not bad saint3d

got the tackles- leigh, lenny and luke
4/5 for marks
spot on for free's for
1/2 of Kicks
but no on disposals.


what I find interesting is that the Cats have more players in the handball top 20 BUT hardly any in the Top Kicks list.- Good on the Saints for keeping the game as FOOTball
Gablett mave have heaps of disposals- but a great percentage of them are handballs.
