Re: The Cattery on Saturday

Memories here...
Round 10 1999, under Timmy Watson.
Saints defeated Cats by 10 points at K Park, despite being 19 points down at 3/4 time.

Re: mmmmmm- Umpire Movement Rd 9

Correct move AFL. Of course its cold comfort to know the margin was 3 goals. Umpires fortunately do not effect the result of games, which is a relief given some decisions. Hard to claim they don't effect percentage though. But it can effect momentum those 2 goals in the first quarter gave them huge...

Re: Lock for Bottom 4?

Is it just me, or does the current game style look similar to the "100% defensive pressure" style that Ross Lyon brought to the club 10 years ago? For long periods of Sunday's match Hawthorn simply couldn't score. In the last quarter, the Hawks didn't kick a goal. Last year, Saints were 2n...

Re: Plugger Lockett Fans

Winmar goal at 13:30...those were the days.
Plugger kicked 898 goals for the Saints...half of them must be on these highlights.
Fantastic effort by whoever had the raw footage and the patience to stitch it all together.

Re: So who was that for

Loved the chasedowns, the run to position, the belief, the physicality, the pressure, that all made Hawthorn look like just another side. (And the Hawks were being tipped as serious rivals to Richmond). Some of the usual faults came to the surface, but it was the best they've played for a month, and...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dawks Round 22 2018

Hawks are gunning for four points and percentage to cement Top Four. They will be looking for a 70+ point victory. Saints game-plan has hardly worked all year. Tonight is the night to throw out that game-plan, and instead go on-on-one across the ground for all four quarters. Play as if we were still...

Re: Words fail me

Fans will forgive almost anything as long as their team is competitive. But there was little sign of that in the 3rd quarter capitulation. Harks back to the dimmest days of the reigns of Scott Watters, Tim Watson and even Ken Sheldon. Members around me on level 3 all unhappy, and puzzled why the out...

Re: Small crowd

Metro line closures east of city would have kept a few fans away.
Replacement buses between Camberwell and city added 30 minutes to journey time each way.
I know - I was dopey enough to take the replacement bus and arrived 20 mins into 1st quarter.

Re: A win is win but we struggled at times

Thought the team played through the centre of the ground a lot more, and tried kicking low to targets in the F50, rather than the famous St Kilda bombs. Brisbane were actually pretty good for 3/4 of the match. They had a few collective brain fades, letting Saints get in behind their defenders when t...

Re: Sack Dixon!

The word to describe Saints in 2017 was "wasteful". Jack Billings - 23.36 Jade Gresham - 30.30 Josh Bruce - 36.27 Mav Weller - 11.18. Team for the season kicked 271.250. (Nick Riewoldt 29.12) Lack of composure going forward and in set shots cost plenty in percentage, but it looks like it o...
