Having said that, Saints should feel aggrieved that the game is at the MCG. I think it helps us.
Surely crowd will be 40k max?
St Kilda and GWS last met in round 10 at Giants Stadium. Saints won by 12 points.
Giants are in really good form, since the halfway point of the season they have only lost to Port and Sydney.
It's only GWS's 2nd game at the MCG in 2023, and they haven't won there since 2021. Their last game at the G was a 10 goal loss to the Pies in rd 9.
Since the 2019 Grand Final GWS have played at the MCG 7 times for 2 wins and 5 losses. They lost all 3 of their matches there in 2022.
Since losing to Gold Coast in rd 18 the Saints have been mostly steady if not somewhat unremarkable, with losses only to Carlton and Brisbane at the Gabba, which they pushed till the 4th quarter with a home final up for grabs for both sides.
This will be the Saints 3rd game at the G in 2023, they split the other 2 beating Essendon and losing to Richmond.
Tough one to tip. Going for the Saints by 8 in a close one.

You're the only person I've ever heard refer to the MCG as a shit hole. Especially in comparison to Marvel.

I think playing it at Marvel would have better suited the Giants. They are the best 2 way running side in the comp and have speed. The fast deck would have benefited them. We saw how it played out on Sunday.
Whereas at the G and exposed to the elements, particularly if it rains, reduces the Giants advantage.
I would say we are the best overall running team. Not sure about the fastest though
We have covered more Kms and done more sprints and repeat sprints than any team this year.
The 310 km we did in round 3 vs. Essendon was the second-highest total distance covered of all time.
A wet deck would probably disadvantage both teams but giving us space to run I think is a positive.
I really hope they get 70k, but just can't see it happening.Interview with AFL replacement for Gil this morning responded to the question with why the Saints v Giants game was scheduled at the G.. Response, we're expecting 70,000+

Should be at Marvel, although I think Marvel would suit GWS more than the MCG ironically.
Saints should be quietly happy it's at the MCG outside of low crowd reasons, where the bigger ground will suit their kicking style.
I'd tip the Saints by 15 in a good match.

Don't interact, know Saints hater. Logic doesn't matter as long as he tries to rubbish the Saints.

You sure you're in the right place? Your logic is a refreshing change to oppo supporters spouting delirious opinions and then when questioned go with the old chestnut of 1 premiership in 150 years.
I'm actually flabbergasted.

Will be tough and low scoring. Saints the best defensive side which will stand up in finals. With good conditions for footy hopefully it’s a cracking contest… all the best!
Good to hear I’m making it in life
