How scared are you of St Kilda this year?

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Its quite compelling how many opposition supporters are taking an interest in this thread

Everyone slows down to rubberneck a car crash.

Ross is a round 1 specialist. He has his teams fit and peaking very early so yes I’m a bit scared of losing round 1.
Don’t want to be losing the opening home game.

We have not won at your home ground since Jesus was a baby.

But still yeah I'm hopeful

At first I laughed at the title of this thread but then I had a think..
Stkildas fwd line of
Butler king higgins
Phillipou Caminiti Owens
If that center half forward line all progress even just a little bit that’s an extremely dangerous forward line
Don’t know too much about your backline but I think it was the least scored against in the 2023 home and away season, need Sinclair to hold his AA form
Wings are covered with hill wood and now Liam Henry
Always found the midfield quite boring like they’re 1 X factor match winner in the guts away from being a top 4 side
Second year under Ross Lyon almost the whole team is complete
I think there’s a massive possibility that if the players who had a good year in 23 hold their form and the young kids coming up have some progression the saints could definitely become a scary side to play against this year and have a lot of people eating their words on here including myself.

Q: How scared are you of St Kilda this year?

A: No

Got it

I rate your list ,a lot of talent on every line , a lot has to come together, player development, discipline , club hierarchy of control , and it is on this front that you fail. Ross the “ Boss” has already had the CEO sacked , and it is this unhealthy modus operandi that will hold you back , the tail should never wag the dog. So scared ，NO.

Membrey will be added to that forward line and Caminiti will probably be competing with Cooper Sharman who despite not being scary manages to kick goals.
Midfield again is the weak point but expect to see more of Sinclair in there and if fit then Jones and Dow will get a run too. Jack Steele had an unfortunate last season from injury and too much weight loss but he'll bounce back. Still no superstars, but adding the extra pace around stoppages will help us a fair bit.

Yes and its Essendon.

One may argue that to be linguistically imperfect, but it about sums things up.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Shitting my pants with Lockett, Loewe, Winmar, Harvey, Everitt and co lining up against us.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Micky Dwyer might make a cameo and kick 6 of the half forward flank.


Someone call 9-1-1-1-1-1

Are you still pissed from yesterday? Not angry, just impressed.

Nah that level can esculate pretty fast but I'm all smiles today. Especially when I read your posts.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

If I was rich enough I'd send you 500 dollars from the make-a-wish-foundation just for the lol's.

How scared am I of St Kilda this year?

I’ll tell you after R1.

 

[worbod]

If we are referring to the suburb, then yes I am scared of St. Kilda. Some of those ladies on street corners are quite confronting, and very suggestive.

 

[Gavin Excell]

St Kilda has to.step.up.and win rather than finding excuses
R1 v Geelong are regenerating and vulnerable
If they have any pretensions to success should be winning

 

[UcantCme]

the Saints will slide, midfield not good enough IMO

When have we had any pretensions to success ?!.

We won't slide.

But the midfield is a huge area of concern. We need guys to step up, if they do it could make a big difference to our year.

Forwards and backline are very sold now.

We’ve already won. Geelong fans doubting themselves at home? You love to see it. Once we nullify Max Holmes run I’m not sure there will be much left to overcome.

Let's analyse their wins last year

Freo (Docklands) - Round 1
Bulldogs (Docklands) - Round 2
Essendon (MCG) - Round 3
Gold Coast (Docklands) - Round 4
Carlton (Docklands) - Round 6
North Melbourne (Docklands) - Round 8
GWS (Showgrounds) - Round 10
Sydney (SCG) - Round 13
West Coast (Perth Stadium) - Round 16
North Melbourne (Docklands) - Round 19
Hawthorn (Docklands) - Round 20
Richmond (Docklands) - Round 22
Geelong (Docklands) - Round 23

9/13 wins at Docklands

8/13 wins against sides that finished 12th or lower

0 wins against top 4 opposition

3 wins against top 8 sides:

Carlton in round 6 who at the mid point of the season were 15th
GWS in round 10 who at the mid point of the season were 14th
Sydney in round 13 who at the mid point of the season were 13th

Then they got Geelong and Richmond at the end of the year when the cue was in the rack

In summary they picked the low hanging fruit and got teams at the absolute best spot all year




RUN. They are coming right for us.

Don't like this plan to use Owens in the Ruck.

You don't use a Ferrari to shovel shit.
