Preview Round 4, 2023: St.Kilda v Gold Coast - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 8th April, 7:30PM AEST

[Klaatu]

Massive test for our midfield this week - Witts , Miller , Anderson , Rowell are no push overs - Hopefully Marshall has a massive game.

No bigger test then Freo's or WB midfield which are both rated higher then GC midfield .

 

[Klaatu]

Grabbed his hamstring late in the last quarter. Stayed on but looked pulled up more than once with it .

It might of been a little cramp & conditioning was not named on our injury list.

I rate GCs mids better than Freo's but hardly ever get them all on the park at once. Anderson would be a star in Melbourne, Rowell is playing like he did in his first year again, Touk Miller is their Jack Steele, top 10 in the Brownlow consistent type. They still have Swallow and about 4 decent depth mids on top of that. Witts is one of the best rucks in the league, they probably missed him more than King. They picked up have Hollands too.

It will be a challenge but playing in Melbourne is a huge advantage for us.

Dew is their ratts. Nice guy and built a team. They need to hand off to a more strategic coach now before their stars are past their prime or their kids leabe

I think Dew was meant to be their A. Clarkson.

Bytel in to take Rowell

Heath in for Cordy

Wood recovers miraculously from shoulder injury

#George , how much do I need to pay you to give the next person who mentions Highmore as a possible replacement for Wood a week ban

A couple of pies will do it

Let's get back to discussing the game though mate. It's going to be a ripper I reckon, Gold Coast always give us problems but I think we just get past them.

In: Highmore
Out: Wood

In both we had Steele

Bytel is in his career best form , can cover for Steele

Is why article states emulating Cats and Pies, as they did win it.

Anywho, better midfield wins it.

Confident. Haven’t been confident the last 3 weeks.

Dangerous

Massive let down game. I'm cautious.

Last week was being cautious.

This week is when we fire on all cylinders.

Saints to cement their spot at the top of the ladder.

Part of me wants to get cocky and start believing that we are a walk up winner for every match but we've been kicked back down to earth so many times in the last 5 years that it makes you cautious. I'm very optimistic but not confident.

Bing to have a chat with Windy about a movement south, post game.

Have faith in Ross the Boss. The days of the Richo & Ratts disappointment games are over!
4-0 but still keeping a lid on it

Agree, the boys are up and about and feeling extremely confident.

All indicators are we are going to keep on playing well. There are no dropoff areas at the moment and the backup brigade in Sandringham are playing well.

Just because we won three in a row, doesn't mean we are due to lose one... that's not how statistics work. This week is a new game, the odds don't change just because we won a few in a row.

Pffft
6 goals

Hear he’s getting a bit pissed off on by the coache’s inability to find the dunny

 

[Dard Ball Get]

We will win this one and then the dam wall will break against the Pies.

And that’s ok

I think by that time Pou might be looking for a rest and when Membrey returns they might rest Hammer also.

Wash your mouth out the Pou doesn’t rest. He doesn’t even need to sleep.

Maybe the old saints under the old regime…

There are some people who actually believe that the Pou's poo is actually pure white and has no smell whatsoever and I for one, can believe it
