Autopsy Review: St KIlda v Melbourne

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Up and down game, but we got up by 6 goals in the end? Can't be disappointed with that.

We keep our statistically unlikely run against Dees going. Now 14 in a row - a club record.

Certainly didn't like getting beaten by them in that elimination final 10 years ago.

 

[dougiemac]

Disappointed in the kicking for goal, but they answered the call twice and that is a very convincing win.

 

[Coca Carlisle]

We're definitely still in this. Feels similar to last time we played them.

Was I right or was I right?

Great game, Go Sainters!

Margin got to 5 points, we won by 36. Good response by upping the work rate.

 

[Joffaboy]

Just dont understand why Richo persists with Geary and Gilbert.

He must play favourites

Happy with a win but should have won by more

 

[bird_man]

**** that was good to watch (as frustrating as the goal kicking was).

Hard to believe we are 8 and 8, I had us down for 7 or 8 wins for the year.

Wonder what the haters think of Joey Montagna now...?

 

[CHBench]

How soft are Melbourne? Should've been 10 goals

 

[Choomah]

15.20 shouldve smashed them by 130+

 

[SK_MD_#7]

Another bag for "Spud" Membrey.

 

[WWSD]

I love watching Jack Newnes. He has become a more complete player who can play half back, wing and now half forward. He's having a very good season for the Saints. Will be a future All-Australian selection.

 

[Barrels]

Nice to see some whipping boys have good ones...

Geary, Gilbert, Wright, Acres, Billings, Dunstan; all did good things.

 

[Barrels]

Oh; and...

 

[joop]

Realistically should've been more, but was a nice win.
Billings tired but was good in the first half.

 

[Noidenous]

Looked like Gawn and Hickey were doing the tango at half a dozen throw-ins.

Not sure who should've had the rose in their teeth.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Hickey with 21 disposals. Geez it's great to have a ruckman who delivers so much. Massive fan.

 

[pebblesofsand]

7.14 after half time.

It should have been 10 goals +

Hands down. Lovin' my boy this year.

 

[George]

Great win, challenged multiple times and responded. Geary, Membrey best on ground. Dunstan great in his 50th. Weller, Roberton, Ross, Stuv all solid.

Big one next Saturday night against the Dogs. Will give us a real good indication of where we are at, but happy with tonight's win.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

I wonder how much money you'd have made if you start with $10 and kept betting it all on the saints in this streak!

 

[Hubnester]

Should've won by more but hell, I'll take it.

Love seeing the boys respond, and I keep saying it - when there's a couple of soft frees in a row or we aren't rewarded for our tackles, the Saints of the past few years would drop their heads and the game would be lost.
But now, we grind it out. We keep tackling, we keep pushing, and we recover. Gutsy.

Very satisfying game to win.
