Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 9 2020

[saintbob]

Finished very well again this week, just need to nail that 3rd quarter.

[ace]

Paton turns Papley into Crapley.

[saintkid]

Parker continues to be lost out there.

Out for Long next game?

Yep

[SemperFidelis]

Sydney hoodoo over at last. Thank god

[saintkid]

Paton turns Papley into Crapley.

Paton is a beauty.

[The_Dud]

Great game, had one eye on it all night.

Sydney threw everything at us in the third, we held reasonably strong and they missed a lot. Then the flood gates opened in the last and we brought up the ton!

Great to see King kick 3, Hind flying through the middle, and I was really impressed with Gresh, love him in the forward line (as long as no set shots )

Paton turns Papley into Crapley.

Paton is a beauty.

Paton keeping Geary out of his trademark lockdown backman position is not something I expected but a welcome surprise!

[saintkid]

Paddy has his right hand heavily bandaged. Hope nothing major.
Jones BOG for me tonight.

[Kate]

Bring on the Suns!

[desertsaint]

Good win. Not sure why, in these shorter games, the boys feel the need to take the third quarters off.

[bigred]

We really should have won that by 90 points.

That third quarter is a worry. Need to get those lapses out of our game. Good sides would habe kicked 6 goals on us.

Last quarter was a clinic. We have.a beautiful brand of football to watch.

[The Fireman]

Ratten must be the happiest coach in the comp re depth.

[Scollop]

H Clarke how cool ?

Cool under pressure, hungry and fierce in tight and deadly with disposal. Likes a contested mark too

Fast becoming my second favourite player...the All Australian Jack Steele is my number 1

Abbott in next week to give the great man a spell & time to mend.

[Devilhead]

Happy with the win and the margin but we were pretty unconvincing at times - that 3rd quarter was putrid

Huge room for improvement

A couple of players heading towards elite status.

[Trev from the Bush]

Is Butler the best finisher around goal we’ve had since Milne?

Positive

[longtimesaint]

The backline we have is as good as we have had for a long time.
Mostly young which is very exciting with Howard, Patton, Clark and Coffield.

[samuraisaint]

Sydney hoodoo over at last. Thank god

I'll drink to that.
That's three long standing hoodoos in three weeks. Last three teams we have played had won their last ten matches against us!
EDIT: Port had won last eight - but I won't let facts get in the way of a good story

Geelong in ten nights going to be all important!!!

We know how much upside there is with Hunter Clark. He has the potential to be one of the very best in the competition.

It’ll be great for the for the whole club (and all the youngsters plus the team in general) if we have two or three players earning All Australian honours this year. I think Steele, Butler, Jones, Howard, Marshall and Gresham are a good chance.

[Ghost Like]

We have a genuine AA back pocket in our side. Paton is an absolute beauty. That is Betts, Gray(?) and Papley on his belt now. Very much like Nick Smith, possibly the best back pocket I've watched this century.

[Teflon]

Just super impressed yes challenged but most importantly responded that’s what matters

8 goal kickers such an even side I love what Hind brings to this side pace and some smart positioning

When King starts clunking look out

[fugazi]

Clark has arrived. Has the fitness and poise to realize his talent at this level.
Coffield tracking in a similar direction but not quite there yet. Give him another 5 games or so.
Great to see them maturing together.
Hind has taken Lonies spot.

Yep good spread of goal kickers and young fellas featuring with multiples. And great to see Max get 3 for the first time.

[The Fireman]

Pampley had his pants pulled down
