    We can't blame those easy misses at goal for losing. The Saints also missed several easy shots. Schiender missed two gettable shots for example.
    Not when the game was there to be won. It's all about momentum, we kick those goals the scores are level and we have the momentum, but instead we miss two sitters, St Kilda rebound and kick the pressure goal and the game's over.

    We miss those goals everytime, it's not about bad luck, it's not about just not getting it right that time, it's an inability to step up when the moment comes. We did the same thing against Collingwood earlier this year, in the 2009 prelim and qualifying finals, in the 2008 prelim final, it happens time after time and it's just not good enough!

        Schnieder missed one in the last 30 metres in front, when the pressure was on and another Saint (can't remember who) ran into an open goal and missed. Look I agree ours were more vital shots.

        Can't argue with that, but why why why, how can we turn this around?

            The man that works that out will be a very wealthy man.

            For me it comes down to belief, our players hope to win rather than expect to. They hope their shot goes through rather than believe it will. The players that kick the pressure goals want to be the one with the ball in their hands because they believe they are the best person to do it. Despite our weekly "we have great belief" speech in the media, I don't think there is belief amongst the playing group.

            The only way it's likely to change is if we happen to stumble onto a Wayne Carey type player, a bloke with an arrogant swagger who wants to be the player at the centre of attention and will deliver so he's on the front page of the paper the next day. Unfortunately I don't think our leadership style would tolerate a person like that.

                Easier said than done getting a Wayne Carey type. Where were our leaders last night? Boydy was the only one that resembled a leader
