Fair enough

He is loving playing for the Saints

[Otiman]

I hadn't followed his career before joining us, but would the bulldogs final and last weeks game be the best he's ever played?

[SunnyErnie]

Good on him. I hope he plays again next year and at 5pm on the last Saturday in September he is holding up a big cup!!!

[B.M]

0 possessions in quarters 2 & 3

He wasn’t bog

Crouch was

[Vortex]

A caller to SEN radio today claimed we have won 70% of our games when Paddy and RoMa have played together. How lucky are we to have front row seats.

Anyone know a mad scientist capable of giving Paddy eternal youth then please contact the club.

[Milne]

He was brilliant but Crouch should have been BOG

[BringBackMadDog]

0 possessions in quarters 2 & 3

He wasn’t bog

Crouch was

10 coaches votes so I guess he was BOG

[Scollop]

Some people understand that ‘moments’ in a game matter.

Some people believe that the Best On Ground should be the player who has the greatest impact on the day

These same people understand the award of ‘Best On Ground’ to mean the ‘most influential player’ to end result…In this case, both coaches saw that guy to be Paddy.

Saintsational had a mix of Sincs, Crouch, Paddy and Gresh getting BOG and I wouldn’t have been surprised if someone had given Seb top votes for his game either.

On the other hand…there are people who believe that the decision should be based on the most possessions on the day or in many cases the player who dominated his position. That’s fair enough too.

You’ll get the rare occasion where Everyone is in agreement that there is a clear Best On Ground.

Coaches and ex players with a feel for the game and even the umpires and general public have given Cripps top votes AND his team has gone down. I've seen Patrick Cripps dominate games where Carlton ended up losing so BOG is not always going to go to the team that wins.

Crouch had 10 score involvements

36 touches to f the footy

That’s hard to beat imo

[Killa]

Ryder was the match winner

With his ruck work and with his possessions

He makes our midfielders walk taller

Both coaches awarded him the maximum 5 Votes

Plus he is regarded at the Club as he is for a reason

It was a proud day for him with his family members present for the Award he received

What an inspired pick up by St Kilda

That’s the difference between what a supporter sees and what the two coaches and those who understand the game. saw.

Both coaches obviously believe Ryder was the biggest influence on the match.

Meanwhile us mugs see who got it the most and the stats sheet.

[Killa]

And just to add, Gresham was electric

[Scollop]

Crouch had 10 score involvements

That’s the measure now is it? Last week against Melbourne you gave Crouch best on ground and he only had 2 score involvements. Mason Wood had 4 against Melbourne.

Our most consistent midfielder for score involvements (SI) this year is Jade Gresham followed by Seb Ross. By the way…Highest SI tally this year is Max King who leads that category for the Saints.

Last week Dougal Howard was the Dare Sainter of the Round

It really doesn’t matter who gets the accolades each week as long as the team keeps winning.

If Crouch keeps up this sort of form and consistency there is no reason why he can’t win the Trevor Barker Medal
