Round 14 Review
18 July 2026
The Saints produced a hard‑fought contest but fell short in the Round 14 clash versus Coolbinia Falcons at Richard Guelfi Reserve, coinciding with the Club’s Luke Champion Memorial Round.
The opening term was defined by defensive pressure, with forwards from both sides unable to convert. Coolbinia’s accuracy around the ground gave them a narrow 3‑point lead at the first break, 0.2 (2) to 0.5 (5).
The Saints found momentum early in the second quarter. Ruckman Kieran Guy broke the deadlock at the two‑minute mark, followed by goals from James Spicer and Alliston Pickett, as the Saints took control of the contest. Coolbinia responded late, but Stirling held a 9‑point advantage at half time, 3.3 (21) to 1.6 (12).
The Saints extended their lead in the third term, with Keenan Indich striking early before adding a brilliant second goal after weaving past three defenders. Stirling pushed the margin to 21 points, but Coolbinia surged back with three goals in the final five minutes of the quarter, reducing the gap to just four points at the final change, 6.5 (41) to 5.7 (37).
Coolbinia hit the front in the first minute of the last quarter and gradually took control. Despite chances at both ends, the Falcons steadied with a goal at the 13‑minute mark and added two more late to secure a 22‑point victory, 9.9 (63) to 6.5 (41).
Post‑match, coach Jack Babic praised the Saints’ effort across the first three quarters, but was disappointed with the final term fade out.
Earlier in the day, the Thirds were defeated by 51 points, while the Reserves — beaten by 29 goals in their previous meeting — showed significant improvement in a 33‑point loss to the unbeaten Falcons.
The Club celebrated the commitment of all 51 players who took the field, including 14 who played multiple games. Notably, James Spicer became just the second player in Club history to play three matches in one day — and the first to score a goal in all three.
