Autopsy Round 23, 2023: St.Kilda v Geelong *HIGGINS 100TH*

[CursingFijian]

Was watching the game here in Ireland with my 7 year old. He turned around and asked me if there was an earthquake or huge storm happening at the ground.
I told him that it was the Saints crowd finding their voice...and then asked if he would like to go to a game the next time we're home.
"That would be the best thing in the world dad."

Won't lie, I felt a bit emotional.

great place Warrnambool
love heading down for the classic

My In-Laws are right into the speedway mate and it's great for the town. We go every year. Although in a corporate box with free grog and air cons

You can swing yours?!
Must be nice

Isn’t everyone blessed with that length?

If all the favourites win next week we will play the Dogs first week of finals

Now that doggies lost, are they out of playing finals?

Used to go every weekend towards the end of the Max Dumesny era. Ate more pies filled with surprise clay than I care to admit.

Moved towards Terang and spent a fair few arvos at Laang also.

Now that doggies last, are they put of playing finals?

No they can finish 8th if they beat the Cats and the Giants lose to the Blues.

Still reasonably likely. But the Dogs were pathetic today and haven't won in Geelong for a while.

Not quite. They beat cats and Gws lose, they are 8th

Next weeks game will be a good trial for the finals , just get the guys to gel knowing King , Membery and Sharman have not played to much together and if Crouch continues his hot form with help from Steele and others in the midfield we have a very potent forward line.
As Ross said it's won or lost in the midfield.

You get Steele , Hill , Membery , Gresham , Clark all hit form at the right time with Wood , Sinclair , Marshall , Sinclair , Crouch , Butler , Higgins , Owens , Windhager , Nas we will win more than one final.

Max could drive

I hope the Crow's goal fiasco doesn't cost us a home final, especially against Sydney. I know we beat them in Sydney but the Swans would be so undeserving of a home final after that stuff up.

 

[phantom13]

I'll be taking a month off work

It will be special

I shudder to think what I’ll do if we win one.

I’ll cry first, then I might disappear into the ether on some of Columbia’s finest for a week. Wife knows the deal, look after the kids and forget you know me for a week.

I’m still in disbelief about Saturday night.
Our play was, for the most part irresistible.
(Liiiiitle room for improvement in the goal kicking after a 10 -0 start last week.)

We've obviously bedded down our defence but when we get attack right in equal measure we just looked amazing.

The atmosphere was reminiscent of those (how many?) in a row Saturday night wins we had at Marvel in 2009.

On Saturday night we made it our fortress again - the loudest we have been in years, and the cheer squad was great. The Mason Wood

chant…what can you say.

And even this occasional pessimist never thought we were a chance to lose it - not once.

I‘m on such a high, no stimulants or other involved. TG we can now relax this week without having to worry.

Go the Mighties!

 

[Jay Beast]

Considering the injuries we started with, this season has been huge.
Just goes to show, things are never as bad or good as you think.

Monumental effort last night. Made them look second rate.

Butts had a stinker. Hope he can turn it on for finals, we are deadly when he's firing.

Won't lie, I felt a bit emotional.

Took my kiddos to their first couple of games this year, they loved sitting down near the cheer squad and getting into the chants. Definitely felt a bit emotional taking them.

Spinout.

 

[BigPowerForward]

I just watched the reply and have a few thoughts:
- Windhager's game was terrific. He was able to be an outlet out of our defence on numerous occasions. I really like this kid!
-Cordy was very good on Hawkins. He does the team things very well....blocks up space, shepherds, all the 1 percenters.
-20 marks inside F50 was a good return. If we clean up our ball use a bit more, we could potentially improve on this and start kicking some big scores
-Sharman will be on our list next year.

A lot to like about that performance. The future is looking a lot brighter!

You lost me with Sharman will be on the list - of course he will be!!

But then you won me back in spades paying out on Weightflog and Jobe. Bravo.

I like the sound of that. Swap Mitch's rucking time with roving time and he is probably even more damaging.

And they would be bringing in a bonafide 2nd ruck

Bulldogs autopsy as viscious as any on here during the cho era.
Suffice to say they want Bevo gawn.

Dude might have to go into witness protection. A safe house in an undisclosed location.


I'm thinking somewhere you'd never see a dogs supporter...

I know...

A place of employment

Wow Speedway was part of my growing up in Gippsland.

Morwell Airport speedway. Moe Speedway. Wattle Park Speedway near Warragal. All gone now.
Rosedale speedway is still going i think.

A good whiff of Castrol R ( with Castor oil ) , and i'd be right back there.

Haha, they only let us in the comp because we had Junction Oval.

When my son was little , i used to bring lollies, and every time the Saints kicked a goal he got some.
That really got him involved and barracking.
I think i nearly gave him diabetes in 2009.
