Classic. Turning into the new “pleasing, positive” of the Richo days

Melbourne versus St Kilda - Teams changes. Melbourne IN: A.Tomlinson, E.Langdon, J.van Rooyen, L.Hunter OUT: J.Lever (Injured), B.Brown (Omitted), B.Howes (Omitted), J.Billings (Omitted) St Kilda IN: L.Stocker, S.Ross, J.Higgins OUT: M.Phillipou (Omitted), B.Paton (Omitted), Z.Jones (Omitted) Emerg...

Touting 28 inside 50s in the first half and 15 in the first quarter as a positive is a bit silly with how poor the looks are constantly

And Pou viewed as a mid long term... Is this trying to fit a round peg into a square hole a bit or do others here view him as a midfield prospect in the future?

I don't hate Crouch and Clark spending more time in the VFL especially if we're not playing finals this year. No point rushing them back in. Dropping Pou this week makes bringing him in last week even more bizarre. I would have liked to have seen Garcia get a recall personally. Byrnes in is just... ...

Nice stat for those who think we haven't been doing enough to develop our draftees. The most matches played from draftees in the past three years has West Coast on top with 199 games, from St Kilda (186), Hawthorn (177), North Melbourne (168) and Adelaide (122). Where are you getting these figures ...

Dan Butler has been given the green light to play this week after passing weekend fitness tests.

Only Arie Schoenmaker (concussion - test) joins James Van Es (ankle - LTI) on the list of absentees this week.

Great move IMO!

At the end of the day It was the 2014 draft that killed us I distinctly remember AR telling Elshaug we HAD to get the pick 1 right. He had concerns over Paddy’s weight and not overly dominating in is 18s year. Elshaugh was adamant he was our man. Hugh Goddard was a steal at pick 21 - did do an Achi...

Match report
https://www.saints.com.au/news/1558847/ ... -bags-five

Arie was out for second week in a row with concussion according to broadcast

Final score Sandy 20.14.134 to Tigers 3.6.24 Hard to know how much to read into that vs a very poor and depleted Tigers side, but some good signs from the AFL players. Garcia BOG from what I saw, classy kick, wins his own football in the clinches, going to be very good for us. If Pou earnt his spot ...

Garcia is going to be the contested mid ball winner we’ve been dying for

3/4 time Sandy 13.9.87 to Tigers 3.6.24 Sandy far and away the better team in a scrappy wet game. A lot of chances at goal went skidding out of bounds or missed. Garcia looking good, Crouch dominating. Keeler playing well driving out of the backline and good defensively. Byrnes did some nice evasive...

Flicked it on after halftime again. Turned into a bit of a wet scrap.

Hastie a couple of bad mistakes down back and was lucky not to cough up goals. Campbell taps looking good, Crouch extracting well, and Moose Heath with 2 goals.

Arie not playing again, still under concussion protocol?

We're stuffed Laughing stock I'm not contributing to this thread because I agree with the title. I don't want Lyon sacked...but ffs!! We just need to try and play with a little freedom and release the shackles. No more tagging. No more restrict, defend, kill the footy. Let's aim to be a team who ki...

We need a complete overhaul. Genuinely looking like one of the worst in the comp at the moment. Could lose to West Coast in two weeks at this rate.

Dow 57% TOG
Collard 45% TOG

Bizarre to bring players in and barely play them

Has Dow even been on the ground since half time?

Collard’s barely been on the ground, 46% game time from 3/4

Or maybe not made a sub at all… Jones been shocking so far

Probably should have subbed Pou

That was absolutely useless by Dougs

Feel like there’s a lack of connection or poise. How often do we kick or handball it to places teammates aren’t, or handball to teammates immediately under pressure. Frustrating to see this week in week out
