Game Day Round 3, 2024: Essendon v St.Kilda - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 30th March, 4:20PM AEDT *HASTIE DEBUT*

[Saintos The ITK]

All the girls and boys abroad getting up at ungodly to watch our beloved Sainters. I admire your dedication. That’s what being a Saint is all about.

Don’t post much anymore but always read the forums. Weird vibe without George . Place has no character or vibe, it’s like Richo is running the joint.

1:20am on a Saturday isn't even bad. It's the 2:40am and 4:40am games that really suck

 

[triggering bro]

I don’t think this game is gonna be as easy as we are hoping. Might even find ourselves behind at HT, but I reckon we run over the top of them and win by 4 goals.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

At the Essendon vflw game to watch someone I know play. Wearing my saints hat and walking around their training ground feels like a bit of a win though

 

[Diehard Saint]

Roof open or closed?
I assume closed for TV purposes. It’s a shame though.

Has the roof been open in years? I genuinely can’t remember

 

[HillToKing]

I have no idea why but I have a very strange feeling that we'll demolish the faux tough essendon edge today.

They always close it now

 

[mighty_sainters]

Not sure how this one plays out, listening to Cornes and Brown it seems our strength plays to their weakness.

If King was in I’d be confident, without him it’s a much closer game.

Funny that. I don't recall that anyone was banned so it must be they're all just sooking. Or maybe they've all started a new fan forum just for themselves.

Closed. AFL policy to have it closed

 

[god_of_the_universe]

They haven't had the roof open since 2019 I believe.

 

[The Cobra]

You think that teenage kid put himself on the wing then?

Absolutely - premeditated by Scott - my mate (who played in the game for StKevins) said they thought it was a great joke even though privately he was pretty disgusted.

GAME DAY - BRING IT ON ️

This GIF needs to be nominated for something. What is the BF meme equivalent of the Oscars?

 

[Saint Kidding]

Watching from home due to Covid.
Need a win to lighten the mood.
Nothing wrong with a bit of chest puffing and shoulder bumping, but hopefully anything dirty will be pinged early so players can settle and get on with footballing.

 

[The_Steadier]

Coops to kick 5

Good idea!

I vote for these ones

 

[Premium]

Very tough game. Will be rapt if we can find a way to win it given our outs. We still have enough good players out there to get the job done but it will come down to roles and everyone performing theirs.

I really think it comes down to the midfield , if we break even there we win , dominate there and we win easy.

 

[Murraj1966]

How’s our edge streaks going boys and girls? Yeah that’s right even girls can be as depraved as supporting Essendon

 

[Geezington]

Again. You're saying one of the Scott bro's did this when playing school footy finals so he was 16-17 years old. He lined up on the wing, not his normal position. Do you think that was his own inspiration, or possibly another person like maybe a Coach or something? Is that kind of thing from a child really so unbelievable coz it just doesn't stick out to me.

 

[StCicatriz]

Risky game. They tend to go very well against us at the dome

 

[Diehard Saint]

Hey, I can’t even remember last season….
