You may be right, but if Conellen can kick a goal and still lay tackles he's doing more than Mav. Don't think we've got much to loose by trying a new small forward while Long is still out.

Why aren't they posting VFL highlights vids on the Saints site anymore?
No point posting a 3.6 second video...

Fair enough, wouldn't have minded seeing a clip of Patton getting 14 tackles last week though.

Freeza 29 disposals, 7 marks, 5 tackles, 4 R50s and a goal.

Looking at the stats from this game (thanks again Grimlock), it's pretty apparent that a huge issue at Sandy is the Sandy listed players. A game like this doesn't necessarily say our depth is terrible. Football is very much a team sport and you can see by those stats that we had about 10 passengers in the side, most of which were Sandy listed players.
...Having said that it does highlight that Richmond's depth is outstanding.

Seccull still racking up possessions. Is he worth a rookie spot? Brodie Mihocek seems to ave handled the step up well.
Fact is Sandy is a rubbish team at the moment and don’t work nearly hard enough as they should off the ball. Their pressure is non existent.
In saying that, Richmond 2’s are outstanding and would beat not only our AFL side but Carlton, GC and potentially a few others.

Nice to see Clavarino getting a bit of the ball, suppose being a back man in a game like that, it had to come. At least he would have been exposed/opposed to some decent play making around himself, which hopefully holds him in good stead for the future.
Come on. They look a very good VFL side, bit our AFL side would still thrash them.

Those stats always confuse me, why is Acres 4th best but Joyce 3rd
Joyce obviously had 50 spoils because his stats are very underwhelming. 12 Disposals 0 tackles and 2 marks yet named in the best.

Must have done well, Clav 2nd best as well. Having not seen much of the match I though the guy winning contested ball in the middle and sending it inside 50 nine times would be higher than a defender playing a negating role. That's just me though.
Can't see A. Guy on the stats posted above, must of done a really good job on him to keep him stat less.
I retract my statement 3rd best clearly deserved.

Sometimes a negating player deserve all the accolades they can get. Back a 100 or so years ago(well it feels like that) I had to play a negating/tagging game on an oppositions better player. I know that I held him to only 3 kicks for the game
Unfortunately those 3 kicks turned into goalsI was left spewing my ring out after the game, couldn’t even stop for a beer. Just bloody ran myself into the ground. So getting back to the chase, reckon a lot of these guys, who do all the hard and dirty work and defend against better players than I ever did, deserve to be recognised.

Depends who he played on I guess. The team lost by 11 goals, so guess he held his man quiet despite what was happening around him.
He was reading it well and marking the ball. Surely gets a game over Gilbert this week.
Gilbo will play the year out and you know it. Mav, Newnesy and Dmac all trained shhtrongly and look to hold their spots. Alsho, Wrighty performed really positively for the Zebs which was pleasing so we’ll see how he pulls up and trains, but I’d think he’s a good chance to play also.
Freezer? Yeah nah, he’s probably still a few weeks off his best footy. We’ll look at him next week or the one after.
Why play the kids now?
Go Saints

Good signs. I saw him a while back and he was no where near it.
