Autopsy Round 8 | St Kilda vs Carlscum

[jwikked]

Voss basically saying he approved Dean's approach to football which resulted in Henry in the fence. Looking forward to your inevitable sacking, mate.

That is so dangerous, I'm not a fan of free kicks gifting goals - but that is absolutely a free goal at the very least.

Should be a reportable offense when it's as blatant as that.

I've been trying to tell this board Dougal is still a good player and nobody listens

Dougal Howard is just a GOP.













A good ordinary poster

Loved the comfortable win without some important players. Higgins, Ryan and Wilson are big losses. Down a rotation for half a game. Dare I say it, very pleasing result.

Great to see the ruck combo work. Look to be coached in this regard tonight as well. Owen’s and Sharman really benefited from having one of them up there more often. Also felt like our forwards had way more separation than usual, hopefully this continues.

Bassatt talking to Drew and Charlie Banfield in the background. Love it! Don't see him leaving the club anytime soon

Henry playing high half forward like that means more Max Hall around the ball as well

Looking forward to Hall getting back to his clean best after a flat spot

If Sharman could kick straight, Sharman would be top 5 forward in game

If Sharman could get passed to him like he passes to other StKilda forwards he would be a top 5 forward in the game.

Its not been an always thing, and i've been more concerned about Owens ( who was great tonight ).

14 goal assists for the year, more than anyone else in the comp.

 

[bergholt]

What's a pass mark on this? 3 wins?

2 out of 5 would be enough since the draw opens up after that but 3 out of 5 would give us serious expectations imo

I was keen on us finding some extra gears at half time. And boy, did they deliver. We weren’t that flash in the first half and they were actually playing well.

Relief all round I’m sure with that third quarter. When we get on a run we can really go. Such a good watch.

Impressed with Henry. Probably not completely match fit but he is class. I thought that sadly he might have been cooked. Be great if he can get a good run at it. Owens a fantastic game. He’s a real handful. Taking on Weitering earlier was impressive.

Sharman almost back to his best. Just a bit of inaccuracy but a big improvement the last two weeks. And the rucks in tandem did a great job. Really pleased to see the joy for TDK. Great team spirit.

Enjoy Sainters. Lovely beating those Blues.

I'm not putting shit on him. He has been playing very well. I just want him to convert those very gettable goals that he should be kicking.

His goal kicking has been frustrating this year. If he was kicking a little better, I reckon we'd have won an extra 2 games. Not his fault though.

Mitch Owens kicking from outside 50 is a thing of beauty. I noticed it last week I think, he seems to kick better from outside 50 than he does from 25 meters out. He's got "it", I think he really could be a top 20 player in the competition. He's strong, physical, and gets to good positions. Just his kicking lets him down a little bit.

Bed time, mate.

Put the plastic sheet down before you sleep.

Really , You need help

 

[hangdog]

we lost to West Coast last year.

We also lost to Carlton... That was more shameful

I know this is the post-win love in thread, but Jack Macrae with 64% TOG and 1 clearance, not great. Dunno if he's still hampered by injury or what, but for an inside mid that's not enough. Be interested to hear Ross' CSB stats, but even Windy that got moved into the middle had 3 centre clearances. Not sure he's best 22 these days with a healthy list. Hall, Garcia, Nas, Windy with the bulk of our clearances.

 

[botts]

Won it in the csb. Tonight

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Score involvements.

Sharman. 13
Nas 11
Owens 10
Florent 10
Cerra 10
Kemp 9
Hill 9
Garca 9
Ainsworth 9

 

[Joffaboy]

We look much better with him in the team, than out.
. Whatever I may think of him as a player personally, he makes the team much better.

Been saying that and keep getting shit for it.
He is a beautiful and accurate kick. He has taken the brain fades out.
Our backline looks as good as it has been since wechad Battle there with Wilks, JSOS and Doogs. We have Tauru in the wings as well.
LoC wasxa bit down but first game in the seniors so a pass and Stocks didn't have to do much.

Box was an absolute bull in the VFL. I would prefer him in over Macrae at the moment

Was it a plan or something, players like Flanders and Nas were quiet as hell first half, while the Blues run and spread started going off the charts. Then come back out and unleash them.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Jesus Jack Riewoldt is a nufty flog.

 

[jwikked]

I gotta give Wilkie his props.
I was harsh on him for the first month of the year. Yeah, I don't like the way he strongarmed for a bigger contract. I didn't like him being made captain after that.

He deserves the bigger contract, I still don't like it. He's playing really really well. And I'm kinda sad he got benched tonight lol, that's kind of a kick in the dick. 98% game time hurts bros

 

[Bill Crouse]

I agree. It is disappointing to see him miss the tough shots he used to nail, but at least he is getting involved a lot more than he used to. He has already had nearly as many goal assists this year as he did last year.

The first few weeks this year he couldn't mark like he used to, so hopefully the goalkicking will come back to him soon.

 

[Molly29]

Convinced that Liam Henry won't star at VFL level, he needs the big stage and he showed that tonight
