Autopsy Round 12 - St Kilda defeats Melbourne

[stfan]

Boxshall does some really nice things.

Clearly Ross has a plan but 49% game time frustrates me.

Love how hard he is at it.

Please don’t drop him after the bye.

Macrae may be available.

reminds me of S.Pendlebury in the way he moves, assesses and has a tough edge. Brings a real point of difference between the arcs for us!

 

[aussierulesrules]

Nas be like

 

[Joffaboy]

I can't remember him making any obvious errors today. The last 2 weekds had him looking cooked. I thought he seemed full of energy and effort today. He's never been my favourite style of player but ewe he plays like that he's super important. So many kicks out of defence stay in our hands because of his extraordinary work rate.

Maybe I look for them too much nowadays, has always been a great runner and always presents. Looks terrible when we are getting well beaten but when we are winning the contest, his outside run is important.
As for not favourite type, fair enough, my favourite type is a Hunter Clark type who has skills but gets his own ball in and under.

 

[Ads734]

For all the crap our recruiting gets. The pick has absolutely launched us.

People may argue but he’s Definetly third imo to Darcy and Daicos arguably better then Darcy

 

[The Slug]

Nice to see more of what we are capable of. Ball movement much better. The big ground suited. All round great team performance.

bump and one handed pick up was a thing of beauty. Highlight of the day.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Caminiti really settling into the key back role, a little under the radar, but todays game:

17 disposals (14k, 3h), 94% disposal efficiency, 8 marks, 100% TOG. Slowly building into the role in his 2nd season as a 21 year old.

Reminiscent of when we decided Battle was a key defender and stopped mixing him up from forward, back, forward, back. Hopefully he has a similar trajectory!

 

[The Cobra]

Its a bit hard to choose right now.
Carroll and Boxhall both need to get more of the ball, but both did some really impressive and kind of unique things.
Both had 9 pressure acts.
Then we have Garcia who used pure grunt to absolutely dominate the midfield against Frankston yesterday.

With Higgins, Max Hall, and Butler playing like he was today, Henry has some work to do.

My Carlton mate was genuinely surprised they let Carroll go.

Hugo is interesting- clearly too good for VFL - just needs to contribute more consistently with the big boys - just more experience and another pre season I think.

 

[Joffaboy]

Just landed in Dubai and saw we had a win. (Typical when I leave the country!)

Can someone tell me how my boy Boxshall went?
Wilkie and Butler seem to have had a day out and 3 goals to Keeler.
Mini summary would be appreciated

Here is my mini summary.

The umpires are cheats

The end

 

[Spider Eater]

No Billings no Melbourne.

He is a very good comparison. Did someone say "basketball background"??

Hundred per cent , he’s becoming super important. Really allows Wilkie to drop off. I always thinks it takes our defensive group some time to organise themselves. He’s definitely gaining confidence with his marking.

 

[NasiahToKing]

I heard he is catching the same Uber home

And when he gets home…

 

[Heavensent]

Terrible commentary hope Jordan Lewis gives himself an upper cut.

Windy Wilkie, Naz both super awesome.

Owens and Clark crucial

Stoaked for Keels. Amazing what some confidence can do. He looks completely difference and all the reason for patience for our youngsters. All it takes is one game for some confidence. Also unfortunately Sandy form is not indicative of how they’ll go at AFL level.

Really sad about Pou. Hope he’s ok.

Thought Cama had another ripper. Just leave him there for the next two years and I guarantee he’ll be knocking on All Aus.

Higgins did a lot even though he didn’t kick many. Same as coops.

Fingers crossed for Pou

Bring in the Vike.

Lastly, I was disappointed no one backed up Hugh in his little stouch and also when Johnson hit Naz. Really should have flown the flag imo.

When I saw Dwayne Russel, Lewis and Healey were commentating our game on Fox I switched straight over to 7. More than happy to sit through the commercials so I didn’t have to listen to those muppets.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Really a big game from Windhager , yes he did keep Pickett quiet but he had 28 disposals which a to me one of the best 3 on the ground , Nas and Wilkie being the other 2.

That's just disposals.
He was also equal second for clearances ( Gawn was first ), 3rd on the ground for metres gained, ( behind Nas and Hill ).
equal second for inside 50s. Got 3 free kicks without giving any away, won the most centre clearances in the game. Had the third most contested possessions behind Gawn and Petracca.

 

[gringo2011]

I think Snags

Coaches don't often rate the guys who kick all the goals as much as fans do.

That’s the Windy we know is in there. I really believe giving him a job brings out his best. Not a “tagger” so much, but remember how Steele came along early days in the same manner?

King, Keeler and Sharman as our marking forwards has a nice ring to it as well.

I’m going to enjoy the bye weekend though. It’s flipping exhausting following us week in week out!! Ha!

 

[Teflon]

Hill was excellent today. Wound back the clock.

Hill was ok after a few usual howlers and direct turn overs
Clark was excellent

 

[Hayes4PM]

Nas be like

"So... what you wan' do?"

I really liked his game today he’s tough at it and does some smart things gets to the right places will be a player

 

[St Neil]

Everyone should rightly asked but I genuinely believe its either Port or us no ITK just a general feel

The Crows would surely be a more attractive destination than PA.

Having said that I’d be surprised if NWM doesn’t sign a long term deal with Saints

Wilkie seemed to have about 30 marks. Overshadowed Hammer with his heroics but he was really good again.

 

[Kennedy84]

Keeler & Sharman

NWM may well be the best player in the AFL? Argue all you like. The man’s a freak.

AND HE WILL GET BETTER. Sign him up ffs.

Unfortunately, I think he's after one thing we cannot provide, home.
