Round 16 Review
1 August 2026
The Saints were unable to maintain their early momentum in Round 16, falling to the Warnbro Swans by 58 points at Richard Guelfi Reserve.
Stirling opened strongly, applying forward pressure and capitalising through goals to Michael Warrell, James Spicer and Kane Yates. Warnbro responded with a single major, leaving the Saints ahead by 12 points at the first break, 3.1 (19) to 1.1 (7).
Warnbro shifted the tempo immediately in the second term, kicking truly in the opening minute. There was a stalemate over the next 15 minutes, with both sides struggling to convert inside 50. Warnbro eventually broke the deadlock with three goals in three minutes, overturning the margin and building a 12‑point lead at half time, 5.4 (34) to 3.4 (22).
The third quarter belonged entirely to Warnbro, who controlled field position and added goals at the 5, 10 and 15 minute marks. The Saints were held goalless for a second straight term, and the Swans extended the margin to 36 points by the final change, 9.6 (60) to 3.6 (24).
Warnbro continued their dominance early in the last with a goal at the two‑minute mark. Michael Warrell briefly lifted the Saints with his second major at the 4-minute mark, but Warnbro closed out the match with three more goals to seal a comprehensive 13.10 (88) to 4.6 (30) victory.
For the Saints, Scott Trickey worked tirelessly on the wing, while James Spicer impressed with his versatility, contributing at both ends of the ground. Midfielders Marcus Lazic and Harrison Tyler again provided strong efforts in the engine room.
In the earlier Reserves match, the Saints trailed by just two goals at half time before fading in the second half to lose by 49 points. Despite the result, the side featured five players under the age of 20, offering promising signs for the club’s future rebuild.
