Game Day Round 3, 2019: Fremantle v St.Kilda

[Impatient Saint]

Win today and the f word becomes a reality.

Get on top early and strangle the **** out of these purple pricks.

Go the ****en mighty saints.

Totally agree - if we can win over there in front of their hostile supporters and their home ground advantage (umpires) we will have improved 400% and deserve to play finals. Go Sainters!

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

Some on Freo board not confident at all

their board is a mess, they don't even have a game day thread! A good omen?

p.s. ta george for keeping this place together

 

[Stjonesy]

Just had a stroll along the swan. Cracking morning in Perth, clouds haven't been invented here yet it seems. Not expecting a win but you never know.

 

[VDS66]

Reckon we will lose my four goals plus.

 

[tim_saints]

Bloody pumped, this game can really show us how much the boys have grown this off-season if we manage to get the 4 points.

Would be a massive win if we can get it and I think we can!

Bloody sucks waiting until 5:20 to watch it though

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Yeah not feeling confident on this one.

Steele on Fyfe is huge, if we can limit him to 30 touches and only a couple goals might go a long way!

 

[Drake Huggins]

Does Sportsbet take bets on who will win the free kick count? If so, I wouldn’t mind a lazy 100 on the Dockers!

They don't take bets on absolute certainties. Not even in the quantum universe will we win the free kick count.

 

[Premium]

Does anyone else think their defence is vulnerable?

Just strikes me that they are a little vanilla here. Haven't watched a great deal of them though.

Jade they are vanilla in the back line , they had handled it before by packing the backline however it is a little bit harder now.
If everything goes well our forward line should cut them to bits, we just need a full team performance and we win.

 

[bird_man]

Mine lags and freezes all the time and sometimes just goes pixelated, obviously a shit wifi signal but Netflix and Stan don't do it. When it freezes you have to go back to the menu and click back on the game. It is driving me crazy.

I have not had an issue with it.

Are you streaming it onto your tv or watching it off you phone?

I reckon its alright. Pearce and Hamling are really good players. Wilson and Cerra off half back is good. Ryan is solid. I wouldn't say it's great, but its solid.
They have better key backs, we have better small backs

 

[Saint Shags]

Not confident. Tough ask over there. Just want to see the same effort and aggression as we have seen the past 2 weeks.

Our backline the same but we have the forwards to cut them up , the guys must have no fear and attack the same as the supporters - if we play tight and hard and not give them no room to move , we win.

 

[lewdogs]

Our backline will have its work cut out today. Hogan and MacCarthy look dangerous to me. Biggest ask yet for our new-look back 6.

 

[Sir Skid]

Operation STOP Fyfe and Mundy!

Pile on the pressure and keep it forward of centre

 

[mighty_sainters]

Heading to the game today, butterflies already. Hope we put in a good performance at the least. Go saints

Its tough in Melbourne too , I feel playing the Tigers or Magpies would be just as bad or worse ,

 

[Circus]

Ok, we've only won 2 real games but each one required resilience based on belief from the entire team. Haven't seen that for quite a while.

We can win today. We have the skills to play according to our current game plan and that plan is a game winning approach. It is very hard to win a game of AFL footy. Look at the ladder. Our blokes look like they know what they are expected to do. That is refreshing!! And that gives me confidence.

Go Sainters!!

 

[Fruity Boots]

Chalk this one in boys

 

[Fruity Boots]

In the ‘w’ column

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

I know people like to point out Gears' disposal at times but yesterday Nic Newman for Carlton had 20 disposals for 11 turnovers.

Anyway i think we're a serious chance here. I actually think we match up on them pretty well. It'll be bloody hard without Stuv but Hunter gets his chance which is great.

Their biggest development this off season has been their offence and i think our biggest has been our defensive structures so it makes for an interesting game.

Saints by 16

Anyone know what hotel they at, might have a wander if it’s near east perth and not Burswood.
Didn’t know about them in the park meeting people yesterday even though it’s about 100m from where I live
