Great to hear young inclusions Templeton and Billings got throught their 1st. hitout. Eli does sound impressive especially with attitude. If a few more can step up the attitude and close the gap on J.Steven; Geary & Armo we could be cooking along nicely. Eli sounds exciting already don't even know what he looks like but hoping he stays fit and hungry and you never know.
Reports also sound positive reg: J.Newness - hope he keeps going.
Thankyou for the reports and pics much appreciated.

The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.

took a while to find him---- he's cut his hair- was one of those to change sides during the game- but was easy to pick the changes-- as the shorts stayed the same so those who moved side ended with odd outfits.
Shents was getting a bit of it ..
Was it my imagination but harder to score at the Northern end?

http://www.saints.com.au/news/2014-02-08/hot-saintsMore than 1,500 St Kilda supporters braved sweltering hot conditions at Linen House Centre on Saturday morning to watch the Saints in the annual intra-club practice match.
The mercury rose to over the 36 degrees but it didn’t stop the Saints from putting on a show with fans treated to a great performance from new recruits, including St Kilda’s first draft pick Jack Billings.
“It was a good to see so many supporters out there cheering us on, especially so early in the year and being so hot it was great to see,” Billings said.
“It’s so good for the players especially because it really drives the players on the field.”
Free yogurt went down a treat...

I watched a few bits up on line and Holmes looks like he's still finding out how to play but he pinched the ball a few times and rucked okay. He's a worthy inclusion. He shows more than Tommy gun already IMO and is more likely to make the AFL standard as a ruck man.

There was some D nose reporter at the ground who took about 15 takes to say 20 words, threw his tie off onto the fence amongst the supporters as if he owned the ground. They had one of the saints kids (supporter) holding up a dish which was almost as big as him so he could get a reflection on his face. I'm tipping they didn't even buy him an ice-cream.
All for a report about how we've cut funding to our football department, nothing positive
Had the kids not of been with me, I would of ensured a few more takes.

Re: Intraclub
Armitage was great IMO .... Easily the stand out
Savage ran hard and was quite classy
Maister and Rhys were good targets... Ruckmen were promising
Curran and Saunders look ripping fit, and would be with Jones, Geary, Steven, Dempster and Savage as the clubs fittest.
Adam Cockie won plenty of hard clearances will be great support for the kids at Sandy....
Newnes and Ross will both go up a notch this year... Newnes top ten, Ross in the best 21
Shenton, Dunnell, Roberton... Were ok across HB...
Templeton very hard runner, quick of mind and foot. He looks very likely, as does JB and Acres. Dunstan is mature, but is a tractor... Massive thighs and makes Armo look nimble IMO. But it could've been the heat draining energy levels of the boy.
Weller will be a good depth addition... He is ready made, so if a good Mid goes down he'll step in
I think we have 10 easily AFL standard players and throw a blanket over the next twenty.... We need half of those to transition to become easily AFL standard

IMHO
Delaney = answer for gorillas but just serviceable ... looked good in patches
Bruce = a work in progress. Looks to have skills but not the answer on resting rucks! Would love to see his work as a forward.

Savage ran hard and was quite classy
Maister and Rhys were good targets... Ruckmen were promising
Curran and Saunders look ripping fit, and would be with Jones, Geary, Steven, Dempster and Savage as the clubs fittest.
Adam Cockie won plenty of hard clearances will be great support for the kids at Sandy....
Newnes and Ross will both go up a notch this year... Newnes top ten, Ross in the best 21
Shenton, Dunnell, Roberton... Were ok across HB...
Templeton very hard runner, quick of mind and foot. He looks very likely, as does JB and Acres. Dunstan is mature, but is a tractor... Massive thighs and makes Armo look nimble IMO. But it could've been the heat draining energy levels of the boy.
Weller will be a good depth addition... He is ready made, so if a good Mid goes down he'll step in
I think we have 10 easily AFL standard players and throw a blanket over the next twenty.... We need half of those to transition to become easily AFL standard
- Roberton was very good
- Dunstan started tagging Jack Steven ... a learning curve
- Maister takes some great grabs but still dropping some certs
- TDL looked a lively small forward
Overall our set shots for goal were SHOCKING! Issue is they try to kick the ball through the posts which is an amateur mistake - you must kick to something in particular behind the goal ... improves accuracy from 50 / 50 to as good as 70 / 30 if you are a decent kick.
AwayInUSA no longer ... have based myself back in Melbourne for a decade of Saintsational Success (with regular trips back to the USA)

Re: Intraclub
Good point BFUSA, it's what Peter Hudson was teaching the Forwards back when Sheldon was coach, before the Saints hierarchy of the day decided Sheldon/Hudson had too much control and threw a spanner in the works. Hudson left the Saints not long after. I think the Saints hierarchy of the day were worried Sheldon/Hudson were going to be successful without their input and they couldn't handle it .BackFromUSA wrote:Agree with most of this but:BigMart wrote:Armitage was great IMO ....
