Arie was out for second week in a row with concussion according to broadcast

Final score Sandy 20.14.134 to Tigers 3.6.24 Hard to know how much to read into that vs a very poor and depleted Tigers side, but some good signs from the AFL players. Garcia BOG from what I saw, classy kick, wins his own football in the clinches, going to be very good for us. If Pou earnt his spot ...

Garcia is going to be the contested mid ball winner we’ve been dying for

3/4 time Sandy 13.9.87 to Tigers 3.6.24 Sandy far and away the better team in a scrappy wet game. A lot of chances at goal went skidding out of bounds or missed. Garcia looking good, Crouch dominating. Keeler playing well driving out of the backline and good defensively. Byrnes did some nice evasive...

Flicked it on after halftime again. Turned into a bit of a wet scrap.

Hastie a couple of bad mistakes down back and was lucky not to cough up goals. Campbell taps looking good, Crouch extracting well, and Moose Heath with 2 goals.

Arie not playing again, still under concussion protocol?

We're stuffed Laughing stock I'm not contributing to this thread because I agree with the title. I don't want Lyon sacked...but ffs!! We just need to try and play with a little freedom and release the shackles. No more tagging. No more restrict, defend, kill the footy. Let's aim to be a team who ki...

We need a complete overhaul. Genuinely looking like one of the worst in the comp at the moment. Could lose to West Coast in two weeks at this rate.

Dow 57% TOG
Collard 45% TOG

Bizarre to bring players in and barely play them

Has Dow even been on the ground since half time?

Collard’s barely been on the ground, 46% game time from 3/4

Or maybe not made a sub at all… Jones been shocking so far

Probably should have subbed Pou

That was absolutely useless by Dougs

Feel like there’s a lack of connection or poise. How often do we kick or handball it to places teammates aren’t, or handball to teammates immediately under pressure. Frustrating to see this week in week out

5 goals for a half is FVCKED

King’s been good

Who thinks Heath will make it at AFL level? Good competitor, hard nosed but I don't think he has it for athleticism and running capacity to be an AFL ruck. As a midseason draft pickup the odds were always going to be against him. The list of those who have made it are few and far in between. Marlio...

Dow in, let's see what he can do Collard to kick goal of the year tonight, hopefully not starting as the sub Wilson another Rising Star winning performance We kick over 10 goals, Max kicks 5 Stay Positive, Sainters Worst case it's just a game and you get to spend time out and about with your wife an...

Also of note

"Midfielder Brad Crouch has recovered from a knee injury, but will return via the VFL."

Still no sign of that degenerative knee injury that's going to force him to retire, but I'm sure that will pop up soon...

Just checked the stats. Sinclair attended 13 centre bounces. That's good imo. He needs to be part of the midfield and the more time he spends in the middle, the better the group getting used to having him there. Owens attended only 3 ctr bounces for the entire match. That's crap! Just start him at ...

Batchelor player review

https://www.saints.com.au/news/1554812/ ... -wonthaggi

Van Es moved to LTI - out for season


Think that opens up a spot for the midseason draft if we want to use it

Allison, Crouch, Hotton fitness tests to play this week
Butler + Arie 1 week away (Arie concussed it seems which explains why no VFL)
