Gus Brayshaw and Hogan last year, Oliver and Petracca and even Weeds at some point should have an impact this year good signs

he was well held after half time but some very important clearances, i personally feel 23 touches, 15 contested and 7 clearances or whatever it was should get him right in the mix for the rising star nod

2 interesting stats 1. Clayton Oliver had 15 contested touches, record for a first gamer is a tie between Jack Viney and Ollie Wines on 16 2. Jack watts had 100% disposal efficiency 4 score involvements and a goal in the last quarter

Jesse Hogan woke up

Has kicked 2 goals in a row since you posted this, but i agree

I hope they get the rocket to end all rockets at 3/4 time, especially Jesse

They're right on top but a couple of quick goals to us would really knock the wind out of their sails

if we want to play finals we need to win games like this. it's that simple

Reminds me a bit of the port game, they aren't going to beat us, we are handing them most of their scores on a plate.

we have dropped right off and they haven't made us pay, when we find our mojo again we will be fine

hogan needs to find a way to get involved and build some confidence

Jack Watts and Matt Jones have transformed, they are so far from the 2015 models it's crazy.

He doesn't duck his head the way Selwood does, he just wants it more than anyone else on the ground.

This is a totally different Melbourne team, weathered a bit of an early run on from the Giants and have hit back hard now, and still playing well below what i think they can, dominating out of the centre but not converting

Just lacking Polish, we have plenty of grunt but we still haven't nailed the outside game

The thing that baffles me is how the media seem to think that if Goodwin is coach we play attacking footy, if Roosy is coach we chip it around and it's not a plan they have worked on together. the best thing about the club right now is they seem to be united in what they're trying to do, i have no doubt we'd see the same game style regardless of who sits in the hot seat, because that's what the players have been training to do.

I would be so happy if we just belted them by 70-80 points, doubt it would happen but i just hate the Giants

Suns are pretty hard to get a read on this year.

I am predicting Jesse Hogan to redeem himself in a huge way, 14 marks, more than half contested and 6 goals straight in a dees 27 point win.

Short priced favorite to be our next captain i would have thought, huge chance at the Bluey this year as well, ready to explode as a player.

Anyone else get the sense the Saints may go backwards this year? i just feel they rely far to much on older guys and the young players just aren't that good, with a couple of exceptions

Cripps is a gun, did you see the shots of him next to carey? he could easily play as a key forward and look the part
