Autopsy Round 18, 2019: St.Kilda v Western Bulldogs *LANGLANDS DEBUT*

[Saint12]

Thank god we have Lonie back

Yeah I love his flopping...what a sh it way to play football.

 

[crasha301]

Can I just give a shoutout to Nath Brown? Has arguably been one of our best the last couple weeks. Kept Tomahawk to one junk time goal and Naughton goalless today. And had some massive plays in the final quarter when the bulldogs were pushing.

Needs more recognition for the effort he’s put into his games this season.

IIRC he's rated as one of the best defenders 1v1.. Rarely loses them.

Look at the change though.. hold & control the ball from the backline, then use the middle with pace. Run and run.. lowered the yes and created space between their backs.

Doggies didn’t play badly, that’s the best part. They were hard at the ball, a little sloppy at times, and kicked dead straight in the second half. We just played better. Played like a side that had been taught to win, not to ‘not lose’.

Bring Steven, Webster, Hannebery, Geary and Battle into the line up and we're looking good for the flag... Not getting ahead of myself ofcourse.

Today and when the other fill in coaches started shows that the state of the game is driven solely by coaches. Take the pressure off and sides can still score. I wish one coach would try that for the whole year. Unfortunately who is ever appointed in the 3 jobs will suddenly feel the pressure

Theres a saints party on the Dandenong train!

 

[St Kilda Death]

Read DE off half back was 87%
Scored 9 goals from plays from there, season ave 3.8
Better ball users everywhere, playing with confidence.

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

Coffield is growing every game too

 

[plugger66]

Same on the Uber line

Funny what happens when you're not asking those users to incessantly launch mortars into F50, eh?

'We just have a rubbish list', they said.

can we fit them all in? Who deserves a week off next week? Newnes maybe. Hines might have a break.

I hope every realizes our squad is far from average - a look today and you will see 4 of our best possession winners were Marshall , Billings , Hunter and Lonie.

 

[plugger66]

Jack back next week you would think. Be an interesting game against the dees. Marshall will have a big say in the game

How dare you go against the club party line.

Parker & Gresham playing deep forward worked a treat. A clear change from Richo. Lonie immense. Carlisle a rock at the back. Clark superb.

I wonder how much of it is to do with a dead cat bounce and how much of it is due to a change in gameplan. Anyway it was awesome to watch.

Ratten in with the boys singing the song in the rooms post-game was great to see.

 

[Premium]

If Nath Brown gets more possession than you , you will be in trouble to hold your spot - Brown 10 / Newnes 8

 

[GodSziller]

Carlisle’s best game for 12 months. Was huge today.

Find out over the next 5 weeks.

Wow, just saw ratts in thr middle for the song. The boys bloody love him by the look of it. Looks like the job is his to lose

 

[plugger66]

Haven’t looked at stats but Sinclair seemed disappointing again. Lost confidence. Safe though you would tgink

 

[SaintersUnite]

Don’t want to make too many changes after such a good display, but I’d have Steven and White in for Newnes and Paton. White was prolific in the VFL today with 31 touches, Paton is just unfortunate to miss.

The difference a week makes.

You lose structures, you lose cohesion and you just have people running on the spot hunting the ball and creating contest, you have last week and an inability to score outside of a couple instances where it looks OK and in the end you end up losing by a fair margin not firing much of a shot.

Then to come out and start this game as we did is night and day stuff.

Hunted instead of being hunted, running, supporting each other and structures holding despite rotations, despite random breaks because there's support.

Still weakness, still issues, still room for improvement, but a positive step in the right direction.
