Preview Round 5, 2022: St.Kilda v Gold Coast - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 16th April, 1:45PM AEST

I certainly don't forget. I think it's what makes it hard to get too excited about any of our sides. We know how good we were, and we still couldn't get the job done.

That is the tragedy.

 

[gringo2011]

So its going to be.. Witts taps the ball to Witts who clears it to Witts at half forward who passes to Witts at FF, but the ball hit the deck and Witts mops up and kicks a goal. Nah.

If they win it's because their midfield beats ours. Without Paddy we have one arm tied behind our back while Witts gives them a huge advantage. Steele and Miller are about break even, Rowell, Anderson and Weller against Ross, Gresham and maybe Sincs. It's pretty even if they play to maximum capacity.

 

[Mowman]

Higgins and Hayes in

NWM & Windhager stay in, I like this if we can get 15 games into these 2 what a bonus

They have no King or Lukosius we should win if not we aren't where we need to be yet

 

[PoppedCorn]

God is back in!

 

[Minga]

Our 22 looks really strong. Like the heck.

Ryder, Jones, Clark, Billings, Coffield, Webster out and our 22 still looks great.

That makes me a happy Sainter - thank god Jweb can be covered by Paton

 

[stfan]

Yep.

to Witts who clears it to Witts at half forward who passes to Witts at FF, but the ball hit the deck and Witts mops up and kicks a goal. Nah.

Nope! Witts is a good tap ruckman but he is no Nic Nat.

Wait.. What?

When did we get a good list?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Will be interesting to see who we send back. With Windhager staying in and Higgo returning, it clearly suggests that Hill is moving either back to the wing (with D-Mac pushing back to defence), or to the backline himself.

Pity we weren’t able to keep him there after he was such a weapon there last week.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Sensible changes.

Only real issue is Byrnes as the sub tbh.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Lade said hill is still playing fwd

 

[aussierulesrules]

Lade said hill is still playing fwd

So all of Max, Hayes, Membrey, Higgins, Hill, Butler, Long, Windhager and Gresh playing forward? Or are either Long or Windhager moving out of there?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Something about us on channel 7 in a minute. “Forgotten star on the comeback trail”.

I think that they will keep rotating the Sub.

Connolly or Highmore will most likely be the Sub tis week.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Not sure mate
Just what was said earlier in the thread


Gotta say that stat earlier of sincs not getting a run thru the middle last week is mindblowing (props to the poster)

He was everywhere

 

[aussierulesrules]

I think that they will keep rotating the Sub.

Connolly or Highmore will most likely be the Sub tis week.

Especially since we’re already down Webster and haven’t replaced him with a like-for-like.

 

[Mowman]

Jones playing VFL this weekend

 

[sammm]

if byrnes was the sub last week, he won't be the sub this week. it would mean 2 weeks without a game. it probably will be one of the other emergencies.

said below Zac in VFL. thats great.

all those conspiracy theorists that said it was drugs ban. humph!!!

Gresh spent alot of time forward last week. Probably plays mostly midfeild with Higgins back.

 

[gringo2011]

I agree but we need to not take it lightly. They are abetter side than last year.

 

[Mowman]

we are StKilda we should take no side lightly

 

[aussierulesrules]

Gresh spent alot of time forward last week. Probably plays mostly midfeild with Higgins back.

Still attended 22 centre bounces so I’d say a lot of that time he was forward was when he started in the middle and Crouch started forward and they swapped after the centre bounce, so that probably won’t change too much.

One of Hill, Long, or Windy will have to vacate to fit Higgo back in and for us to replace Jimmy down back.

 

[Ricochet]

Good luck to Fresh in his 100th,let's smash em

Every king needs a fresh Prince.
Every Borat needs his azamat

Gold Coast...even when crap...are a good side for the first third of the season, they fall away after that spectacularly. That beside the point, they always come out to play against us. They're in their hot zone at the moment, and they match up well on us.
Last week our mob showed they can back up a good performance with an even better showing. This week they need to show that none of it is getting to their heads.
I'll take a win...any win will do.
