Higgins -Sainter of the Round

[WellardSaint]

He beat Skunk, who got 2 votes

Skunk leads the club in goals this yr (not sure if he leads in behinds scored)
Higgins is 2nd with 17.

Coulda been clubhouse leader, but that's in another thread, yeah?

[Sainter_Dad]

LOL - Head scratcher that one - sure he got to the right positions - got plenty of the ball - but to reward 1.6 makes me worry for our club.

Members does lead the goal kicking but is 18.18 even with that shocker Higgins is 17.13

I would have thought Steele or Crouch were more on track for what the club should stand for:

Player	G	B	D	K	H	M	T	CL	MG	GA's
Jack Steele	1	0	31	18	13	5	9	8	467	0
Brad Crouch	0	0	38	14	24	5	7	7	302	1

Particularly the tackles - 16 between them

Some commentators are calling him 'MIssy' which is a bit cruel, but kind of funny.

Although the club apparently doesn't see the funny side and has made a complaint.

It's been such a weird season of footy and about to get even weirder if Membrey, Gears, Ross and big Maxxy miss the Crows game.

I thought that might be a win for us but now not so sure. Who have we got to replace them?

Lol. I think it will stick. He’s a good player and will rise above it.

[B.M]

That’s laughable

You can't kick 1-6 and be named Sainter of the round.
Sorry Higgins but you broke my heart on Saturday

[Wayne42]

If Ratts reminds me of Benny Hill then Leftlean definitely reminds me of Jerry Lewis.

If ever there was a sign that not only do we accept mediocrity but bloody reward it

Joke

[bangaulegend]

I thought he was very good don't know about sainter of the round but compared to Clark ,Billings ,Coffield,King,Butler,Battle I could go on but I think you get the idea

It's the 'woke' brigade rewarding intent but not result.
Junior football, like under 9s, aren't allowed to keep track of goals because it's all about participation.
We're the same.
The club is foolish

[skeptic]

I reckon Higgins has by and large been an excellent recruit.

Really like the kid. Hope he works on them set shots though

I've highlighted your comment re Higgins because I just want to add to it.

Something that gets missed with Jack's misses is that he attempted a couple of ridiculous shots earlier in the game.

So once he had a few behinds mounting up on his total tally, he had started to create the pressure for himself.

Do the team thing always. All players need to be disciplined.

If he was disciplined and didn't attempt to score from impossible angles it might help the team and of course it will also take the pressure off himself

I also think Steele and Crouch performed their roles better. I agree with everything you've said and others who are rightly criticising the club.

[freely]

Surely this was in the nature of a Bronx cheer.

[Jacks Back]

St Kilda - Rewarding mediocrity

[desertsaint]

He's been good and will be better. But as said, you dont reward a forward for 1-6.

The Club didn't award him Sainter of the Round, members did. Accuracy aside, he was a shining light in the forward line and played his guts out.

[Enrico_Misso]

Embarrassing.
Surely those voting for him were taking the piss?

Did they also vote Seb for best goal of the day attempt?

[CURLY]

Yep unsure how this changes anything. Doubt he receives anything other than some little trophy.

Yep. Guess ignorance is bliss around here though.
