The Saints are officially scaring the shit out of me.
22 disposals from 60% time on ground, mind you. When you have spuds like Barham, Toovey and Brown holding down a spot in the team, then surely someone with actual talent like Sidebottom stays in. Even with Didak, Medhurst, Davis, Anthony and maybe Beams to come back in you've got those three spudding it up, plus Cloke confirmed out and Swan, Thomas and Fraser under injury clouds. Sidebottom has to stay.
It'll be interesting to see if they can sustain this standard of footy. They're basically playing finals football now. Very hard at the contest and extreme pressure on opposition ball carriers. They could be peaking too early, because it's such a high impact style that they're playing. 22 weeks of that may see a few weary and tired bodies.
Definitely not saying that's what will happen, but it's something to consider. For now, I'm really enjoying their brand of footy.
So who's up for going to the footy round 14?
Sure will be. But Strife, we will be out of the country then, bloke. We'll have to make sure we're in a city with an Aussie pub so we can watch it.
