Bit of an ordinary game to watch and I felt the Saints tried to make its scrappy and drag us down to their level which is woeful....
Credit to Murphy he has been under pressure and lifted when required.....Bell did well with his four goals but we have seen it before and he needs to back up next week.
Boekhorst was handy on debut but its hard to get a handle on players form as it was such an ordinary game and the real test for some our newbies will be next week.
Jones and Cascoult were dissapointing , been on Touhys case this season but he was good last week and good again today...
Wood was ok but Longer was one of the Saints best and we need to get Kruezer back into the team to help Wood...
Take the 4 points and it must give some confidence for the Pies next week although they were good vs Essendon and will be hard work...
I would expect Cripps to be tagged heavily next week and some attempt made to rough him up...
I like what we have recruited. Creates a good start in a rebuild.
Jones is as bad as Levi kicking at goal. At least Casboult's playing as a relief ruckman and getting marks and touches so doing a job. I don't want two actual ruckmen in the side, it tends to make both ineffective. Casboult plays the right role there. Jones is play KP and not giving us alot. I think Watson can take his place next week after a good game with the NBs today. For all his faults Bell generally contributes, a few ordinary disposals is made up for by his aggression around the ball and regularly hits the scoreboard.
Very happy with the 2nd half, lots of pressure and alot more run. Turned around 66pts.
