Eagles v Saints

[freo1]

are the eagles really that bad or the saints that good?

 

[omit]

little from column A and a little from column B

 

[Cuzz09]

Both!!

StKilda are NOT That good!! Will NOT win the flag.
Eagles are sh*t anywhere other then Subi (at this stage of their development)

 

[chelseacarlton]

Mostly collumn B i would suggest

 

[EagleMan87]

The fact that Zac Dawson actually kicked a goal should answer that

 

[Cuzz09]

Geelong would PUMP StKilda any day in 2009. Nothing against the saints but they arent premiership contenders at all..

We are pretty rubbish.

 

[chop_me]

little from column A and a little from column B

from watching the game... its more like LOTS from column A and a little from column B

 

[Brewster_]

little from column A and a little from column B

Exactly.

Whilst we can be woeful, the Saints are pretty good. They'll be interesting to watch this year.

Nothing new really, St Kilda always bully the weaker sides. West Coast are back to where they were in 2002, Good at home, rubbish away.

 

[freo1]

maybe we'll know a little better when freo play the saints there next week?

Should I listen to a sore loser or someone like Neil Craig?

No offence, I'll go with Neil's opinion.

 

[Juddy88]

Also shows how terrible Port are.

Like Sydney & Adelaide?

The only difference today was Goddard firing up the forward line early. Other than our forward efficiency and lack of scoreboard pressure, we dominated both those games too for large periods.

Actually, if you'd been watching us the past couple of seasons, you'd know there's a big difference between how we have played the first 3 games this year and the past 2 seasons.

Using your logic I guess Geelong would beat your mob by about 500pts

 

[Lach72]

Saints did everthing you could ask, except for Reiwoldt kicking straight.

Pressure, good disposal, hard running.

Also the Eagles played badly, but the Saints made them for the most part

i really hope they are that terrible

Disagree strongly with that. They were relentless in their pressure on the ball carrier today.

 

[red+black]

What's the reason for the second Saints v Eagles thread?

 

[Karbo]

Like Sydney & Adelaide?

No, the weaker sides. 100 point wins at the dome are nothing new when St Kilda play a bottom 4 side. Happens every year, next weeks margin will be 100+ points.

 

[Blues_Man]

weagles should get enough home games to save them from the spoon ..enough said.

 

[Goosecat]

A bit of both.

The Eagles are where most people knew they were. This was the points spread margin in our work tipping comp and I tipped Saints by 60, unfortunately not enough. I must admit to being a little concerned about the developing midfield. I know they are developing but I've seen us go through this before and there was always a standout or two you knew would become " elite". A kemp or Matera. A Cousins, Kerr or Judd. I don't see one single stand-out elite in the making in the group. There is some potential there but no absolute stand-out. They need to try and find one next draft.

St Kilda have finally come together under Lyons and look really good. Gardner coming good and allowing Kosi to play permanent forward where he can take marks and hurt on the board without going into the ruck and breaking down is a godsend. They have had a strong midfield for some time and that hasn't diminished any.

I think they now have the ability to give it a genuine shake.

Saints looked Awesome Today

They will be definantly Top 4 material if they keep it Up.
