Unofficial Preview Praccy Match 2 Vs Saints - This time it’s serious

[Samsquanch]

'Arse Park" as we locals call it is a shithole, but not in the same light as Casey or AIA.

RSEA = ARSE

Goes without saying.

 

[ExorcismOfArdenStreet]

Obviously the overheads warrant the justifiable mark-up.

The overheads of paying off St. Kilda's debt isn't justifiable for this old campaigner

 

[Chadwiko]

Moorabbin is St Kilda’s home.

Yes but Moorabbin is not St Kilda. It's like 5 suburbs away.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Keen to see Comben, Tucker, Corr, Duursma and Lmac play

All in my round 1 team but missed with soreness or reconditioning last week

 

[speedy]

I’m not sure how northball will go, but I want to see our midfield dominate the clearance battle.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Moorabbin is St Kilda’s home.

It would be like saying Victoria Park isn’t technically Collingwoods home because it’s actually in Abbotsford.

Similar to Princess Park, it sits on the border of Carlton North and Parkville.

Lol it always confused me that Collingwood station and town hall etc is in Abbotsford.

 

[Hojuman]

RSEA = ARSE

Goes without saying.

Is Dingley next to Deepdene ?

 

[ferball]

Yep, stubbed his toe. Not yet.

So out for the season?

 

[King Corey]

Yep, stubbed his toe. Not yet.

The acurate one

 

[shintemaster]

It sounds silly after a practice match vs the Premiers to say that this will give us a good indication of where we are at - but I think it will. Pies would have been at a completely different level of plan to us - we won't know for 6 months whether they've somehow fallen off the cliff or just building.

Saints are hungry, took Essendon apart and will have had a look now at how we rolled out and played. Should be interesting either way.

 

[Mr north man]

Yes in massive debt but are loved by the AFL .
This is a club that has no success but manage to be protected by the AFL and media and walk around with big heads thinking they have won 16 premierships .

 

[Mr north man]

Obviously the overheads warrant the justifiable mark-up.

Also I heard a rumour all card set up no cash might have to head to sandbelt before the game and have a few

 

[ferball]

Yes but Moorabbin is not St Kilda. It's like 5 suburbs away.

St Kilda the team suck. St Kilda the place is great and used to have the best pubs, bands and cake shops. So its appropriate that they play miles away. They'd bring the place down otherwise.

 

[Samsquanch]

Lol it always confused me that Collingwood station and town hall etc is in Abbotsford.

I might suggest you don't want to mention North Melbourne station.

 

[ferball]

So Sunday week we play the saints, who I assume will be fielding their strongest possible lineup, in a test that promises to be harder than the VFL pies.

Hopefully we see Scott, Corr and McDonald back at a minimum. Maybe Comben as well.

NorthBall will be put to the test against a team that is very good at pressure. If its successful against them we are in for a better than expected year but I do fear we will struggle with turnovers.

It will also be good to see Dawson and Pink up against King, Membrey and Owens. Not sure who gets first crack at King but it should be revealing nonetheless.

LDU was a one man army destroying the saints out of the middle last time. And the drug cheats seemed to be well on top I’m that area today, so that one area we might do ok in.

Gonna be interesting.

What I wanted to see in that first game is what I want to see in this one.

The system holds up at times, the midfield is strong and our defense holds up.

Never been to this shithole.

Whats the plan please?
Do I need to go early? Parking, food, best viewing area, etc

Just coming to ask the same re ticketing at least... just front up?

I do know it's a prick to park at but Moorabbin Station is about ten minutes or so away.

 

[Chadwiko]

St Kilda the place is great.

 

[Del191229]

Last time I was at a pre-season game at Moorabin Carey kicked a bag playing full forward then the players had a BBQ at Arch's joint.

Used to being the operative phrase.

Have you ever Warwick Thornton's autobiographical flick The Beach and the story he tells about the first time he went to the Espy?

Surrounding streets should be fine if you're happy to walk up to five minutes

Lived in a little 1 bedder on robe st, just next to the corner of Acland. (old ex French consulate converted to a bunch of little designer apartments).

Was there as a bachelor for 3 years of my early 30's - that little area was by far the most diverse, interesting, enjoyable place I've ever lived in.

Get they around 12pm or if you go to Sandbelt pub to have a few pints get there at 12:30pm as car parking will be a bitch

And don’t mention the toilet

 

[Mr north man]

The system holds up at times, the midfield is strong and our defense holds up.

Well if McDonald plays the system won’t hold up as st.kilda will target him as they know he is a weak link in our side
