AFL Autopsy Praccy Match v. St Kilda

[Big John Studd]

yeah nah

 

[JT_the_Man]

I heard Razzle Dazzle and thought Orazio was playing for a minute.

 

[boncer34]

Heppell lace out precision to Tsatas.

 

[boncer34]

Saints kick the first goal of the quarter for the second time.

17-33

 

[jdstorm]

You serious?

If he doesn’t then outside merrett we’ve got no one good enough to play half back

Was true last season

 

[Hamez]

We love a hack kick forward

 

[TheUnicorn]

ffs

 

[andleanback]

The bombing to no one is ingrained

We are incapable of actually taking ground by foot when it presents

 

[boncer34]

Settefield thumps it deep to literally only Josh Battle

[Cup_o_Jobe]

Every year it looks the same. We grind and grind to get a kick in the forward half, someone blazes away and hits the intercept defender all on their own, and then we're caught out of position and flat footed as the rebound kick starts a chain that goes end to end past us. Witches hats stuff.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Menzie and Langers are definitely not in sync today.

 

[boncer34]

17 - 34

Jones takes his first contested mark in 18 months though

 

[Maxabillions]

Preseason optimism fading

 

[JT_the_Man]

Also, I know it’s not even a half into a game in Feb but… 11th place finish imo.

 

[andleanback]

That’s what Jones needs to be for us, push up high to be the bail out option. Good strong mark

 

[boncer34]

It's great watching the Saints out number us at the contest in the pocket and still have 3 spares out for the switch.

 

[boncer34]

Marshall snaps and misses

17-35

 

[eighties_bomber]

this is horrible to watch

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Hep fumble, nearly a turnover goal. Ahh I've missed this.

 

[boncer34]

Heppell kindly leaves the ball behind for Steele leading to another Saints behind.

17-36

 

[Pweter]

The 5 minutes I've watched hasn't exactly been encouraging by us. Skills crap, loose Saints everywhere almost every time they gain possession, we're seemingly under the pump almost every time we gain possession.

It's a familiar feeling.

 

[Maxabillions]

Grace has some work to do on her commentary game

 

[andleanback]

This looks exactly the same as the previous season match against the Saints last year

 

[boncer34]

After watching the Saints run and gun successfully into the wind we've gone with the much better tactic of slow high kicks down the line now it's our turn.

17 - 42

 

[Howard Moon]

The 5 minutes I've watched hasn't exactly been encouraging by us. Skills crap, loose Saints everywhere almost every time they gain possession, we're seemingly under the pump almost every time we gain possession.

It's a familiar feeling.

This is what saints do, it's a good training exercise for pre season, to be under constant pressure
