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

[ferball]

StKilda is full of junkies and rich w***ers imo.

Oh and backpackers.

Yeah man I'm livin' in the past...

 

[The Warlord]

Yeah man I'm livin' in the past...

Its a foreign country, they do things differently there.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I wonder if they’ll switch Powell & Phillips again or play them both. Some think it’s one or the other long term.

Room for both now and long term
The one that misses out imo is laz who i could see as sub/depth

Stopped hanging out there after they ****ed up The Dalton and Pure Pop Records shut due to noise complaints from new cashed up residential neighbours. Over run now by bayside bogans from Sandy and Beaumauris and short term stayers in GAA and premier league tops. Pity. It used to be a cool place to spend a night out.

Friggin' TV reno show taking over The Gatwick marked the end of Old Cool St Kilda.

I wasn't against The Gatwick ending btw - it was a shitful rat hole run by scum slumlord sisters.

But The Block doing it was an absolute sign o'the times.

100%

Things were slowly changing by that point but that move kicked off a real clear out of the old school sites around the joint. It was dirty, dingy etc but I never once felt unsafe there. It was a place where you could just hang out without a swirl of w***ers with their shit venues and music ****ing it all up.

Was on Smith Street for the first time in yonks last week.

I remember when it was an open air smack market, now had a pretty goof vibe, lot of the gay clubs really kicking off.

 

[Passmore]

I was there too! I have photos from the day. I was so pumped for the season and it all came crashing down

Duck did as he pleased that day. Unfortunately he also did as he pleased later on.

 

[The Warlord]

Honestly reckon he would have kicked a ton in 2002 playing as a stay at home FF.

We had McCartney doing the grunt work at CHF. Big Sav alongside Duck deep. I thought it might have been an ageing team giving one last crack.

Everything gets gentrified in the end.

More politics hey...

What really happened to St Kilda’s old “Gatty” after the The Block did its makeover and big “reveal”

The ABC this week (12 October 2021) broadcast a doco on the Gatwick hotel. Here is Rachel Iampolski's own version of what happened at the Gatty after the Block did a makeover, published in early August.

[Engimal v3]

They really couldn't find someone harder for us to beat? I mean we just thumped last years premiers

 

[muttley45]

Any chance Sellers gets a crack ?

I hope you’re right as I don’t want to lose either Powell or Phillips

 

[The acurate one]

Chom/Dawson/Pink/Corr/Goater... I might have my head in the clouds, but I'm excited about this group. We might form a decent backline yet.

Charlie/Dawson/Pink and Bigoa are all capable of matching the output of Magoo I said excitedly to old mate, and he said, yeah that's not great.

oh well.

 

[The Nostradamus]

can apparently have up to 8 on the bench this week

B: McDonald Corr Nyuon
HB: Fisher Comben Sheezel
C: Stephens Phillips Tucker
HF: sleevo CCJ Duursma
F: zurhaar larkey Curtis
R: xerri LDU Simpkin
I: wardlaw mckercher Powell Goater Scott Lazzaro Dawson Harvey

 

[StazMob]

Here's what I'm hoping to see VS the saints

B - Goater - Pink - Dawson
HB - McKercher - Comben - Sheezel
C - Stephens - LDU - Scott
HF - Simpkin - CCJ - Zurhaar
F - Curtis - Larkey - Stevenson
R - Xerri - Wardlaw - Powell
I - Fisher - Phillips - McDonald - Lazzaro
S - Tucker

E - Nyuon - Bergman - Harvey

• I think McDonald pushes Bergman out if fit at the moment.
• Dawson and Pink were the 2 I felt played best against the pies (Dawson v Pink v Biggie) and Comben gets a nod in front of Biggie as I reckon he would have been in had he been fit, plus would be ideal to see him for a comparison as I think he and Biggie currently fighting for that 3rd tall until Corr or Logue come back.

What they’ve done to the espy is criminal. At least it wasnt turned into appartments I spose.

Dawson is so much quicker to to respond or to act when he has the ball than McKay was.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Dawson is so much quicker to to respond or to act when he has the ball than McKay was.

There were two or three times last week he ran ball-in-hand, with agility and aggression, through a crowded Pies forward-line and delivered an accurate long kick to a teammate.

I can't remember too many times Magoo did anything with agility and aggression, ball-in-hand.

 

[The acurate one]

Hang on. yall can't jump off the Magoo bandwagon.

I've a memory like a steel elephant

 

[ferball]

Hang on. yall can't jump off the Magoo bandwagon.

I've a memory like a steel elephant

Dawson is bloody good tho.

 

[Frank Thring]

Expose them

Comben will be busy. CHB and emergency simultaneously.
