Who to replace him? Curren or Markworth?

Noone don't think. Squad will just be 33. If what I was told is correct then you can only use max 30 players anyway! (22 and then 8 changes)

“@AFL_PKeane: Leigh Montagna has withdrawn from the St Kilda squad for tomorrow night's round one NAB Cup matches and been replaced by Tom Curren.”

ALL ABOARD the CURREN TRAIN -- CHOO CHOO!!!!!!

 

[Persevering Saint]

Personally, I'm looking forward to getting happy about Saad, and watching Seb blast out of the blocks.

 

[goodie23]

I'm liking some of the wraps (raps?) I'm hearing about young Newnes

 

[Squizz]

Some good training footage in the Watters interview on Saints TV.

One thing that did stand out was Wilkes' ability to drop weight over the pre-season.

In the second interview (going through the team), he mentioned goodie's man Newnes as having stepped up over the pre-season and hinted that Milera would have his work cut out with the extra pace of AFL.

I wouldn't go that far yet, I haven't seen him properly. Markworth's still got my backing out of the draftees

If anyone happens to find a stream for tomorrow be sure to pm me

 

[stkildathunda]

Here's Tommy

"I just want to get down there and see what happens. I'm playing for the Swans now and I'm sure they (St Kilda) won't treat me any differently either.

"I'm sure it'll be fun to come up against some of the guys that I played with for those two years and I'm looking forward to it."

Does anyone have an approximate time frame these first-round NAB cub games go for? I don't live in Melbourne and I'm trying to find out if I'll be able to go, but it depends on what time I can be home.

Cheers.

 

[St DAC]

Our game against Sydney is at 6.40PM. Our game against Geelong is 8.50PM (all local times).

Sydney play Geelong at 7.45PM.

 

[Hubnester]

Ah thanks a lot. Should be able to make it then, I suppose. Wish we played the first 2 so I could sneak out early haha.

So what channel is the footy on? We have foxtel! But not sure if it'll be telecasted lol

Fox Footy
I don't have foxtel

 

[StFly]

Nor do I, waiting for them to pull their finger out and deliver packages individually instead of bundled contractual bullshit.

 

[Plugger35]

Don't have Foxtel either, if anyone knows of a stream I'd appreciate a pm.

 

[saintsrfreak]

What time's the first game again?

Coverage starts at 6:30, so 6:45 maybe?
