Blakey is such a whipping boy he even dominates reviews of games he didn’t play in.

Yep agree Wicks is looking like he needs a break, he's not kicking goals and seems a bit frustrated / cranky. Hawks might be an easier(?) game then theres the bye. Reckon Wicks will play next week.
Ronke is next in line in that role, was good to see him play again. Not sure what the VFL fixture is, but if Ronke can play next week and again in the vfl during the bye week, he might get a run after that .
Reckon Sheather is going great. Kinnear thought he might have been picked up in the national draft last year and would have been stoked to get him as a rookie, so no surprises as to his form. Still reckon hes 12 months away from a debut.

Kiss of death?
I'd play Wicks again. The alternatives just aren't there. Sheather looks promising, but too early (think he could get a game later on in the year if we have injuries in roles he can fill). Ronke got some tackles and a composed goal, but nothing to deserve a re-call (he has just come back) - it's not like he was in good form in most of his 31 games before injuries, not a walk up starter. Gulden hopefully after the bye, Campbell even can play a half forward role (maybe responsibility in defence is a bit much so early). They're the main competition.
And late as well for a couple of key contests.

That just about sums up my views on it, apart from tidying up the ball leaking out of the back of the square on centre bounces. It was giving me PTSD from the Hawks era. They beat us by putting a sweeper mid out the back of the contest (who happened to be an elite kick)Think we got a bit cocky at a few stages/ a few lucky frees let them back in it at times.
There have been two St Kilda teams this year, the good one and the bad one. We just beat the good one.
Happy with that win, sometimes you win ugly and I think it was their pressure vs our skills all day (and the team with better skills usually has the higher ceiling).
- Amartey was fantastic.
- Logan had a great first half before supply dried up.
- Florent is quickly becoming one of our first few selected.
- Rampe is our king
- Hickey and Mills are first two selected each week.
Good win, get through Hawthorn next week and we get a deserved break
I think that might be mcD as opposed to McC
Spot on there. He was generally pretty awful.
I think McDonald has that CHF position, Franklin is our FF with Reid being the 3rd tall/relief ruck. I think that would be the preferred talls going forward if everyone was fit
Delightful imagery. Thanks for that
You surely must have been watching a different game. Florent put in a four quarter effort IMO and displayed some real class. His I50 to MCD was brilliant
Warner and Wicks I'm hoping will benefit from the bye. They both look like they're getting a touch tired and making mistakes they weren't making earlier this year. To be expected given they're both still yet to play 20 games after all.

mtooler doesn't like Florent, don't bother

lol. So true.
The only time I got mad at Ollie was when he was pinged for htb. He had broken three tackles but the fourth got him. I thought he was typically solid and was in my votes.
I found it hard to crack it at him for that even. He burst onto the ball at such speed (which in itself saved a goal because of the numbers the Saints had around the ball at the time) and was able to break through the initial few tackles but there wasn't enough time to dispose of it. Hard to avoid that last one imo.

With Hill having such a poor year and under intense media pressure all week it was frustrating to allow him the freedom to play his game. We should have doubled down to maintain his poor year.
Is Sarah on here ? love her Twitter work
Exactly. People deride hacked kicks up the ground, yet a player is bursting through, with little room to get any sort of disposal (beyond a flick handball surrounded by opposition) and tries to create an attacking opportunity from half back into the middle, and can still get criticised? If we applaud players attacking and taking the game on, we have to be consistent.
He was on Heeney im sure in the 1st half , but that's watching on TV , he had 18 and then he was moved and only had 7 , crap coaching by Rats
The Saints played a way to get him the ball. He had 1 contested possession the entire match. He wasn't damaging. Lots of balls to 50/50s that ended up on the boundary line. Crouch and Steele were the ones who actually did the damage
He needed support to get a HB off. No one presented for him
In the Murdoch rag some idiot called James Mottershead has given3 to Crouch 2 to Steele and 1 to Parker . Hickey was the most influencial player on the ground
Yep at the ground he often started at bounces/stoppages on Heeney and then handed over to Wilkie so he could run off and Wilkie could handle him in the air. Looked part of the Saints' strategy to get Hill free so he could run and create. Then moved to HF in the 2nd half I think to try and stem some of our run from Lloyd and McInerney (from a defensive wing spot) but went completely quiet.
