Preview Round 23, 2019: Sydney v St.Kilda - SCG, Saturday 24th August, 1:45PM AEST *2019 PRIDE GAME*

[VDS66]

It won't happen but here's a range of selection options for the committee to consider

Ming preparation - Rowe ruck Marshall forward/ruck

Trade time - Acres and Newnes out for Marsh and Langlands

Speed upgrade - Lonie and Sinclair for Young and Parker

Lets see what they've got - Membrey for Mayo, Clavarino for Carlisle

Farewell old champ - Armo for Dunstan

Just to really annoy him - White for Savage

Worst outcome is that it will guarantee us Pick 5

Why not go all out and play Sandy instead?

Soft...

 

[pebblesofsand]

I'm not keen on tanking. That's a Melbourne thing.

Nah not tanking - no matter what happens on the weekend - we can't finish lower than where we are right now.

Draft position management is what I'm calling it.

Split Pick 5 and you get Pick 19 and 20. Split Pick 7and you get Pick 22 and Pick 23.

 

[Crusty Undies]

McVeigh's and now Jack's last game and possibly Buddy's 300th. Great.

 

[Saint Watto]

Swans are that team where the closdr you believe you are a beating them, the bigger the loss...

That's the spirit VDS......lol.

We cop bigger hidings down here than up there for some reason.

Sounds a lot like tanking to me.

Maybe that's why Melbourne got away with it though? Just claimed it was "draft position management"

His facebook page is a pisser

In the sense that it is an absolute embarrassment, and the cringiest thing on the internet.

Every bloody time I get my hopes up that we can pick them off, they smash us.

They have been fooling me since 2005.

Never again!

Swans by 46.

Yeah it's night and day in terms of how much we have to play for. I won't say I'll be happy to lose but given the circumstances if we keep it tight and Sydney get up by a handful of goals it won't be the end of the world.

Not one of those players you have suggested to come in deserve a game but hey lets just give them games.

 

[Human Person]

I for one have a bewildering optimism about the game. I know it’s unlikely, but screw it. I’ll be there with bells on.

Saints by 13.

Apologies on the intrusion - is jade Gresham a chance to play this week? (Draft fantasy purposes)

70/70 apparently

 

[PoppedCorn]

Mehhh
Bring on trade period, pre season and King/Bytel

If it’s who I think, absolute tosser.

 

[OxSaint]

My changes this week would be;

In: Webster, Gresham.
Out: Dunstan, Paton.

Will be at the game on Saturday. Can’t wait to hit the beers and see which St Kilda show up.

Bing on trade period, pre season and Kings/Bytel

He’s more of a tosser on here than he is on his Facebook page (which is hard to believe )

 

[upbeat54]

In : Webster

Out: Lonie

 

[tomjoad]

I don't want to see us lose, but I think Armo at least deserves a Sayanora game now that all hope for the finals (improbable as it all was) is done and dusted. The bloke was good there for a bit, and love him or hate him, always tried his best in a team that was pretty much on the floor. Let him run out with Stuv for what is most likely his last game with the Saints too, and kiss 2019 goodbye as two of our guys walk into the sunset. Win or lose this game it barely changes our position. We can afford a bit of sentimentality.

Bring back cho for one last post game presser.

Struggling to care much about the potential result, but looking forward to one last outing from Battle, Clark & Marshall.

Buddy had about 7 shots on goal in the first quarter on Brown last year, so that would be fun to watch again.

We're really going to miss Mav's 1 kick and 5 frees against from our last sydney encounter too.

Swans by 71.

 

[kernelT]

It's fanciful, but I wouldn't mind one more look at White in the seniors, still not convinced that he is the spud people make out.

 

[Ducky Tie]

At least Sinclair won't be there to kick his usual bag against us.

 

[malevu]

Ross Lyon sacked. The day just got better.

After an underwhelming season, the Fremantle Dockers sack their coach of eight years Ross Lyon and chief executive Steve Rosich will also depart in an attempt to revive the club's flagging fortunes.

[denisp]

No wonder you cop it. It’s very boring. Anyway we can’t possibly win this. We have no one to give a last to. They have plus probably franklin 300th. It will be a no tackling affair. Them by 37 points

Rubbish of course we can win this

 

[BrutThough]

Looking increasingly likely Buddy will play his 300th this weekend.
