Game Day Around the Grounds: Preseason Edition

[Gethelred]

Go for it, Baggers!

Any thoughts on today's earlier offering, Aints vs Essendon?

Review - Prac-Match: St Kilda vs Essendon, RSEA Park, Friday 03/03/2023 @ 4.10pm

What’s the free kick for? Saints ruck pushes him then gets tackled and doesn’t dispose of the footy

(OK no that's against the rules.)

 

[Coona Blues]

Big takeaway is that young Caminiti plucked from our reserves list is looking very likely for Saints. Double figure dusposals and presented well all day. Key forward, hasn’t hit scoreboard, but playing “higher”. We unearthed some promising talls last week as well. Obviously a big focus of our recruiting.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Pretty excited.

Going Asahi’s & sausages/shaslicks….pretty basic fare.

Go baggers.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Looks like that kid Weideman has not improved but that kid Setterfield is the bombers best mid with 24 touches

Mr D . Shiel - You have been steeling money from AFL clubs long enough

Saints and * seem to be at a similar level.

Biggest take, they both want speed on the ball

Ross will instill/flog the group until he gets all players running both ways

was being interviewed by Eddie Betts. Because he played well or because he was picked up as a delisted player?

 

[Bfevola]

Because St Kilda want to be Carlton, so want to throw Stocker in our faces. They will stop at nothing at making him a champion for that reason.

Thanks mate!

* pumped - good start......

 

[Mondyboy]

I watched about 15 minutes of the game and it was a whole lot of long bombing. Bummers seem to have zero system. Aints are better, but only marginally.

Even as a practice match it’s hard to take either of these sides seriously.

Watched a fair bit. Didn't do a lot. Couple of long kicks that the wind got a hold of making then poor.
Sadly he is still a fair way off. Probably damned a bit by the method of his recruitment (first live trade) as we set our expectations high and everyone else was keen to bag him (and SOS by association) .

Of course. They lost by fewer points than 5 of their games last year.

SoS loves giving his mistakes another chance

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Number 19 for Footscray looks a handy type.

 

[Juddrockz]

With having 4 umpires on the ground the free kick tally is going to be through the roof.

 

[Mondyboy]

Tiges not showing much. Dees got the jump on them just as Swans got the jump on us. Lynch, though, looks good.

If this is anything to go off, Contested ball at stoppages and good efficiency by foot will be important against this Tigers side. Not to mention physicality. They seem to be trying to stick with the importance of one percenters and overlap run, when it presents itself. Rioli killed us with that overlap in Q1 start of last season until we shut it down.

they said that when a second was introduced and the same for a third................consistent fear of dramatic change is consistent.........

 

[Beyond Blue]

Prestia injured apparently and not taking any further part in the game

Dislocated shoulder. Doubtful for round 1.

 

[gbatman]

Tigers ball movement looks ok, they look fine however falling apart in the front half. Melbourne look an all round good side. Both teams have big numbers running from behind the ball and a desire to get the ball in the middle. Happy to take the game on with handball.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Good to know we'll have a third practice match to blow out the cobwebs before the Geelong game
