McEvoy the Hero
I am surprised no one has mentioned about the Hero last night. It was a remarkable play by Ben with 12 sec. to go to win the Tap & kick the Goal.
Had it been a Joey or Roo we all would be writing article after article.
Come on Sainters let’s give credit where it is due.
For the record we have not lost a game in last 15 games when he has played. I am sure he is close to break the record of playing consecutive games without a loss.
Even Ross was mentioning in his press conference that in Hind sight we should not have dropped him last week against the Filthwoods.

well said, it was a great goal for a big man and he should receive the accolades he deservesmohannair wrote:I am surprised no one has mentioned about the Hero last night. It was a remarkable play by Ben with 12 sec. to go to win the Tap & kick the Goal.

He played against Essendon this year which would have been his 15th win in succession.mohannair wrote: For the record we have not lost a game in last 15 games when he has played. I am sure he is close to break the record of playing consecutive games without a loss.
Some interesting records or near records on this page

Benny equal sixth on all time games before first loss with 14.
Trevor Barker leads the all time list for most games without a final.
Geoff Cunningham is second.

Jason Gram has played in more winning Saints teams than Trevor Barker.

I think we are going to see McEvoy step up to another level now.

A rather useless stat that, considering Barks played in a very ordinary period of our club's history.kosifantutti23 wrote:Jason Gram has played in more winning Saints teams than Trevor Barker.

as I said in the other thread ...
the real hero?
take a look at the tape
the real hero is the player than blocked Skippers path and created the hole for McEvoy to run into
I shall give you a clue ... he is a very handy ruck / forward

Riewoldt's role should not be forgotten either. That centering kick leading to the ball up was under a lot of pressure and he got a lot on that ball kicking round the corner. Really would have tested the hammies.
It all would have been a lot simpler if the umpire had paid the free to Milne for in the back.
