Thanks TW.

Impressive running by Cripps and Curnow to link up after starting at half back.

Hope Fisher becomes one of those elusive Brent Harvey types who shit opposition fans to tears.

Thanks for that. From watching those highlights you'd think if Charlie can get his hands on the ball a little more that'll be a big factor in our growth as a side.

That was a massive win for us yesterday regardless of the result.
When we take it up to St Kilda at Etihad, you know we've improved. The upside is immense.
We frustrated them beautifully and they now know we can match them.
They will lose their bearings when Riewoldt retires.
After yesterday, It feels like we now have a team that can play at Etihad and any ground for that matter against any opposition.

Pros:
We did not give up all day
Young players had their moments at various stages - cannot wait till it is for longer periods
Defence did a sterling job given Saints inside 50's
Cripps, Murphy & Docherty were pretty good
Sizeable CFC fans in attendance
Enjoyed the biffo and it appeared so did the players

Cons:
I thought we lacked a bit of polish & run
Number of players had quiet games
Levi was poor and the gulf b/w his best & worst is too large. At a minimum he should put a few of their defenders out of business
Jack Stevens hairstyle is shocking


Levi didn't have a great game but it wasn't terrible either. We would have been eminently worse without him. He hurt several Aints today including crashing a pack to put Carlisle out for a while.

Levi - 8 disposals, 4 marks, 12 hit outs.
C Curnow - 8 disposals, 5 marks, 1 goal.

I thought Charlie had a good game. Levi with similar stats wasn't as impactful but he wasn't that bad.


You'd want Levi as the key forward to snag a goal or two surely?


Averages 1 goal a game. Based on that, his two goals last week covered him this week as well
Can we please bring in Jacksh and send either Whilte or Casboult back to the NBs???
Cas kept being being beaten by Carlisle in the air early, particularly the kicks out from our defence



Jacksh has done nothing in the Northern Blues games this year to deserve a call up. Levi might have had a quieter game this week but given Jacksh has not played 1 decent game for the NB's I do not understand people requesting Jacksch to get a game in the seniors. He has to earn it.



You're either on it or taking the...

So Saints players were acting like twats in the leadup. Who'd have thunk it.

Just not enough ball winning or run through the guts for mine.Not nearly enough inside fifties to give our forwards a chance.Backline terrific again.Building from the back is a good policy for mine.We are crying out for some ball magnets in the guts.There is a gaping hole there so those blokes in the magoos should be busting there backside as there is a seat in place waiting to be taken.Cunningham should rip it apart today in the magoos coz the seat is his if he dares to take it.And i also hold hopes for Palmer................................disappointingly all the kids were quiet today.Someone has gotta tell 'em ya gotta grab it while you are there coz there are plenty of hungry kids dying to grab your spot.Dont want these kids to feel comfortable in the place.Want 'em on edge determined to make every post a winner.

Very true Mick. Most of our kids had very quiet games. It highlights the good effort of our more experienced players that they could have us level in the last quarter against an in form team. Once we get consistency across the board, we'll be a far better side.
Once again the backline was fantastic and our defensive structures as a whole stood up against a team that was always going to test us with pace on the attacking side of the contest.

Kruezer was fantastic but I didn't like him lining up on a wing again. It gave the Saints the opportunity to gain the ascendancy from the first bounce at the stoppages. I also didn't like Simmo advising the defenders not to get involved when the melee was on.
Doc was great again. As was Marchbank and Rowe again performed well. ASOS was hard at it. For the forwards,SOS did his job well but I didn't like Wright playing a defensive role on Montagna. We struggle enough for goal kickers without taking them out of the play. Charlie shows glimpses. He's going to be a beauty.
Once again our experienced players were calling for the ball of Fisher when he's on his left side. FFS, have faith in the kid and win your own ball instead of sponging off the kids hard work. He's probably a better kick than the blokes who sponge off him.
Disappointing to see Daisy go backwards a bit again. After a good game last week, I was hoping he'd keep progressing. He wasn't anywhere near our worst but for an experienced player, he needs to show more on a consistent basis.

Overall, disappointing to lose but the signs are very promising.

I have no problem Simpson making sure we had a defence in place ready for the quick restart of play by the umpires to breakup the melee.

My reading of the Fisher incident was more about the fact that he didn't even give himself an arc to get back on his left. He was about 2-3 m clear and could've used the momentum to swing back on the left and shoot/pass. He appeared to stop and virtually go back into the Saints defenders

The St. Kilda flower fans reckon he spat on on Carlisle. As if he'd do it. Geez they're a bunch of flogs

i remember the flog when he was all full of juice and he rammed into murphy from behind in the goal square and nearly ripped his head off his shoulders , no free, no comments, no replay and even worse no reprisal
no sympathy, suffer you druggie flog, from one pretentious entitled flog club to a low life under achieving flog club

talking about flogs, brown on the footy show was proud how the four mud players ( especially the captain ) flew the flag against one player
does it surprise anyone?

Young talls like Curnow and Weitering really starting to mature but the midfield as we all know doesn't bat deep and the inside 50 count today illustrated that.
