Preview Round 6, 2019: St.Kilda v Adelaide - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 27th April, 4:35PM AEST

[bergholt]

Just think it was wasted pick with Rowe .

Yeah, seems like it. I guess they panicked when Carlisle was going to miss the season. Was Robbo already gone at that point too? If Wilkie hadn't turned out to be good then I guess he might have come in handy.

Would like to see hind get rewarded for his effort the last few weeks.

That would be my only change.

I'm predicting a saints win by 67 points.

Crows can't score running forward and with our new def structure they won't get 90% of their goals out the back like they have the last 3 years.

Crouch bros can't kick, tex can't mark and Steele will go to sloane.

This will be the game that announcers us as a real contender for finals.

Up the saints!

Prime opportunity to see how Billings goes in defence.

WTF??

I agree Saints by 10 goals ± against those downhill skiing flat track bullies.
Suns we due for a loss. Saints in Melbourne will smash them.

Bloody hope this is the case! I’m sick of it always being something wrong with the other team when we win!

Who’s going to Eddie? Gears has done well on him in the past.

I feel like they've got lots from outside 50, can our current defence deal with that?

If it can deal with Hawthorns forward line it can more than cope with the Crows... Tex is s**t... most overrated player going around.

Now watch him kick 6 because I said that but seriously I think I’m as confident as I ever have been this year going into this game after seeing us yesterday.

 

[Fiftyfifty]

Don’t think it will happen .
Marsh was ok ..still needs games in my opinion, but will say he will be handy with his speed long term .

Think it will be McKenzie prefer White only because of playing this week .

Hind was ok ...but didn’t play as well today .

Clark & Dunstan were only others that played ok , really don’t get the Rowe playing key forward for periods
today..waste of time.

Hind seemed to be playing a different role today. Stayed backed more , could he have been told to keep back ?

 

[Sir Skid]

Gears will be a big loss in terms of experience against Crows.
I'd consider Newnes in Gears spot as in good form again. Only Brown, Sav and Web with any great games experience down there so Newnws may be able to help. Could bring in Hind for pace on wing.

Alternatively maybe Dmac straight in for Gears with his hardness.

 

[plugger66]

I guess not many tall forwards down there until Maxie starts playing? He has to play somewhere, and we've got a few key backs.

Also it’s easier for the second ruck to be a forward than a back. Only forward against the strong breeze. Back rucking or off the ground with it. Makes sense where he played. His recruiting doesn’t. So unfit.

 

[Saints TV]

Absolutely pumped for this game. Hoping we get a solid crowd and roll the Crows!

That’s why I reckon McKenzie plays if fit. Hind doesn’t look like he knows what an opponent is and white may not be agile enough. McKenzie has the pace and body size. I doubt they will want to use Webster on him. Paton is the other choice.

 

[Phoenix_9]

McKenzie for Geary (inj).

FB: McKenzie - Brown - Wilkie
HB: Savage - Battle - Webster
C: Billings - Ross - Newnes
HF: Gresham - Bruce - Lonie
FF: Kent - Membrey - Long
R: Marshall - Steele - Steven
I: Paton - Acres - Sinclair - Parker

Confident that we win, don’t think it’ll be by much though.

What makes you come up with that conclusion about Hind ? Surely he deserves a chance .

 

[plugger66]

Because that’s what it seemed like to me. Just runs and runs. If the ball is turned over he is in trouble. He certainly isn’t the match up for eddy based on today or last week at the ground He will get his chance but I don’t think it’s this week

He’ll get his chance. We just have to pick the right guy for the job, and I think, if fit, DMac is it.

 

[Brains Trust66]

To get an idea of how bad the game was between Crows and GC , the afl highlights package had to include guys kicking points as the only goal in the first quarter was actually kicked after the siren .


Don’t Panic !!

Was at both games and thought he played really well last week and was good today. Understand what you are saying but he can break a game open with his run. That is why he was drafted. His kicking was off abit today but not always his fault others fumbled and missed marks.

 

[Lightsxo]

Guys Dmac for Geary is the logical choice (medical approval pending). Let’s not complicate things too much. If it wasn’t for his concussion he’d be playing this week.

Tough little bastard.

Like the sound of Newnes going back. I’d probably be recalling Clark immediately though.

Although could raffle the spot between him, DMac, White or Hind imo

Personally I want us to remain underdogs as long as possible. I know I’m going to be going into every game expecting us to slip up so keep the surprise factor going as long as possible I say.

He's definitely more of an attacking back man than a one on on defender. I think we are zoning more and even Geary plays less accountable these days. Brown is even having to run between players. It will depend on what the Adealide forward line looks like IMO. If we think an attacking option is better than someone a little more defensive it might come down to White looked over for Hind if Danny Mac is out still.

I was listening to the Adelaide game today on ABC radio, they had a sound grab that sounded like Paul Roos saying we were the only obvious stand out team this year. I think people are stating to look now.

I’ll only believe it when I hear it from all three of Riewoldt Roos and Ricciuto.
