our recent accuracy would've seen us beat, you can't argue the math.
Our recent goal accuracy:
RD 20 - 88% Saints 64%
RD 19 - 50%
RD 18 - 50%
RD 17 - 36%
As for the Geelong game, I did't watch it but everyone in football knows if you kick goals over points you give yourself a better chance to win. And at 36% kicking accuracy that is giving yourself no chance.
