Autopsy Saints roll the Cats.

[Saint Shags]

Boy did we get smashed when Marshall wasn’t rucking though. That stood out massively at times.

Still feels like the way things have been for a while, our best is really really good. Have to lift our bad still, but perhaps did a good job of that when Cats came at us late at least!

Helps when they have 3 to rotate through that ruck spot.
Keeler tried his best but he didn't get the chance to rest on the bench especially when we went down a rotation.

 

[paddygunner]

Caminiti had 100% game time, as did Wilkie (as usual).

Hunter Clarke looked good before he got injured, and I think Hills game tonight is being underrated by a few on here. Put lots of pressure on, full effort for the game. He was there to play, doesn’t need 25 disposals to have a positive impact

Did see Clark injury- what happened?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

I know the focus should be on our performance, but honestly, the most pleasure I get out of tonight’s result is the fact that it came against a club I genuinely loathe.

For me it is enjoying shutting the sanctimonious ******* mouths of the worst the west Pakenham scats fans.

No west pakenham scats did not invent attacking football, no you are not a "regional" team or place.

Geelong without father and son, cotton on, dodgy land deals, dodgy leadership deals, not giving a shit about the cap and having the sportsbet scumps on their side is nothing.

They are house kittens in world of beasts.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Rivers needs to work with the Hammer on how to deal with clearances from within the deep defensive 50. He did ok but looked pretty indecisive ost of the time. He’ll get there.

 

[DocklandsSaint]

Was a doomsdayer...more than happy to be completely proven wrong...happy but completely confused at this point lol

Loose headband.

O'Connell at the end

 

[Joffaboy]

Watching the presser now and Scott is saying we played amazingly initially to be fair.

Yes he was very fair.

Macrae is what we've been crying out for

Was it Stocker that was subbed off? Why?

Zac Jones cracks me up. To go from Ablett Jnr in the first to punching that ball in the last instead of marking it. FMD

I thought we were going to outrun teams?

I LOVE Jack Higgins

Keeler's first Afl goal was a special moment.

We were awesome in the first half.... awesome.

Fun night to be at the footy.

 

[LJC05]

Thrilled for Lancey Boy, I think this gives him a good base to build from now, may not have gotten much of it but he looked engaged and no doubt the two goals help as well.

Stocker concussed when his head hit the turf running down a Geelong player.

 

[Coconut_twirl]

There are a few names missing from the thread tonight that were rinsing the club all week.
Can safely say there are some rage baiting trolls and not real supporters.

There was talk of Saints getting the number one pick during the week by some on here.

 

[Kennedy84]

How cathartic is it to see the mids deliver to a leading forward, felt like it's been such a long time.

Owens is ridiculously strong, cats players were bouncing off him at some points. It's good to have him back, looks like he's ready.

Yep he showed a bit, was there roaming and pressuring and almost got loose on the boundary a couple of times.

How about not potting Jones just for one night?
We had a six day break coming off an interstate game with a very young team, we ran out of legs

Again give them a break.

Concussion. Hit his head during that awesome tackle

[saintbill]

Unbelievable win. Owens stats won't reflect how immense he was tonight. Regularly halving contests 2 on 1, he is an animal.

Have not been Windy's biggest fan but FMD he impressed me tonight. Collard was handy, Higgins and Mcrae both immense.

Hammer was outstanding down back. This is his position.

Just an awesome team effort overall. Well done Sainters.

I will say we missed King tonight. When the game needed a big man down the line to take a grab, Keeler was cooked. Tried hard, he was just exhausted.

Rivers needs to work with the Hammer on how to deal with clearances from within the deep defensive 50. He did ok but looked pretty indecisive ost of the time. He’ll get there.

Worst case scenario probably will be he produces the same output as Cordy, with a lot more upside and age on his side.

 

[Sully111]

Stocker concussed when his head hit the turf running down a Geelong player.

He's an absolute fearless maniac. Brings an edge to the side for sure.

 

[jumperfan]

I ragged on him a bit last week but Windy made me look silly tonight. Very pleasing to see.

 

[Joffaboy]

Reckon was our biggest out for balance.

Sounds like Clark has done a groin again. Jesus he can never stay on the field.
