[westdog54]

This will be the first edition of the weekly "Saints and Sinners" thread. Once the game against West Coast is concluded post your nominations for no more than three "Saints", who did something positive that caught your eye, and three "sinners", who are in your scopes for criticism.

Please limit it to no more than three of each, but feel free to make honourable/dishonourable mentions.

Re: Saints and Sinners - Round 1 Vs West Coast

Saints-
- Dahlhaus enough said.
-Clay Smith
- Liam Picken-just ask Daniel Kerr!

Sinners
-Boydy for *!*!*!*! sake bring the jam tins to training and kick over them...pathetic.

-Big Will- So very disappointed with his effort today had his chance and just didn't take it.

- Jones- could have given us a real sniff in the third and just couldn't get the job done.

Re: Saints and Sinners - Round 1 Vs West Coast

Saints -
- as above
Liam Picken for shutting Kerr out of the game
Libba - battled manfully, ended the game in classic Liberatore style; claret pouring out his honker.

Sinners
Shaggy, couldn't kick to save himself today
Grant, What's going on in his mind? Looks sedated.
Brian - Had shovels of attitude for Josh Hill and Nicnat but was beaten, and threw in a few stupid free kicks just to add insult to injury.

Re: Saints and Sinners - Round 1 Vs West Coast

Saints -
Dahl - created heaps of opportunities
Smith - 4 Goals in game one..Great!
Libba/Picken - never quit, always in and under

Sinners -
Addison - struggled to punch the positions marking attempt at times, and Hill kicked 3 on him!
Jones - needs to kick goals and make most of his chances
WB as a team - kicking skills and decision making needs to improve

Re: Saints and Sinners - Round 1 Vs West Coast

Saints - Hopefully Port murder them
Dahlhaus and Smith outstanding

Sinners- Markovic ( got murdered one on one)
Minson - Sorry he ain't going to get there
Boyd- disappointing
Tackling- Ahhh chaps around the neck is a free kick
Grant - Comes on and runs around like he's playing a park match


Going to be a long year unfortunately

Marko did better than expected I reckon against a bigger, more mature player. More than once he managed to defend the mark.
Boyd, as usual, got so many possessions and such a good leader, he's hard to criticize but his bloopers reel is painful to watch.
Grant needs a shot of adreniline before he walks out on the field. So frustrating

Re: Saints and Sinners - Round 1 Vs West Coast

Saints - Dahlhaus, Smith (Callan Who?), Picken, T-Bone

Sinners, Grant (WTF?), Jones (you have two hands), Boyd (disposal)

???

He had 7 goals kicked on him, 7.

7 is less than 8 I suppose.
Markovic was awful, not sure why McCartney left him on him so long.

Better than expected - last year he kicked 10. I didn't say he had a great day.

It was ten last year. Is it too soon for The Positive Thread?

Re: Saints and Sinners - Round 1 Vs West Coast

I don't know why Grant was the sub. Either you start him or you don't play him at all. He was on a hiding to nothing given the game was cooked when he came on.

Re: Saints and Sinners - Round 1 Vs West Coast

Saints:

Smith, an excellent debut.
Picken, towelled up Kerr, should goto the most dangerous mid.
Libba, appeared to be very efficient.

Sinners:

Wood, just fluffed everything he went near.
Higgins, need more from him. Either produces as a forward or needs to go.
Grant, not mentally up to it.

Got his pantsed pulled down. Not good enough

Re: Saints and Sinners - Round 1 Vs West Coast

Saints - Smith, Libba, Dahlaus, Murphy & Picken

Sinners - Jones that 3rd quarter really killed us, Higgins, that 3rd quarter playing as a loose man in the back line he couldn't impact the game with no opponent. Gia and Boyd for poor kicking.
