Friday, June 11th, 2010St Kilda vs. Melbourne – Round 10 match recap
Sunday, May 31st, 2009St Kilda –11.17 (86)
Melbourne – 6.10 (46)
St Kilda are a very good side but were pushed by Melbourne in the first half of this game. In the end the class of St Kilda came over the top of the valiant Demons. The Saint’s midfield was dominant in the second half of the game and St Kilda eventually put that result on the score board. Strangely though, Melbourne has gone two whole weeks without conceding the first goal from a center clearance.
Turning points of the match
After the bounce of the ball to start the second half Melbourne didn’t score another goal, including a scoreless third term, it would seem that St Kilda really turned the volume up in the third quarter.
Key Players for the St Kilda
Leigh Montagna – Was up against Cale Morton, he demolished him with 13 tackles and 31 possesions
Lenny Hayes – 35 disposals is pretty sexy
Key Players for Melbourne
Mark Jamar – Where have you been? 29 hitouts and 6 tackles (they would hurt), only 2 kicks though.
Colin Sylvia – Fairly consistent, he is a different player to last year.
Musings from the match
- Why the eff was this on the Gold Coast, what a dud fixture, it’s not like Melbourne or the Saints are ever going to be popular up there
Melbourne can’t play 4 quarters - Nick Riewoldt killed Matthew Warnock
- Jarred Rivers beat Justin Koschitzke
- James McDonald tagged Nick Dal Santo
- Milne didn’t play and Jason Gram was the late replacement
- Brad Miller was a dud
- Melbourne needed Russell Robertson for a marking target. He had 9 shots on goal this week at Casey so he should be straight back in for the Queen’s Birthday game on Monday
- Melbourne really needed Jamar’s height this week, he was a welcome inclusion
SuperCoach news
Aaron Davey had a hard tag this week again, that’s probably evidence of his great form, but it also shows he can’t shake a tag that well. It’s very interesting for SuperCoaches. All the usual St Kilda suspects hit triple figures. Jack Grimes had a heap of it as loose man back, this will probably continue through the season unless he gets a man on him. He gets a lot of cheap marks and kicks back there.
