Game Day Round 22, 2018: St.Kilda v Hawthorn

[Geary Is GOAT]

Why did we have Geary playing wing ahead of Sincs, Billings, Acres and co?

Because Richo.

He was playing a run with on Isaac Smith and kept him to season low disposals and goalless.

Feel sorry for the boys not to get the result tonight, Hawks got the rub of the green all night.

At the same time, where was this effort virtually all year?

Urgh, now I'm hungover and a bit sad. Well done Saints.

 

[burningdwarf]

Can’t help but feel Carlisle in that backline would have been a significant impact.

But then we wouldn't have had Gilbert do a step, a fend off and then reverse banana it out on the full.

 

[Big 0]

Good effort boys.

Steven with a knee on knee with about 5 to go, and couldn't get back going with the game in the balance.

 

[Wright 1]

Great effort by the boys. Just put an in form Bruce or Paddy in the forward 50 and the effort will pay dividends. Need a bit of work on some of our plays. EG: Who goes up, who peels off, etc and we are away. Hopefully if Ratten & some decent coaches come in the off season we can really sharpen up this side of our game

Negative from the game for me is Goddard. Miles off it, stamped his own papers IMO.

Gilbert is a seriously talented player because that is genuinely hard to do

 

[Stjonesy]

Acres and gresham, just runnin around like two wild untapped Brumbies that have had zero guidance ever in there playing career, yet still almost won us a game against a top 4 fancy.

Just hamburglar type development and structure. Embarrassing and pitiful

Lonie is a beast, glad for the the little man, he deserves a 2 year contract.
Marshall has to be our 3rd tall/back up ruckman. Keep getting games into him, much better ‘Prospect’ than Paddy....
Steele is a beast! I now have hope for our future midfield again.
Billings so much better since being dropped.
Carlisle over Gilbert and I reckon we would have won that.
Faith some what restored, we just need more games, we actually had a good game plan tonight and executed well.
Happy member tonight!

 

[mightymalaka]

We got absolutely shafted.

I know! Who would have thunk it!
Saints v Hawks...Saints get shafted AGAIN!

AFL morphing more into FIFA everyday!

Integrity...Pfffftt...Not a f#cking chance!

 

[Sir Skid]

It was a good game.

We played well and deserved the win but our goal kicking agian let us down.

Well played lads.

There is a blueprint to beat jawks. Tag mitchell.

Hawks are so well organised and drilled they just can't handle CHAOS!

Good effort tonight by the boys.
Good we end up with a better draft pick.
Bad GC so crap

He really wanted us to remember the good times - presumably this was his retirement match

(He drilled it out on the full again on the other side of the ground a minute later too)

What are you talking about dude? Gresham is developing beautifully. Acres is the worry.

 

[CHBench]

Total liability. That play at the end where he left Schoenmakers on his own to not effect the contest and then was too busy taking his mouthguard out with back to the umpire to hear the play on calls.. cmon mate.

Didn't see the game , interested in how Logan Austin played, is he contracted for next year, do you want to keep him?

 

[Saintbloke]

Good effort. One big problem again is the inability of our medium size players to win one on one marking contests, we need to bulk some of these guys up. Top effort from Lonie. We let them get a few fat too easy goals- the old third quarter problem again. I reckon Hickey might have made a difference tonight around the ground- we needed more marking power, though 42 and 43 show promise.

 

[Saint Shags]

What are you talking about dude? Gresham is developing beautifully. Acres is the worry.

Agreed.

Problem with Acres is that he chooses when to go in.

 

[bergholt]

No idea if he's contracted but I think we hang onto him, we've liked what he has to show so far

 

[George]

Re-sign Alan Richardson!

 

[George]

super proud of the effort and intensity given the turmoil

have to give richo credit he has seriously changed everything up for this game. geary up the ground. jb pushing higher. gresham pushing up higher.

It's as if he actually was coaching.
