Assuming Mitchell will start as the sub

Always danger games these are the games we should win but sometimes slip up. Saint Nick the clear danger and the question is who will go to Delsanto? We should get the chocolates.

Port by 16 points

[Hazbeen]

Phew, snuck home by 5 Pts after blowing a huge 1st half lead.

Must get the 4 qtr intensity back for the next month to hold 8th spot

The saints got a fair ride from the Green maggots! Their fans only make noise when it looks like they will win

Listen to this press conference from about 7:20 in.

Journo questions the effectiveness of our small forwards, saying they are not having enough impact.

HA! what fecking drugs is he on? Wingard in AA form with over 30 goals, Monfries with 25, Gray and Neade not so much on the scoreboard but definately off the ball pressure. If anything the output of Schultz and Butch has been under par.

[GWW]

Of those, Neade is definitely struggling, but the others have been good in recent weeks.

Gray was a little frustrating last night, but coming back from his injury, he was always going to struggle at times. He had picked up his form the prior 2 weeks.

In the end, it was good to get the win, although we're definitely a fair distance from the top 4 or 5 clubs.

[Booney]

We loooked tired during that third quarter and were lucky to get away with the win. Really was a tale of two halves and it was only some poor umpiring and Westhoff that kept us in it late. Mind you, the umpiring was so bad in the second half I dont know if it favoured anyone or not.

Wines and Neade need a break. Wines was paddling all night and Neade, although still trying, couldn't get his hands on it.

I'd give them both a week off to focus on the last 5 weeks and hopefully a finals berth.

What do we do with Hartlett? Clubs now know that they can simply shut him out of the game without too much fuss and leave us with one of our playmakers almost ineffective. We cant drop him at this point, maybe he could be the sub?
