Autopsy 2025 AFL Round 3: Saints thrash Tigers

[Sol Goodman]

That was a really strong 2nd half. I'm just stoked for our younger players.

 

[StFly]

Special mention to the "I wanna be different" Rhyan, I look forward to your MRO excuses at a later date.

The excuses started by the commentators. Oh they are very young

Always the way, it's never us doing well in the moment it's "oh but they were suddenly losing both arms a leg and submerged, it was hardly fair..." as the media just can't handle us doing well.

As an aside, current AFL report has it as;

7.11 in score for them.
7.10 in written word.

To once again show how AFL media have one hand in their pants and the other in a phone to headbutt whatever they type.

How good by foot is Max Hall, we’ve got a gem there.

Can’t really remember too many games in recent years where we’ve actually piled on goals with all the momentum we’ve had. So often it just peters out to a 5-6 goal scrubby win.

We were behind about midway through the second quarter and won by 82. That second half was fun

His inside delivery into 50 was elite. Something we’ve been crying out for years

Sure the tigers are young and our seniors are better, but I hate that narrative so much. What a discredit to our guys. Not a bad match played by the lot of players below. Half of today's squad is 22 and under and they put up a 94point half


18 Travaglia
19 Garcia Wilson Hastie
20 Collard Keeler
21 Caminiti Owens Windhager
22 Hall NWM

OK it was an open game but it’s still nice to kick a score.

How long is his contract?

Need to be careful the Hawks don’t come back in for him, like they did with D’Ambrosio.

 

[Barrels]

I mean, just… why lie?

 

[mighty_sainters]

Our ball movement is beautiful to watch when everything is clicking. I have my fingers crossed King can get his body right, he will benefit so much from the fast transition from defence.

Reminds me so much of Sincs in his first year.

 

[Saint Shags]

Great second half. Considering who we had out as well! Need to let the drinks settle and watch with sober eyes

 

[bird_man]

Great second half, nice to get the percentage up over 100.

Plenty of talent in this side

 

[Ads734]

I can’t wait to see Naz keels and Lance keep linking up.

 

[Banger9798]

Caminiti had a terrific game, let's leave him there for a while

 

[sammm]

Windy, Owens, Nas, Sharman love them so mych

And Caminiti.

I didn't think much of Max Hall last year. I'll think I will eat my words.

 

[SteeleSaints]

What a win I dont think anyone saw a win of that magnitude coming. Everyone contributed with stars all over the ground, but most importantly was the games from our inexperienced players - Garcia, Hall, Travaglia, Collard, Wilson and Caminiti playing down back. Keeler slowed as the game progressed but he looked much better this week than last.

Its marvellous what confidence does for younger players, some of the physical efforts and chase downs by Collard this week were brilliant. I had been concerned he might not make it but thats been hushed in the past two games. Brilliant stuff Lance!

Seriously talented player.

Gets to the right spots and doesn’t waste possessions.

I hope him and Kingy spend an hour every day practising leading and kicking. Kingy would kick 100 snags just like Winmar to Plugger

 

[OxSaint]

Great way to finish. First half was a worry. Amazing to think we have King, Phillipou, Henry, Steele, Stocker and Howard to come back in. Throw in Tauru to start at Sandy.

 

[The Cobra]

Difficult first half - dragged down to their level by good Tigers gameplan.

Cracked em wide open in the second half. They aren’t much good but can only beat whats out there.

Enjoy the win! Bigger challenge next week.

 

[SaintersUnite]

The bloke who was spending all week asking for Collard to be dropped due to lack of pressure… watch the chase down tackle for [emoji638][emoji640] hours straight

!!!!!Yeah!!!! too.

a lil dullop of cream on top!

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

And Caminiti.

Caminiti I owe a huge apology to. Seriously thought he was nothing more than a stopgap in defence but he’s being crafted into a proper Josh battle replacement. Same height, lots of spoils, lots of marks both intercept and just linking up the play. Not afraid to crash the packs.
