Preview Round 23, 2023: St.Kilda v Geelong - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 19th August, 7:25PM AEST *HIGGINS 100TH*

Hawkins in. We’re ****ed

 

[gringo2011]

Nasiah, Windy, Owens, Phillipou, King = IDGAF if it’s nuffie but imo they have very very high ceilings.

Loads of athleticism, height, evasiveness, power and ball skills between them. And got a few like Hotton and Keeler who are high ceiling prospects too.

I’d want another 2 first round draftees with this group come this off-season, fingers crossed.

We want to keep targeting kids for sure. It looks like a great couple of years under Toce. Some really promising players. They all look multidimensional with plenty of scoring power. Funny enough Geelong seem to have had that vision in their build too. Guys who score readily are always looked at favourably. Lyon rates Geelong's side. Perhaps that's his model. I'd like to chase high end and X factor in the draft and pick some blue collar mids cheap outside of the draft.

Massively

 

[Diehard Saint]

Have to say that the use of “strong in the contest” was elite.

The only bit of the otherwise excellent report that gave me a bit of PTSD actually.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

No changes. I thought Members may have been in danger.

 

[Cairnsman]

Hunter gonski

 

[Joffaboy]

Pick 3, 7 and 8 as emergencies

Underdone.
Cordy was very good last week. Let’s see if he can back it up with a little help from Enright.

 

[Mavefromdelburn]

They ruck with Shannon Neale...gotta try exploit that.
Hopefully Danger doesn't play like he did last week otherwise he'll have 20 clearances on us.
Keeping Cameron quiet is nearly impossible, Wilkie has his work cut out for him, and Zlugger Cordy will be on Hawkins I'd imagine, so that could be... fun...?Stanley and Rohan are pretty decent outs for them, and think we match up okay overall.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Sharmys quietly building I reckon just quietly.

Great news for Coff at least.

 

[Plugger35]

Not good news for us with Hawkins back but no Stanley should allow Marshall to dominate against a rookie ruckman in Neale and Rohan out helps us too

 

[Sheepey]

Nick Froffield in the EMG is a good sign for his progress, I still rate him and hope he gets into the side.

Ross is giving him a couple of farewell games.

A part of me would love him to be the sub and play a quarter but he might be better off playing a full game in the VFL (unless they’ve got their twelfth bye for the season).

 

[Bertha]

I'm looking forward to this week's game, should be a cracker. Stanley and Rohan out is bigger than Hawkins back in - the bloke is 35 and hopefully there's a worrying nip in the air

 

[austinnn]

Carlton won a final in 2000, 2001, 2011 and 2013.

Lies!! They have never won any finals ever lalalalal can't hear you

 

[Saintbloke]

Ross is giving him a couple of farewell games.

Maybe the same for the captain..if you know what I mean...

 

[BrutThough]

Rushing him back from a hammy because they are worried.

 

[Klaatu]

Interesting they have picked Toby Conway as an emg as he’s is a 206cm ruckman, calling it now Hawkins out Neale to fwd Conway comes in as ruck.

will do a late change the ****ing smug prick

 

[BrutThough]

I wouldn't mind seeing Byrnes being the sub this week.

Bring him on in the last to get some genuine leg speed against the slower Geelong mids.

Tremendous call

 

[puntking]

Find it strange that a 35 year old is good to go and missing two games with hammy, either he will be late out or underdone imo

 

[AirWinmar]

Cordy is sure no booming kick but one thing he does do well is hit targets over 40 metres or less.

(Hope that wasn’t a kiss of death for Saturday!).

Yeah he's actually a surprisingly good kick. His action doesn't look smooth, but he hits his kicks consistently
