Great first half Saints.
Been very impressed with the defence to date. Calm and handling Collingwood's forward entries well. Raph played agem of a first Q... attacked well and has taken many marks linking up well with Fish and co.
Harvey's 3 goal assists to Kosi and Roo in the first Q were vintage....great to see and geez he will be missed.
Thought Kosi was stiff more than once with those frees and am not surpised he lost his rag...reported for rough conduct...slung the guy to the ground but not sure if he'll go would like to see it again...
Forward line is operating well. We look cleaner and Milney's 2 goals have got him buzzing.
All in all..very pleasing signs...Keep it going Sainters.

watching here in Tas and the boys look to be playing well...

hats off to Clarke in the first quarter was good and has done some solid things down back since

Kosi started well but been undisciplined, don't think he has too much to worry about with the report, seemed like a fierce tackle, but with the MRP who flippin knows

Goddard been very good, as expected, and Dal getting plenty of the ball, shading Swan in a head to head contest

Reiwoldt kicking well, leading well and providing a great contest when he doesn't mark it.

CJ done a good job on Davis, kept him relatively quiet, but he is still a danger. Cloke has had 2 possessions and largely unsighted.

My 2 Cents worth...

Kosi's hope is that he didn't see the Ball come out

Schillaci · Post: # 642857Post **Schillaci** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 9:55pm

Cloke has had 2 touches for them. Not moving well. Looks like he may be suffering from something???? Touch wood.

Blight and Co on TV reckon Kosi has something to answer for with regards to report....

2 more quarters like that will do.

I'm watching it on telly

We are generally playing well, taking our chances

Collingwood have really been rather lucky to be as close as they are. However, their midfield is probably just outperforming ours. If it wasn't, we would be miles ahead, because their defence can't handle our forward line

But I'm still a bit worried. The young Pies look chock full of running and we are one player down and a few others are a bit crook (Harvey, Blake in particular). There is a risk that they might run over the top of us in the second half. But their defence will presumably still be struggling

Dal, BJ, Raph, Riewoldt, Fisher, CJ (a few awful kicks, but a good job on Davis so far) have caught my eye. R Shaw, Lockyer, to some extent Swan, Anthony (how promising is this bloke?) Have caught my eye for the Pies

Agreed...that was my first thought

SEN just said that Allen won't come back on at all today. Means we are 1 player down for the rest of the game.

Not sure about Harvey... spent a lot of time on the bench in the 2nd quarter... only had 3 possessions in the second half after 7 really effective ones in the first quarter. He had set up 2 or 3 of Roo's goals in the first quarter.

Third quarter about to start.

Be hard to argue that case IMO unfortunately seemed that he would have had ample opportunity to see the ball come out.

On the game, absolutely stoked not leaving anything in the tank Roo running into packs with courage. Dal has been on fire, Raph Blake and Sam and S Fisher have been fantastic CARN THE SAINTS!!!!

markinUSA · Post: # 642863Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 9:59pm

Top stats for us at half time:
Dal 18 possessions, Raph 16, Sam, Gram and Lenny all 14.

markinUSA · Post: # 642864Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:02pm

King has had 16 hitouts, compared to Fraser's 8. But Fraser seems more important around the ground.

markinUSA · Post: # 642866Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:02pm

Schneider aims, 20m out, right in front, kicks a point.
8.2.50 to 35 them.

Buckets · Post: # 642867Post **Buckets** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:03pm

YAPPER GOALS!!!!!!! 56-35

markinUSA · Post: # 642868Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:03pm

Milne kicks a GOAL!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!!!!

21 points in front.
we are 56 they are 35.

markinUSA · Post: # 642869Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:04pm

Travis Cloke seems to be ill, and Blake is becoming very effective - running off him and CLoke can't go with him.

Point to them. 36 to 56 now.

markinUSA · Post: # 642870Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:05pm

Medhurst kicks a point for them. 19 points the difference.

markinUSA · Post: # 642871Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:08pm

Roo is doing really well in terms of marking, and running all day, as usual. He's taken 10 marks.
Harvey kicks towards the goal... backspin, doesn't make the difference, Schneider GOALS!! From one metre out!

We have kicked the last 6 goals of the game! Go Sainters.
Score: 10.2. 62 to 4.13.37

Buckets · Post: # 642872Post **Buckets** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:08pm

Another soft free in the 50 gives the pies a goal their first in 30 minutes.

bigred · Post: # 642873Post **bigred** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:09pm

At least Kos showed some agression.

Need to bust this open saints....now.

markinUSA · Post: # 642874Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:09pm

Cloke lining up, goals for them.
Them 5.13. 43; us 10.2. 62
Still 19 points in front.

markinUSA · Post: # 642875Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:12pm

Both Milne and Roo have 3 goals - good to see our forwards doing well.

Blake is still doing well, 15 possessions.

markinUSA · Post: # 642876Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:14pm

Harves is back on and winning hard ball. Also took an overhead mark. Good to see. He's a tough man, don't you worry.

Armitage also just got a hard ball get - doing that a bit.

Dale Thomas has been off a lot; 43 minutes out of 74.

markinUSA · Post: # 642877Post **markinUSA** » Sat 13 Sep 2008 10:16pm

Free kick to Medhurst, a bit suspect, but he only kicks a point.

They are 5.15. 45. We are 10.2. 62.

Free to Kosi, kicks to Roo in space in the forward pocket. Lines up... he had 3 in the first quarter... GOALS.

That's his fourth for the game.
11.2. 62 now.
