Saints v Blues

[Impatient Sainter]

Gees we are going to miss Paton. Long and Webster have been horrible. Webster falls over constantly allowing the opposition easy possessions. Long looks really out of form.

[bigcarl]

Blues are all over us here

[BigD]

Lucky they aren’t kicking straight

[Impatient Sainter]

We stopped running that 1/4 - Carlton were all over us.

[saintbob]

Horrible quarter of footy

[DJ Higgins]

fatigue setting in

[Ghost Like]

Crouch has been underwhelming. Bytel has been more noticeable and he hasn't been on yet.

[SAINT-LEE]

Lucky we aren't kicking straight matey.

Don't go eating a bag of d*cks in the preseason....plenty to like.
Lots of players need to lift as they get true match fit in body & mind.

Players like Hill looked sh!t hot in 2020 preseason and just cruised most games so hopefully we won't be fire hot or ice cold...just consistent.

Consistency wins matches.

I could bag players and applaud others but its our first preseason game and I dont think its too bad.

Carlton are a damn good team with some rippa lads Id love to have on our side.

[saynta]

Ah dang, I forgot this was on!

Anyone have a quick breakdown of the first half? Who’s looking good / bad?

I’m liking the accuracy!

Tough s***

[shanegrambeau]

Judging by your comments, and Frawley’s injury really hope Robertson surprises and comes back.

[therabbitinthehat]

The metres gained stat is pretty frightening, Hill just dominating

Player MG ToG%

Not watching but checking the score occasionally so isn't the fact that we're -- at least according to observers watching the game -- playing in 2nd or 3rd gear AND winning by 4 goals a good sign?

Maxxy King with 3, Lones with 4.

Think positive thoughts, Saints fans. We can only get better.

[bigcarl]

Getting run over here. No legs. Need to find something. Don’t want to lose to this mob even in a practice match

Wow, you really are a d*ckhead hey

[The_Dud]

Lots of positives, but obviously conceding 100 points isn’t ideal.

It’s only a praccy match tho

[samoht]

Too many cooks inside midfielders spoil the broth balance.

[roskilde]

Looking at the stats it looks like Battle has been pretty quiet.

Good opponent? Bad day at the office?

Also what position has he been playing?

[samoht]

Zac Williams instead of Crouch any day.

[bigcarl]

What is wrong with King’s foot/ankle? Saw him coming off with it bandaged

[The_Dud]

Zac Williams instead of Crouch any day.

Yeah Crouch was probably the biggest disappointment tonight. Tho they did seem to be playing him up forward a bit for some reason?

[BigD]

Oops King walking off with ice bag on ankle

Long's not out of Form. He's just playing the way he has for 5 years.

[Otiman]

Battle playing forward and not really his game tonight.
Crouch 61% game time did OK it's not easy to fit into a midfield in a new club.

The worry is that where we needed someone to shutdown Fisher, Williams and SIlvagni, we weren't able to do it.

He looked to tweak it in a marking contest in the 3rd (or maybe early 4th?), but stayed on a kicked a goal later in the 4th so hopefully nothing too serious.

A damn good team? They won seven games last year. On what basis do you rate them a good team? They are shyte and have been for two decades.

If we don't beat them we are in trouble. At least Longy hardly got a touch. How did you rate his amazing performance?
