To beat the Saints on Sunday we must .....

[Go Swannies]

Go balls out

I always get that expression and "laces out" confused which is why they banned me from the footy field (and the winter footy season is uncomfortably cold).

At last some common sense.The list of tired cliche's in this thread was getting boring.I would add the suggestion that we have a game plan or plans and have drilled it at practise.Also take away automatic selection regardless of form and let the players know they have to perform to be selected.

I agree with this as well. The exact changes I'd like to see made, my only other change would be the inclusion of Mike Pyke. He's a goer, quick, menacing and plays with heart.

Give TDL a string of games to prove himself. The bloke knows how to kick a goal when so many don't.

[Bleed Red Blood]

I agree about Kirk. I think his absence is the biggest single factor. Explains our soft performances against Fremantle, Adelaide and last week. Our on-field leaders have gone missing too often.

Kirk would not be in the best 22. I think we are missing Micky O more.

Get each Swan to tell their St Kilda opposite number that it is a new tradition to swap jumpers before the game.

[Mr Magoo]

Play better than you talk about it

Kirk would not be in the best 22......

Really?

[snajik]

Really?

No I don't believe that either. He's been an enormous loss. Particularly when combined with the losses of C Bolton and Bradshaw.

[Plugger46]

Really?

If the 2010 version continued its decline, then probably not.

[Go Swannies]

listen to Jude?

[Triple B]

Well that's like saying Plugger wouldn't be in our best 22 either. Of course that's totally ridiculous.

Oh yeah of course but I think Bleed Red Blood meant (could be wrong) that a 34yo Kirk wouldn't be in our best 22.

[Triple B]

Fair enough, I didn't read it that way. If he did mean it that way, then I also agree with you both.

Kirk just being on the field was enough, cant quantify his presence in the team and Micky O is missed for different reasons. Kirk would have been one of the first picked.

We need a bloody miracle.
