Game day!

What are we expecting? I don't know how seriously we are taking this but their midfield looks thin like ours so I would say a good opportunity really test ourselves.

The watches:

Jhye Clark - can he kick good?
Jack Bowes

- will he repeat the good work?
Shannon Neale - is he going to start giving key defenders nightmares in the vfl or afl?
Ollie Dempsey - can be found an afl level role?
Mods - are they super annoyed that I started this?

No need to start a new thread - we've got this one now.

 

[Play it Sam]

Starts 5.10 p.m. can see Entry at Gate 13 but unsure of ticketing requirements or charges.
I'm calling the Club when they open, sick of lack of communication for accessible patrons, both tonight and we have no STK game seats as yet. Great start.

Nah I just got here to do it…

But I’m at work on this Sandler thing so I’m gonna let this roll.

[STPer18]

No injuries.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

#cba - not just here to take your mortgage interest

Who do you think has the higher CBAs? Bowes or Clark?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

No injuries.

4 points no injuries?....

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Anyone going there to watch in the flesh?

 

[Stokey]

Pretty predictable squad. No bolters.

Should win this. Can't see the eternal promise of the Dons being good coming to fruition any time soon.

 

[Heckler]

Expecting : Senior Cats to Deliver
Hoping : Newbie to surprise
Accepting : Strong team showing.
Tolerating : No Injuries

Over-Under on Neale 2.5 goals?

 

[D BRIDGE]

4 points no injuries?....

Seems you can get 4 points in Round Zero these days.

Fingers crossed they hook us up in Round Minus 1.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Over-Under on Neale 2.5 goals?

All in on under.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

All in on under.

I'm going over but wouldn't put in a huge stake.

I think he'll get more opportunity in-game for longer given we won't want to risk injury on the other two. Maybe they experiment further with Cameron around the ground. Plus I feel like we're going to get plenty of inside 50s

Would you be under if the line was 1.5?

 

[Stokey]

#NealeInHisPresence

Over-Under on Neale 2.5 goals?

Under with rotations. I'd take two. I'd take 5 huge clunks and 5 out on the full at this time of the year.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Under with rotations. I'd take two. I'd take 5 huge clunks and 5 out on the full at this time of the year.

Solid logic. I will say I'd expect him rotated out least

 

[goyoucatters]

No way. Reliable conversion for a tall forward from what are often limited opportunities is absolutely huge.

[D BRIDGE]

Would you be under if the line was 1.5?

I wouldn’t bet if that was the line.

1.5 is probably the correct 50/50 line so there wouldn’t be great value and I could see him kicking 1 or 2.

Hoping he kicks a bag though, but he has never been a big goal kicker.

#HugeDempsey

Dempsey is being told to get on his bike and roam more.

Where will he get most of his possessions? Inside F50 or outside F50?

 

[Stokey]

No way. Reliable conversion for a tall forward from what are often limited opportunities is absolutely huge.

#esavasayshi

Did you see McKay and Curnow in the praccy match?

 

[goyoucatters]

Did you see McKay and Curnow in the praccy match?

No. But I gather they were an exemplification of the point I have made. There is already chatter about how McKay's continued profligacy in front of goal could be very costly for the Blues again this season.

Yeah maybe, but at VFL level he's kicked 3-5 8 times from 25ish outings so maybe a quarter of games. I would argue that level is the closest level to what we're going to see today

No. But I gather they were an exemplification of the point I have made. There is already chatter about how McKay's continued profligacy in front of goal could be very costly for the Blues again this season.

Are you Rex Hunt?

I dunno... Jake Stringer has had his best pre season ever for the 29574th year in a row

#NealeInHisPresence

Over-Under on Neale 2.5 goals?

As resident front seat driver of this particular train… I’d like over but reality suggest under …
Extra rotations and his 6th game at this level suggests still things to learn.. keep the pressure off
