Siposs lovely grab from a clearing kick out of centre, 45 out on a slight angle. Nailed it. We could have used some of that last night!

Smith injuried right knee....

Running/jogging now

MadSaintFan · Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:13pm

This is how good we're going at the minute. Sandy have 3 injuries, all 3 are stkilda players. Al Smith, Jarryn Geary and Paul Cahill

Hows lynch coming along?

St Chris · Post: # 1055642Post **St Chris** » Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:17pm

Al Smith back on . . . . phew

thequarry · Post: # 1055643Post **thequarry** » Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:17pm

Smith back on...

Lynch doing very nicely across half back - clean possession and having a real presence in the air and in play.

Smith alright, Doctors were concerned about a medial but he's back on.
Lynch is having a decent game, bit quieter in the second quarter but the ball has spent most of the time in Sandis forward half. Sipposs has had a good quarter.
EDIT: Pretty much as above

Excellent, Thanks

Lynch and steven probably pick of the bunch. Too many players though get the ball from 70 out and just boot it to like 4 coburg players.. and some dont just do it once.

Sam23 · Post: # 1055650Post **Sam23** » Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:26pm

Cripps doing OK as well. Looks fast?

Lynch doing well from half back but butchering the ball a bit.

Eddy/McQualter are doing OK.

Sippos couple of good goals.

Heyne been OK but just isn't AFL standard to my eye? Good goal.

Stanley isn't a ruckman.

Solar · Post: # 1055651Post **Solar** » Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:31pm

Steven and cripps a level above. Sipposs looks like he has something and worth working with. Winmar has the balance, smarts and kicking action to make the grade. Heyne looked good in patches. Sandy seemed to rush a little and not use the wind better.

Walsh has been very good and simpkin servicable. Where is schneider?

MadSaintFan · Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:33pm

Sipposs looks like he has something a little special. Lovely kick for goal which I mentioned when he was drafted. Beautiful action.

Hes 189cm, quick and knows where the goals are. Something to look forward to.

Saintersss · Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:37pm

I think a few people on here are seeing what they want to see. The only players who so far deserve to play next week are Steven and Lynch. Cripps has shown pace, but also had 3-4 clangers. Not saying he is a bad player, but he still has to show more before he is in the 1sts.

SaintSimmo · Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:41pm

If Siposs performs well in the second half do we give him a go in the forward line couldn't do much worse than vegas (gamble).

Players in line for next (on first half form)
- STEVEN (If he doesnt play next week, something is wrong with the world)
-LYNCH (not sure where he would play in our side but looks ok atm)
- CRIPPS
- SMITH
- JOHNSON (looking good)

Even players like
- Walsh
- Simpkin
- Siposs
are working their ways into the side

also whats up with schiends and why isnt kosi getting a run at sandy get some time into his legs?

Mini & Eddy are playing far too much like Mini & Eddy!

Geray maybe a broken leg.... St Kilda staff not happy with the ground

Moorabbin Saints · Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:42pm

Geary suspected broken leg.

And we complained about the state of TBO.

wraiyth · Post: # 1055663Post **wraiyth** » Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:42pm

Boundary riders say that Geary has a suspected broken leg.

Calais · Post: # 1055664Post **Calais** » Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:42pm

Did I just hear Geary down with a broken leg?

dont think kosi will be back till after the bye

SaintSimmo · Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:44pm

tbh i dont think geary adds much to our side at this stage in his career turns it over to often and doesnt make good decisions. but it is a shame to see him go down with that injury

backit · Post: # 1055669Post **backit** » Sat 02 Apr 2011 2:44pm

Stanley has given away 4-5 free kicks all reckless and is not a ruckman and is being caught a lot under the ball. Walsh is a bang and crash man who whilst has made position well a few times has a long way to go. Stevens has got some possesions but is not dominating like he should, he has now played 44 VFL games and only 9 AFL games. McQualter is getting the ball but his disposal has been poor like most of the saints players. Winmar early showed poor skills kicking the ball out, having a kick smothered and does not sem interested in throwing himself in. tackling by Saints Players is non existant compared to Sandy players. To me no-one is really knocking the door down. Richmond listed players are ahead of our listed players.
