Sinclair brilliant. And thank goodness Higgins kicked the goal: redeeming himself a little for his mistake-ridden quarter.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 21 2023
Good work by Sinclair after a hospital hand pass.
Feels like Carlton have been on top most of the quarter, lucky to be ahead.
Burnt a couple of golden opportunities going inside 50, need to be smarter.
Need to get on top of Cripps

Keep it up saints. Need to stop the hospital handballs and go by foot. I thought the defence was amazing. Cordy looks like an upgrade on Dougal ATM

Need to tag down Zac Fisher. Creating too much run off half back.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 21 2023
I reckon we're a reasonable chance in this.
Carlton are using the tactics that a number of other teams have tried against us: flooding back and then trying lots of quick, risky handballs coming out of defence to try to disrupt our defensive pattern. It's working ok, but they're using up a lot of energy and, unlike teams like Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast and - in their first game against us - Hawthorn, they haven't so far shown the attacking power to pile on the goals.
They might begin to run out of puff after half-time. For now, their approach will mean that we won't get heaps of opportunities to score, so we will need to capitalise on those we get.

Crouch is such an attacking threat nowadays.

I know we got the goal but how was that not 50 for Marshall for not giving the ball back

Good tackle and goal by Butler after Higgins AGAIN butchered a simple inside 50
