Autopsy Saints sink Dockers

[Mat Mann]

I know Steele has his detractors as a captain, but clearly the players love him. Marshall In particular made a fuss of him after the goal.

His movement seemed much improved tonight, havent seen him move that fast all year, when he was chasing and gave away the soft downfield free

Channel 7 blatantly pushing the narrative that Longmuir is getting sacked in the post match coverage. It's disgraceful.

I thought it was brilliant coverage and top television. Stellar analysis.

We need more of it.

Mate I agree with mighty saint. I dont know what your political views are (as clear as youve made them) I do know we just had a big win and, it’d be nice to beat the blues next week.

Do you know I was responding to someone else.

I’m stoaked about the win too. Look at my posting history. Just some important corrections.

 

[Sol Goodman]

Angry RL inspired a very RL defensive grindy pressure type win. They did not give Freo an inch all game. So impressive.

 

[Blended]

To be honest, the only disappointment was the crowd size tonight. Come on crew, let’s turn out next week for Spuds Game and get into those pricks!!

Someone's gonna be stiff to miss out for the poo next week

Still not sure where we sit. I guess we've had a toughish draw so far. Yes, a huge turnaround this week but Fremantle were tactically hopeless - to keep moving slow down the line when under that sort of blanket was just dumb. Still, a lot to like and a real lesson in "do what Lyon says and things will work". A night out for Sharman and it was almost as good for Owens. Might be the making of Garcia. For the opposition it's clear that Narkle isn't done - good for him.

That was an old style numbers around the ball, choke the life out of them Ross Lyon dictated win. Yeah the first half wasn't pretty but as is the case with these game they open up in the 2nd half. I cant remember ever seeing us tackling and hunting in numbers so well. Plus the number of holding the ball frees that we got were outstanding - Freo looked like shot ducks. Lots of very good players too many to name them all, but Boxshall is already a better midfielder than Murphy Reid.

I loved the win but gees Freo are really poorly coached. No run and dare, zero risk taking or link up quick play Justin Longmuir

will be sacked before the year is out. IMO he is the worst coach in the game.

 

[Mat Mann]

stay on topic peeps

 

[Ads734]

Return to 2009 that was.

Killed in contested ball
Killed then in pressure untill we piled on the scores

 

[moirae42]

Fun night at the footy.

How good is that Wilkie fella?

 

[TheJackal]

Gotta head down Bangla road now to celebrate

No matter how convincing, she's not a she.

Yeah it's amateur hour. "Longmuir in trouble because it's all over twitter". WTF? Does this pass as reporting these days?? No class in that place, the AFL media.

Travaglia just comes out as originally intended

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Ross can really put a lot of words out there for basic questions after a good win

Someone on SEN today said he'd mastered the art of filling out the interview, so there was no time left for the difficult questions.

Speaking of stiff.....Mason Wood will be available.

I'm here all week....try the veal....

Corey, come here and pay attention, this is how its done.

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Great performance, complete dominance. We were very good but Freo were equally putrid.

Incredible trolling from Ross, not using the sub at all after the media frenzy about the early sub last week.

Marshall probably gets a week for the trip. Don't mind him getting a week's rest anyway.

Someone else has to come out for Wood.

“Doctor, how many hours is too many to have an erection for after a win?

Interesting.”

I'm a really big fan of O'Connell. He's another tough nut, very similar to Stocker. He just gets it done, absolutely love him in the side.

Don't know what was up with Freo but jeez they were bad. How you don't tag Macrae is beyond me.

But seriously what a fantastic response from our mob. Just tougher in every aspect of the game. The backline was immense led by another incredible Wilkie performance but also how good was Webster? So clean.

Loved seeing Steeley get a goal. He is clearly hurting and wants to be better, you could tell from the reaction to the goal. Really good step forward for him and also Marshall who destroyed their two rucks.

When Sharman is flying at the ball like that he's a wonderful player to watch.

Box could be some player. Tough as, and his disposal was solid as today. Thinking what he'll be like in a couple of years has me excited.

I went to the game. We Ross Lyon strangled the life out of them.

 

[Saint Shags]

So I have to watch the replay.

I'm currently in Perth working for the better half for a writers signing event.

You better ****ing believe I'm wearing the Saints polo tomorrow when I go sightseeing in Fremantle!

 

[Big 0]

Essentially everyone played well and complemented each other, only way you get that kind of result (putting aside the fact that freo were genuinely putrid)
