Yeah, I love the Justin TV too.
It's my first time watching.
Free to WCE, but their disposal is bad. CJ does a great job bustling,
then they bomb it and Gilbo marks.

Gram has it on the boundary.
Gram has 10 kicks, 4 marks.

Score is 74 to Saints, 29 to tankers.
We are dobule their score, they look sloppy and our pressure looks great.

We look really skillful too... hard yes, but also so goos at kicking.

Roo BEAUTIFUL pass to Kosi. He is right in front, but about 40 out, I think.

Kosi GOALS!!!!!! his third.

solid half of footy... fair few empty seats though, I guess people have gone away for easter.
really impressed with the accuracy being shown, and the awareness of the team, knowing who's around, and giving it off to team mates in better positions etc.

I'm loving this game

markinUSA · Post: # 721427Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:20pm

The siren blows as a group of Sainters including Gram gang tackle one of them near their goalsquare. Go you Sainters!!!!

Standing ovation for the boys. And well deserved it was!

We have kicked SO MANY goals... this is our high pressure, high scoring game... marvellous to watch.

Skillful, fast, hard... bloody brilliant!!!!!!!!

Buckets · Post: # 721428Post **Buckets** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:20pm

Best quarter ever by the Saints against the Eagles 10.0! GO THE MIGHTY SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!

claystreet · Post: # 721429Post **claystreet** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:20pm

WOW what an effort what a 1/2 of pressure footy

Leave No Prisoners

markinUSA · Post: # 721430Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:23pm

The stars of the show have been Goddard, particularly his work in the forward line in the first quarter; Montagna, who has been on fire; Jones with a great tagging game; and james Gwilt may have surprised some with 15 possessions so far, great kicking, 7 marks, and 2 tackles.

It's a team game, and the mighty Saints are playing as a team... a great team.

If you can, video this game. We're good, very good.

It's been a long long time since I've seen a Saints team SO polished, so good.

SteveStevens66 · Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:25pm

gday markinusa,

Told you you'd like Justin.TV.

Great half of footy from the boys. Really pumped!

John

Badlands · Post: # 721432Post **Badlands** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:26pm

Wow. What a half.
Sam Gilbert gets better with every game.

markinUSA · Post: # 721433Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:27pm

Only three of their players have 10 or more possessions:

Cox with 16 and 14 hit outs, kerr with 10, and Priddis with 15.

In total, we have had FAR more kicks than them.

We have only had 19 more handballs than them (89 to 70), but we have had almost twice the number of kicks (132 to 76). This is why we've been able to move the ball so fast. And our ferocious tackling is marvellous too.

markinUSA · Post: # 721434Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:30pm

G'day stevestevens. Yep, Justintv...it's terrific!

desertsaint · Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:31pm

Loving the high scoring game - let's hope we keep it up and kick 25 odd goals!

Munga · Post: # 721436Post **Munga** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:34pm

KOSI how many weeks? Did anyone else see what happened in the first 20 seconds? Eagle player on the ground, Kosi just punches him in the head, he possibly just brushed the head, but it looks bad.

Wow, great performance by so many. Not just 3-5, but heaps. Thats the difference, its been a great performance by many.
Gwilt is looking good as well.

Riewoldt doesn't look like he wants to kick for goals, which is a worry, but he has had 2 or 3 assists.

Kosi, not only has he had 3 goals, but he is crashing the packs and creating oppurtunities to all the small forwards.

And Jones 14 possies and keeping Kerr to only 10. Spectacular. And 8 tackles so far.

Plenty more star peformances as well.

markinUSA · Post: # 721439Post **markinUSA** » Sat 11 Apr 2009 4:36pm

Munga... I saw that... I couldn't 100% identify who it was.

Looked like a punch in the face to me.
The WCE player yelled "Hey ump" when he did it.
Certainly will be looked at.

Didn't seem to cause much harm though - hopefully just considered a 'low impact' thing.
