Two 'clever' moves that sparkes Saints 'procession'; $5.4m star thrives in new role: 3-2-1.

When Ryder and Marshall are in the same side, the Saints win 68 per cent of the time. It’s a case of ‘don’t let him get that side of me and block his run’ … because the damage that CJ does is when he’s holding the ball and tucks it under his arm and he takes ground. “It’s the blueprint of Bradley Hill at his best, what we’ve seen so far,” Ling told Channel 7. If both of them are out, they only win 25 per cent of the time. “He knows the leading patterns, he knows how to lose his opponent and he knows how to jump and take a mark.” But the Saints generated ample momentum late in the quarter. Triple All-Australian Eddie Betts added: “When Hawthorn attack the ball, they’re looking good. They’re not doing anything like that. “But as soon as the ball gets to him, either Saints player gets to him and make sure he has to dish off. And when Tim Membrey marked and goaled from just inside 50, the Saints had a 16-point lead at quarter-time. The use of Hill as a forward was particularly crucial for the Saints against a Hawthorn side that has several half-backs that like to play with dare and dash. But the Hawks couldn’t capitalise on their momentum and territory at the start of the term while the Saints quickly hit back, with Gresham, Membrey, Hill and Ryder all respectively kicking their second goals of the game to extend their team’s lead to 33 points.

But the Crows reeled in the Bombers and Essendon led by eight at half-time, as Will Snelling (calf) was substituted off for Devon Smith. The Bombers led by seven at the first break and big goals to Wright and Caldwell gave them a 16-point lead midway through the second quarter He put two goals on the board from free kicks in the first two minutes after he was pushed in the back by Paton and then caught the Saints defender holding the ball. Ryder kicked two goals from 10 disposals but will attract scrutiny from the match review officer over a late bump on Will Day, who was substituted out of the match with a concussion. But the Hawks clash was a comparative Sunday stroll as St Kilda posted their highest score under Brett Ratten in the 22.10 (142) to 10.13 (73) win at the MCG. Earlier, Essendon got off the mark in 2022 with a narrow and tense win over Adelaide, while a red-hot St Kilda side wiped Hawthorn off the MCG.

"We had a disappointing performance today. That’s been the mindset of our players and the flexibility. I think something similar happened this time last year, so it’s not ideal," Mitchell said. "He'll go and play half-back again. "I thought we built our game, across the board we stuck to what we were trying to do and it worked really well." It's going to hurt somebody; he was quite open there.

In-form St Kilda surge past Hawks in AFL (The West Australian)

Tim Membrey and Jade Gresham both kicked goals in each quarter and Jack Sinclair starred in St Kilda's comfortable AFL win over Hawthorn.

"With the type of game that we want to play, we can't afford (to do that) against any side. "We couldn't withstand their pressure at the end of the day and we had nine turnovers in our defensive 50, which causes nine scoring shots for them," Hawks coach Sam Mitchell said. "But we built our game and across the board we stuck what we were trying to do and it worked really well. But the Hawks clash was a comparative Sunday stroll as St Kilda posted their highest score under Brett Ratten in the 22.10 (142) to 10.13 (73) win at the MCG. Jack Sinclair, Jack Steele and Brad Crouch were important for the Saints in a win coach Ratten said would build belief and momentum. Emerging superstar King had grabbed the two previous games by the throat when the Saints needed a hero to step up in frantic finishes against Fremantle and Richmond.

Saints put Hawks to the sword as four-goal quartet fire (St Kilda FC)

St Kilda has pieced together a superb performance over Hawthorn, moving to 3-1 off the back of a 69-point triumph at the MCG.

