17 13 115

More goals than points
More than 10 goals
More than 100 points
Positive. Pleasing.

[desertsaint]

Drop him. Long in - Newnes out. Only change needed.

sing the song

Oh look we’re back in control and all of a sudden the umpires stopped cheating against us. Their plan must have been to only cheat during the third quarter.

It's baffling that the free kick count is 16-26.

Meh......swings and roundabouts.

Meh......more like swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, swings, and roundabouts.

Well done saints.
Fix those 3rd quarters and we’re a team!

LOL.....only in Perth does that rule actually apply.

Great win Saints!

Pity some are more concerned about clueless sooking!

Agree

Anyway, WELL DONE SAINTS!!! Great work!!

[st.byron]

31 scoring shots. Previous best this year 26. Mostly in the low 20’s or below.

[st.byron]

There is hope.....what a welcome feeling

Nice win boys.

Positives
Marshall - Wowwee. Have we got a player.
Clark - see above.
Lonie - our best small forward by far.
Acres - in the middle.
The big 3 at the back.
Ball movement.
Kicked 100pts.
Doultan nice first up game and goal.
Getting the win!!
(Little shout out to the Coff. Reckon he's starting to show a bit)

Negetives (not many)

Newnes - just doesn't do enough (trade)
Ross - guy has fallen off a cliff. Disposal and desicion making is woeful (tradebait?)
Parker - great contest. Terrible disposal.(needs another preseason)

Will be nice waking up tomorrow.

Damn
I love it when our team wins.
But can we take the win without the 4 points.
This probably means the Saints can no longer finish 2nd bottom and get a super gun midfielder as a reward.
This year pick 3 and above will be no where near as good as picks 1 & 2.

agree with most

already knew Marshall is a star.

Parker we persist with.

[ace]

How good is Adam Skrobalak.
Takes over a forward assistant coach and in a matter of a few days delivers not only kicking accuracy but scoring efficiency from his charges.
Gift wraps a win for stand-in coach Brett Ratten.
Such a vast improvement on previous forward assistant coach .................... Brett Ratten.

[wasoncestkil58]

Parker worked pretty hard today. I thought he wasn't too bad today

[jonesy]

Well derrrrr!!!!
Get rid of the worst coach in the club's history and the goals pile on. Ironical cheers
Two years lost to stupidity. Young players who had there careers smothered now get there chance

As extreme as that sounds, I actually think it's pretty close to the money.

Let's not get carried away.
The Saints LOST.
LOST the last 3 quarters.
There still exists the grey ghost.
The worst list in the competition.
When they try they are competitive but that grey ghost can not be denied.
The skill level of many regular players is below AFL standard.
Failure to hit a target especially by foot results in turnovers catching everyone out running the wrong way.
It only take 10 more turnovers per match than your opposition to turn an excellent effort into a losing score.
Only half the team missing one target, one more time than the opposition, and you LOSE.
St Kilda's recruiters have not paid enough attention to the skill levels at draft time.

A game goes for 4 quarters though.
