Got to say that Jack Henry is putting in a good game.

This is 2021-esque Jack Henry form. He's showed glimpses of this the past 2 or 3 seasons, but then has confidence lulls where he's off his game as well.

Hopefully he runs more hot than cold for the rest of the year, as he is a big difference maker when he's playing like he has tonight.

 

[Commando]

The wheels on Mullin!
Once he learns to footy .. oh boy!!!

 

[Chinacats]

I want the tackling to increase…. But the pace and youth looks good…. Get the % and finish them!

 

[Seeds]

Holmes, dempsey, mannagh, j.henry and humphries looking fantastic.

Bowes is in beast mode.

His disposals can be scrappy at times but when he finds plenty of the footy we tend to win.

Happy to have him on one side of the ground and Holmes on the other side on the wing

 

[Zouz Kitty]

As much as I will miss Hawkins, I love how Neale runs and leaps at everything and either clunks it or its been brought to ground. Hoping he really gets a look and kicks 4 or 5 tonight.

Bittersweet

Still, for years + years, we’ve seen the changes from champions to Kittens, to champions to Kittens + we honour former champions + are filled with hope for Kittens.

In all positions - obviously

 

[Jeff76]

I seriously cannot believe how we got Lawson, he just hits every kick and handball, is there 1 fault on him?? Hell nah. Special mention to JHenry, having a blinder.

[Play it Sam]

They are hopeless as expected but Mutter mutter Ross with the filthiest temper and highest blood pressure in the game. There’s a few who wouldn’t want to play under that beetroot head.

 

[r32godzilla]

Great first half from the boys. That run from Mullin when he turned the afterburners on. Made Hill look like he was standing still.

 

[Vdubs]

Humphries. Taking votes off Dempsey ??
Is he eligible?

 

[Sttew]

Cannot believe Cats got Humphries. He is so poised and plays like he has been at Geelong forever!

Amazing team effort so far.

 

[catempire]

Saints finish the quarter with the ball, waiting waiting and then a chip backwards. Fitting.

We give you, Ross Lyon Football

Duncan is replaced for the next 10 years

This is 2021-esque Jack Henry form. He's showed glimpses of this the past 2 or 3 seasons, but then has confidence lulls where he's off his game as well.

Was thinking the same.

It's as close to his peak form as I've seen in a long time.

 

[Generalissimo]

I'm becoming a fan. The last two weeks I've noticed a few times he's been kicking forward, seen nothing to go to, but has somehow found a way to turn a two-on-one into a 50/50, or a one-on-zero into half a contest.

Contrast this with Parfitt, who throughout his career has been faced with many of those, dancing around on the spot and baulking and waiting for the outnumber to sort itself out, and it never happens because people don't lead to him. Mullin makes things happen.

 

[winty]

Get another 4-5 goals here, and it'll basically be all over. Saints have only kicked 80 points plus 8 times this year, and 5 of those have been against Richmond, North, West Coast (x2) and Essendon who are the 4 worst defensive teams in the comp.

 

[Chinacats]

What’s David King talking about ? Said it was workmanlike first half by the cats….. I thought they looked explosive, pacey and prepared to play on….. big MCG would suit!

 

[cats_09]

Mullin's selection for tonight looks like it's come with a definitive plan:

- Mullin vs Hill

Watching the second half of that quarter, I was trying to work out why Mullin was playing forward for us, but in reality he's going where Hill is going

When the ball is in dispute or St Kilda has the ball, he is wearing Hill like a glove, giving him no time or space

Mullin is then working hard the other way when we get the ball

You can see that as soon as there's a stoppage, Mullin is straight to Hill and just giving him notthing

Thinking Mullin must be doing a decent job, cause when the halftime siren went, the two guys stopped and Hill gave him a tap on the butt to say "good job"


Be curious to see if we use Mullin in a similar role more often going forward - rather than necessarily a midfield tagger, playing him on the oppositions defensive speedster
