Autopsy Round 4, 2020: St.Kilda v Richmond *MADDIE'S MATCH*

[malevu]

I wanted three things this week.
1. Battle in.
2. Marshall back to being our no.1 big man.
3. Saints to win.

Happy camper here.

 

[Saint12]

So many kicks from the goals square as well

Josh bruce cringes

 

[gringo2011]

Yeah he is a gem that Marshall lad. I assume he is related to that Marshall from Port who starred against The Eagles this arvo

I don't think so. The Port one will be a pretty special player too.

 

[Plugger35]

I can't speak highly enough of our defence, especially Wilkie, Carlisle and Long, they saved our arses so many times.

People calling for Jake to be dropped are looking silly now, he was immense down back.

Roma and Battle were great as well, those two guys along with Max King are the sort of guys we can build a team around.

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

As I said just before don’t make changes because of a week or two.

true, ross played a cracker

but honestly he was trash again, maybe 1 out of his 16 disposals was ok. He did a good tap at one point. Thoughts?

Woo hoooo!!!
Whole family pumped with footy pizzas and singing the song at the end of the match!!!
Go saints!

He did an outstanding job on Martin.

Brilliant win and the club pulled the right strings with changing Ryder with Kent.

The entire team were great today. The belief and confidence to keep taking it on from HB is a credit to Ratts and the group.

I loved seeing Marsh & Battle forward they take the heat off Membrey and King. In Marsh we have found a more energetic CHF then Bruce.

Butler is on All Australian form line if he keeps playing the way he is.
Hill was damaging with his run his is a freak.
Jones is a energy bunny and finds space.
Steele probably played his best game without being a tagger.
Kent was actually really good and sets up a lot of play.
The back 6 apart from a couple of brain fades were fantastic.
Ross did a decent job on Martin, I just wished he would the tackle at times.
Marshall is better suited to be the No 1 ruckman.

Only downer was Gresham he was really out of it today. Then he suffered that horrific eye injury - doubt he backs up next week.

Plus it was great to have my man Battle back, he just brings attitude and skill to the team.

Another who gets abad rap is Lonie, he's got a good footy IQ. A few times he knew to shepherd or pull up to allow forwards space. He's clever little player and does more than his stats show. One of Marshall's goals was because he just stopped the defender getting to him.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Is Buts leading our B&f and goal kicker at this point?

 

[gringo2011]

Yeah we are clearly getting shots from better parts of the ground

Bruce says hold my beer and kicks out on the full from 20 meters directly in front.

 

[gringo2011]

Is Buts leading our B&f and goal kicker at this point?

He would be easily at the moment.

How did you rate Dusty's game out of interest?

 

[ScrappyDo]

Him, Long and Marsh are like a hit squad of campaigners.

Bytel also is a solid campaigner..
Bring him in l say!

 

[bird_man]

Bring him in l say!

Well it is a development year so why not

 

[gringo2011]

I didn't expect to be this happy!!

This is what enjoying footy is like. I could get used to this.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

He did an outstanding job on Martin.

I'm not sure he was on Martin, hard to tell from the telly though and I wasn't really looking for it

 

[bird_man]

Well the commentators were at the game

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

How did you rate Dusty's game out of interest?

I dunno if he was on martin, and if he was then good work, doesn't excuse his consistently terrible disposal/decision making though

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

Well the commentators were at the game

I was watching with friends so wasn't listening too much to eddie sorry, but I'd be keen to see their time head to head.. there's an app for that or something yeah?

I'm on the poiz tonight as well! Victory tastes sweet! heck yeah boys that was a satisfying win

 

[PoppedCorn]

I saw wilkie on martin at one stage so he did have multiple opponents

 

[plugger66]

I saw wilkie on martin at one stage so he did have multiple opponents

Yes he did when forward. That’s called good coaching.

 

[gringo2011]

I just checked the stats. Billings had an underrated game in the end equal highest possession getter on he ground. I did notice him late but that's 4 more than Steele who I thought tore it up. Only Steele and Marshall got more fantasy points for us. He's looked good late but in the first half he seemed to be non existent. He must have had some second half.

 

[gringo2011]

When he rested forward maybe. he was on him in the midfield.
