Round 2: St Kilda vs GWS @ Docklands

[Kram]

Hopefully should be close game, have to lean towards St Kilda winning at home though.

BOG Jon "the general" Patton

Actually looking forward to this one!

Think the Giants will get up.

[Kakkle]

Cameron & Patton to kick 10 between them.

 

[ep2018]

One of these teams will be 2-0

Unreal

 

[HBF]

Saints for mine.
Getting Montagna and Hayes back helps immensely.
They'll have their work cut out covering Cameron & Patton, but i'm not sure GWS really have anyone capable of going with Riewoldt.
And winning down in Melbourne might just prove a step too far for the young Giants at this stage

Saints by 15 points

 

[Adz]

Giants easily.

 

[coniglio_number1]

Lenny and montag didn't help them in wagga and I trust frost to make roo work his ass off for his possessionspossessions

 

[Klaus]

It's actually a good test for GWS. They were impressive against Sydney and will draw a lot of confidence; however, people forget that they've only won 4/45 games in their existence.

I think St.Kilda will prevail at home by 15 points, Riewoldt will provide a handful and bag 5.

And both teams could up 2-20. Unreal.

I don't think I've ever seen GWS play 2 good games back to back.

Saints will win this, good start to the season being 2-0.

Sneaky chance for finals??

I'd never seen GWS beat Sydney, either.

For GWS to win, they need to win the ball in the midfield and get clean fast ball to Patton and Cameron.

For St Kilda to win, they need Reiwoldt to dominate, and to stop GWS getting a run on at any time.

It should be a good game.

Lenny Hayes & Montagna big ins! Saints by a few!

 

[kreglze]

Tipped the Saints, Hayes and Montagna will batter the younger GWS midfielders. Who is going to go with Riewoldt, could be in for a bag.

Sneaky chance for finals??

Very funny

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I've tipped the Giants with no confidence. Will be a good battle up forward, without Davis I'm not sure if the Giants have anyone to go with Riewoldt but at the other end you have the twin towers who will stretch the Saints vulnerable defence. Game will be won in the middle I think.

 

[JeffDunne]

I'll be honest, I have no idea what to expect.

 

[Crawb]

Would have said GWS by 40 points a couple weeks ago. Although St. Kilda don't seem as woeful as I was expecting this year. Giants in a close one

 

[RBW_007]

Yes they beat us in the preseason but preseason games don't always transfer to the real stuff. Also no 9 pointers and Shiels nailing them from 55 this time I think it could be a bit of a shoot out. No Davis who usually runs with Roo and Cameron and Patton will stretch our defense. Hopefully home ground advantage will favour us. Will be an interesting contest.

IIRC, they also beat the Saints last year in the pre-season then when they met in round 3, the Saints won by about 12 goals.

 

[SilenceOz]

GWS by 45

Relatively speaking, GWS played better against Sydney than St Kilda did against Melbourne - although to be fair, both clubs were advantaged by the fact their opponents couldnt kick straight.
