So my favourite yet-to-be-capped Saints player, Choo Choo, kicked 4 in the ressies for Sandy.......who thinks he should be promoted next week to the Sandy ones???

Watch X's hamstring. Definetly pulled up there twice...commentator saying cramp..we'll see

Very unimpressive this week......very poor mistakes

axcellence · Post: # 725688Post **axcellence** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:13pm

Stanley hasn't been terrible either... some shonky kicks.. but still good composure...

Begley has done some nice things as well.

Mr Magic · Post: # 725689Post **Mr Magic** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:13pm

Sandy up 59 to 52 at 3 qtr time.

Begley still playing well.
Armo had some touches late in the qtr.

Goose continuing to get better.

Stanley had a purple patch for about 5 minutes - he's very raw - makes Big Mac look like a seasoned veteran!

Lynch still presenting well.

Eljay had some nice minutes at the end of teh qtr.

it's cramp on x

ran very well through the middle and was unlucky not to get the ball back to kick for goal

saints players starting to get into the game in that last 10 mins of the third

sheesh stanley is bloody impressive. Good skills and knows where to go for a first year ruckman! I can see both he and macca controlling the rucks in 3 years time

armo slowly worked into it

goose was good

not a great day for the forwards but lynch is a very smart footballer. Anyone know how hard he works off the ball because he works into space very very well. Stood up well when sautner went down.

LJ did a couple of things and improved as the quarter went on.

heyne's kicking is CJ like IMO

Maguire is second highest posession getter for Sandy- w/ 10 marks.

Clarke third.

Those two are definately standouts in this fairly lackluster game.

Gee....Sandy arent very Saunter-conscious are they lol???

Thought Begley, X (20 touches) and Mac the best of the Saints.

Agree on Stanley..theres something there for sure..can find the footy and has quite deft hands for a big fella

Stanley looks good moves well, work on the disposal.

Eljay has got himself in some good position but not sure what to do with the ball, turnovers.

Mr Magic · Post: # 725695Post **Mr Magic** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:18pm

ABC are in teh Zebras huddle during the break.

Interesting to hear Lovell's thoughts

Made mention of the need to change the tempo - not to go hard all the time.

Gave compliments to Eljay's efforts.

X was prominent at teh front of teh pack - didn't look like he had any injury, so maybe it was just cramp?
He started the last qtr on the ball.

Jimmy1972 · Post: # 725696Post **Jimmy1972** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:27pm

Sautner!!!!!

Mr Magic · Post: # 725697Post **Mr Magic** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:29pm

Nick Heyne just ran in and put a really clever block on the guy trying to stop Sauntner runing around (opening the angle up) for his shot at goal.

SOmething you wouldn't expect from an 18 year old kid.

Mr Magic · Post: # 725699Post **Mr Magic** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:33pm

Lynch and Heyne were just prominent in getting the ball over to Sauntner for another goal.

Jimmy1972 · Post: # 725701Post **Jimmy1972** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:41pm

BIG tackle from Matty!!!

Mr Magic · Post: # 725702Post **Mr Magic** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:42pm

Goose just knocked someone out with a tackle.

BigMart · Post: # 725704Post **BigMart** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:43pm

Why would you not expect that from an 18yo standing in front of someone......he would have played over 100 games of footy....

I realise your bringing him up because I have potted him....well, I will tell you this....

Sweeney won Casey's goal kicking twice....after I said he was NO good after watching him a few times....and SOL had plenty of pleasure telling me this.....then he was delisted...

Heyne will be delisted in two years IMO.....has some tools....not much substance.....but thats my opinion

Saintersss · Post: # 725705Post **Saintersss** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:43pm

I have high hopes for our future ruck combo. McEvoy has been very good, gets back and marks very strongly. Has had quite a few disposals.
And Stanley although hasn't had a heap of it, its very agile and quick for his height. He tackles very well for a big man as well.

And for everyone talking about X not being able to tackle or put pressure on, they are kidding themselves. He has tackled very well and been in and under a lot. Good player.

Maguire getting better, and begley has been good.

What you do/don't post is irrelevant to me - get over yourself.

I raised it becasue it looked fantastic and the commentators on teh TV obviously thought it was good to as they made mention of it.

BigMart · Post: # 725711Post **BigMart** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:50pm

The little he did......Stanley was the biggest positive for me.....he shows a bit....

McEvoy was VG

Maguire is almost there, he is starting to adjust to the tempo of match footy.......

Mr Magic · Post: # 725714Post **Mr Magic** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:53pm

Final scores Sandy 84 to Frankston 54

BigMart · Post: # 725715Post **BigMart** » Sat 18 Apr 2009 4:53pm

Yeah, it was huge......it made zero difference.

agree on all this

of the players who could step in next week and do a job (midfield/ruck)

mcenvoy
x

goose is about 2-4 weeks away but getting close.

LJ needs to learn to gain some composure, he kicks to quckly

lynch and stanley are developing very very well. lynch will debut this year and is a smart all round footballer. Good team player as well.

Look it was a poor match but we got out of it with no injuries, development of a few players and some run in the legs of our next 5 players outside the senior side.

Hilarious watching the Zebras song being sung - some of the Saints had no idea waht it was!

good reports peeps.
how did goose actually look, were they contested marks?, did he get free? did he get a good run off the back line? play a FB role? go forward? is he at a reasonable pace? etc etc.
whats he looking like guys?

He's running freely
He's contesting strongly
He's jumping well

He's playing VFL against not much opposition

He just looks like he needs match fitness.
