    Nice having Bailey Williams back, I think we’ve really struggled down back without his agility, elite decision making and pinpoint kicking.
    I’m with you. Our defensive pressure has been far too patchy over the last 3 weeks and if that happens tonight, I’m expecting Dixon to hit form again.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

      Dixon always seems to get a hold of us it would only seem... the last 2 times weve played port he's only kicked 2 goals each time and only 1 mark 2019 and 5 marks last year. That's not exactly great form!
      They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

        That’s surprising. Hopefully that 1 mark in 2019 continues in that form tonight.

          Didn't go in hard enough are you kidding? lol

              You have lost the plot. Contested possession was not the reason why Geelong won the game. The saints pressure was every reason why they put them selves into that game last night but missed the most gettable opportunities I have ever seen in a half of football from a side.

              You can read the stats all you like but mean nothing sometimes.

                  Ok here is a stat for you Saints kicked 2.6 to Geelong 6.6 in the second half.

                  Geelong had 70 plus more disposals than Saints. Saints couldn't get the ball

                      Kruder Saints lost, they weren't good enough. I am just pointing out why. I hate both teams, but I can see Geelong were too good.

                        Saints lost because they failed to apply scoreboard pressure
