Preview Round 22, 2018: St Kilda v Hawthorn, 18 August 2018, 7.25pm @ Etihad Stadium

[killerspud]

Not many of the GC boys had great things to say about Gaz, because it was one rule for him and another for everyone else. Heard this from someone who hangs in the same circles as Prestia.

I heard that Jnr and Zac Smith were given week passes to miss training so they could clap and sing with Hillsong church. Can't be great for team morale

Bit nervous and excited at the same time. Pretty young team, reminds me of our first game vs Brisbane which makes me nervous. The positive is a settled back 6 which individually have a lot of weaknesses, but seem to have a great balance as a unit. Impey and Miles ability to evade tackles and wait to find a good option has been awesome.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Pretty happy with the team. Good to see Big Boy back and Glass get another run

 

[Thaihawk]

His return was running off Little Gaz and kicking the sealer

I saw Worps run off little Gaz twice!

Just quoting as I wanted to like it twice!

That's clever. Why haven't I thought of that?

McEvoy O'Meara Worpel

Nice to see The Worp named rover

Has Ceglar just been Renoufed

I hope not. A McEvoy-Ceglar combination at their best could really trouble opposition sides. I hope they both get an opportunity to play together next week. We have nobody in our forward line that is consistently capable of really taking contested marks. (Roughead is still our best option.) We need to be able to kick more goals if we are going to make any significant progress in the finals. Cyril would be handy @ this very moment!

Stating the obvious...after a very impressive month we cannot afford to slip up against the Saints. Go Hawks!

Happy for Pitto to get another week in the seniors.

How did he play last week? Serviceable?

Very solid, hard to gauge his ruckwork since the cat didn't have any but applied good pressure around the ground.

People going overboard Stanley was leaping all over him until he got hurt and then Geelong really didn't have a ruckman. He should go ok this week also though as St. Kilda are missing their two first choice rucks.

 

[Sir Galahad]

Must be exciting for the two Conors to be playing together in the seniors, for the first time.

Hopefully the first of many joint appearances.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Hopefully the first of many joint appearances.

Hopefully they wait until after the match unlike Danny in The Club.

Ahhhh Cyril... would have been the cherry on top right about now. Still sad about it.

Yet respective teams are happy to make allowances for Saad and Houli and that is welcomed. Hypocrisy much?

Clever player management.

We have the players to beat St Kilda, they're in a serious mess and can't wait for the season to be over. Hickey out is a major loss for them and the ruck dominance should give us an armchair ride into a comfortable 40 point win.

Ditto Brand

We will need Brand against some teams (WC, GWS, Cats) but not others (Tigers, Pies, Swans).

Why am i nervous about this game?

Why am i nervous about this game?

Because you know what is at stake and that if you're 5% off your game, then you're in trouble

 

[Davo-27]

Why am i nervous about this game?

because we lost to gold coast twice and carlton in the lead up to the finals in 2017 and we lost to brisbane twice this year, thats why........

 

[Glenhope]

Saints board going ape over Nathan Freeman getting omitted. I've never heard of him. Some future champ?

he has played 2-3 games, but from what ive seen of him he looks really good for the saints, probably their best prospect behind Gresham and Billings.... from my pov (IF he can stay healthy, he is a bit injury plagued)

 

[Lotus]

Why am i nervous about this game?

Just this game? I'm nervous for every games, even the game against Carlton. Should be okay for Saturday night, play well, get the win, no injuries and no suspensions.

My thoughts exactly.
