6 for Hugh

Didn't see the game but how was Seccull, I reckon he would be worth a look for a senior rookie spot. Seems to rack them up and came to vic with some big wraps.

In the first game at Sandringham, Haretaku and DeLisle cut us up something shocking.
This time, collectively, they had 14 possessions and scored 1 behind.
Our defence must have done something right.
Richo spoke about Hugh last night, said he had a good game and might be an option for Brown.
Given that, and disclosure: I didn’t see the Sandringham game, it may be a case of role asked and role played by Hugh.
At least he’s got the stats of Brown anyway.......

So hugh to Dixon??
Scary

Racks them up but doesn't hurt the opposition... Too vanilla.
Comes from a nice family.
Am I doing it right?

It was.
Hickey just kept running around the entire field kicking it to himself.
Remarkable performance.
... or continue to be picked anyway.

well it actually can be a coincidence.. and almost certainly is
That is how statistics work actually. he is only one of 22 players and in that context 4 games is far too small a sample to draw the conclusions you are drawing
he got smashed by Gawn. Smashed. We won despite that.

Exactly. We haven't won one game with Nick Coffield in the side and won 3 without him. Delist.

I think they had a bye, which is why he was named as an emergency.

For the Longer effect to be true you have to be able to prove that if Hickey had played in the 3 games we won that 3 losses would have been the result. That is not possible. Don't get me wrong, if Billy is a good luck charm, keep playing I say! It makes the coaches message easier to watch and I have even started watching all the football shows again!
Brut, I love your insights, and can't think of any opinion you have given that I disagree with, until now. I now expect to agree with your next 100 posts (as long as they don't mention Longer)

All aboard the Billy train!
Realistically, we need someone better than both of them but at least there is something else to debate in the meantime.

Sandringham Senior Coach and St Kilda Specialist Coach Aaron Hamill has his say on the Saints’ best performers in the VFL.
Tom Hickey 59 hit-outs, 18 kicks, 16 handballs, six marks, seven tackles
Tommy had 7 clearances himself. It was his presence on the deck and in the air – he took five contested marks – so he had certainly influenced the game from a stoppage point of view, and he was able to support his defence, which was the most pleasing part of his game.
Nathan Wright (3.0) 12 kicks, four handballs, four marks, six tackles
Wrighty was really good in terms of his role with elite frontline pressure, and he showed his ability to reset and get back in and provide a really good contest at ground level. He was excellent on the back of our talls bringing the ball to ground, and he was able to convert his work.
Josh Bruce (3.1) Eight kicks, eight handballs, seven marks, two tackles
Brucey competed really well in the air for us to either win or halve the contest. Port only marked it twice in our forward 50m, which has been a bit of an Achilles Heel for us. Stemming from Brucey’s contest work, we were able to lay 28 front-half tackles, so that goes hand-in-hand with Josh’s work in the air.
Logan Austin Eight kicks, nine handballs, four marks
Logan was one of our best. Some of his positioning on Jordan Lisle, who’s their best forward, was really good, and he probably played one of his better games that I’ve seen him play. He used his man as a starting point and then went to work, and he’s developing really well. The form that he’s in now after that game will hold him in good stead.
Rowan Marshall (1.1) 13 kicks, 10 handballs, nine marks, eight tackles
Rowan’s ability to win or halve the contest was very impressive and gave our smalls some ball to go to work on. He played his part, and he’s certainly in the mix after another very good game as a forward for us.
Sam Gilbert 14 kicks, four handballs, six marks, four tackles
Gilbo is a ripper. You know what you’re going to get when you’re driving to the game – you know that from a defensive point of view, Gilbo’s going to hold you up really well and keep that stability there. To have him there is really good for the younger blokes to lean on and learn from, and I know they really enjoy playing with Gilbo.
Darren Minchington (2.0) 16 kicks, 9 handballs, one mark, five tackles
Meaty certainly stands out at VFL level. Some of the taps he was able to get from Tom obviously helped, but you’ve still got to have the ability to create the space and then use it, and he was quite damaging around stoppage. I still think Minchington can be a consistent AFL performer, he just needs consistency with his body and hopefully now he can get a good run at it.
Jack Lonie (2.1) 11 kicks, eight handballs, two marks, eight tackles
Jack’s effort and his attitude were first class, with a heap of grunt, tackles and speedwork, and his positioning around stoppage was very good. Some of his frontline positioning was as good as you’ll see from a small forward, sort of Stephen Milne stuff, and I think Jack at his best can certainly add value to the AFL program.
Nathan Freeman 10 kicks, 10 handballs, four marks, five tackles
It’s just good to see Freeza get a bit of continuity. He took two contested marks and he was pretty clever in his positioning, but his ability to read the cues and get back and support was really good. He’s improving, there’s no doubt about that, and we think he can go, so who knows what the back of the season will hold for him.
Ed Phillips (1.0) Nine kicks, 11 handballs, three marks, five tackles
Ed played wing all day, basically doing what he was doing at AFL level in terms of running the lanes for us and getting back. He’d be the first to admit that he let himself down against Williamstown, so for him to respond like that was pleasing. If he keeps absorbing information and learning, it’ll hold him in good stead.
Tom Hickey 59 hit-outs, 18 kicks, 16 handballs, six marks, seven tackles

When he came to vic a friend who is a bit of a draft and trade know it all said he was a good player and to keep an eye on him. Apparently was too good for SANFL and a draft prospect. Seems to get good numbers but I have literally only watched a couple of part games this year and haven't seen enough to rate him at all.
