I said it in the match thread too, but Lingyâs burn on him was actually pretty funny.
I didnât say Carlisle was sh*t.
I said that Carlisle rates himself higher than he actually is, and he underestimated the behemoth Daniher now is.
Carlisle has been out of the game for 12 months, and Daniher is leagues ahead when it comes to talent.
Does he? He rates himself higher than he is, does he?
Right.
Well, next time you see him, you tell him not to be so uppity, and to mind his place.

With such a good win itâs easy to forget how putrid the umpires were in the 2nd quarter. We were lucky StKilda were not good enough to take advantage of it.
Yes. The umpires seem to bet getting more and more incomprehensible.
I thought Carlisle was good.
I also noted that his conduct toward his ex-teammates was spot on. There was no big headed or hot headed behavior. He even intervened with bellchambers and a saints player at one stage. His exchanges with JD at the start of the game were sportsman like. He and Hooker seemed to be on good terms. Iâm not sure he warrants criticism tbh.

Canât remember who the commentator was but I destinctly remember him saying in regards to Mark Athorn playing on Micheal Long âsherly heâs to quick and talented for himâ. Yes, yes he was.

After Joeâs mark in the goalsquare for his fourth:
It was genuine one-on-one contested mark that weâd still be talking about if he hadnât already pulled down the skyscraper. Whatâs TBell saying, does anyone think?

Smash more cans?
Donât know if itâs been mentioned but I loved the role Hooker played - popping up down back for a crucial mark or spoil when needed.

How good now when he takes the big marks you donât immediately have to think âhope we keep it in our forward 50 after this pointâ

It was a massive performance, gave the Saints absolutely nothing. I thought this review was an interesting oneâŚ
A mere six days after setting the football world alight with a sensational dismantling of Richmond, St Kilda had no answer to the maniacal pressure and effort from an Essendon side intent on keeping their finals hopes alive.

Saints were going into the game 9 - 6, far from rubbish. They put in a rubbish performance, because we dictated play, and the game was played on our terms.

One thing weâre finally doing is what every other club has been doing for a couple years, THROWING THE FRICKEN BALL or DROPPING IT to a teammates advantage.
It ainât pretty, but we needed to keep up with the trend.

Pretty sure Greeny yelled out âthis is for the brothersâ when he banged that one through in the 4th quarter.
