Autopsy Steele - 200 ,

[Saintbloke]

Wilke is worth a million bucks, a champion

 

[Joffaboy]

3 in a row in the worst way possible.

Fans should not have heart attacks

There is no worst way to win a game, that is hilarious.

I agree with this Stav but he’ll learn.
I’m actually rather bullish on his ability and potential to make it down back.
No other reason than the eye test and the vibe.
Hopefully they persist with him like they have and aren’t tempted to swing him forward to cover injuries (would prefer Tauru for a spell)

More love for the box.

Stab that was seriously up there with the worst free kick I’ve seen all year and that is saying something. He tapped Lynch’s hip side on. And lynch went flying.

Sure, but he’s learning on the job, against seasoned guns of the game, who are usually stronger, and of late, taller.

He’s like an apprentice tradesman, who’s being given the most important jobs! (Last week Larkey, this week Lynch, etc).

He hasn’t even done a preseason down back.

Settle.

I’m a fan of him down back.

All I’ve said is that he needs some coaching on the actual art of pulling the fake contest/mark off so that a team mate can mark it.

 

[Saints TV]

That was a football game of all time.

 

[Joffaboy]

Maybe a few want to see us playing good footy and aren't seduced by limping home against shit opposition while we look ordinary.

Yes we played a good final quarter against the Dees, but were shit for 3 quarters before that.

Most neutrals would agree we were very ordinary today. It's ok for supporters to not be happy about that.

So Richmond had no say in it? Flooded all game. It was a poor game, Lyon said it was one of the top 5 worst he has been involved in, but we won, 3 in a row on Steele's 200th and people are crying.

It is the funniest thing I have read on here for a while.
There are some miserable bastards on here who are never happy

 

[ThomasR]

Is he ineligible due to VFL suspension?

yep he can still be nominated, just can't win it (not that he would have)

silver lining from the suspension is that he will have only played 10 games by the end of the year, so remains eligible for next year

well looking like an under 10s side while winning is a worse way

Other teams manage against Richmond

Lyon also said skills of both teams were terrible.

We were shit

If we had half a key forward (Owens) we win that game by 5+ goals.

Richmond were absolute giants at both ends.

 

[aussierulesrules]

I just want cooper to play with another bigger, better forward than him. Could kick 50 as a back up imo.

Once we’re no longer as young as we are now and are more competitive without having to play with a very defensive game-plan, life should become much much easier for him.

Especially if he does become the second or even third key marking target.

And having to do it as tough as he is right now will also build resilience and augur well for him when things are hopefully easier.

Maybe we could hit a free target inside 50.

 

[hoovinha]

Played terribly for the last 11 of the last 12 quarters.

But we still won and I love winning. We had a younger team than Richmond out there, learning to win when nothing is going right and your way is a valuable skill to learn and great for belief. The kids deserve reward for effort.

Smash the injectors next week....

 

[stfan]

Tauru is starting to give off real Tom Barass vibes. Already a handful, once his body fills in, he is going to be unplayable. If we can pair him with another intercept defender (Aleer, Caminiti?) get Howard back or ideally a replacement to go with the gorillas we could be looking real good down there.

yes Tauru had a huge first half in particular.

Plus 7 marks is his greatest haul yet. I am sure he will have man games with a lot more. He just knows how to time his leap beautiful to either mark or spoil.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Got smashed in contested ball ... and Tigers flooded back hard and showed a higher level of energy wh8ch we struggled with

Amazing that we found a way to win

 

[stavro#4]

Maybe we could hit a free target inside 50.

Maybe if we had another genuine forward and not a career third string ruck in Heath that people were claiming was the reason to rip up any deal with TDK a week ago.

We would have been just fine.

Yes our ball use is an issue. But they flooded back and that is what made us play slow. But how in the 1st and 4th quarter we scored at an okay rate and hit free targets.

Unfortunately you can’t play that way at this level for 4 quarters. You need useable big talls to clunk one themselves or bring it to ground.

 

[tomjoad]

Wow, what a victory. Just a huge moment for our club and supporters...the skills, the endeavour, the will to persevere, this is what makes you proud to believe in what is being done by Ross & co. These guys are just amazing, everything the players and coaches do is just a spectacle of joy. They can do no wrong. Our recent victories are proof that all is well at St.Kilda and nothing needs to change or be scrutinised at all.
So very proud.
(Am I doing it right Joff? )

 

[Simon Templar]

Most close games are exciting... Most but that was painful all the way to the final siren.

 

[EddieMurphy]

There was a 10 minute or so period 5 mins in the 1st quarter where we played pretty good footy. Otherwise a sad watch that doesn't inspire much hope for improving next year.

By doing it right you mean by proving my point? Has been a shit year and you lot can't even take a little joy in 3 wins on the trott.
I swear you people were happier when we lost 6 in a row.

You think every team will flood for four qtrs do you?

 

[Verdun66]

Collingwood getting stuffed out of sight. The Lions losing at home to the Swans. I think their supporters will be less than happy. Their boards will be an interesting read. Hopefully the heat on those teams this week.

They are up there and we aren’t. Granted. But we won. Wasn’t pretty. But I’ll take it.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

they flooded, we were too slow to go, it will be addressed during the week, it's not a common feature of our game... well not too common

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I’d like to
See rtb
Let Boris
End the season
Forus

 

[BrutThough]

Ugly game but I'd rather win then lose.

Wilkie is elite. Sinclair a few weeks back to his best after being in a slump. Nas being Nas.

Forward line is a mess. We need to stop bombing it in high when we have zero marking targets. Get King back and keep Marshall, we will be a completely different side next year.

Impressed with Boxshall's marking in the last quarter. Stood up in some big moments. Tauru is a wildcard at times but is coming along nicely. Will be a beast in a few years.

Boxshalls contested marking was a massive positive. He's going to be an exciting player to watch going forward.

Tauru was huge. How about that contest against Balta in the last quarter.
