Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 1 2017
seems a bit strange. but we're a better team without him at the moment. he's no roo! if we're genuinely gunning for finals we need our best team out there.
lonie over acres is interesting though.

IMHO we are an even better team without Lonie playing. He must have photos.desertsaint wrote:seems a bit strange. but we're a better team without him at the moment. he's no roo! if we're genuinely gunning for finals we need our best team out there.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 1 2017
The answer to Lonie's selection may be at page 32 of the Footy Record. Last year ranked 1 at Saints and 6 in AFL for forward half pressure acts per game. The stuff Richo loves.

What about the Gresh? An early contender for goal of the year!
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Lonie having a blinder.
So glad he's playing ahead of Acres.
Not sure where we'd be without his 5 touches

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 1 2017
very poor quarter. need to be much cleaner. it'll come down to whether we have the fitness to apply pressure all next half. we let the dees control the speed of the game. carlisle needs to get involved as well.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 1 2017
Saints losing 57 to 50 at half time. 6 goals in a row to the demons
Midfield really need to lift as no one is getting any numbers. Jackie boy has only had 10, Ross 10 and Dunstan 7. Not good enough for our supposed "best' midfield.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 1 2017
wtf happened in the 2nd qtr.
Mav missed 2 goals
Gresh missed set shot
Melb playing all over us
Gawn killing us in the ruck
Melb smashing us in clearances
Jake Carlisle doing nothing
N Brown missing in action
Can't see Jack Steele anywhere, what's his problem
Jack Steven must have a hard tag, he only got 3 kicks in 2nd qtr, and those were to open space in front of 3 Melb players?

How many times can they kick it over the back to find a free man?
