I know it is only his second game, and he has plenty of work to do , but the early signs are very good for Arie Schoenmaker . He has a beautiful left foot as we can all see, but also seems to use it more judiciously than , say , Riley Bonner. I also continue to be impressed by Mason Wood’s renaissan...

It really was an extremely disappointing performance by Max. When he finally led up for a mark he got a Bronx cheer, which summed it up.

In the last quarter he had multiple chances to grab the game, but failed to do so.

If there is any selection integrity he must be dropped.

What a poor hit to the top of square

Not every time..

Of the three emergencies, Jones and Byrnes have been picked for Sandy; Campbell has not, suggesting he will be spare man in case someone goes down in the warmup . It also gives Heath the chance for a full game in the ruck ( where he has had some impressive games this season) .

So now maybe he will get injured. That would be a shame. Psychic ? Who got injured? I posted straight after Butters went off with what seemed to be a serious injury ( shoulder) , just as Yorkeys had suggested might happen. However , Butters is a tough bugger and, to his credit, returned and was one...

I’m Sorry , but he is from WA , and surely will want to go Back Home Again

Covid recruits are a bit like any movie made in 2020, not that good.

Vortex - I totally disagree . The Dry , starring great Saints fan Eric Bana, was released in 2020 and I reckon is an excellent movie. The recent sequel wasn’t too bad either.

I will open the thread as usual, but not been able to watch much of the match. I will leave it to others to start the voting , and will chime in tomorrow after watching the replay.

With the most sincere of apologies to those who are looking at the finer points of the game in the pursuit of perfection, I actually like it when we compete hard ( which we did tonight ) and won ( which we also did tonight ). Josh Battle showed again tonight how critical he is to the team. I absolut...

Out Howard
In Cordy

5. Sinclair
4 NWM
3. Battle
2. Windhager
1. Butler

Did Cordy get through the game ok ? We may need him next week .

Arie is listed as an out for Sandy - “AFL”. So he will be held back as the 24th man in case a late out in Seniors. He is not far away from being our 5th 2023 draft player to debut this season.

Arie in as emergency for seniors this week; has to be next cab off the rank if a backline spot opens up.

Not even an emergency.
Crouch, Arie are emerg

Saints website reports that Stocker is out for 2-3 weeks with abdominal/groin issue

And is able to hit a target from 50 ( which is just a chip kick for him). I’d give him a game in place of Bonner.

Yes he played . Kicked a goal and did some nice things, but needs to get more of it.

As Otiman said, Max Heath the dominant big man.

Crouch ready for seniors .

Schoenmaker really has a huge weapon with that left foot.

Hastie did some nice things, and Pou and Garcia found a bit of it.

Alas Hotton off with a hammy .

Sandy got up to win by a point.

Cooper Sharman was quiet for most of the night , but kicked 2 excellent late snap goals and then took a strong mark in defence to save the game.

RTB is looking younger

Enright was reading from Ratten’s script- “pleasing “.

Great goal by Hugo Garcia.

Yep - he was strong all game.

Well done lads. 5. Mason Wood . First on the wing , and then as a George Young - like left footed goalkicker. Superb . 4. Hunter Clark . Great return. In and under all day . 3. Marcus Windhager. Changed the game. 2. Josh Battle. Our best in first half. 1. Jack Sinclair. Plenty of others lifted too.
