Toast Welcome to St.Kilda - HUGO GARCIA!

[SaintsSeptember]

Why would you get rid of the scout/s, Hughes has been around a while.

Toce the list manager not so long, but Toce the talent scout also a long time.

Dare say Dalrymple will have his own people

 

[bird_man]

Does anyone know where Toce has ended up?

Seems strange we moved him on IMO. I think we could have found a role for him as well as Dalrymple.

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

That makes cents
Hopefully dollars too.

Dimples has has runs on the board...Toce was putting them on the board...I agree, 2 heads or 10 ard better than 1....maybe they are gonna load up this year?
Who knows...it's a fun journey I'll say

Suspect Gubby steps away and SOS may only stay till the end of the year.

 

[mighty_sainters]

Needs to move on from the blonde tips but everything else about him is a nice positive.

Spanish and Italian blood? Pretty exotic for a Saints player

Plenty of Saints in Spain and Italy. Well of the canonised variety anyway

 

[Hubnester]

A very promising debut form Garcia! From the time he came on he was hungry for the ball and competed strongly against a mature opposition. Looks like he belongs, I hope he can keep his spot next week.

 

[Ekomaira]

has to play next week, and not as sub

 

[mad-saint-guy]

has to play next week, and not as sub

Absolutely. Gave us a real spark. Seems to be cut from the same cloth as Windy and Chito with manic intensity.

 

[Circus]

Well ladies and gentlemen, we've found one and he's a keeper!!

 

[Plugger35]

Our first sub to have a real impact and played a big part in our comeback, give him a start next week Ross, he has the skills to pay the bills.

 

[Ducky Tie]

He looked fantastic. 11 touches, 8 contested, 7 tackles and 3 clearances in 34% game time.

I'd seen others make the Liberatore comparison before and wasn't sure I saw it but I did today. He has that fierce competitiveness and gets virtually underneath the stoppage.

He should start in the 22 next week and play a fair chunk of midfield.

 

[TheJackal]

11 touches, 8 contested, 7 tackles in 34% gametime, could we be seeing the first rising star nomination for a player subbed on after half time?

Agree.
A lot to like.

 

[Jesuswasacarpenter]

Wow, what a debut.
Commentary on Fox Footy were commenting on how good his positioning was around d the throw ins.
His work was credited as setting up a goal from stoppage.
If Arie gets a go this year as well....when's the last time Saint Kilda played 5 new draftees in a season?

Hope he’s in the starting 18

2022.

Highmore
Conolley
Hunter ( AFL debut age 28).
Clavarino
Sharman.

Not a measure of anything good apparently.

 

[tomjoad]

If he brings that kind of effort and heart into the team...he plays every game until he gets tired.
