Review Round 18 vs St. Kilda Saints @ The Bank - 15/07/23 - 2:10pm

[GC2015]

Feeling a bit more confident for today purely because Higgins is out so can’t tear us a new one for a change.

Would like to see Long play a Rankine role on Gresham/Butler/ whichever small decides it’s their turn to destroy us. Don’t care if he gets a kick, just shut them down please.

Think you might be right about Higgins. Since moving to St Kilda, he's kicked 11 goals in the 3 games he's played against us. So not having to defend him should help us tremendously. I remember the 2020 game where Butler single handedly got them over the line against us with 4 goals so I think we'll have to make sure he doesn't get loose. I'd like to think Long will be fired up to perform against his old side and knows how these guys play.

I've got a good feeling about today. Reckon the boys will be pumped to make a statement after the week they've had.

Early days, but Touk makes such a difference just with his want to move the ball quickly and through the middle when he gets it on transition.

Elijah midfield? Was at a ruck stoppage.

has built a super team

Pressure and intensity finally bought for once

 

[Young_Guns]

Pressure good early. Can’t let them get their run going.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

We are literally winning the flag

 

[Supersuns]

Witts tap to the outside!!!
Great start

 

[Cheifkeith95]

Wow some daring fluid fast play

 

[Supersuns]

5 shots from 17 inside 50s isn't good enough. Not taking our opportunities while they are being presented.

 

[Southern Sun]

Never seen us suffocate a team coming out of defence like we are. Negative being we should be up by more.

 

[Young_Guns]

Good early signs. Pressure is massive, especially Holman and Ace leading the way not letting the Saints out.
Looks like we are moving the ball with purpose and are actually trying to go through the middle and think it through instead of launching it. Final kick inside 50 still as shocking as normal, but that’s going to take months to unteach.

Need it to continue this quarter to mean anything.

 

[Emerald Sun]

Noticeable difference with the first quarter. Seem to be playing with a bit more freedom.
That might be because of the opposition thought.
Some very smart kicks and handballs happening

I like flanders as the extra mid from half forward

Roams down to the backline and links up very well.

I reckon he stays, it’s a good role he can flourish in.

 

[Supersuns]

Atkins is taking the game on more than I've seen from him here. Looks like 2017 Atkins

 

[Supersuns]

Hollands needs to work harder than that, barely broke out of a jog chasing Wood

Redemption!!

 

[Supersuns]

All that effort and barely in front. So frustrating

 

[Cheifkeith95]

Never mind real suns are back.
Pain.

Long needs a reminder he’s playing for us now
