Autopsy Saints v Cats - AFL Rd 23, 2024 - Sat August 17th 7:30pm - (Marvel)

[melvilledocker]

Is it just me or do the Cats play more Saturday night games more than any other team? It’s never prime time, that is for the evening game, it’s always slightly off it.

I think we request Saturday twilight as our preference. Better for our fans.

 

[Hoops]

That how I't should be paid. Like to see them consistent with it

gone backwards at 100 miles an hour, dumb football at the other end thinking Higgins was going to kick it 55m to

If this is meant to be a serious comment, you don’t watch much football do you

 

[Chuckie357]

Wilson isn’t up to it, time lying worked that out

 

[Mr Meow]

It's a Humphries masterclass so far.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Saints fans, do you actually like Lyon football? Because I can't imagine how you can enjoy watching this every goddamn week, especially when you usually lose.

 

[The 747]

Higgins is doing a decent job as the one Saints player in front of the ball.

 

[hutchy31]

Saints have picked near the top of the draft for most of the last decade. Cats haven’t had many high draft picks because of their success.

But pick a best 22 across both lists and I’d be surprised if there were more than 4-5 saints players in it. It’s gruesome if you’re a saints fan imo.

 

[MJG14]

I feel like these teams play each other pretty often for some reason? Might be just me.

 

[Lingsface]

Stewart with some hero efforts so far setting the standard!

 

[Delisted]

Essendon on a Friday night and the saints on Saturday. **** me.

Been very good for them.
They'd kill for some class forward of the ball. Even if it's just a hard running HF type who gets it 15 times a game, but can actually hit up that last inside 50 kick.

I think he has been a great pick up, perfect wingman.

Yeah but then they would have to put some players ahead of the ball.

Second time this year but once last year. I feel we play the Dogs more.

Play Ross' cowards football then you deserve goalless quarters.

Essendon on a Friday night and the saints on Saturday. **** me.

Why is there not a floating fixture for the last 3-4 weeks of the season? The FTA games are brutal.

 

[hutchy31]

Play Ross' cowards football then you deserve goalless quarters.

There was a small thing on a wing halfway through the quarter that was interesting. I think Clark or maybe Wilkie took a mark near halfway and they had a teammate 15m forward and I reckon almost every other player/team in the AFL would have taken the forward handball and kept the ball moving.

The Saints player hesitated, looked inward and then back, then kicked it down the ground to a contest.

Ross can say he wants to be more expansive. Pundits can tell us the stats say they’re more attacking than we punters think. But it’s an attitude that reveals itself across the game.

Yes, we do.

We actually try to play more attacking football and look so much better when we attack the corridor.

Our win vs Collingwood this year is ideally how we play.

I reckon we need Henry back in, play King as a CHF who uses his athletic abilities and need some game breaking mids (Phillipou hopefully will be this guy)

Our best vs our worst is the real issue, this is us at our bad.
