Autopsy Round 12 - St Kilda defeats Melbourne

[Hubnester]

Amended first post to include Hubs write up.

My post remains as why the frig not, that roll over function is hilarious.

My attempt that I was in the process of writing had "Dees CBF going to Darwin this time and gave up halfway" so must say, this was far more polite than mine so well done people.

On the game.

GAGF umps.
Well done lads.
EAD Dees, snipe more.

Thought I'd try rolling over some posts over into the Autopsy since I was a little bit late. I learned my lesson haha, apologies for the mess.

Melbourne have been playing in Alice for 8 years now. We looked like we had supporters there. We should go all in on being the indigenous club of the afl

Hunters tackle in the first term.
Hunters bump in the third (incorrectly given as a free kick).
Owens bump in the last.

Froth.

Were my eyes blurry or did i see Hunter flex those spaghetti arms and do a fend off coming out of the back line right near the end, leaving his opponent sprawling behind him?

There might have been a few who had no love for Melbourne, but had heard of Brad Hill and Nas and decided to go for it.
Reckon Keeler may have made a few fans today too.

, both sounded devastated at the result.

Nice to see Keeler, Butler, Clark and Boxshall all getting some game time in and playing well.

Also will be nice to see Johnson get a solid 3 - 4 week ban. Dirty dee dawgz.

Reckon Keeler may have made a few fans today too.

Hill, Nas, Keeler and Windy all did a group photo with a group of local fans at the end of the game.

The thing is they were rapping them up in the opening with such delight. It’s hard to accept when you are pinged for stupidity.

 

[gringo2011]

Hill the only player who played today, who did NOT get a contested possession.
Even Pou got one.

Hill was excellent today. Wound back the clock.

 

[Saints4ever]

Wilkie an absolute brick wall in defense today. The great man just never gets beaten and intercepted like a champion.

Sinclair is just all class off half back and rarely wastes a possession. Nas gave great drive in the last qtr and was absolutely dominant.

Buttler did his job snagging 4 it was great to have the little goal sneak back.

Windy did an epic job on Pickett and really got under his skin and beat him going the other way also.

so hard at the contest all game and he really is a point of difference winning the hard ball.

What a great win and a little message to the umpires how about a little bit of consistency.

Go you mighty saints.

 

[sauce_head]

Great result. Aside from the second quarter when the umpires noticeably lifted it was all our day.

 

[SainterinSydney]

If I saw Nas, I'd give him a hug and start crying into his chest, "please, Nas, don't leave us!". This is not a joke.

 

[MightySaintas]

Nas is just a must keep.
Could be the best player in the comp soon.

 

[RBW_007]

I may be incorrect but in the 'Welcome to country' it sounded like there was an acknowledgement of the Saints supporters and then of the two teams but nothing for the Dees fans.

 

[Jade Buddha]

NWM clearly an it player now. Lots will come for him.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

 

[Diehard Saint]

Great team effort.

Amazing what happens when the seniors stand up - Wilks, Steele, Clark etc leading the way with a supporting cast of Nas, Windy and Owens,
and boy oh boy wowee ( thx Brian) we got some kids coming up -
Keeler, Camaniti, Trav, Box, Hall, Carroll.

Only negative was Pou. Poor kid can’t catch a break.

Oh, and NAS - give the kid whatever he wants.

( Hope that Dees sniper gets at least 2 weeks)

 

[marcus1232]

NWM clearly an it player now. Lots will come for him.

Everyone should rightly asked but I genuinely believe its either Port or us no ITK just a general feel

 

[SaintsSeptember]

 

[aussierulesrules]

Terrific bounceback to form, especially the electric first quarter!

Would be handy to be able to add Max, Macrae, Howard, Pou, Stocker, and fit/in form Henry and Wilson, to that team.

We saw today how much it helps having Butler/Clark types back, even if they aren’t “world-beaters”.

Pity our next four games are so difficult. Could play well and lose them all.

 

[Saints4ever]

Boxshall does some really nice things.

Clearly Ross has a plan but 49% game time frustrates me.

Love how hard he is at it.

Please don’t drop him after the bye.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Port are a basket case. He would be mad to go there.

 

[Barrels]

Adios, Melbourinos…

 

[SainterinSydney]

Also, Trav > Langford in that game

 

[JaysonD]

We might be crap, I don't know, but young developing sides are up and down. Patience.

 

[Saints TV]

That's the team we like to see
