Prediction The NAB Challenge thread - Melbourne v St Kilda

[Gysberts2Bate]

Yeah surprisingly he was able to clean his shorts out quite quickly as he put together a pretty neat game given limited opportunity.

Gresh > Oliver
Billings > Bont

At least over on the saints board.

It's a tie between them and the Bombers for most delusional board on BigFooty.

I usually go over for a laugh.

Apparently this Gresham bloke is/was the best player in draft. Apparently only his height stopped him from going at no. 1...

They compared Billings to Hird with the kicking skills of Darren Jarman.

Seriously?? I knew meth was a problem but I didn't know it was this bad!

True of Caleb Daniel, not of Gresham. What's laughable is that they always come up with this s**t postdraft. Just look at their Petracca backflipping. Olympic standard.

I concur with the calls of Saints supporters being deluded

My brother in law is a saints supporter, totally deluded

Reckons Holmes killed Gawn

Anyway, pleased with the performance and what I was impressed by, no one really stood out for me

I thought there was a heap of even contributors

Gawn took on two rucks and easily came out on top. Holmes actually did OK in hitouts however not sure on the hitouts to advantage stats. However had 2 handballs in a half one of which was effective. To say he beat Gawn is a huge stretch and delusional beyond belief.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

He stopped Gawn from totally dominating the hitouts I guess. Not bad for a newbie.

Yeah he did alright in hitouts. However Gawn had basically played a whole half in ruck prior to that.

 

[SuburbanMe]

think it was probably because he was bigger bodied. And Holmes can f'n jump! Gawn still beat him though, but credit where it's due for an international draftee.

Yeah he's very athletic. Can take a while for the internationals to get used to the game to.

Finally watched the replay last night.

A few general comments:
-Watts attack on the ball and contest was so much better in the first half. Needs to continue in the season proper and he'll win respect.
- Wagner had a dip but his footskills were below standard. Has some work to do. OMac needs another year to put on size to be a fighting chance of a spot.
- TMac's kicking will cost us a few goals again this season, fortunately he will save us many, many more.
- For a guy who only concedes 3cm to Sandilands Gawn's footskills and work below the knees is very good.
- Bugg's form has been great and I like what he brings.
- Oliver is lightning in close. Big fan already.
- Saints looked pretty spent in the 2nd half, particularly end of qtrs.
- Newnes, Billings, Lonie look like players for the Saints.

 

[Capt_Concussion]

I thought Holmes did beat Gawn in the actual ruck contests! But had no idea what he was doing around the ground.

Think I'll have to buy the pass, living out of home this year anyway and don't have foxtel so I think it'll be worth it.
