Preview Melbourne Vs St Kilda @ MCG, Round 13, 2013

[tasmanlvr]

General concensus on Saints board is that Maister will be out. Thank f**k for that

Maister is out.

And will be for about two months.

Given that he had surgery on his hamstring a week ago, everybody knew he wouldn't be playing.

 

[Praetorian]

Milne and Maister combined for 5 goals and 7 goals in rounds 5 and 20 respectively vs melbourne last year. makes a big difference. All we have to do is limit riewoldt and let kosi take out all their other forwards if hes playing.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Heard Mitchell Clisby may be upgraded to the senior list. Any chance he comes in this week in a number of changes sweeping through the club

Almost certain to play

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

Interesting stuff. Anything else noteworthy happen at the session?

Was there a house being trained down?

 

[tasmanlvr]

Was there a house being trained down?

I wouldn't say they were training the house down per sé, but if you compared Neeld saying that they trained the house down, under Craig they trained almost a whole ****ing block down

Of course, we'll have to see the end result on Saturday before making a call between Neeld vs Craig.

This is the first time in a while I've felt genuinely excited before a game. And optimistic. Just thinking about a possible win puts a smile on my face. I’ve been practicing my singing of the song. This is going to a cracker. I think I’ll cry if we win it’s got that kind of pent up emotion behind it,

Yep, Neeld gone means we'll suddenly win games of football.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Pfffft, ain't nothing gonna change. Get ready for a semi competitive first half and an eventual 10 goal loss.

 

[Jamurp]

We may get the classic post coach sacking win, but I'm not that confident.

 

[maxmustard]

Saad our for Saints.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Good Clisby will get a game.

Byrnes, Spencer & Nicho recalled.

 

[fushy]

Russian is out and they pick spencil over GAWNSOME?

 

[Demon JP]

Dawes is still in

 

[Crimson Azure]

Clisby being in shows that Craig must have rated a few players differently to Neeld.

Looking forward to seeing what hes got.

Maister (as Wilkes) would have had a greater contribution in the first game if Watters hadn't weirdly pulled him off in the 3rd.

Pluss Saad tore us apart last time we played them.

 

[Viney4PM]

Good to see Clisby in. Have been keeping an eye on him in the VFL, averaging around 20 disposals per game.

Love Craig's approach on bringing the kids in to at least give them some game time.

 

[Dez!]

Is Viney alive? Round 11 injury list had him at 2 weeks, anyone know anything else?

Another 2-3 I think.

Stress reaction in his foot, needs to be managed carefully so it doesn't turn into a stress fracture - these kinds of injuries are pretty common in young players.

He was only kicking with Brian Royal yesterday (Royal's kicking is really s**t - hint hint) and then left. I think he'll be another two weeks.

Sounds like Royal was just simulating match day conditions

 

[AFL is Number One]

Pfffft, ain't nothing gonna change. Get ready for a semi competitive first half and an eventual 10 goal loss.

Agree. A pumping to the tune of 8 to 10 goals is on the cards. If we can get to within 48 points, That would be a good result for us.

Hahahaha

You kidding?

Within 3 goals is a good result, within 48 is shite.
