Autopsy Round 4, 2023: St.Kilda v Gold Coast

[Ephemeral Hope]

Brad Crouch had 7 touches in the first half and 27 in the 2nd

Crazy

Called it. Made the mistake of doubting him early on last week. He came back to lead the disposals in the second

 

[D2D3]

It’s Mitchito’s world. We’re all just living in it.

 

[Plugger35]

Owens was unbelievable tonight.

He played both the Riewoldt lead up marking forward role and the Milne small forward role.

 

[George]

****ing smashed

What a group of young men we have to cheer on every weekend boys and girls

 

[SaintersUnite]

Stoked that I live in SA and have tickets to the Gather Round next weekend. I’ll get to see Owens in the flesh

The only downside to tongiht was Bytel getting injured and the travesty that is Paddy McCartin. It’s honestly a disgrace the AFL let him continue his career after what he suffered with us.

Jack Peris to debut next week as sub you heard it here first

Owens was unbelievable tonight.

He played both the Riewoldt lead up marking forward role and the Milne small forward role.

And the Rowan Marshall ruck role
And the Lenny Hayes inside mid role

 

[my name was taken]

Byrnes highest ranked average speed in defence, and in attack (excluding Bytel)

interesting GC players filled out the rest of the top 5 for speed in attack, and all saints in speed in defense.

General tracking stats GC actually matched us, but we put in the work AND were clean with it, which is what we didnt do for the last 5 years for our "work hard teams"

hit a new level

I reckon it's probably fair to say that Ben Long's performance didn't do a lot to justify some of the melts about trading him out for a 2nd.

Not his fault, Dewy is using him much like Richo did and stack HBF and have a wander lad. That man needs direction and unfortunately for him Dewy be hungry and ate all the directions to gain knowledge he'll never use.

Also not much he could have done against the beast that was Mitchito, man could take the entire Suns outfit he was possessed.

 

[Daniels2Heatley]

First quarter was flat.
Come early in the second we lifted and the sun's couldn't handle it.
My comments from the game largely surround the 2nd quarter as the game was over 5 mins into the 3rd quarter.
Wood is elite and must be tough as nails to see him get up and play. He was pivotal in the 2nd.
Sinclair in the guts in the 2nd helped change the tide, he will probably not make AA as a mid, but geeze he helped shift momentum. Easily our best and most important player.
Cordy played a defensive role on Collins in the 2nd that didn't go unnoticed, and rucked after Marshall got subbed. Big tick.
Nas needs to work on the defensive side of his game.
Brynes has something about him, can see him being 100+ game sainter.
Battle still does things that ticks me off but he did some very handy things tonight.
Seb looks hungry and fit.
Paton getting back to pre injury quality, slowly.
Howard isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Wouldn't be chucking the hairy cheque book at Bing, kid looks a shadow of his former self at present.
Big game next week against the wobbles.
Go saints

 

[Longmembrey]

I doubt even Ratten is one.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I had the opportunity to be around some of the saints staff tonight for a bit.
You can tell everyone is up and about.

is there no late saturday show on kayo anymore? the stream cut to the masters after like 1 ad break

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Jack Peris to debut next week as sub you heard it here first

Nahhh, Leo Connolly

 

[denisp]

That was terrific how they stepped it up through that second quarter / really a clinical performance demoralised Gold Coast tonight
Go Sainters

Hill rejuvenated under Lyon and co

 

[The Cobra]

Looked off early.

Some positional tweaks and a rev from RTB @1/4 time - pressure goes through the roof and we go bang!

Pretty simple game really!

Go Saints!

Best On ground is now a semi regular occurrence now.

 

[StPiper]

Hit outs against actual (young but still full size) ruckmen

And one of those was a straight goal assist to Sinclair.

 

[Ads734]

Owens getting more and more confident by the day. His athleticism for his size is absurd. The blokes a bull. Watching him running laps in pre season and the blokes a gazelle.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Mitch Owens is going to be elite very soon, he's the new Nat Fyfe.

He was actually elite tonight.

 

[Plugger35]

And the Rowan Marshall ruck role
And the Lenny Hayes inside mid role

And the Danny Frawley full back role

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

And the Rowan Marshall ruck role
And the Lenny Hayes inside mid role

I saw him jogging off to what I thought was the bench tired late but then next minute he was in the ruck st the centre bounce.

 

[Hayes4PM]

******* smashed

They're not just good footballers but they seem like good campaigners.

The young blokes of Owens, Windy, Nas all seem like good eggs. The photos of Owens with his mates last weekend celebrating. He might go hard as anyone when the game is in play, but seems like a good campaigner off the field.
