roo and charlie were awesome in their work after their break
Kosi started looking the player he used to be. Perhaps having allen stand up in that second half allowed roo and kosi to run around a little more
milne started to get it in his head that he's a crumber, awesome second half
Dal worked hard, no suprise that good things come to those who work hard
CJ's tackling was awesome
Maxy was awesome on thompson in that final quarter
mini, ball, eddy all did great work in close
BJ has a quiet night yet still made an impact with his body in that final quarter

WTF??? Mini shut down the very dangerous Harvey after half time. You watching the same game??BigMart wrote:He played in defence most of the night - 70% of his touches were out of defence....
Eddy, Allen, McQualter all had quiet nights 31 touches between them...
Gardner was POOR!
Kosi had the freedom to play in the ruck, which allows him to get involved - he is a CONFIDENCE player
Riewoldt was BOG
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

eddy and mini did more then just get touches, they did jobs and used their bodies well
gardiner worked his heart out and started to play on a little more
BJ played on ball in that second half. Suprisingly midfielders actualy drift back as well as run forward....

Agree 100%. Alot of our players McQ, Gardiner, CJ were very ordinary but they still put in the team things. Makes a huge difference.QuestionOfAccuracy wrote:The main thing was that the guys that didn't play "great" still really contributed with the "one-percenters" and all the team-oriented things. Hopefully our efforts in the "one percenters" tonight is the expected standard for the rest of the season.

If Allen is a walk up start....I hope he gets more than 1 kick....
He did break one pack....and bought the ball down on a few occasions...
But will make way next game.....as will Eddy, Charlie Gardiner and maybe McQualter....
Hayes, Schnieder, M.Gardiner will return and X might....Baker will be close.

McQualter had 14 touches, 10 came after half time. While Harvey had the edge on Mini, the perseverence allowed McQualter to eventually come into the game, and he wasn't alone in having a much better 2nd half than first.yipper wrote:WTF???

Would think Eddy will struggle to retain his spot from Hayes, Allen from Gardiner, but would think other than that we'd be unlikely to make too many changes after the break.
Would even wonder about rushing Michael Gardiner back given Carlton doesn't play a tap ruckman, and Kosi looked good as our 2nd ruckman tonight, and it made a big difference to actually have a forward line in the 2nd half, a contribution from Allen even if he couldn't get his hands on it.
I was more excited about winning that by the end than I can remember being about a Saints win in some time.

Re: 2 players who turned the game..
I think Joey has improved out of sight in the last two weeks. 8 tackles last week and three really important tackles in the last 5 minutes tonight. Less possessions and more grunt. Much better effort from Joey.Sam23 wrote:Nick Dal Santo
