Match Thread Saints v Power Round 16 2018

[derby Street]

I hope the journos ask Richo WTF he was thinking at the selection table this week.

Weller,Joyce, Longer, Gilbert and Wright we wouldn’t even beat Carlton we’ve these blokes in the team let alone a team in the top 4.

Newnes, Geary and Savage must be on borrowed time as well.

Newnes was very good today

Have a look at the replay - you might change your mind

[derby Street]

Kept on giving the ball back to them - we are turnover kings.

[Ape_Man]

Our skills by hand were attrocious today. I lost count of the amount of times we'd recieve a handball under pressure or have to stretch to get it and fall over in the process. It hasn't been that bad all year so hopefully it's just a one-off.

It was under 14’s in this department today.

Do we practice handball to moving targets at training?

Maybe we do, but only to win a man grab bag.

Having watched I’m not sure who you’re talking about.

we had port a top 4 team at home in their prime and we smashed em at times.

ADD / Change to Carlisle, McGovern, Long, Acres, Battle, Freeman, White, Rice, Marshall

[skeptic]

Armo has been good

30 disposals 3 goals is a great night by anyone's standards. Old school

Agreed. Where’s this guy been for 3 years

[Saintmatt]

Joyce - Why you wouldn't play coffield ahead of him is beyond me.

Or a Brandon White who can play AND hit a target ..

[Saintmatt]

Armo has been good

30 disposals 3 goals is a great night by anyone's standards. Old school Armo

Yep, he was very good

Certainly proved me wrong. I had him down as finished. Been good last few weeks. Certainly ok as a forward changing thru midfield.

Agreed. The worse thing is that an ageing, broken Armo is still a better version of Dunstan and Ross.

+1

And our top draft pick from this year as well.

Newnes was very good today

11 possessions and 1 point - He's no Cyril.

[silverhalo]

I think we take what we can for McCartin...........trade him out as he's just a liability down there, he ain't going to make it.

[The_President]

I am absolutely shocked to see that Gilbo and Wright failed to have an impact.

And who do you think I’ll change my mind on?

Newnes. (I didn't think he was very good at all - sorry if it differed from your view that he was good) And my comment on continually giving the ball back was about the team in general.

Having watched I’m not sure who you’re talking about.

I think derby Street was referring his comment to BringBackMadDog and not you.

[older saint]

Thought the effort and contest was good, just lacked skill and talent against a top 4 team on the road. Delivery into the forward line was poor - McCartin and Membrey given little help with the kicks in.
We are not a good list with our bet 22 so take out - Bruce/Battle, Carlisle, Acres, Brown, Roberton, Stevens, realistically effort and a contest is all you can expect

Despite displaying plenty of spirit and plenty of effort, the Saints ultimately lacked the necessary polish to upset the Power at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday. Having lost a number of forward options to injury during the week, it was no surprise that it was an inability to finish that ultimately cost them dearly. After displaying elite conversion against Melbourne, with 18 goals from 50 forward entries, it took them 22 inside 50’s before scoring their opening major against Port Adelaide.
