Autopsy Round 2, 2024: St.Kilda v Collingwood *SPUD'S GAME* *ROSS 200TH* *BYRNES 50TH*

[Diehard Saint]

Yeah, yeah…so the players were awesome and the win was great, but….




….how about us fans?
The joint was bloody jumping!!
Best $100 000 the club has spent!

We got a VERY good ride from the umpires tonight. It’s a ******* rarity so I’m not gonna complain or draw attention but it felt truly bizarre.

Never seen us get that lucky before. Every 50/50 went our way. It was amazing.

He's not wrong to remember it though, that was the moment the momentum swung against us. Love Wilson, but that was a bit cute for a second gamer

Agree, but he’ll learn quickly

We would have absolutely cleaned up with 70k there.

500k+ I’m tipping.

Was it the first quarter where I think every single possession we got from the back 50 to us kicking a goal was a free kick?

For those playing at home,NAS never received a rising star nom. But chito and windy did.

The vibe was fantastic, loud, energetic and tribal. Like the old days.

Not sure Moose makes it. He can be the Josh Houlihan of the group.

Don't disagree, he's a long long way back but he's still only 21. Plus I couldn't resist the temptation not to include Goose and Moose in the same post.

 

[phantom13]

I know he was quiet but the Pou snap from 55 was ******* ridiculous. That’s PURE contact with a footy

 

[Plugger35]

It was windy desire to win every ball he could that stood out. He threw himself at everything

There was a passage of play in the 3rd quarter where both Windhager and Owens just threw themselves at Pies players tackling them.

It was like watching a couple of crocodiles devouring a couple of naive German tourists that went too close to the river, they were ferocious.

I actually think Pou being “outshone” by his peers will spur him on even more. He has the hunger, he will certainly get there.
Said it many times tonight, what an exciting core.

Imagine a super athletic Keeler fitting in somewhere in the future. Utter madness.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

I really want to enjoy the win but I feel like I’m enjoying the crying Collingwood supporters more… especially about the umpiring. It’s like they’ve forgotten the last two years worth of dick riding they’ve received from them.

They cut up rough at the game too. Made the win all that much sweeter!

And they all should have been paid

Wilson is going to be a gun too. It's crazy how good the youth look. I wish we'd kept Toce. He seemed to know what he was doing.

If we had won a flag 0-3 wouldn't concern me in the slightest.
In fact I would still be pissed since the previous September.

Nas, Chito, Windy, King, Higgins, Pou, Sharman, Henry, Byrnes, Stocker, Wilson - all aged <25. All contributed in their own ways. Some dominated, and some weren't as prolific. However, EVERYONE embraced and took their moment when it came. That's the sign of a young team on the up.

 

[Banger9798]

Ahh, cup of tea and watching the replay ...life doesn't get much better.

 

[mighty_sainters]

What was the split in fans tonight, any estimates? Would be unreal if we had 40k-45k there.

 

[Verdun66]

In all my tipping comps I went for the Saints by 15 points! Just got to get the next 7 right!

Seemed pretty even to me. Even in the members where I was there was plenty of saints fans, all getting up and about

out there tonight. He is a ferocious player and a point of difference. If he’s fit he’s best 22.

- Windy will spend the rest of the year in our first choice midfield I reckon. I think he’s just jumped the queue ahead of Crouch, Dow and Clark.

- Liam Henry is Shai Bolton

2.0. One of the cleanest crumbers I’ve seen and was involved in everything.

- Wood is a big loss. We don’t have many wingers in reserve who can do what he does.

- Owens went full beast mode tonight. He is a special asset. But I see a big role for Jack Hayes in this team.

- Nasiah was immense. And Sinclair will get a lot better. Possibly the best half back combo in the comp by season end.
