Pies running through the banner
The Pies went into the game as underdogs, as they were missing important players John Anthony, Alan Didak, Paul Medhurst, and Leon Davis. And sure enough, those outs were enough to render the Pies useless in front of goal.
The first quarter was reasonably equal in terms of skills and possession time. The end result of the opening 20 minutes was 1.4.10 to 3.3.21, the Saints leading.
However, St Kilda dominated the last 3 quarters to beat the Pies by 88 points. The final score being 20.8.128 to 5.10.40.
St Kilda dominated the play during the remaining 3 quarters, out-classing the Pies easily, with the Pies being made to look like headless chooks! Pies players continued to handball to team mates in worse positions that themselves, resulting in turnovers. (more…)
