What pissed me off most was when he didn't give the handball back to Gilbo who was streaming into the 50. Instead he tried to take on Ziebell and got caught holding the ball. Should be dropped for that alone.Just on Mav, the 2 instances where I thought he definitely deserves to lose his spot were in the 2nd quarter coming out of defence, he ran onto a loose ball from Webster's? kick, which set us up perfectly. Bruce streamed forward & had a great 10m gap on his opponent. All that was needed was a strong Kick in the general direction of Bruce, but no..... Mav slows up tries some fancy footwork to baulk & 'look flashy', then ends up holding onto the ball too long that he has to finally kick high ball to Bruce in a 1-2 against Tarrant & Hansen.
The 2nd instance was exactly the same play but in the last, all that was needed was a strong kick down the line to a free player, but Mav has to look flashy so he baulks, cuts back inside then kicks a grubber to out of position Saints players that were goalside expecting him to use to loose down the line.
Seriously, needs to get a reality check
?Finally!!!!
On just Longer. Ruckmans take some time to be that genuine big ruck who can be consistent and physical. He's like 23 or 24. When he hits that 25 age mark, I think that's when he really be that guy for us. Same goes for Paddy but he strike bit early.Bar 15 minutes in the last, some sloppy ball use, and some missed opportunities in front of goal we have to be reasonably happy with the result.
I was pretty nervous that North would more than hold their own against us, and whilst they were poor, we made it that way for them for most of the night.
Our pressure on their ball carriers through the middle of the ground prevented clean entry into their forward line, and Carlisle and Brown totally dominated Sideshow Bob, and Waite.
The only real negative in terms of personal was Billy Longer. I know the club sees a bright future for him, and there isn't anyone banging down the door for his spot but heck for a big fella, he's got a long way to go. I'm yet to really see him physically impose himself on the contest, which worries me given his physique. Unfortunately we're in an awkward position where all of our ruckman are out of form.
One positive that I think has gone unnoticed, was Bruce's continual effort to make a contest at all arial balls. His ability to bring the ball to ground when outnumbered is something that we have been lacking, and makes us so much more dangerous. I was really happy with his output last night.
Cyril is injury prone.Lonie-Wright-Minchington-Long
I expect half of those 4 gone come the final list submission.
We are crying out for a decent small forward.
Cyril as FA for a few years!
More like woke up with a win and realised I missed a hang over?

I saw parts were he wanted to take the game on himself not be Part of the team. He's in the leadership team, he needs to think about his teammates not himself. He is out of form clearly and Weller 2016 needs to return.I thought Mav was ok.

My short take on the game. In the first half when the game was there to be won our 3 best players were 1. Ross 2. Billings 3. Dunstan.
That was Dunstan's best game by a fair margin. He did fade after half time which he needs to work on, but the way he cracked in and was actually first to the ball was surprising since this is what we have lacked recently. And to do that against Ziebell and Cunnington was even more so impressive.
I was criticizing Montagna but his first quarter and a half he was actually worst on ground for us. Credit he did pick up after half time and needs to play at that level or he is out.
Dunstan is a good player with a very poor tank.As much as I would like to see Lonie be a success, his goal kicking is unacceptable and a major liability. I think by memory he is 0.5 from set shots in 2017. That one he missed from 15 metres was unbelievable.
Dunstan very good. Will hold his spot.
Some of Longer's taps are fantastic and gives the midfield a fair chance at clearances. He even took an intercept mark!
Fantastic - If that's what the AFL want then I'm sure there'll be heaps of AFL players willing to cop the $1000 fine just so than can give any serial pest a good old kidney punch.He gets a fine under the points system or nothing because of low force. No weeks for that.

Jeez Toby Greene and Tom Bugg would be needing transplants every week under that sort of thinking. (Lets not even think about how poor old Hayden Ballantyne or Milney would have gone)
Intentional - medium - body - one week.
But then again the AFL tribunal is a bit of a joke so you're right he will probably get a fine.
So where do the likes of Dunstan and Stevens play when not in the middle. They haven't really got the ability to play in other positions. And anyway once the ball is bounced about 10 play on the ball. And I would think Richo wants us to be predictable. Worked for Hawks for many years.
thats not what I was saying. Not everyone is like sincs. You need to give players an opportunity at least play somewhat in the same position that they have been in the twos to allow for better development and smoother transitions to afl. Whether it be 5minutes a half or the whole gameAfter the centre bounce all our wingers and flankers become mids.
Sincas uses the ball so well that you want him getting the release handball from the inside grunters... which he can do from a wing very efficiently.

Sad reacts onlyJust thought I would put this update here as well
St Kilda young gun Hugh Goddard will miss the remainder of 2017 with a toe injury, the Saints confirmed on Friday.
Goddard will undergo surgery to repair ligaments in his big toe, after suffering the injury in the VFL two weeks ago.

He cant even get a basic handball off. Hes got plenty if heart but i want a flag and he is not a premiership ruckmen.On just Longer.

As I just posted on the Cheer Squad thread....I was very surprised that 26 K attended...I thought they'd be pushing to get 20K.
The club must be pretty concerned about our home attendances tho.......not once this year has the crowd been posted and our group has gone "that's a great crowd"...it's always..."is that all".
A bit baffling/disappointing as the club has been strong at promoting home games this year.
I don't know what the answer is really......I guess just keep winning.
What was the line in the movie Field of Dreams.....win em and they will come......lol.

doubt he'll get another Contract extention... but he did a few good things in 2nd half. he's just too small. pushed away to easy.
