Autopsy Round 23 Review - Saints second half demolishes the Kitty Cats

[Ads734]

Clark’s start to third was enormous imo. Just always gets the ball to advantage.

Wilson is ahead of where Holmes was at the same stage. Could be anything.

Garcia , love the bloke give him a full game.

Add Pou and two first rd mids and see ya later.

Ps would love to see Keeler next week.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Stocker has been an elite pick up, bloke can do the job when needed.

If Liam could drop some weight and get himself super fit, I believe there is a role for him to play as that bash & crash midfielder.

 

[hangdog]

Boys, can someone explain to my why Clark only spends between 56-62% time on ground?

I read his hairline can only be exposed to so many minutes of running before it starts blowing out

 

[seasonedsainter]

Literally seen just ONE replay of the Wilson non-goal, it's being memory holed.

 

[D2D3]

Does anyone know what the deal was with the yellow hats in the cheer squad?

 

[D2D3]

When we were getting killed I heard some idiot on the radio said the difference was talent - it's a joke , wonder what he said after the game.

Have to say part of me really enjoyed the Geelong fans around me going from chirpy and arrogant to leaving half way through the fourth

Skilled but unfit.

Great move by Lyon. First half our mids were out of position in almost every centre bounce. Stanley would tap it to space and the Cats mids just ran on to it and attacked through the 6,6,6.
Second half, Stocker shut down the easy exit and stopped the Cats. This is where we started to get our game moving, confidence came back, and we were off to the races.
But Lyon can't coach apparently.

Exactly, it's not like he went in there and was doing flash things, just very effective positioning, intent and physicality. Brought the whole midfield group up a level! Lyon gave Scott a flogging tonight, from start of q3 until about halfway through the last Scott was continually shown on the broadcast looking blank and simply expecting things to turn around. Then the toys started getting thtown out of the cot a bit more LMAO eat schit Brod

Tbf not far from the first half in the GameDay thread

What did Ross do at HT?

According to Marshall, he gave them a bake.
According to Steele, he didn't give them a bake.

I don't even think the players know, so how could we?

He gave them a light flambe. Meet in the middle.

Which coincidentally is where most of our issues stem from.

 

[bergholt]

Current top 4:

Sydney - we beat them
Port - we lost to them by 2 points and 10 points
GWS - we lost to them by 1 point
Geelong - we beat them and lost to them by 8 points

Doesn't really look like we're that far off the pace tbh - just need consistency.

 

[BigMonty]

Thoughtvthstvthe first half the Cats just were red hot...and every ball bounced their way.
Our hack kicks forward went to the advantage of their backs...and I thought is it luck or just they are better.
Selwood said that you have to start winning the 50/50s and that's what we did and started opening up the other side with a strong switch and our gut running and when going inside 50 just kicking to a 2 on 2 contest and let Sharman and Membrey catch it or bring to ground...then Butler et al start to rove...game swung back our way.
Stocker was pretty key in the centre bounces and we started winning it out of the centre.
Wilkie and Battle more impregnable than Geelong in first half...

Wonderful result and we can only add to this with Windy Pou King et al next year.

Maybe this was the year to reset and then launch.

Who the f##k knows.

Go Saints you miserable barstard of a football club.

I hear you, but we wont win a premiership with that midfield, and although we looked a million bucks in the second half, we looked utter sh*t in the first half, and that's the kind of thing that has cost us too many games, but we got away with it tonight and a top win.

Very fumbly early, but after half time, a different team.

 

[Banger9798]

Enjoying the replay....we've got some real competitors in that young brigade.

 

[Sully111]

Fell in love with Wilson tonight.

We've found one with Garcia.

My favourite player right now is Cooper Sharman. I love how he goes about it. Always in there congratulating his teammates. Gives 100%. Is only going to get better. Big Max could learn a thing or two from him as far as body language goes.

Stocker was important.

Wilkie is an absolute gun.

Great game day coaching from Lyon.

Where's the presser

 

[Mav3rick]

Boys, can someone explain to my why Clark only spends between 56-62% time on ground?

Probably a few reasons, one being injury management/prevention given his history. If you play him 80%+ his chance of getting injured goes up exponentially.
Also, he is playing majority of his time in the midfield and just doesn’t have the tank yet. If he was still playing half back that TOG would likely be a lot higher.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Clarks limiting factor at the moment is clearly his running. He wins more ball per minute played than anyone on our list but with constant 60% game time he's not going to rack up 30 touches.
