Preview Round 3, 2023: St.Kilda v Essendon - MCG, Saturday 1st April, 7:25PM AEDT *150 YEARS OF THE SAINTS*

[jh38]

I'll be interested to see how we go with the larger spaces of the G.
Love reading up on everyone being so pumped. 2020 was good, but everyone knew it was compromised, and it was more about happiness just being able to enjoy a game at all.
I'm optimistic, but reserved. But man, how good would it be to get one back on these f*cks?

It'll either go really well or really poorly. The zone might have a few growing pains playing on a larger ground, but on the contrary it gives us a lot more room to run and carry. I tend to think the latter will be the case, we've played the G very well the last few years, bar the Melbourne game last year.

Did anyone actually watch Essendon play Gold Coast? They play slow, uninspired football. They won’t score a goal (without umpire interference) until after half time.

They reminded me of watching St Kilda with Cho as coach.

Without umpire interference we would have had at least one clean sheet

We have allowed 93 points in 2 games against what were tipped to be top 6 oppo.
Essington has allowed 145 points in 2 games against an actively tanking Horx and the travelling failed experiments of the GC.
If the ball even makes it into their forward 50, it will transition quicker than someone just sentenced to 20 years.

I'm not usually one to get carried away, but, Saints by 10 goals.

Mason Wood is licking his lips at the proposition. He'll open them up like a Christmas PS2 in 2000

Redman to bath Jack Higgins if he even gets picked.

Imagine having an injury list 13 deep and Higgins is in your bottom 2-3 players.

I can't even name 13 Essendon players.

Even if we lose, it’s going to be funny watching us out troll the Essendon trolls who make their way into this board - win win really

I too don’t usually get carried away, but **** it, let’s get a bit wild. Phillipou to get the rising star nom is my prediction and Saints to win handily, could be a night for the ages if it’s another 50+ point belting.

As long as the players themselves don’t get too cocky I think we’ll be more than okay, keen as a bean.

Robbo gurgle-burped on 360 again.

Typifies Essington and their fans really.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

c'mon man, if your gonna stir up at least be creative cause that's as boring as someone potting your club winning one flag in 150 years of existence

do better please

The pace at which your supporters dropped off when things got a little tough shows what your mob is made of.

We’re celebrating 150 years of survival. Of a vibrant, passionate, unbelievably loyal supporter base.

None of you weak campaigners would understand any of that with your tainted flags, bandwagon supporters & the like.

Jog right on ya little green midget.

Anyone know the dimensions of Moorabbin? Could be close to the size of the G?

I've attached the outline of Moorabbin oval and surrounding facilities. Hope it helps.

G is a bit larger at 160m x 141m

I found these measurements as how up to date the RSEA one is, who knows.


So about a goal square longer & the width allows our Titanic to complete a circle without going over the boundary.

I think that’s total grassed area, but yeah either way - a tad smaller

Is that an example of what is on social media?
OMG.
Boomer liking his privacy even more!

 

[Spider Eater]

Will Zerk-Thatcher play? Looks like a good young player, but was icing his ankle after yesterdays game.

Not sure what a"Zerk-Thatcher" is... but keep it away from the children.

 

[Present Not Past]

Brendon Goddard, one of my favourite all time Saints will be demanding nothing but a victory over his old team.
So glad we have St Kilda legends coaching at the club now.

According to Google it’s a cross between some sort of grease nipple and a former UK Prime Minister
