Re: Saints v Blues Match Thread in Welly
Saints by 25. Great first qtr. A really high work rate and lots of pressure. Bit worried about the Blues backmen running it out. Need to keep shutting them down with pressure. I thought Paddy Mac was fantastic as a focal point - and the marks are sticking this week! the blues defenders having to go up in numbers to try and stop him. Armo, Dunstan, Newnes, Steven, Curren all playing well out of the middle and getting it done. Makes such a difference when mids are on top. Backline playing well too despite a few sloppy turnovers. I expect Carltons workrate to go up a notch with a Mick blast. Their class still worries me.

Re: Saints v Blues Match Thread in Welly
5 quarters won this season now. Which is good, let's hope we can add another 3 to that total.
Interesting, Carlton's usual suspects are doing well, but getting no support, where we have a very balanced effort.

Re: Saints v Blues Match Thread in Welly
Great first quarter from Geary. Paddy, Bruce and members providing a great contest up forward. Great to see billings getting some ball, turned it over a bit but good to see him getting his hands on it.
If at first you don't succeed, sky diving is not for you.

Re: Saints v Blues Match Thread in Welly
Really starting to see the future in some of these lads.
Bruce is starting to look so comfortable up front. Membrey and McCartin both look promising.
The four young Jacks all look like long term players (Lonie dropping off a bit though from his strong pre-season form).
We have a lot of quality players to build around at the moment And I can't wait to see Goddard and Acres break into this side.

I have BM on my Ignore list but unfortunately I can still his post when quoted. The only embarrassment is him. The crowd is fine and the whole NZ experiment requires all of us supporters to get behind it and actually help make it work.....rather than hoping that it fails.magnifisaint wrote:Don't you remember the crowds when Fitzroy were playing Melbourne at the MCG.

FFS Geary.
Your disposal is a complete liability.
Cost us a goal with a pathetic disposal

Playing good footy today. Very happy to see the effort. Blues really trying to block us in the corridor.
Blues should be ashamed hardened 5plus season players getting wreaked by a lot of new kids. Bury them and it's good bye mick sookhouse

Got to keep shutting down their run with tackles or pressure or they will kill us.

Re: Saints v Blues Match Thread in Welly
And that unfortunately is the problem with Geary. Absolutely horrendous. Momentum changes and they're all over us as a result.

Re: Saints v Blues Match Thread in Welly
Very poor delivery inside 50 from Steven lead to that turnover and goal. Annoying
