If there’s one positive right now it’s that the heat is on from round 1. Last year it was too late.

My head is still processing what we witnessed yesterday.
Round 2 and I already feel sick about this weeks game and know I’ll go with my heart in my mouth that there will be another poor showing.
First Monday after round 1 and I’m already deflated about the footy. Depressing.
Nothing we can do. We pay our money and we sit back year after year and have the same outcome.
We’re not going to be a serious team this year based on what we saw. Don’t think Ive ever seen a team that did well in the full season show such an insipid display in round 1. You can lose yes. You can’t lose like that.

Just mentioned on other thread how the saints are rank outsiders at this stage has me baffled. Clearly not seeing what we all have
It already has the feel of how they finished the seasons between 2011-14 odd where there was literally no effort and heart and you knew you were rocking up to the footy to witness a massacre. I just don’t understand this club.

And only ~250m gained
You have to be kidding. They’ve only had 8 years to get it right they deserve a few more before they’re put on notice.

They have actually performed in the past, so I’m giving them a week to turn it around. The others have never performed, except bags who is cooked.
“It’s only Rd 1” but we also saw how Jekyll and Hyde we are given last season.
5 goal win coming up.
Out: Stringer, Bellchambers, Ambrose, Myers, Guelfi
In: Lav, Draper, Berzerker, Parish, Clarke

Seems to think he’ll be right to play on Saturday. In which case he shouldn’t be dropped.
Yep, I was only dropping him on injury as it sounded bad. In that case Lav for Bags

I’d like to know how Laverde went in the two’s? Or was he in Sydney as the travelling emergency?
so expect that change not to happen then.

So he did roughly the same amount at the 22 blokes who played.
