Bad conditions were on hand. Newnes and Brown very good.

I was there. It was bloody windy and got so dark in the 3rd and last quarter it was hard to see over the other side of the ground.
I got there just after the start and we were already 5 goals down.
We beat them from there on and looked pretty good considering the team that played.
As far as the Saints players goes...
Rice - looked good off half back. kicked well, was hard at it and ran his backside off. Might be worth another chance in the seniors sometime before the end of the year.
Brown - is so much better than VFL level. Should be playing AFL, but I can see they want to get games into Carlisle. No matchup for him other than Lynch and Carlisle had his measure until he tired. Will be back when the right matchup is there.
Newnes - was fine. Nothing spectacular. Did what he should at that level and on a day like that.
Mayo - took a great pack mark in the 3rd. Should have kicked one in the last to bring us within a kick but just missed. Looks like he could be a Membrey type with a pre-season or 2. Doesn't get it enough, but looks likely when he leads and can jump and mark.
Langlands - honestly didn't recognize him (I live in LA and never get to see the kids play, but seeing as I am in town thought I would get down to watch) so I cant comment on him, unfortunately.
Rowe - battled hard in the ruck, worked hard when the ball hit the ground. Could do worse for a back up for Marshall. Will be better than Acres or Bruce.
White - nothing special this week - serviceable would be the term. Did some good things, then faded. Should be given another senior opportunity soon. Can run, kick and is tough.
Joyce - is a real leader on the field. Had plenty to say at 3qtr time too. If we could turn him into a big mid, I think he could do some damage. Still misses some easy kicks, but can run, works hard and has a dip. Still prone to the brain fades we have all seen.
Young - threatened a few times but delivered little. Did not look like he was enjoying the weather. Wanted to scrap more than play. Fumbled in the wet and just could not get into the game. We will see how he goes with a full preseason next year...not looking confident though.
Marsh - did some fantastic things, competes all the time and can run and carry the ball. Thumping kick when he gets on to it, but gee can he spray it. Def keep him around for back up. Old school utility as he can truly play anywhere.
Clavarino - did not notice him either. May have seen him do something but just didn't recognize him. (Apologies)
Bytel - was the Sandy runner and was running freely all game. What a great learning experience for him while he is out. He is a big unit, so if his back is good and he gets a full preseason I am hoping he can be an extra mid next year.

Went out to the huddle at 3qtr time. Sammy Hammil is as quiet a coach as I have heard. I am sure some of the boys at the back of the pack couldn't hear him. Maybe that is why we have struggled...the boys just don't know what he wants from them!
In all seriousness, the team looked a lot better this week. When you think of who is missing from that side (not Saints players but the developing players) we look OK. Not great but OK.

Any way, back to LA next week so I am 1-2 on this trip. Managed to see the Townsville win, was an angry man after the Lions debacle and went home thinking Richo's time is done yesterday.
If North play as they did against the pies, we are in for a world of hurt. Time will tell.

Cheers all.

Ha ha...that proves it, he denied being Eric Bana, that must mean he IS Eric Bana.

Welcome Eric. Loved "Troy".....

[Devilhead]

Great to hear Bytel is up and running

Could be one out of the box with his size and just the type of presence we need in the middle

Most experts said he likely would have gone top 10 in the draft if it weren't for his back injury as he killed as an underager in 2017

Hi LA,

it's great to get home and visit isn't it. I really enjoy the simple Aussie things.

The trees are different. The trams (fabulous). The Milk Bars. The front fences. And the availability of a swim at a nice beach at any time. The lack of gunshots (JJ).

Last time I was in Melbourne I went to a Sandy game and I saw that they sold authentic meat pies with White Crow sauce. I had one and just loved it. So I had another! Oooh mistake.

Hope you enjoyed your trip even though you swapped summer for winter.

Thanks for the report.

Sorry Eric but Troy was a crap movie.

Impressive performances from Doulton Langlands, Sam Rowe and Jack Newnes have brightened a wet and miserable afternoon against Richmond at Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval.

Torrential rain and bone-chilling wind swept across the ground and only worsened as the day wore on, but the trio weathered the elements to piece together arguably their best individual games in the 7.11 (53) to 10.8 (68) result.

Rowe’s tireless display in the ruck (52 hit-outs) and work between offence and defence was a standout, while Langlands’ gradual move to a pure inside midfielder over recent weeks has only benefitted the rookie-listed Saint.

Langlands finished with 19 disposals, seven tackles and a goal, and was flanked well by Newnes inside (21 disposals), who played his first game in the reserves after a 123-game streak at senior level.
