Probably a silly question but I'm taking my missus on Saturday and she's not a member, do I need to wait til after the members ticket sale to buy her one? Any help would be appreciated

Looking like a heart attack possibility according to Jon Pierek in the Age (first I've heard about a "jammed" knee for Max King)

Elimination final​

St Kilda v Greater Western Sydney. MCG, 3.20pm, Saturday, September 9

Season results: R10: St Kilda 13.14 (92) d Greater Western Sydney 12. 8 (80) at Giants Stadium.

Injuries

St Kilda: Max King (jammed knee) was managed in round 24, but will return next week. Seb Ross (low-grade hamstring), Zak Jones (knee) and Dougal Howard (broken wrist) will need to prove their fitness. Hunter Clark (corked leg) is expected to be fit. Josh Battle has joined Anthony Caminiti in concussion protocols.

GWS: Sam Taylor (hamstring) was a late withdrawal on Sunday. Finn Callaghan (achilles) also faces a fitness test.

The verdict: The Saints have been in the top six for all but one game this season, and head into September having won four of their past six games.

Under Ross Lyon, they have greater resolve defensively, while Jack Sinclair and Brad Crouch have been magnificent. But do the Saints have enough midfield quality for a deep September run?

The athletic King is the man who can drag this side to at least one win.

“I think we go in good order to whoever we play, wherever we play and we’re really looking forward to it. The real season is starting, this is just qualifying,” Lyon said.

Sinclair had 37 touches and King booted four goals when these teams last met.

For the Giants, Adam Kingsley should be commended for inspiring a side many thought was headed to the bottom rungs of the ladder.
In Toby Greene, the Giants have a man built for September.

A strong defence led by Taylor, and a midfield boasting a reborn Stephen Coniglio and Tom Green, have the Giants well positioned.

Can Jesse Hogan deliver a bag of goals?


Early tip: St Kilda by one point.

Ross Lyon mentioned the knee in his press conference

Well, Qantas apparently just launched wifi on their international flights.

If I can get a 360p stream going I should be able to watch. Kayo definitely won't work.

Yeah, the WatchAFL weekly pass might be the go for that match, then VPN to Kayo after that I guess.
Or you could just fork out for the finals series pass - at least you know it'll work.

Only problem I have with WatchAFL is that when using the smartphone it often jumps to the live stream, even if I want to watch the whole thing on delay and not see the score. So I have to kind of half close my eyes and wind it back before I hear/see anything.

That doesn't happen on the PC, only the phone.
Finals pass is bloody expensive too. Could pay about double the amount and get a second Saints International membership to boost our numbers. That includes the whole season.

Might be some expat Hong Kong people on here somewhere you could watch with.

Hopefully we get over 50k there so it’s worth having at the G.
Hayes is a better competitor and built for finals for mine, plus he is a genuine second ruck. Sharman is more flakey, and less competitive, even though is probably a bit more adaptable. I’d play big hayes.

"Big" Hayes is probably a stretch, but is certainly heavier and probably stronger. Quite different players. Sharman probably has the bigger leap. Hayes is more suited to contests. Both good kicks, but Sharman has the edge kickwise.

While Hayes can chop out in the ruck better than Sharman, he is not really a "genuine" second ruck either.

GWS are a very fit, and hard running, team. So a factor is going to be how fit Hayes is, plus how much run Lyon wants against GWS.

With King back, Membrey will probably play similar to what we saw against the Blues. This then means that Hayes/Sharman will running a lot, and further from goals.

What role does Lyon want for Hayes/Sharman for our 22? Or does he even revert back to Caminiti?

With Owens and the Poo also running through our forward line at present we have a lot of "third tall" types.

So given that, who knows both Hayes and Sharman may be out if their want extra run against GWS. You would think not.

Cheers mate. I'll be in the air during the game so will need to just try find a way on the flight to tune in.

If we win and play the semi on the Friday night I'll be in a hotel in Hong Kong so will be fine to use Kayo and VPN. If we play on the Saturday, I'll be at the airport in Manila. Could try get on the Kayo and VPN set up there too I guess, just the internet won't be as reliable.

It's really just this elimination final that will be a nuisance to follow. I'm okay with listening on the radio though so I'm confident that should work

It's quite amazing that we now seem to have a plethora of decent options for the third tall forward position. In the post-Hamill era we couldn't find a third tall forward for the life of us. We cycled through Ryan Gamble, Charlie Gardiner, Beau Maister, Tom Lee, Tommy Walsh (and probably more who I've now forgotten) and they were all varying degrees of spud.
 
Anyone else not received their Members email from the club? We're cheersquad members and haven't received anything. :(

Cooper is now, 193cm-88kg, Hayes 194cm-94kg on Saints website profiles
Hayes pinched hit in his SA finals, was quite dominant both there & in the forward line. Kind of a ruck-rover, quick hands, good reading of the ball & where to put it to advantage.

This will be the first Saints final I have attended since the 2010 GF replay.

Legimately feels like a lifetime ago. Pre marriage, pre-kids. Was in the prime of my life.

Drowned my sorrows into all hours of the night at the Corner Hotel. Lionel Richie was the only highlight of the day.

Definitely not as emotionally invested as I was back then, I was depressed for days....

Already did. They say they sent it and the address seems to be correct. Definitely not received. Yes, checked the spam folder. They say they will look into whether they can resend or re-create. I really need this to not be effed up.
