Goddard had 24 handballs. Mostly on the half back line, in a panicked motion to a team mate because he had no idea what to do with the ball. He wasn't that good

Riewoldt although had lots of the ball was well held by Frawley.

I thought Gwilt had 5 good minutes in the whole game.

I missed the game, but were we really so poor across the board that Lyon couldn't find a single vote?

[Guest Artie Bucco]

I think it was more a case of there being NO standout damaging players, so the votes were given based on stats.

It was a fairly lacklustre match devoid of any flair.

Lyon should remove his hand from it, they were very lucky to walk away witha win, let alone have the 5 best on the ground

Any chance Artie that the votes you have listed for A & B could be reversed for the coaches?

Yeah, well & truly.

I assumed their identity and I also assumed where the single votes went, as they were interchangeable (as always).

Don't take my word as gospel, kids.

Sounds like Baileys game plan, no wonder he gave him votes.

I'm pretty sure those were the 5 minutes he spent playing on, and out-marking, Michael Newton. Tough ask that.

When Watts was playing against him he tore him a new one on the lead.

Disgraceful voting.

Who cares. I bet the coaches take all of 2 seconds to do these votes.

One thing for sure was that St Kilda's half back line got on top somewhere, so one of the coaches may have been keen on Gwilt. How can we even know it was Bailey who went 3 votes for Martin and/or 1 for vote Gysberts.

St Kilda certainly seemed to consider Martin a threat by half time. They put a lot of effort into teaming up on him after that, getting someone to make sure he couldn't leap and having a third-man-up at most ruck contests, as well as others protecting the third-man-up from getting blocked. They are past masters at covering up for deficiencies by using solid & disciplined team structures.
