Hickey BOG at Half Time

Post: # 1603106Post BigMart »

And you know I'm not a fan.... But credit where it's due

His best game as a saint... Because not only has he played well, he has flogged his opponent

Good stuff BigMart.

As you know I am a Hickey fan.

He and Stanley would have been an awesome combo.

Easily BOG and a big reason why we are competitive so far

He's been better on the ground than half the midfielders out there. He seems to love the responsibility of rucking all day and being able to go everywhere and anywhere.

Well I am a fan and he would have been my number 1 ruckman for the club last year.

Great game so far today.

Good on you marto...

While we're doing repenting, I'll shout out to Ross & Weller... Great halves... Really think they need to cement their place in the side this year in their 5th & 6th seasons in the system. Brilliant starts.

He didn't play a game this good in the VFL last year... In fact he was disappointing, and Holmes was preferred as their #1 ruckman.

But he's enjoyed lobbe's lack of mobility and jump. He has run rings around him.

If he can play half as good as that, he is our man.

Ross and Acres

Whilst slow are good footballers

It's whether their lack of speed stops them from being good in the AFL

I don't think Acres is slow, has the long loping stride which makes him appears slow.
He also has the knack of playing with a Pendlebury style watch.
He'll be a very good player

He always kicks under pressure... Because he is slow from hand to foot...

Blake runs ok in open space... Is slow around the contest

Hickey? Not in the best. Are you serious?

Why? When a number of Saints dropped off in the last quarter Hickey was one of the few that played well.

I have always been a Hickey fan and a Ross fan. Not so much Acres.

All three played well today

IMO Hickey plays better when he's the only ruckman in the team

Have been on Hickey since day one, and today he showed why. Has great agility and reflexes for his size, and moves really well for a big man. Will only get better.......

Barring injury - by the time he hits 28-29 he could be AA material.

Outstanding game by big Tom and never stopped in the last quarter.

Great to see Seb Ross have a top game; he was set to do this last year but that serious hammy late in the fist half of the fist NAB Cup match (he was BOG at the time) robbed him last year.

Took great heart from Acres performance also.

He did kinda kill it for three quarters.

His work when the ball hit the deck was quite impressive. Great second efforts... Repeatedly.
