Analysis Good, Bad, and Frustrating vs Sainters

[Rankine2Rachele]

Always good to get another win on the board; but our kicking for goal makes you want to tear your hair out some times.

 

[TRP1996]

It was really only in the 3rd that our goalkicking was terrible.

 

[jaytex]

There was a lot to love in this game...

Himmelberg just keeps presenting.

Murphy's second and third and fourth and fifth efforts.

Poholke surprisingly strong in a contest.

Keath was everything, everywhere.

Windscreens looks angry. I farking love it. Big angry mongrel ruck with repeat efforts and the ability to clunk 'em.

Tex being the best version of himself.

Smithers damaging as hell.

Ratkins. Clean and hard all day.

Yes I tipped us by 48 but very, very happy with this win.

The Outstanding: Don Pyke.

Twice in two weeks he's gone down to the bench and taken control.

How much better do we look with ROB and Berg instead of Sauce and JJ??!!

Happy to bank the win. 3:3 season back on track. Back in the 8.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Amazing what happens when you..

Take the game on
Play the kids
Play a young vibrant ruckman
Be flexible as a coach
Get the ball in to the forwards and give them a chance

 

[CH Jazz]

Good: seeing one of the most appalling cases of bathwater drinking come crashing back to earth.

 

[Sanders]

Lot of positives

Brad
Keath
Tex
Rob
EH
Knight

 

[Cromulent]

We back boys. Everyone played their role. Great pressure all around the ground.

[Kenneth Tron]

O’Brien outstanding. Smith makes us so much better. Midfield all played well. Defence good aside from the usual 2-3 goals they gift through woeful skill.

[Danger in Texas]

ROB was absolutely huge. Had mongrel, was clunking marks consistently unlike 2018/19 Jacobs, had a smart touch in the ruck, and was following up his taps with second and third efforts.

Granted, he was facing a spud in Longer, but if he shows that most weeks he has a future

St Kilda are a solid side this year, I reckon that’s a good win. Can’t fault a whole heap of our players. Walker, Keath, Smith, Laird, Brouch, Atkins instrumental

 

[Sanders]

Quiet overall but I liked what I saw in glimpses from Poholke

First time I’ve seen a player in him

I was never convinced by Keath and Poholke originally, so it’s nice to be wrong about a couple of guys the right way

Keath looks a star. He’s not a good 1 on 1 player, love how he’s been reinvented in that tall intercept role

 

[Sanders]

Been a long time since Sauce played like RoB did today

 

[FAITH]

amazing what happens when Pyke gets out of the box and away from all his 'assistants'

 

[TRP1996]

Keath, Tex, Murph, ROB, Buergers, Smith, Brouch all good.

Not that much bad outside the first quarter, TBH.

Usual offenders down back. Not putting clearance dominance on the board in the third + some bad misses. Eddie quiet.

Gooch didn't set the world on fire, but that's to be expected given it's his first match back and didn't play at all last week.

 

[SydCrow]

Berg instead of Jenkins a massive plus for Tex and the team. Keath and Talia all over them. Sloane a super last three quarters.

 

[Danger in Texas]

And pleeeeeease keep Himmelberg in the side. Not only is he presenting as a KPF and clunking marks, but he’s actually giving us something in the ruck, unlike what JJ has given us there most of the time. Opens up space for Tex to dominate, too

the rest

You mean the first half of the 1st quarter.......

 

[Bonkers000]

Who knew dropping poor performing players for fresh enthusiastic players would get results....? amazing.

 

[Redleg Crow]

GOOD:
The Crouches. Feasted
ROB and Berg We missed absolutely nothing without Jacobs and JJ.
Tex - played like a big forward.
Laird, Keath and Smithers - excellent defence
Atkins second half was good
All round good effort.

BAD:
Hartigan was costly at times.
Poholke needed to do a bit more to keep his spot. Think you have to pout Gooch above him
Knight and Macaky were not good early. Thik they improved, but the door is open for others...

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Our clearances were immense at times today. Completely doninated large stretches and controlled the game as a result.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Also GOOD:
Pyke on the bench. STAY THERE!!!!!

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good: seeing one of the most appalling cases of bathwater drinking come crashing back to earth.

Cue the bath water drinking from the Adelaide board.

 

[pjcrows]

Pyke. Clarke. Thomas.
Coach from the bench.
Offload the rest on early annual leave.
