On first glance seemed a fraction long for his age but I think he has such a good mentoring role at the club particularly with the indigenous fellas that this can only be a good thing, even if he doesn't play out that final year fully.

Scorn and Carro found something nice to say for once. Shocked they didn't try and spin this into a negative.. https://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/other/why-cornes-caro-rated-lyon-s-rare-in-game-move/ar-BB1lTCH4?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=9354f4b16ee6455ab0648b313a61ca1e&ei=57 Caro is a Ro...

Batchelor, in his review of last Sunday's Sandringham game, wrote that Schoenmaker needed to work on his physicality. That tells me he's not tackling with enough intent and not being hard enough in the air when contesting. I've seen a few Sandy games and I think that's where he needs to improve. He...

Goal percentage is not on itself a great indicator Higgins has kicked at least 8 walk in goals from the goal square He also kicked one out of his arse But he’s missed a number of simple set shots from 30 Him and Owens are horrible kicks in general and Ryan Byrnes Yeah based on xScore rating which t...

Jack Sinclair has bounced back to form with 10 coaches' votes to his name off the back of Saturday's win over the Roos. https://www.saints.com.au/news/1548030/coaches-votes-seamless-sinclair-snatches-perfect-10-six-saints-poll StPeter will be happy..😃 Centre bounce appearance R8 Kangas - 72% R7 Por...

Comparison with last year This vs last Better Higgins 56.5% vs 43.4% Membrey 56.5% vs 37.5% Worse King 43.8% vs 54.9% Sharman 40.0% vs 65.2% Owens 41.2% vs 51.0% Not a fair comparison imo Sharman was playing as a wingman and a defender this year. Pretty difficult having to be a fill in utility and ...

Higgins and King are 50/50 bets even when 30m out directly in front The only players I have a lot of faith with when going for set shots are Sharman, Butler, Wood, Cordy, and Sinclair I cover my eyes when King, Owens, and Higgins are lining up This season King is 54% - 7 from 13 that scored Higgins...

Keeler reportedly had a calf injury in the warmup and was a late out

Dow had a good last quarter in the clinches, racked up quite a few important clearances. Agree that he isn't banging down the door for selection. Curious if anyone who watches the games thinks Arie is close? Personally I feel like he has a lot to work on defensively, seems almost allergic to tacklin...

Frees 24 to 11

Conspiracy! Sandy is stealing all the frees off the main Saints team

Sharman moved to defence for Q3 and playing very well, intercepting everything

Lancey nice crumb and third goal

Good quarter from Collard. Think he will be close to getting a game at this rate.

O'Connell did a few nice things, Jones started the quarter strong and looking a cut above

Allison non strapped knee in a bit of strife

Otiman wrote: ↑Sun 05 May 2024 4:10pm Hunter Clark with a knee concern. Hopefully nothing.

Been off for half a quarter and going to the rooms just before halftime, not ideal

Thought he was playing pretty well before coming off

Keeler apparently a late out with a calf injury

I missed the first quarter but looks like a good showing from the AFL lads on the scoreboard

Sandy 7.3.45 to North 3.2.20

Singles to Sharman, Dow, Collard, Clark, Caminiti

Jones 7 disp, Dow 6, Clark 6

Some good today Some things to work on Hopefully he continues to improve and develop into a good player Bit harsh on a 4 gamer don't you think Just because he wears #22 and not #40 something - I don't think you should judge him by it. He is not the Messiah - He is just a very talented boy! Uhhhhhhh...

Didn't it take 2 clubs not really wanting Blake before he pulled his finger out. Was jogging on the fringe of contests for most of his time with us. Can't remember him throwing his weight around. Penny dropped eventually. Seems Voss only wants goers and Blues Captain is 6'5". Persuasive in the...
