Preview Round 13 2024 AFL Season: St.Kilda Saints v Gold Coast Suns, Saturday 8th of June 7:30pm, Marvel Stadium

[StFly]

Welcome to the extravaganza that is hoping for many injuries in the wash out for GCS and an epiphany of skill on our end thread.
​

Does the man the myth the legend of Reid make the Eagles?
Did the moves in the second half make us a competent side moving forward?
Does Battle resign or re-sign?
Is this an advert for a Bigfooty premium membership or mod status so that we have fancy images also?

All I can say is, thank togaman in the sky that they are travelling and we're not for this one. Looking forward to more GCS supporters rocking up and not knowing WTF is going on and why it's cold.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

A nice exhausting game there for Gold Coast

 

[Remboy]

Suns haven’t lost at home, haven’t won away. Saints by plenty.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

In
Crouch
Heath
Hall

Out
Ross
King - injured
Steelo - semi injured/attitude (save for finals)

Heath and Ro (HeathRo) to split ruck/Max’s duties.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Crouch for Ross
Sharman for King (if not fit)


Won’t happen but I’d love to see the Schoonermonster for Bonner.

 

[Sainter1873]

Crouch for Ross
Sharman for King (if not fit)


Won’t happen but I’d love to see the Schoonermonster for Bonner.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Paton in for Bonner in defence.

 

[Coconut_twirl]

I’d love to see Heath get a taste at the senior level. Seems to be developing well and playing some great footy for Sandy in recent weeks.

Unlikely to happen, but it would be good to see.

What will most likely happen - Sharman and Phillipou back.

 

[MUFASA12]

Suns will take us lightly after a good win and cough up the game… bookmark it

 

[Saints4ever]

My 40th birthday on Saturday and I would love a win please.
Last year on my 39th birthday we defeated Sydney in Sydney on a Thursday night.
Same again thanks.
Go you mighty saints.

 

[NasiahToKing]

Longy to kick a bag.

Longy to kick a bag.

Kicked four today.

 

[DougalHoward]

Could be the start of our push for finals if we string together another win

 

[Dr Spaceman]

I’d love to see Heath get a taste at the senior level. Seems to be developing well and playing some great footy for Sandy in recent weeks.

May depend on whether Witts misses again and Gold Coast go with Ned Moyle like they did today.

 

[malevu]

Don't know if it's been posted but saw today that Bonner is 5th on the list of players this season whose turnovers have resulted in the most opposition scores. Acres is number 1.

 

[SG34]

Will Membrey be picked again?

 

[Teflon]

Could be the start of our push for finals if we string together another win

Do not want
Top 5 pick please

 

[CursingFijian]

Have we ever had both Kings on the park at the same time?

Have we ever had both Kings on the park at the same time?

Yeah I think I remember the FOX cameras showing them chatting post match

There is actually only one King. Max/Ben plays at both clubs and just looks tired when he fronts up for us.

Birthday wins are great, about 6-7 years ago the Saints thrashed Carlton on my birthday and Hampson missed form the goal square, seconds after I said, watch him miss from here, was a great day to be alive.

From Wikipedia...


"2020 season

Max King

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

made his AFL debut in St Kilda's round one match against North Melbourne.[12] King finally played opposite his brother Ben in Round 10 against the Gold Coast at Carrara Stadium. It was the first time the King brothers had officially played against each other - even as juniors they refused to play against one another as according to Ben: "we both wanted each other to do well. If one of us played well but the other didn't, it wasn't a great result for us."[1] Max ultimately had a quiet game, kicking 1 goal and taking three marks with his six disposals, while Ben kicked three goals from five disposals; the Saints won a thriller by four points."

Just watched the highlights of the game mentioned above, lots of changes! Ratts and Stewie Dew, Ryder and Carlisle, Ed Phillips! Butler on fire, Battle forward in the last with a big mark and goal. Rankine tearing it up, Dean Kent

[BrutThough]

Have we ever had both Kings on the park at the same time?

2020 and 2021.

I don't see us winning this. Hopefully we can take some of the form from the last quarter into the game. They will trouble us all over the ground and we could well be without King and Marshall.

Mainly just want to see us take it up to them and remain competitive for four quarters. More midfield signs from Dow and Clark would be nice.
