Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

..Effes, not at all, i'm talking about team selection and balance, don't worry about how they line up on the team sheet it's not played on a foozeball table.. ..you need 2 KPFs, and then you need 1 primary ruck and a decent backup that's your fwd/ruck.. ..3 'talls' up fwd, but you need them to be mobile and especially hard working.. ..and they need to co-operate.. ..just as important, is a smart kicking onball brigade and a couple of creative HFs..

Look. In my view it was a good win. No it wasn't pretty but the players stood up against a team that we have had trouble beating for the best part of a decade.

I liked having Rowe & Hendo up forward. Rowe is better than Casboult because he uses his body well and can actually put the ball through the sticks.

I especially liked the fact that our guys didn't shy away when the St Kilda players tried to turn it into a bitch-slapping contest. Most of the boys flew the flag in the argy bargy and to me that is a sign that Malthouse is trying to bring them out of their shells. Even Gibbs took a player out in the contest which was great to see.

Best game from Simmo in a long time, and Juddy was also fantastic.

agreed! and not forgetting Kreuz who played a terrific 100th.

Cool.

Thought we lost since we were so sh1t.

And Jeffy gave someone a bake.

Highlight of the night was him throwing the Saints stooge like a bag of laundry, winning the kick and letting him know .

Missed the goal, but that was almost incidental.

IIRC they were filthy on Geary after he stood on Murphy's feet during the previous encounter.

Hi Effes,
I haven't watched the second half yet. I will comment once I have.
Looks like he had a good game with those stats.

Good onya club

Interesting comments from MM

"He's equally as comfortable in the backline as he is in the forward line. We'll have to grow our backs and see whether we can use him on the forward line more often. If that's not the case he'll go back there."

Could only watch the first quarter and a half live. Just finished watching the rest.

Happily take the win, especially against the Saints, however it wasn't overly inspiring. The first quarter was ordinary.

Pleased we ground out the win against opposition we struggle against. Need to do the same next week.

Judd, Simmo, Hendo very good.

To me though our pressure and work rate fluctuate too much. Even during games. We still get opened up and scored against too easily.

I know MM is trying to instil a defensive orientated game plan however IMHO the balance is not quite right. We are playing without freedom, without flair, without instinct in my opinion. Though hopefully that may come if our confidence can return.

We are on our way back...

Sounds like defense first. Stop score against then worry about score for. I was all for Henderson forward this week. Just wanted Casboult out of there.

Not sure the Saints are a great measuring stick. No forward line to show us how much Henda is missed and no backline to show us how good Henda is as a forward. Still ill take his performance today as a plus. I haven't been as bullish about henda as defender as I have about he amount of wins we have with Gibbs behind the ball compared to onball. Henderson is all class.

Hope we chin North and Henda has a blinder.

He was that manhandled by Gwilt it was a disgrace but no protection from those parasitic umpires, touch Reiwoldt and its a free every day of the week

Freakin' knobs those umps are

terrible game
McInnes
Hendo should be captain
Rowes first half
best things to come out of it
rest not great
soo many front runners
Gibbs Yarran Gartlett Murphy not good enough
should pick Simmos and Judds brain on strong heart strings
Kreuzer doesn't get enough of the footy follows the ball too much needs to use his tank to find space

stKilda are pretty ordinary
This game almost doesn't count

Sticks your a flower
