I reckon he saw it on TV. Healy saw it as well.

A life?
I'm sorry. I thought you were commenting on the free. I didn't realise you were continuing the personal attack.

Yep.

Years yet.

We need to rest Riewoldt every time he gets the slightest niggle.

Know he was due for a rest, but think we are missing Lonie's pressure in the forward line.

Possessions now -70 by Saints tackles -15 (46 being only marginally better than Carlton against the Hawks), Clearances -10, Contested possession -19. All these were close at half time.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Is Templet on really up to it. Young so has time but not what he has that is special.

Well at least this game should put an end to the Hickey v longer debate.
It won't, and Hick will be dropped at the next opportunity, but he is miles better than longer. Has that rare ability to actually get the ball.

Schneider. Should have done better after Savage surged through the middle. Stop, prop, lIttle dinky up in air kick.

Needs the dreads back. He is like Samson. Just looks way off it. Not sure why we are playing him ahead of Acres or Minch.

Bruce keeps his record of a goal in every game this year.

Neither have a massive effect on the game. Longer does provide good inside pressure at times. Both ruckmen don't take enough marks or kick goals. Longer isn't too bad of a tap ruckman but gets muscled out at times.

Hickey seems to have loose hands. Not a strong first grab, make be alright at ground level but not effective with his disposals.

I still think one ruckman at this stage unless one learns to kick goals or becomes more damaging around the ground. Currently were not there.
