Game Day 2nd Elimination Final, 2023: St.Kilda v GWS *WEBSTER 150TH* *BATTLE 100TH*

[Curunir]

I wonder whether it was worth bringing in Stocker or Byrnes instead of Caminiti and adding a bit of extra run.

It probably leaves King with too much to do though.

 

[Jezzarayman]

All the best to Membrey but I actually prefer the hammer

 

[Remboy]

Bad news about Members but can’t wait to see a forward line King, Owens, Caminiti and Phillipou strut their stuff. Just happens to be the same set up as the last time we played them.

“Legless in Manila” starring George

Hopefully find a ladyboy named Sunny later tonight

 

[Feerits Elf]

Dunno, if it's a serious physical matter I can see how they'd want to hide it.

Serious physical matters aren't referred to as "personal", nor does one receive "appropriate care and treatment" for them.

Best wishes to Timmy, hope to see him back soon.

 

[Sainttony]

Any rumours as what has happened to Tim, sounds serious. Let’s all hope everything is ok.

Unleash the hammer.

Wow imagine waking up today (edit: or yesterday), not being in the team of 26 for the firsts, and thinking that you’ll be playing a scratch match against the pies VFL side.

And then next minute, in your first AFL season with no preseason, barely just scraped onto a list from nowhere, you get the call up and AFL approval under exceptional circumstances to line up in the best 22 for a 70,000 plus AFL elimination final and at the ****ing MCG.

That’s magical, for Anthony ‘The Hammer’ Caminiti at 19 years old.

All the best to Membrey and hoping he’s ok, but I’m stoked to see Hammer in, he will get the fans up and about, he can match it in the air and he’s crafty up the ground too. Expecting 150th anniversary game vibes from him today, kicking the ball into the GWS cheersquad.

 

[triggering bro]

Howard must be filthy, probs thought he was a sure thing with Membrey out.

I get the feeling our young guys are going to thrive on the big game atmosphere. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them stars today.

 

[Cairnsman]

Hope Tim is OK.

 

[Remboy]

Howard must be filthy, probs thought he was a sure thing with Membrey out.

That would have involved moving Cordy forward and it sounds like they are happy with the current structure.

 

[saintvic]

I would have been tempted to bring Howard in and move Cordy forward

I don’t know what it is.

I’m not going to ask.

All I’ve been told in the last 30 minutes is that the club was aware yesterday.

So Caminiti didn’t wake up in his PJs and then get told he was playing a final.

 

[puppy_dog7]

Let’s hope Tim gets the help he needs and we all wrap our arms around and support him. Great fella, and all the boys love him.

 

[stavro#4]

Anyway…. Can people start posting highlights of this year or something. Let’s go into this game enthusiastic about what we have seen. What got us off our feet.

**** going into a final flat and speculating about something we don’t know about.

 

[triggering bro]

The 'Rocket' he needed: How Eade inspired Saint's rise
Cairnsman for you mate.

 

[beside the seaside]

All the best Tim. We love you.

Hammer, make us proud son.

 

[HillToKing]

Sad news about Tim hopefully everything is alright.

I'm feeling quietly optimistic about this one. There's no way GWS should be clear favourites here.

 

[beside the seaside]

I was excited to see what Hammer could do in a final. He can be electric and hard to stop. The key is not allowing his opponent to take too many intercept marks. They'll play Taylor on him I have no doubt.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Good idea.
I’ve put my lucky potato on the table with me to watch the game.

Good read.

Now if you’ll pardon me I’m heading down to the brewery to fill up my growlers.

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Very odd and concerning news on Membrey. If it was an injury the club would not be so vague and cryptic. His entire 2023 has been very strange. His injury return timelines have jumped all over the place and there was a period when it seemed like Lyon was complaining about how accommodating the club had been while he deemed himself unfit to play.

Personal health matter sounds like a serious medical/mental health issue. Hope he's okay.

 

[gringo2011]

Feeling edgy. Anyone got parking recommendations? Heading up from Mt Martha and haven't booked anywhere yet ️️

Parking at the top end of Bourke Street near parliament. Sort of opposite Pelligrini's is cheap on weekends.

Bad news about Members but can’t wait to see a forward line King, Owens, Caminiti and Phillipou strut their stuff. Just happens to be the same set up as the last time we played them.

From a team perspective my initial thoughts were that the late change might prove unsettling but it's interesting that it's the same forward set up as when we beat them last time
