Don’t understand the criticism of Henry. He was one of the few that tried to create.
Midfield was absolutely towelled up. Serong did nothing. Jaeger looked slow. Jackson failed to impress despite all the hype. Will Brodie no impact.
Treacy is supposed to be a wrecking ball, a couple of balls came in high to the goal square, between him, Tabs, Jackson and Darcy not one created a contest.
Shultz and Frederick were invisible. Fyfe was really bad. If the answer is to put him back in the centre for the next 12 years we are cooked.
The back six racked it up. If Ryan, Young, Cox, Clark, Wilson and Chapman get 177 possessions, and this results in 52 points something is sadly wrong with our method.
Even if we are getting towelled up in the midfield this amount of footy has to result in metres gained.
We lacked intensity all day. How many times did we kick it to a contest only have Saints players arrive first and sweep it away? Reeked of a playing group that has got way ahead of itself and is pretty happy with themselves. They showed little respect to their opponents and the coaching staff let them coast along. It’s almost like all day they assumed they would win
