Autopsy Round 5, 2022: St.Kilda v Gold Coast

[George]

RELIEF. 4-1.

 

[HillToKing]

King looked like he was walking ok just then from the bench back on to the field.
Maybe slightest of limps.

 

[_Maximus_12]

4-1. Play this song at my funeral. Higgins is our Stevie J

 

[Myles David]

Something has risen!

 

[kernelT]

Mature, professional effort…

Can't wait for Jones, Billings & Clark to join this side.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Did the job. Far from perfect but that will at least help us to not get complacent.

Higgo 9 goals in his last two completed games and was on fire in the game he went off concussed.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

for a team of plodders we sure do have a few game breakers in our squad; higgings, hill, gresh, king, sinclair, even NWM is shaping up to be that kind of player.. happy days!

 

[St Kilda Senators]

Wtf I don't know what to do with so many wins.

 

[Sab22]

We should really be 5-0 when you think about it! We look good, we are a matured team i think… LIDS OFFF

 

[westernsainter]

Wanganeen-Milera looks like a hell of a player.

 

[my name was taken]

beauty, wasnt as flashy as we seen but grinding out a 26 point win when we probably could have been a lot more efficient is a great sign.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Having Gresh AND Higgins in this team is seriously undervalued. The 2 have elite goal sense, Higgins is also a very good lead up forward and Gresh is a beast around contests. Add Butler in there with his speed and pressure. King has matured. All of a sudden this forward line looks better than it has in like, 7/8 years maybe? If we can tighten up our backline a smidge more we are suddenly a good team.

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

Just trotting along boys just trotting along.

Scrappy old game and we still beat a decent looking side by 30odd. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Sun Ra]

RELIEF. 4-1.

This is code for don't let your son go down on me I think as far as the original goes ?
Sorry but I've never liked that song but understand the sentiment.

Seagull 3 votes.

He's still out there over Gresh's shoulder - getting some extra K's into the legs post game. Hard worker.

 

[Verdun66]

Bloody good win that. GC came to play. Was a big wrestle for a while, but we prevailed. Lid loosening, but not off.

Got golf now. Spring in my step!

 

[Sun Ra]

Anyone watching on TV notice that Joey's new favourite word is "profile" ?

 

[Veer Right]

Good win, got it done, think we will need more run in the last quarter against better opposition. Would hope Connolly and Byrnes are seriously looked at for inclusion next week.

Higgins, Sinclair, Steel and Crouch

 

[Myles David]

Dominated on stoppages today.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Wanganeen-Milera looks like a hell of a player.

He's always in the right spots. Has great game awareness

 

[StFly]

So GCS as a club match very well v us player wise, same sort of strength and weakness points except we've a much better forwardline than what they've produced, so this was always to me going to be a who had midfield and how much resistance sort of deal.

Fair to say, we had them at arms length in about 80% of play since clearance kinda evened out turnover but turnover was due to us rushing due to them pressuring mostly.

This was a game for smalls and winning the contest at ground level then spreading from as opposed to traditional hit the KPF, more just weight of numbers, so on that instance, great even performance really, but especially that mid grouping after what GCS did v Blues much vaunted smoke up arse guys.

 

[saintbill]

Mature win. We look better than I could have imagined.

Higgins best on, Sinclair his usual awesome self and McKenzie's work rate is absolutely epic. Has become a genuine gun.

 

[Myles David]

Wanganeen-Milera looks like a hell of a player.

His kicking is as advertised. He just gets better every week.

 

[my name was taken]

Dominated score from stoppage and clearance numbers ..maybe just maybe, we over analysed the ruck dilemma in the preview thread

 

[Sab22]

Jweb > Long
Jones > Windy
Billings > Wood
Ryder > Hayes
Clark > NWM/Lienert

These are the changes we can expect in the coming weeks potentially, I would love for NWM to stay though. We’re playing so well, it’s going to be hard to drop players and hard for players to crack in to.
