Geelong V St.Kilda Match Discussion

Sounds like Armo, Baker, Dal Santo, Geary and Kosi have been our best so far.

Allen, Chivers, Connors, Fiora, Mline, Steven and van Rheenen all yet to get a touch.

Very rarely have we had 3 effective disposals in succession.

Inaccuracy has cost us, but to be honest I don't see it as an issue yet, apparently that end was very hard to kick at and most misses were from quite a way out....
Will be interesting to see how both teams go this quarter, hopefully we will be able to get a couple of supergoals...

Stats

Geary 11
Dal 9
Baker 7
Montagna 6
Kosi 5

AFL stats saying Armo has only had it 5 times... seemed like more to me.

Geary with 11 touches

Dal with 8...
Dal's stats are making him look better than he has been so far IMO, he hasn't been getting into the thick of it as of yet...

Because he did come off with a couple minutes left...
Both teams used 15 out of 16 available subs, stupid, stupid rule....

they kept saying that either he was injured or didn't want to tackle... I hoped its injury otherwise its a long year for birss

No surprise to me.

Was clear he was going to be a gun half way through last year.

He wasn't alone in not wanting to tackle...

oh come on! You would rather he was injured than he has the chance to rectify what he's done so far. That's ridiclous. I definitely would rather its that he doesn't want to tackle. All that would take is a kick up the arse.

Apparently he has never kicked a goal for us, I could have sworn he did last week

Yeah, he did last week, for sure. As soon as the commentator said he still hasn't kicked a goal for St Kilda I was like "WTF! Yes he has!"

Armoooo · Post: # 522434Post **Armoooo** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 3:58pm

Howard's pace seems to be quite overrated, no defensive pressure whatsoever...

ausfatcat · Post: # 522435Post **ausfatcat** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 3:59pm

armatige pulled out a free kick

Darren · Post: # 522436Post **Darren** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 3:59pm

Free kick to Armo for an off-the-ball incident. GOAL!!

after a hard preseason I would hope he would be going nuts wanting to make the best 22....

hey was that a report on armo? accidental boot or deliberate, would hate to lose him when he is starting to play better....

anyway he gets a goal

Armoooo · Post: # 522438Post **Armoooo** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 3:59pm

A bit of tension, Armo accidentally kicked Mackie ala Hodge-Lappin last year and in retaliation Mackie got Armo in a headlock,,,
Armo kicked his first goal for St.Kilda

36-22

mad saint guy · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:00pm

Schwarz reckons Armo is gone. Anything in it?

Armoooo · Post: # 522440Post **Armoooo** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:00pm

I'm pretty sure only Mackie got reported, however Armo could have a case to answer...

David Schwarze? He's a moron, I swear. xD

Armoooo · Post: # 522442Post **Armoooo** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:01pm

Geary is a starting 22 player, enough said...

mad saint guy wrote:Schwarz reckons Armo is gone. Anything in it?

I would say not, Hodge didn't get in trouble last year and his was deliberate and kept Lappin out of it for a month, Armo didn't even know the player was there....

Darren · Post: # 522444Post **Darren** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:02pm

In the back against Geelong, and got 50 metres aswell. Kosi going for goal. and another 50 metre penalty! Worth 9 points and kicks a goal.

Armoooo · Post: # 522445Post **Armoooo** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:02pm

50 against Lonergan, Kosi lining up for goal.....
Super goal....
36-31

ausfatcat · Post: # 522446Post **ausfatcat** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:02pm

2*50 metres to kosi = supergoal.

Armoooo · Post: # 522447Post **Armoooo** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:03pm

Geelong also with ISC, they could be on the money this year...

markinUSA · Post: # 522448Post **markinUSA** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:03pm

Well, Kosi is a great man and has kicked a supergoal!

It's 31 to 36... we're back in the game.

It certainly does seem that we are kicking to the scoring end - despite the TV's dismissal of the idea that there is any breeze

OneEyedSainter77 · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:03pm

lol, bet there's no complaints about stupid pre-season rules now is there?

Imo, I hate the soft 50 m 9 pointer goal. They say the MOTM has to be outside 50 for it to be a supergoal but when they call a 50m penalty , he's INSIDE the fifty, that's just contradictory.... but I'll take it.
