Dont get the last bit, he made the mistakes but we still won, how would it have made a difference if it was H&A?

Greater intensity in the proper season G2C. An outside of the boot torpedo that misses its target could make the difference between a W and an L.

I thought Daisy was one of our better players but he needs to play the percentages.

Watched the replay last night and being a little more relaxed noticed a few more things... just humble observations.

Liked Meat's game. Got better as the game wore on.

Hasn't been mentioned much, but I thought Daisy was also good.

Cuningham was disappointing. Might yet be Lucas mark II (Boekhorst was Lucas mark I).

Mullet must work on being, seemingly, frightened! Did some good things though. I suspect he's better suited to the wings than down back.

ZF is great the way he gets from contest to contest. Really good defensively, just like to see him take more possession and hurt the opposition more with disposal. He's a bloody little ripper though.

Garlett is going to be a beaut, genuine X factor.

Like to see Pickett be a whisker more selfish if that's the right word. The run down the wing was blistering, just trying to pass to a bloke when so close to goal was not the best choice - should have just nailed it, or passed off sooner.

Gee Kennedy did some great, unnoticed, work.

Big kid, picking on smaller kids. AFL level is a different kettle of fish.

Daisy was brilliant early.

He did some questionable things later, but....

Eddie Maguire spoke on triple m this morning about the lights at Ikon Park. He said they were terrible in our game, and terrible in his game. He said he spoke to a senior player who played in our game (didn't say which team) about the lights and unnamed player said it was very bad. A couple of times "players came out of nowhere" and you couldn't see the pick up the ball well enough to judge it sometimes.

Which senior player do you reckon Eddie Maguire just happened to have a chat too? My money is on Daisy as i'd doubt he'd have the number of many others...and truth be told, we don't even have many senior players on our list....nor the saints.

So....perhaps some of the silly things that Daisy and the others did on the night (and Curnofides springs to mind as well) were because players came out of the shadows and surprised them.

Either way, he suggested that the ground is unsafe for night footy, and at least partly that is because of the local residents, and something needs to be done because its a health and safety risk.

Might also explain Dow losing his teeth.

One thing that amused/annoyed me was the commentators continually making excuses for St Kilda, eg "Carlton needs to win this more than St Kilda!" 

The commentary team was unbalanced with Riewoldt and Del Santo talking to and about their mates but, throughout the telecast, there was an expectation that St Kilda would prevail.  No credit was given to Bolton or our players for a solid win over a Saints team that was as close to their best 22 as we were 

Thought Kennedy was quiet but his 15 disposals was pretty good given he only played a bit over a half.

Disappointingly I wasn't surprised by the commentary bias. Nothing new there. Except that it was at our spiritual home 
I was most fizzed off last season during our home game v Saints.  Nick Dal was on the boundary. The half time break was filled with drivel about the Saints. I thought part of the home game gig was the club has promotional opportunities. Must've got that wrong I suppose 

Liked Meat's game. Got better as the game wore on. He looks fitter, trimmer and more agile than I have ever seen him before

Like to see Pickett be a whisker more selfish if that's the right word. The run down the wing was blistering, I would like to see him use some of that blistering pace when he doesn't have the ball and become more of a 2-way player

Gee Kennedy did some great, unnoticed, work. Not completely unnoticed

I don’t think so.

Dow lost his tooth because his mouth guard was in his sock.

Reverse torpedoes off the outside of the boot aren’t the most obvious way to compensate for poor lighting 

Other players coped OK and our disposal efficiency was generally very good.

That's not reality.

Weitering wasn't even as tall as his CHF opponent in the AGS game he kicked 6, and in the MPFNL game he and Kieran Collins were against some very serious opponents even if the majority of the opposition team was ordinary.

btw., It's no accident we took Weitering at No.1, given he played several times in front of SOS(SOS at GWS and Carlton) and Brendan Bolton(Still at Hawthorn at the time), SOS had all the exposure he needed to make the decision and I doubt Bolton needed encouragement!

The amount of times these jokers said "St Kilda is now asserting its authority on this game" or words to that effect all but made me puke...

The Blues adapted more quickly to the windy conditions kicking the first four goals but the Saints outscored them, and controlled plenty of play from that point on.
