"Fifty-two. Forty-one. Seventy-four. Sixty.

Those are not this week’s lotto numbers: they are the meagre points tallies St Kilda’s four vanquished opponents – Fremantle, Western Bulldogs, Essendon and Gold Coast – mustered against the AFL’s stingiest defence.

Defensive maestro Ross Lyon’s unbeaten Saints have conceded 10 goals fewer than all clubs bar Richmond, who have still coughed up 59 extra points, while being somewhat of an offensive juggernaut, too.

They have gone from 15th to second in converting a rebound 50 into an inside 50, and 11th to second at generating a forward-50 entry from kick-ins, according to Champion Data. Lyon’s men are also the sole team averaging more than 100 uncontested marks, too, which relates to them amassing the second-most short kicks in the opening month.

A mighty challenge awaits St Kilda on Sunday against Collingwood, but Fox Footy analyst David King is convinced the Saints’ success is sustainable.

“They are the best ball-movement team in the comp – they stop it better than anyone, and they’re second at going end-to-end themselves. Their run is all-consuming,” King said.

Both clubs benefit from out-numbering opponents: the super-fit Saints by repeatedly out-running their rivals from contest-to-contest and having constant support, whereas the Pies’ method revolves around pressing forward as a defensive group and relying on risk, reward and probability.

King calls the Saints’ approach “chase and arrive”, while Collingwood’s surge mentality often leads to four or five Pies breaking away together. At the same time, they are 11th for mark and play-on percentage, but have one of the lowest kick-to-handball ratios in the competition.

“They’re [Collingwood] prepared to give up an easy goal. They will try to out-number six versus three, and if the three [from the other team] can win it, they will have two spare blokes out the back,” King said.

“It’s analytics at its best. You will win 90 per cent of those six-versus-three contests, but it’s also why Brisbane were able to walk in so many goals against them last week. It might lose them a big game, but they’re going to win lots of matches.”

The Pies have more believers at this stage than St Kilda, one of only three sides with a sub-40 per cent scoring rate from inside 50s. As admirable as Zaine Cordy, Mitch Owens and Anthony Caminiti have been, the Saints are desperately missing Max King and Tim Membrey.

But they rank second in scores from turnover differential – and history tells us the premier typically comes from teams who finish in the top four in this statistic.

There is also a new-found appreciation for Sinclair, an All-Australian defender last season who has gone to another level this year in Lyon’s system. King thinks Sinclair is St Kilda’s best player, above Jack Steele and the injured Max King. Rich praise, indeed."

Jenny?

[Sainter_Dad]

Jenny was Jessie's Girl and had a daughter Stacey!

- Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield
- Jenny by Tommy Tutone
- Stacey's Mom by Fountains of Wayne.

Jessie's Girl, released February of 1981, about a guy who is in love with his best friend girlfriend and wants to be with her.
Jenny released September of 1981, about a woman's phone number is written on a bathroom wall, and again a man who wants to be with her.
Stacey's Mom released September of 2003. About a kid who is lusting after a girls mom.

It started out that Jessie had a girlfriend, Rick Springfield wanted to be with her, he won her over. So, pissed off, Jessie wrote her name and number up on a bathroom wall saying "for a good time call 867 5309"

Years pass and they are still together.
They settle down and get married, and have a daughter named Stacey.

How do we know that Rick Springfield got the girl? In the music video for Stacey's Mom, Stacey gets into a car with her mom, the licence plate of the car says "I <3 Rick".

Prove me wrong!!!!!


BUT - back on topic - we were once defensive - and won by boring football - now we can restrict the scoring and counter punch when we get the chance - I LOVE 2023 football ATM
