3-4 weeks for Gehrig...

Darren · Post: # 522503Post **Darren** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:18pm

Fox reports that Gehrig has a left calf injury, 3-4 weeks

OneEyedSainter77 · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:18pm

You know, I'm happy with this so far. We're tackling hard, we're putting pressure on them and we're playing goood footy. Great signs so far.

Has armo gone off or missing?

I think he has gone off for Monty to come on...

Hawkins is having a dirty day so far, hopefully it stays that way...

Oh When the Saints · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:21pm

A lot of our less skillful players getting it - Baker, Gilbert, Jones etc. which isn't help us.

As soon as Joey, Dal and Gram combine, we move it forward easily.

Great mark Kosi on the siren

mad saint guy · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:21pm

Kosi with his 4th. Dominating the air.

Armoooo · Post: # 522512Post **Armoooo** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:21pm

Kosi is the man of the match already, lining up for another from 7 out...
Geelong have no one to go with him...
A 4th??? goal after the siren...
59-43...
Let's hope we can survive the last quarter...

Darren · Post: # 522513Post **Darren** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:21pm

Kosi kicked a goal after the siren. Scores are STK 2.6.5 59 to GEEL 2.3.7 43

ausfatcat · Post: # 522514Post **ausfatcat** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:22pm

AFl site doesn't count the super goals on the stats page.

markinUSA · Post: # 522515Post **markinUSA** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:22pm

Kosi is an awesome forward - he can turn on absolutely dominant peformances, and his half of football was ... I'm lost for words... awesome.

Oh When the Saints · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:25pm

Bakes and Max have had alot of the ball but I wish they hadnt. Skills are ordinary. Need to get it to our more skilled players.

mad saint guy · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:26pm

Will be interesting to see who plays up forward if Kosi needs a rest. We'll probably see Gardiner CHF, Allen FF and van Rheenen FP at some stage.

Solar · Post: # 522524Post **Solar** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:27pm

good signs for maxy

kosi marks and kicks a goal, 4 goals in a half.

59 - 43

geary getting tons of uncontested possies which is a great sign that he is pushing himself to get to receieve!

gram came into it alot more in that quarter, same with fizz. joey racking up decient stats but dal really needs to step up as a senior player imo.

rooke? running off milne too much and he needs to sacrifice his game next quarter and show he can shut down a good player. That or give the job to the likes of jones.

armo has had a great game and I tip my lid. His fitness and ability to get to more contests has been impressive and the tackles shows his willingness to work hard.

shame about G but with roo back next week and charlie playing well its short term pain, really G is just the icing on the cake presently.

The defence seems to be playing really well, it's hard to know but there seems to be alot of contests which is a great sign.

important next quarter not just for this game but to see where some of these youngsters are at. If they can keep up this intensity for the ball and man they will push for round 1 selection.

Not sure VR would provide anything up forward. Allen, Gardiner and smalls.

Which station is better for those listening to the game on radio?

Krock or SEN

Raven · Post: # 522528Post **Raven** » Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:29pm

I actually feel a bit breathless watching this. I know it's only a pre-season game, but it's the reigning premiers, and we have real hope to beat them. Imagine the morale boost if we win, not to mention new memberships!

Oh When the Saints · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:29pm

Maxie, Bakes, Jones, Gilbo getting a lot of the ball doesn't help, as their skills aren't terrific.

But Hudghton is playing a great game - not only because he's had a bit of the footy, but he's killed Hawkins.

mad saint guy · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:29pm

Geelong wining ruck 5 hitouts to 16.

Chivers, Connors, Steven, van Rheenen all yet to get a disposal.

Life Long Saint · Sat 23 Feb 2008 4:30pm

Rix during the 2nd quarter...Handballs to a team mate and stands still while a Geelong player runs around him to put pressure on the ball carrier. This demonstrates that he is not a natural footballer. A footballer would instinctively give the handball off and shepherd the ball carrier.

Blake...too many handballs to players under more pressure than him.

Both he and Rix are Patsy Clines when we play a team that puts a bit pressure on. (For those young 'uns...Pasty Cline's big hit was "I Fall To Pieces")

Armitage, Kosi, Baker, Dal and Gram are all doing well.

Great intensity from the Saints that quarter...Skills are not there yet...But it is only February.

In their defence Conners and Chivers dont look like they have been on the ground.
