Match Thread Saints v Tigers Round 4 2020

[The_Dud]

Greshem, Ross, Hannerbry and Howard were the most disappointing for mine, though most did something and contributed.

Really like the ruck setup with Marshall as the number 1, he’s only going to get better.

King was a bit quieter but competed well and probably should have gotten a goal if he hung on to that mark in the goal square.

Battle did enough to keep his spot too.

[Laurie]

Great 4 quarter effort .
Well done guys lets keep the ball rolling into the rest of the season.
Well done

[saintkid]

It would be nice to see DH start to earn the $800k a season we pay him. Hasn’t done enough for even top 10 money since he walked in the door.

Totally agree. They have done well with most of the player salaries but the Hannebery deal is a still looking bad and is way off the mark. I also think Billings is not worthy of his contract either. Jones played a better game than both of them combined today.

[Enrico_Misso]

Won all 4 quarter!

[kosifantutti]

Great result after last week’s effort. Did we finish with 20 fit players?

[Lennylegs]

Jono Marsh is not up it I'm afraid.

Marsh was brought in to do a job on Grimes. Grimes hardly had an influence. Plus Marsh became a scoring threat. Perfect game by him. Did his job. If don't see that, then you weren't watching.

[Special]

As Big Kev said, I’M EXCITED!!

Love Butler and Marsh surprised me.

Battle did well and Marshall was outstanding

Can't believe some of the negativity in this thread.

If you can't see the value in some of the recruits, you're not paying attention to the broader club change and form and are just looking for something to be critical about.

Especially when the exact details of all our players contracts aren't known.

Pull your heads in and enjoy the moment.

100% agreed!!!

Bit harsh on Billings, easily most touches for us today (25) and Jones didn’t do anything for mine, and spent the end of the game on the bench injured.

What happened to Jones anyway? I must have missed when he went down

Yeah not sure, no one really said anything

[MC Gusto]

Fat laaaadddddyyyy

Gee, you've gone early...

Never any doubt!

Go SAINTS

I missed that too but when the game needed a play maker today, Jones did some very good things in close and setting play up in the first half (not sure how you didn't notice that). Billings didn't.

[silverhalo]

Is Marsh playing? Good pick up, that!

Got him for nothing so not critical of the recruitment. Plenty of pace but not much in the way of footy smarts...

Eat your words, he was the mismatch that really troubled the Tigers.

Yep, fair call.....I've already posted that he was much better in the second half

[Sainter_Dad]

Pity Marshall didn’t get three warnings.

Annnnnddd - can someone please re-explain the unrealistic attempt rule to me - I am a little confused after Richmond's efforts tonight!

Yeah. Billings the leading possession winner on the ground. Get a grip on yourself Saintkid. Oh, you've probably got a two handed grip as it is.

Amazes me that we beat the reigning Premier soundly by 26 points but that is not good enough for some "supporters".

[Greg T]

Ripper Win
Even Kent was good

Everone contributed

Is Jones OK?

Slight hammy

Tough call.
Had 2 good weeks.
Kept Howe quiet last week and did a good job on Vlaustin today.

Minor hammy strain.

[BarryGrogan]

And you're off your nut about Hill.

If you believe that a hard ball get or a contested mark is equal to loose ball get then I’m sorry but we must value possessions a bit differently.

He'd be first picked.

'Hard ball get' is like screaming 'Kick the bloody thing!'.

The game has changed. It's a running game.

Really, Billings had the most possession today? Well, clearly a lot of those were cheap ones. Jones, during his time on the ground, played a hell of a lot better today. That's the way I saw it. He needs to do more and show much more consistency.

Honestly all I can remember from Jones tonight was him coughing up the first goal then later on being too worried about what was coming behind him and dropping a mark.

[saynta]

Well done Saints ..Great win.. good even contribution from all the players. Taught those pussies a lesson in commitment.

[Peanut Farm]

Really like Battle in the team, can play both ends & great composure. I'm warming to Long as well. Hunter Clark coming along nicely,same as Coffield.
Seb Ross's dinky kicks are shitting everyone but what a sensational win. If only we had beaten the Roos in rnd 1.
