Game Day NAB Challenge Week 1, St Kilda v North Melbourne 2.05pm (EDT), Saturday 20 February, Wangaratta

Jesus. How is that worth 50m?

 

[Curious George]

Every player has had a 'great preseason' , 'solid preseason' , 'excellent preseason'. These blokes shouldn't be allowed near a microphone.

 

[jonathons11]

Coughlan really needs to get into the weight room

 

[Smoke_Me_AKipper]

Agreed tpo many free kicks for stupid thigns....but in saying that they use the NAB cup to test things out even if tis just to show that what they are trying to do is rubbish

 

[Joffaboy]

Disposal Pretty poor

 

[dewah07]

running on empty at the end of terms

 

[dct66]

No mention of Paddy, Lee playing forward!

 

[Ian Dunross]

Pre season only I know caveat...

Does anyone have the word on Dunstan?

Just building up to things?

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Umps the other day said they would be enforcing deliberate oob more this season, after letting too many go last season.
I don't agree with them .

 

[Curious George]

Coughlan really needs to get into the weight room

Its his first preseason! And the young guys don't even do everything. Give him a break

 

[sainterryan]

Paddy not sited that quarter. Sinclair quiet. Gresham amazing!

 

[Ian Dunross]

Savage has big gaps between his best and his worst

Would love him to take the next step to becoming consistent and a leader.

[PerfectFooty]

Doing well. Lots more norf supporters here at the ground unfortunately

 

[sonnywalters]

Its his first preseason! And the young guys don't even do everything. Give him a break

I dont think it was a criticism just an observation that he is a first year player.

 

[Curious George]

No mention of Paddy, Lee playing forward!

Theres like 9 or so on the bench. Take is there rotating and giving guys decent time in a spot, rather than always moving them.

 

[DarkSaint]

Half time wrap:
Ross in fire in that quarter
Billings all class
Saunders getting amongst it but disposal iffy
Eli doing good
Paddy off the field since the halfway of the first quarter
Dunstan not getting amongst it
Pressure looks good
Disposal off the half back terrible
Umpiring pretty average both side
Savage getting heaps
Webster good one on one
Coughlan needs some supplements in him
Gresh got some zip
Acres impressive

 

[Sir Skid]

If we stop gifting goals we could win this.
Incredible with who is out.

 

[Winners Only]

Paddy must be injured or crook?

Good effort but the same dumb disposal skills killing us. Is there one player on the Saints list that can kick the ball to the benfit of a leading forward I dont think there is. We were very poor at this last year and nothing has changed. Otherwise we leveled up the clearances in that 1/4 as North killed us in the 1st.

 

[The Jack Pack]

Paddy's done for the day.

 

[YEAHFootball]

* Paddy done a hammy

 

[Superduperouzel]

Skills particularly kicking a bit rusty but understandable. Pressure and tackling has been terrific. Ross, Lee, Savage, Gresham have impressed. Billings showing why he is so dangerous. He only needs a handful of possession s. Would like to see Acres get into a bit more.

 

[DarkSaint]

Paddy tweaked a hammy according to rich

 

[Smoke_Me_AKipper]

Paddy with a hammy so they're not going to risk him anymore in thisgame.

Hope its not too serious...

 

[NLC78]

Paddy done hamstring
