Preview Round 1, 2019: St.Kilda v Gold Coast - Marvel Stadium, Sunday 24th March, 1:10PM AEDT *Parker, Wilkie & Kent Debut*

[VDS66]

Replacement buses, whohoo!!

I'm driving 3 hours to Belgrave so I can catch the train...

If he plays against medical advice the club would not be liable.

The club/staff could be charged with some sort of negligence if they let him go on when it’s not medically safe.

Does anyone know if our main session is tomorrow or Friday .”,keen to get down and watch

Thanks

I think Richo mentions it in his presser, I can’t remember which though.

Totally agree.
There is a little thing called the OHS Act

Disagree.
Harmonization legislation could well apply as the concussion issue is well known.

 

[Persevering Saint]

That number 10 Guernsey should be boxed indefinitely and the locker burnt.

BURN IT! BURN IT WITH FIRE! !!!

Duty of care

 

[nitewalker13]

They're saying that every time he steps up his training to anything close to 100%, he gets pain/soreness/awareness in his hamstring, which results in them dropping it back and then gradually building it back up again, in the hopes that eventually he'll be able to train and play at 100% intensity without any issues.

This could potentially go on indefinitely and we're probably guessing as to whether he will ever overcome it.

It reminds me of someone with a similar case at saints.

 

[Premium]

Only if that’s how it works in courts if something happens

Heard the other day from a Cho interview he hadn't trained since he had the knock , so I can't see him playing this week at least.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Replacement buses, whohoo!!

We have to put up with another year of it!

I'm driving 3 hours to Belgrave so I can catch the train...

I'll be going to Gardiner. Next to the freeway so a quick exit.
It is for me only CFD-FSS shut so I can get get a train to CFD and get a number 3 tram if I really want.

Do trains start at Gardiner???

Basically evrerything stops at caulfield.

 

[hayes]

When all three of Kent, Parker and Hind are all picked tomorrow I want you all to remember that I picked this back in December! Finally I can say I got something right!

Fingers crossed that Richo is brave enough to go with just Marshall in the ruck with Membrey and Bruce forward. If he does I might even start believing in him again.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Speed yo!

 

[Keystone agony]

Selection is going to be very interesting if we do indeed play all of Hind, Wilkie, Parker and Kent.

Geary - Joyce - Wilkie
Savage - Battle - Webster
Billings - Steele - Newnes
Gresham - Bruce - Kent
Long - Membrey - Marshall

Pierce - Ross - Steven

Parker, Hind, Clark, Dunstan

That means no room for Sinclair or Acres?

Think thats the team except Acres plays and no Pierce. Marshall to solo ruck vs Witts with minor chop outs from Bruce.

If Marshall is given sole ruck duties for 8 rounds straight his numbers will be as good as any ruck outside the big 2.

Richo said Thursday in his press conference

 

[Verdun66]

I must admit as the season opening draws near I'm getting a tad nervous. Be very interesting who we pick first up. This is where track watchers are handy. Must be some clues. We will miss Carlisle, but hoping like heck our improvement and a more reliable team system will see us through.

Robbo a great loss, but we didn't really have him last year. Same with Paddy. I see possible improvement all over the park. Newnes, Dunstan and Savage particularly to up their output from where it's been. Steele and Long to reach new levels. Marshall to surprise a few. And our new players to inject some real spark. Getting toey!

Only pity is that that daylight saving hasn't changed in either Aust or the UK yet. So the game starts for me at 2.10 am on Sunday morning! Ouch.... Anyway, I'll be there.

Gardiner is the king of stations...I watched my friend get caught trying to steal a porno there. TTooronga is for chavs

Look at JLT...I know it is only an indicator, but that is the best indicator for now. We will be minus robbo (big loss) but will cover him with wilkie probably. So that is a loss. We add Stuv. Clear cut gain. We lose Paddy...can cover him or change forward set-up. So for me it seems net sum gain, or close to it. We should win this one. Hopefully after last year no more complacency and no more "phoning it in" as someone said. More energy from new boys. Better game plan, better knowledge of game plan, better options for "plan b" and so saints by 25pts.

Do think we'll win. Just nervous!! Want us to show improvement on a consistent basis. Get some confidence early and see where it takes us.

Is Long fit to play Sunday?

Yes

There must have been 2 sinclairs out there the one I saw was below avg at best

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Two Sinclairs in two different games.

Was average v Norf & reasonably good v Dogs

 

[The Enemy Within]

Coaches don't just look at kicks & H/B more to it then that inside 50,pressure acts & he's clean going forward can hit a target he's 2018 numbers are no worse then Steele's numbers & no ones asking for him to miss out.
