Match Thread: Saints vs Lions Gabba 2015

[Bunk_Moreland]

Just about to fly home after a month in Europe.

Will look forward to watching the replay.

Lonie is a gun. Going to be better than Milne.

Big call. Seems more reliable early in his career.

At the same stage of their careers Lonie is in front by the length of the Flemington straight.

I think your memory is fading. Stats suggest Milne is in front.

Maybe but everything Lonie does is class.

As opposed to the lack of class of Milney.

He's much cleaner with the ball than Milne. Don't think Milne ever laid a tackle.

Absolute rubbish. In 2009 Sneids and Milney had little bets on who would get the most tackles. Milney won his share. I will agree that he struggled hold tackles earlier in his career.

Geez haven't seen Schnieder stick a tackle. Anyway Lonie will be better.

Lonie's 8 games so far have been pretty promising.

I'll take a retrospective review of his career after he has played 275 games and kicked 574 goals.

A few snapped goals and some gutsy tackles just doesn't warrant comparison at this stage.

[samuraisaint]

I think we can now safely rule out another spoon.
Blues Lions and Suns will fight that one out.

and maybe Melbourne.

True - but I love the way he stays on his feet and never looses balances when chasing multiple opponents tackle to tackle - the 2 guys he stitched up late in the second ? Was one of the best chase downs I think I have ever seen

Great win, club was pretty confident going in. Obviously a few sore and sorry boys after the game. Hick with a pretty sore knee.

Anything to worry about Tony? How did D Mac pull up? And can you shed any light on Savages omission?

[tony74]

No Hick will be right. Macca pulled up really well but the morning will tell. Savage- simple rotations, nothing to worry about.

[8856brother]

Thanks mate. All good news then today apart from probably Mavs incident.

Jack is an angry little man too! I was watching him behind the play and he was niggling away at his oppenent. He's like a mossie that won't stay away from your veins out on the patio

What great drafting last year

LONIE - star
SINCLAIR - star bargain!!
MCKENZIE - what balls to take that mark

All are fast skillful and TOUGH AS NAILS!!!
And we have two KPPs to come as well!!!

Could not be happier.
Bains and team keep it up!!

[magnifisaint]

Seems like we didn't beat much. Adcock, C Beams, Aish and Rockliff were all injured during the game. Aish had a broken jaw so would have been painful just running around. Maybe we shouldn't get too excited as they were severely hampered.
