Toast Opening Round = St Kilda 66-78 Collingwood

[TradeDraft]

Oh, and each of the four yellow maggots can get a big black wooly dog up 'em.

Should all be Sacked after tonight

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Watching Ross’ press conference is amazing. The bloke is a loser, suits the saints

 

[riddick78]

Thoughts and prayers to TDK and Silvagni from going from one sh!t club to another.





Nah!!!

 

[Go Woods]

Corne is very deflated. Icing on the cake is he criticised Perryman saying he needed to “step up” from last year (5th is the B&F wtf lol)

He's got NFI!
Clearly just dispises us.

 

[AmericanMustard]

The Silvagni karma

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Thought Parker was solid if not sparkling, but he looks very at home in defence and is not over-awed by any opposition.

 

[eyeroller]

Biggest ever crowd St Kilda have played in front of, and their players were overwhelmed by the occasion. For Collingwood, it was just another day at the office given 80k blockbuster crowds are the norm.

Rookie numbers for us

 

[granniewolf]

Words can't express how much I love these guys.

Well done, so proud of you.

Oh I’m gonna enjoy Fireball tommorow

 

[parano1a]

Maynard and Quaynor were immense in holding the defence together in the last quarter. Pendlebury and N Daicos, pure class.

Waffles on about nothing like my Mum.

He made one bad error but you wouldn't question him getting picked next week. He plays with tenacity and gives the impression he is in with a good chance of winning contests.

 

[Vicky Park]

The younger fringe players were all quite ordinary: Allan, Parker, Roan, Buller. Players on the outside can challenge these for selection. Will be looking for more from them.

I thought Parker did ok. Not great, but more than serviceable. Had more impact and involvement than Allan.

Yeah thought it was a pretty poor presser
Lacked grace and understanding
Here’s to another 60 years

 

[HFF]

The only issue I have with our forwards is Membrey looks really slow below his knees and when he has the ball in live play to quick hands give.
Needs to fix this part up as he left too many on the table we could have walked into goals had been able to find the first dish clean

 

[TradeDraft]

Good to see us Beat the overrated Aints and the Scumps

Though we where lucky Saints Finishing in Front of Goal was terrible

Our Backline stood up better then I thought

Midfield was Beaten as Saints had more of the Ball then we did

Forward line needs to play better even with not much and poor Ball Entry. Elliot/McStay/Membery/Buller did not have a Huge Impact

Daicos boys were Massive for us.

Houston got lot of the Ball had some really good kicks but also missed some easy targets

Beau was Huge early in 3rd Qtr

That was lot better then last year Round 0 and good we Won tonight as I doubt we beat the Crows

 

[3rdMan]

Opening round you take a win however it happens. Goes double for playing agains a Ross Lyon coached side. Will look for more fluidity in coming weeks.

 

[swoop42]

St Kilda honoured the 66 Premiership well tonight by scoring 66pts.

A pity for them we celebrated 1978 and the birth of Rachel McAdams.

Odd decision by us, but hey, it worked a treat.

 

[LuckyLee]

Great win! Houston, DeGoey, Perryman, IQ, Schultz, Maynard, McCreery, Pendles, Cameron and The Daicai all stand-outs for us.

I do worry about how many games we can realistically win with a key forward trio of McStay, Membrey and Buller collectively kicking one goal, as they did tonight.

But that’s a concern for later. Tonight, let’s celebrate a great win!

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Pendles’ stats for 55% TOG are ridiculous.
26, 11 contested at 81% efficiency. 4 tackles. 10 score involvements and 5 goal assists.
55% TOG!!!!

According to Ross the Boss, Pendlebury had no impact.
As a coach if he can’t see his impact, he is on a hiding to nowhere.
Maybe I should’nt be surprised by his presser comments!

 

[901023]

Yes, you should definitely ignore the fact that St Kilda have one of the better aerial defences in the league.

So you're happy with 1 goal between 3 key forwards?

5 score involvements in a 2 goal game is no impact!!!

 

[JLC]

Amazing result with basically zero from our tall forwards.

Rate Buller highly but wow he was terrible. Just jogged around and no second efforts. Couldn't play a worse game if he tried.

Long I thought was ok - better and quicker with his decision making

IQ was superb, Naicos, Jaicos and Shooter all good. Pendles also super creative. De Goey also great.

Umpiring was borderline pathetic.

its one game. You’d be the first on here bagging the club for a loss. I think we can wait more than 1 game to judge

He did completely take Higgins out of the game. He did really well. We need a defender who can lock down on smalls
