Autopsy vs St Kilda // Rd 16, 2019

[Shagga is all Class]

Larkey is so impressive. Good on the ground too.

Rising Star this week for sure

2 weeks in a row, he took a contested mark in the goal square. Drew with ground skills.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Thought we were going to capitulate in the second term, but we fought it out.

Not one to dwell too long on.

Fantastic games by Z and Souva.

 

[The acurate one]

Anyone else reckon he rested the starting midfield a hell of a lot today?

Yep and I think he managed the result very well, we caught them flat footed in the first, the second and third and credit where it's due, the Saints threw some punches.

The Saints had nothing left in the last, a very well coached game and nicely executed by the troops.

 

[Dirty_11]

Dominated early, challenged by the Saints in the second, responded late in the second and played tempo footy for the remainder of the game. Tarrant to Bruce early in second would habe saved us 2-3 goals IMO. Solid win. Simpkin massive, Larkey and Zurhaar really good.

Also, can we have the JZ ball gather and bump into GIF form please.

It was circle work garbage in that last quarter.

If you believe the rumours they may be teammates next year

I had not heard that Marshall was coming to North. ha ha

 

[Reagan Smash]

Happy with the win, but we looked lethargic.
Maybe from the bruising past couple of weeks

 

[Dirty_11]

How many times has he been fined this season? He'd almost be at the threshold of a one game suspension if he cops another one for the swinging arm today.

It doesn't work like that anymore, it is done case by case. This will be his 4th for the year, he already has $8k in fines this year.

It doesn't? Ok, I didn't know that. Thanks.

St Kilda were far better and tougher opposition than Collingwood. They laid 90 tackles and had a ton of one percenters. Credit to them - they worked very hard.

Our efficiency inside 50 - 32 shots from 57 entries at 57% - was way better than it has been the last five weeks even though we've been winning. Sides can push numbers up to the contest but know they'll pay the price.

Turner's kick inside 50 to Zurhaar was great but he didn't look to be moving 100%. LDU and Thomas both looked fatigued for the first time.

Saints brought immense pressure today. This is the type of game under BS that we would have collapsed under that pressure and easily lost

But we won. We are a much better team under Shaw

Thank God that St Kilda kicked the last point, had multi's with a winner at Pakenham races, North 1-39 and will be even better if GWS get up.

Giants are cooked mate

 

[Passmore]

Bit of a dispute at my place. I reckon Goldy was just ok today, probably beaten or just break even. Notice some folk giving him votes and cannot believe it. Best three? Not best six for mine. But some family do not agree. Not saying bad game, just ok.

I thought he was absolutely dominant for the first quarter and a bit. Then it was pretty even.

 

[kangaspurs]

Outstanding first quarter, and then did what we needed to do for the rest of the match.

Simpkin clear BOG. Zurhaar, Larkey and Tarrant all excellent too.

Ziebell and Dumont really important contributors. Cunners good despite the heavy tag. Ahern solid on his return too. Pretty good team effort all around.

 

[LB2Snake]

One of the best things about today is not having them cross to the box and we see this:

 

[Rod Stroker]

That Ahern kick to Brown at the top of the goal square in the 3rd was elite.

Do we reckon Ahern did enough to keep his spot? Wasn't great.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Do we reckon Ahern did enough to keep his spot? Wasn't great.

Who replaces him though?

 

[giantroo]

The best

 

[LB2Snake]

Depends who's taking his spot. Is higgo ready?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He was clean in some stoppages.

 

[year of the roo]

He said he's 2 weeks away.

 

[Hojuman]

Higgo said he is still 2 weeks away.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Amazing game from Jack Steele today (definitely on of my favorite non North players)

18 tackles = equal 2nd highest of a (recorded) time.

 

[LB2Snake]

He said he's 2 weeks away.

Higgo said he is still 2 weeks away.

The Pauly stays for mine. He's super clean with the ball. LDU might be the one rested next week, or possibly the week after, for Higgo.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Who replaces him though?

Yeah he's probably there by default, as a mid. Unless they want to replace him to bring in a different positional player?

He's probably the one to make way anyway though for Higgo in a couple of weeks. Unless they decide to give a kid like LDU a rest.
