Game Day Round 3, 2023: St.Kilda v Essendon *150 YEARS OF THE SAINTS*

[Sully111]

We look a bit tired

 

[jwikked]

In the fancies, mate. I’ll be ok I think… I may be an absolute cream puff, but my brother - unbeknownst to the cretins - is sitting in front of me.

He is a disturbingly violent individual when required.

Love hearing when the fox is sitting in the hen house if needed.

We desparately need a lift through the middle, their mids and Draper are on top. Some of our F50 entries in the 2nd quarter were poor. Too many of our blokes are losing their footing.

Byrnes is doing well but he needs to shut down Martin when they win the ball. They are locking down on Sinclair, perhaps he is an option to go through the midfield.

Phillipou and Cordy are having a tough nights, as is Battle hardly sighted.

Battle playing on Weidman I think who hasn’t gone near it. Nice intercept and a few tidy kicks.

He’s doing his job.

 

[my name was taken]

Cordy, Pou and Caminiti not having any impact- that's three marking forwards doing nothing.

think we were spoiled a bit the first couple weeks, though to be fair the delivery isnt as on point this week which I believe is just due to the absolute chaos battle going on in the middle.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

The difference in the game is us taking our opportunities early

They have had the better of us since just after half way of the first term

Feel like the mids got on top of us, need a lift

Crouch not having a huge impact in close. Contested possession and clearance numbers are down

Owens has been awesome. If he can start taking more opportunities he could be a genuine gun very soon

Byrne's have a very good game again

Wood.and Wilkie unreal

Good to see Higgo getting amongst it

The diffarense?, was we seemed to think they were worth anything, third quarter, must blow them away

 

[Mowman]

Windy looking a bit off the pace. Hoping for a big 2nd half for him!

Thought the same looked slow

 

[Barrels]

Love hearing when the fox is sitting in the hen house if needed.

He’s a very placid and measured lad… until irked.

Then…

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Put Owens in the middle

Actually think his explosiveness could be a point of difference

 

[phantom13]

Small sample size but we’ve been beaten in every second quarter and then come home well (like a steam train against the dogs).

 

[Jade Buddha]

Midfield very very ordinary. Marshall getting pumped by Draper, wake up son.
Windy pretty invisible. Gresh can’t kick. Crouch what the? Clark soft.
Seb the only one putting in.

 

[stavro#4]

Just too highlight our issue.

Our top 6 disposal winners at Half time…

18 Wood
14 Sinclair
13 Byrnes
13 Gresham
13 Higgins + 3 goals
And then….
13 for Ross.

Midfield needs to lift.

Not sure our forward line can function without owens at the moment

Will be interesting when King and Membery get back if Owens will be one of our main midfielders.

We look a bit tired

I made the same comment last week at the end of the second quarter. hopefully we come out the same way as last week but I think bombers are a lot fitter than the dogs were.

May explain why he'd be tired, being his first proper game and all. View attachment 1646606View attachment 1646607

Plugger has been named for Mummy 2? Cruise is too fat

 

[SteeleSaints]

Battle playing on Weidman I think who hasn’t gone near it. Nice intercept and a few tidy kicks.

He’s doing his job.

They are rotating, Ive seen him on Jones a lot also. Battle is one who Ive noticed struggles when its wet, he simply cant keep his feet or change direction.

Hopefully he can start being a bit mre offensive n the 2nd half.

Yeah I’ll come with the Calvary and you’ll be doing us a favour .

 

[Curunir]

Bombers have withstood our pressure quite well so far.

It'll be interesting to see who cracks first

 

[Mat Mann]

Bombers flooding back. Our boys getting to high and not creating space

 

[Plugger35]

Mason Wood seriously what a pick up

He has been our best player so far along with Wilkie both well in front on SC points.

We need a lift from some of our other players though like Gresham, Phillipou and Windhager.

I would throw Phillipou into the middle to get him involved.

 

[sauce_head]

Just need to hit up a target going into forward 50. Then we will be right.

 

[Saint Shags]

Really need to step it up in the midfield this quarter.

 

[Yawkey way]

Let’s go saints.

 

[phantom13]

I hate doing it but…

Eleni calls what she thinks is going to happen rather than what happens.

We got the rub of it early but it’s not great.
