Game Day St Kilda v Western Bulldogs Rd 18 2016 @ 7:10 pm Saturday Night

[pebblesofsand]

Great game tonight by a team defence.

Dogs kept us to about their scores against average of 73 points for the season but we kept them 27 points below their scoring average for the year.

That's indicates brilliant defensive pressure and effort all over the ground.

Well done to all players!!!!

 

[mysainters]

Undersized defence in sparkling form, the one on one battles fought and one were breathtaking.

Poor Wallis...punching the ground yelling "no no no" was awful.

North not even close to dogs endeavour through injury this year.

 

[Mat Mann]

Billings needs game time and continuity, the reset will come

 

[bird_man]

Yew!!!!

Who played on the million dollar baby?

 

[RoundCubic]

It must be hard on him, he was quiet and all i can recall of him were mistakes. Compare that to Bont tonight...

Billings confidence is down especially in his kicking since his injury just got to play through it ok game if he wasn't a number 3 pick

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Needs more Geary. He was not beaten once tonight

All Australian. Hardly lost a contest all year and those kicking mares have not been witnessed for two months. There is a lot of character both in this group but also a number of individuals. Our young kids, particularly the ones with less dominant personalities and need to have better 2017s, will have some great role models.

Darn! I posted in the main board thread for this game by mistake So I'll just put this here... thanks Crownbet for the free view of the game and three coffees for the price of one!

 

[Persevering Saint]

We are either going to finish 8th or 9th. Would love to finish 8th to give the young lads a taste of finals football. Would make them hungry for more!

Long, long way to go... but imagine if we finish 8th...

... and the Bulldogs finish 5th...

Absolutely, can't get it out of my head how STEVE WALLIS round armed Barks and broke his jaw, first thing that sprung to mind

Yeah his dad was a prick in the old days. I'd rather Steve Wallis get his testicles caught a car door than see his son go down, mainly because I'm squeamish, the TV kept showing it and you somehow can't look away. Still not as bad as Nathan Brown that was so wrong, I had a few Dogs mates saying it was karma for leaving the Dogs so perhaps that's their karma having to witness a favourite son go down.

Why do we have to compare him to anyone, he will be a very good player

David King was keen to compare them tonight. He forget to mention that Paddy McCartin contributed almost as much as Tom Boyd.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

The two Jacks...Billings and Sinclair didn't have great nights. All we can hope is that they got used to the pace of play. Sinclair needs to get in tighter. Not sure Lonie and/or Templeton would do better.

Yep I would love to see Eli get a fair run of games, but the Jacks need to play.

geary

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I feel bad about the injuries. We need those bastards to beat North.

 

[TheEnsign]

I was trying to explain why he may have been flat after a win. I'm not interested in going over who we should have drafted, thats a question that will take a decade to answer.

 

[crasha301]

Seriously sincs! 3 bloody disposals!!!! I love ya but back to the 2s for you.

 

[sauce_head]

Is Billings Okay? Seemed depressed in the team song.

Thought the same. Suspect he is not happy with his output. Which is good.

 

[RoundCubic]

It must be hard on him, he was quiet and all i can recall of him were mistakes. Compare that to Bont tonight...

Also i think they may have been focusing on stopping our spread and at first left Steven and Dunstan alone who had a field day in the first half cause Ross and Sinclair couldn't get the ball

 

[StKing11]

Waiting for the autopsy/review thread to pop up and it hasn't, are we not doing that tonight?

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

No offence mate buts thats one off the oddest post ive ever read.
No he didnt????

 

[Persevering Saint]

That's because we ain't dead.

 

[Phoenix_9]

Saints are building something great. So many good performances! Steven, immense. Hickey, great again. Weller, beast. Dempster, pillar down back. Roo, vintage. Membrey, goals keep coming. So many others put in great shifts too.

A couple negatives: Bruce is out of form, but is constantly getting double teamed. Sinclair, nowhere near it

All in all, quality four quarter effort. Go saints!
Bring on the Kangas

PS. $30 @ 3.35, cheers lads!

More fun to compare Paddy and Boyd

 

[Kilroy]

Soooo good to win a close one.

.... AGAIN!!!

I could get used to this.

Nobody. No need to.
