St Kilda’s finals hopes look all but gone while the Brisbane Lions are on course for a top-four finish yet, on a chaotic Friday night at Marvel Stadium, things could have finished differently.
“He’s been building, I thought Rayner was ready to do that last year and then he did his knee before the season even started, so I’m just so pleased for him with all the work he has put in,” Lions coach Chris Fagan said.Saints star Brad Crouch was among St Kilda’s best, but he will need something special at the tribunal to avoid a suspension after a late, high bump on Darcy Gardiner in the first half.
“There were two aspects to it - our inability to score the goals when we created some good opportunities,” Saints coach Brett Ratten said.Wood’s goal-kicking on the run was a highlight for the Saints, as was Seb Ross’ tireless performance with 32 possessions, while Lachie Neale, Hugh McCluggage and Dayne Zorko were too much for St Kilda for much of the night, although Zorko and Neale conceded some needless free kicks in the second half.
As some on Twitter joked, perhaps Saints midfielder Brad Crouch should start booking his off-season holiday after his late bump on Lions defender Darcy Gardiner in the second quarter.
