Enjoyable match for us Sainters.
After an ordinary first quarter performance, the Saints took stock then dominated the rest of the match. Sadly, whilst dominant, we still weren't able to really impact on the scoreboard to put the game beyond doubt.
Adelaide made a few selection errors (maybe they've still got some personnel problems - while our injured list is looking the best it's been for some time). Massie on Riewoldt was a mistake that worked in our favour - especially in that second quarter.
Great for the Saints tonight were Riewoldt (how many marks ??), Lenny Hayes (how many tackles ??), Sammy Fisher, Leigh Montagna, Kosi, Harvey, Fraser Gehrig and Luke Ball.
The surprise packet was Birss with his best game in the red white and black
Maguire got into the match nicely but did make some poor decisions resulting in frees to the Crows.
I was concerned that we lost the drive from Gram by committing him to a pure defensive role on Scott Welsh and Xavier is also a worry - up and down like a yoyo. Needs to forge greater consistency in his game.