The next generation academy graduate looked comfortable at the level and might play plenty of senior football in his first season. Day remained on the ground for the closing minutes of the half but was substituted out of the game during the main break, which was the only sour note on a great day for the Saints. After producing impressive wins over Fremantle in Perth and Richmond at Marvel Stadium in the early weeks of 2021, St Kilda went to another level against Hawthorn, getting on top early and never taking the foot off the pedal to stroll to a 22.10 (142) to 10.13 (73) win. While Jack Steele has emerged as on the best midfielders in the AFL in the past two seasons, winning back-to-back Trevor Barker Awards and All-Australian blazer, Jade Gresham has barely been on the park due to a ruptured Achilles and a long-term back injury. Max King has dominated all the headlines in the past fortnight following two stunning bursts to put the Dockers and Tigers away late, and the 2018 No. 4 pick repeated the performance with three fourth-quarter goals, finishing with four for the day and moving to 13 for the season. St Kilda has stamped itself as a team determined to return to September after moving to 3-1 on the back of three consecutive wins.

St Kilda looked to escape the game with a clean bill of health, while Hawthorn were forced to sub off Will Day due to concussion. After coach Brett Ratten said that his team was “too Max King focused”, the Saints shared the goals around as Tim Membrey (four goals), Jade Gresham (four goals), Bradley Hill (four goals), Dan Butler (two goals) and Paddy Ryder (two goals) all kicked multiple majors – while King chimed in with another four of his own. “(Gresham is a) class act, not to the level obviously – he’s got a fair few accolades to reach and premierships to win if he wants to be Dustin Martin,” Barlow said.

A powerful victory may come at a cost with Paddy Ryder bump likely to come under scrutiny.

Then just over a minute later he snapped from distance to make it two goals in the opening two minutes. Box Hill got the job done at the MCG earlier in the day over Sandringham in an old-fashioned curtain raiser that we rarely see anymore. The next generation academy graduate looked comfortable at the level and might play plenty of senior football in his first season. He kicked the first goal of the game within 32 seconds after slotting a set shot at the city end. But after producing impressive wins over Fremantle in Perth and Richmond at Marvel Stadium, St Kilda went to another level against Hawthorn, getting on top early and never taking the foot off the pedal to stroll to a 22.10 (142) to 10.13 (73) win. IT ENTERED the season as one of the great unknowns, but a month into 2022 St Kilda has stamped itself as a team determined to return to September after moving to 3-1 on the back of three consecutive wins.

St Kilda v Hawthorn - The Four Points - The Mongrel Punt (The Mongrel Punt)

The Saints flexed some muscle at the MCG and humbled the Hawks by 69-points. Tim Hunt has the review for The Mongrel, with his four points.

For the Hawks, it was a bit of a return to Earth after the highs of the first three weeks. Watching the Saints, you get the impression that Steele is the type of guy that wouldn’t ask you to do something he wouldn’t do himself. They rarely, if ever, get in each other’s way and stretched the Hawks defence to the point where Hawthorn were forced to station one of their wingmen on the defensive point of the centre square, with this player quickly rushing inside defensive 50 the moment the ball was bounced. Instead of playing him from behind, the Saints prioritised trying to play Jiath from in front, meaning that anytime he got the ball he was met with a Saints forward taking up all of the space for him to run into. The result was somewhat akin to Sonny’s death in The Godfather – a long, drawn-out scene of shocking violence that leaves the audience gasping. Hill compiled 23 disposals, nine marks, seven score involvements, five inside-50’s and a career-high four goals into today’s game, and left me wondering if he’s had a better game than that for the Saints. He had some good games last year (including in their previous encounter with the Hawks) but I don’t reckon he’s had more impact on a game for the Saints than he did today. Well, dear reader, this was the part of the game I was most excited to watch. In the around-the-ground contests, they need to constantly bump and wrestle their opponent as they try to win the ball to their team’s advantage. Marshall is a more traditional ruckman who is happy to engage in a wrestle with his opponent, try to push forward and hit the scoreboard where he can, and play as the extra number in defence when required. Ryder, on the other hand, is at his best when he can jump, get first hand to the ball, and drop it down the throat of one of his midfielders. Heading into the game today, the ruck battle appeared to be one of the key areas where the match would be won and lost. Together, Marshall and Ryder form the best one-two ruck duo in the comp, and it’s their differences in approach that make them so hard for teams to try and defeat.
