What...no Carlton again??!!

 

[Niximus]

Soft tackling from the Saints. GWS getting effective disposal in tackle after tackle.

 

[mistylake]

Wasn't that touched?

Edit : nope

 

[pjcrows]

Dylan Shiel is an interesting one. He started his career with elite skills and a good turn of speed. He appears to have really bulked up and looks a bit off the pace and his skills under pressure have been pretty average this year. Still a great player and might just be changing his game style.

It was indeed.

His chest is massive. Rugby player build up there. Might need to shed some kgs

Saints have no run, it's just kick it long and high and hope

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Getting tougher for the oldies?

Montagna, Riewoldt and Johnson all look like they're struggling tonight.

 

[mistylake]

Joe the goose.
Gobbled that one up.

 

[hippyhippy]

The saints tried to play high pressure football but they cant maintain it and gettibg killed on turnover. Just feels like they will get overrun in the 4th.

 

[Scorpus]

Jarryn Geary as a captain reminds me of Van Berlo as a captain

 

[mtbkym]

Views on Himmelbergs game?

 

[Vhaluus]

Holy shit the umpires are murdering GWS

 

[Niximus]

Got away with one there the Saints. Clear push.

 

[hey shorty]

Lazy side these Giants.

 

[AmericanCrow]

All square

 

[mistylake]

Would be good to get the brothers Himmelberg together at Adelaide.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

The umps are having a big say in this

 

[FR0GGY]

go saints

 

[hey shorty]

Come on. Does he ever run with the ball? Long, probing kicks? Get forward to provide F50 entries?

He's a good back pocket player but not an offensive weapon at all

Last year people here were saying he was TOO attack minded. Besides, as a defender your job is to defend

Jarryn Geary as a captain reminds me of Van Berlo as a captain

Let the poor man be retired in peace.....c'mon now.

Otherwise I will have to put forth a vigorous defense for the most underappreciated guy in team history

I'm not saying Van Berlo is bad, but they're the same sort of captain

Views on Himmelbergs game?

I agree with Sanders there is no way we are getting Himmelberg, no way you'd let talent like that go without a massive fight.

 

[AmericanCrow]

ouch...that was a killer

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Each time the Saints have chosen to switch the ball it's been an unmitigated disaster. GWS just shut the space down so quickly. Force them to kick to a contest.
