Some stats from Stk v Port

[Champion Saint]

Just looking at the numbers, it didnt look good! Max didnt even get a touch before going off injured.

Here's some of the stats
StK 200 kicks to Ports 270
StK 379 disposals to Ports 438
They took 171 marks to our 112 and had 49 inside 50s to 28.
Turnovers were 53 to 48 'our' way with 15 of their 28 scores coming from our mistakes. They also generated 11 scores from stoppages to our 5.

Top StK disposals were Ray 28, Dal 26, Clint Jones 26, Joey 25, S. Fisher 25 and Ball and Geary 22.

Salopek had 32 for them and Kane Cornes 26.


Thats about it - nothing to exciting!

its only a practice game, but both teams had huge posessions

theirs of 438 would have to be a record, Geelong got in the 420-440 about 3 times last year

[Saints Premiers 2008]

so basically our mistakes were big ones whether it be close to goal or not...

i guess that can be directly looked at and improved right???

trying to be positive here

at least rooey got a good run around

Good to see Ray up there in the possies....looks like he might show a bit throughout the season.

Top StK disposals were Ray 28, Dal 26, Clint Jones 26, Joey 25, S. Fisher 25 and Ball and Geary 22.

For those of you struggling to find positive signs, there's a few here. Ray, Dal, Joey, Fisher and Ball have all had excellent preseasons. Geary looks ready to move into our best 22. Goddard and Mini had performed well prior to this game. Our midfield should get better with the return of our rucks and Hayes.

I'm excited to see how we go when the real stuff starts.

We all hate losing so we look for someone/something to blame when it occurs. We will quickly recover (I almost have already)

I'm sure that the pre-season will be forgotten over the next week and the excitement & anticipation of a new season will get us all firing in the lead up to Rd 1 !!

yeah ive moved on too....until i get to work tomorrow and the toothless non member port fans start up
even thou i said to em they would win by 6-8 goals.

I'm glad we had decent efficiency from our inside 50 entries. Against the Bulldogs and Lions we had horrible efficiency going inside 50.
