Preview Round 21, 2023: St.Kilda v Carlton - Marvel Stadium, Sunday 6th August, 3:20PM AEST

[EddieMurphy]

Carlton beating the Pies and us beating the Hawks looks a little different now

 

[PoppedCorn]

Not quite in the same league as; sparrowsfart.

If the Mrs asks what time im getting up for work and it's extra early I'll run the sparrowsfart comment

Sparrowsfart in the PC household is around 4am

Also, “early doors” must be the dumbest saying of all time

If early doors is a thing then why do we never hear anyone refer to late doors.

Early doors sounds like someone misheard "her indoors" ie the wife.

I love The Doors but they were no good after Morrison died.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Paton had a season where he was shutting down the Toby Greenes and Papleys of the world. Webster was getting a bath from Bruest and Ross didn’t put Stocker on him because he knows he’s not capable so I’m not really sure of what Stocker is capable of doing if he’s going to be a backman.

Yep, I’d give up on Pato in the wing, but get him back to that BP role where he was superb in his early days prior to Roughy’s tackle. He might need to play scoobs, but if he’s good enough to get that going again, then he could be good back fill for Jimmy who is hardly a spring chicken.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

If you read this forum closely every goal we've conceded since 1974 can be traced back to either Gresham or Howard.

Clark a big part too

 

[Tommy Wigs]

They've got Hopper definitely out, probably Rioli too I think. Dusty and Cotch will be fresh after a rest though.

If Dimma were there he'd have them up, dangerous and still believing they can make finals; however last night I thought they looked like they've put the cue in the rack for the year.

We must be good early

 

[tomjoad]

So you've inferred from Ross' willingness to keep Webster on Breust last week and Stockers omission from the Friday 5 pm team, that he's likely to be delisted?

Or is it the above, in combination with a poor season?


He was far from our worst last week and has been really solid all year. For a young guy who's come in as a rookie effectively, with some health struggles, he's locked down a spot in a very effective defence the whole season and arguably, kept out Patto. I'm pretty bullish on him going forward...

Yeah, I agree with this. Stocker is "a work in progress" and may have a couple of things to work on still, but he has been a very savvy pick up for us. Some of his games this year have been very good. There is provable and demonstrable upside with persevering with him at the moment, and definitely warrants another contract (he's also inexpensive)
I can't say that about others on the list.

Wish we’d bring this kit for retro round, everyone in long sleeves

Can we buy this and why not?

 

[DougalHoward]

Are we wearing a jumper for retro round?

Nah, going topless.

Numbers just painted on the backs.


Swinging 60s vibe with body paint.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

What so Carlton are big noting their cracks about beating a side who can’t even beat Hawthorn.

 

[botts]

Someone on SS wrote that Gresham won’t be at Carlton next year.

I heard the hawks are firming. Not the most reliable sources

Yes all their fans are firm tofaybafter knocking off the pies today.

I love a good malapropism.

I find it hilarious so lacksadaisical people become

we are talking a rebuild really

We have rebuilt now it's getting games into the players , the guys who we thought were any good are now behind our kids,
Now it's just upgrade draft or trade like every team does every year , but we now have the nucleolus of a very good side - Owens is tracking better than Fyfe at the same age , Milera is already showing he is going to be elite , Phillipou the skys the limit and with key players like King will just top it off.
Cairnsman you really have to have a bit more faith in the team you support.

For us even to mention off loading senior players like Billings , Gresham , Membery , Clark and whoever just shows how much talent we now have at the club.

What happens if we beat Carlton tomorrow who have been hyped to be a flag chance after beating the Pies are you still going to say the team should put the cue in the rack. --- are you for real , I also expect a pretty good crowd tomorrow

I see also your favorite Sharman is performing like you said he wouldn't.

 

[Saintpav]

Time for Port Power and the odious Kent Hinkley to do us a solid.

I'm chomping at the bit to add to your list.

Well we don’t allow champing on here….champ

We all know how articulate footballers, coaches and commentators can be, well.... :D Here are a few classic verbal slip-ups.. Michael Voss: "for all intensive purposes......" Allan Martello: "the problem, or the bonus contention seems to be....." Brian Taylor: "The Wayne Carey, Ricky Nixon...

Ross dropped Dal Santo back in 2009 who like Billings was a talented but soft left footer, Dal bounced back with a harder edge, hopefully Billings can.

Dal Santo dropped to VFL

Chance Bateman was the one who taught Dal to his major lesson. Ross just reinforced the message.

Paton has shown he was a very good small defender and it's time to play him in his best position.

Everything up until this point of the season is water over a fence, but if we lose tomorrow, I will be prostate with grief.

We win the midfield we win the game - we showed it against the hawks and with the King and Hill only gives us more fire power to get the goals on the board.
