Preview Round 8 - Changes/Preview v St Kilda

[Topkent]

It’s because Geelong’s fixture is insanely soft from here. They only have 4 matches against the current top 8 for the rest of the season and two of those four are a double up against the Saints. They’re going to really have to whiff it to miss top 4.

This is such a nothing point. They play the dogs twice and port. Dogs will more than likely be in the 8 soon which makes it 6 more. Teams could be in a hotstreak playing them

Could also see Port finding some form. They had a bumpy start to the year but their list is still solid. They won't do any damage in September but they might still make a late run at finals.

Oh it’s not through intention. Just amazing that they’ve probably already played the most difficult part of their season. History says it’s 15 wins for top 4 contention; they’d need to drop 5 matches from here but with their fixture and the advantage of Pork Barrel Park they’ll get there comfortably you’d think.

Fun fact: after the Saints beat Richmond in that game in 2017 (margin was 70 points but honestly should have been 100+) we were ahead of both sides on the ladder in 5th or 6th IIRC. Was relatively late in the season too.

Round 16 is only 2/3 through the season. Not that late at all.

At least you didnt deny the fact was fun, or we would have had a problem

I'm glad you enjoyed it at least.

Thanks. I really did.

They won the flag. It literally can't have been crucial.

Haha so you just backed up my point

Okay crucial was a poor choice of a word, not as if they had to win that game to make the 4, however it wasn't as if the game didn't mean anything either at the time, a 67 point loss to St Kilda would have been extremely disappointing and caused Richmond to fall back into the pack with Port, Melbourne and St Kilda.

I've honestly lost the point of this mate. This ain't a crucial game for us against the saints

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

If I bet on Melbourne at the -20.5 line this week, you better believe its crucial.

Also, love the game, not the odds.

**** the game pay for my habits stkilda ya dog campaigners

fu** the game pay for my habits stkilda ya dog campaigners

Noooooooow I see why its not crucial for us to win

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Round 16 is only 2/3 through the season. Not that late at all.

More to the point that we completely imploded from that point, which is incredible relative to how late in the season it was. To be ahead of the eventual premiers with seven games to go and miss finals, truly a feat.

 

[Topkent]

After round 16 we were one win inside the 8. Not that crazy.

Hey Dees - I just filmed a preview of the game with a big Dees fan and AFL YouTuber Caden MacDonald, feel free to have a watch if you'd like.



Good luck on Sunday

Does anyone really care about this one? Way more important for the saints than us. Would be nice to stick a flag in the ground but really beating the saints in May means nothing to us. They need it to feel like they are true contenders. We don't.

I care about the 4 points.

We will have a down patch at some point (like we did late last year prior to the streak), just a matter of how big.

While we have momentum, wins are important.

You two look like you could be brothers.

Looking forward to Sunday.

Finalised tomorrow but:

Out: Melksham, Smith, Chandler (medi-sub)
In: Petty.

Then pick 4 from Weideman, Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow, Dunstan, Bedford, ANB, Laurie.

Would expect Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow and ANB. Good to see Laurie is close though

 

[Dancing Potato]

How often do they name a debutant on an extended bench but then they don't actually get picked? Is it reasonably common?

extremely common

 

[Dory_77]

Excited for Laurie, would be good to see him get a run, although if it's between leaving him out or being the sub I reckon it's better to just leave him out. Feels shit giving 'debuts' to subs.

 

[Toump Ass]

Yeah none of that “this game is not that important” shit from me, I ****ing love pumping the saints. My dad is a sainter and I want to watch dees slaughter them and laugh at him and his shit team the whole time. Love reminding him of the pick 1 wasted on someone who is not Petracca. Love pointing out this rebuild is a failure. Love laughing at overpaid Bradley Lazy campaigner Over The Hill while Ed Langdon

Saints fans are my least favourite supporter group by far. Bunch of freaks and ferals with the IQ of a cucumber

That's why their song only has three lines.
