Preview Round 6, 2020: Fremantle v St.Kilda - Metricon Stadium, Saturday 11th July, 12:35PM AEST

[NeXus Nick]

How fu**en good we’re we???????

We finished last that year.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Cracking times! After Tom Hickey lost the top we'd have Luke Delaney effecting the spoil down to the Panther, he'd give the hands to a rapidly running Josh Saunders who'd misdirect a kick somewhat nearby to Tom Curren. Hands off to Nathan Wright and the boys are away! He looks up and sees Tom Lee and Beau Maister making effortless leads into each others space. Not to worry once Maister double grabs at it Mav Weller roves it to Eli Templeton for a snap and resultant out on the full.

2014 take me back.

We would've been top four probably if we didn't get rid of Ledger.

Does anyone else think we are too tall in defence for this game.
I know Wilkie can play on medium forwards, would have gone to sturt (who is now out). Carlisle on Lobb is common sense. Great matchup for us because Lobb is slow like carlisle.

Howard on Taberner, perhaps it allows wilkie to play more aggressively? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Wright used to kick a goal sometimes. Shenton not so much...

Bullshit

Shenton kicked 8 in 24 games, off half back.

Wright kicked 9 from 35 games , sometimes playing as a defensive forward.

Wilkie is just as capable on smalls as he is talls. He takes Dusty when he goes forward and Dusty plays small. He'll shut down one of their smalls.

Wilkie freed up to play the third tall/intercept role is ideal.

He will also likely play on Fyfe when he's down there.

How did you change your name?

What I'm reading is that the pessimistic Saints worrier is coming out in many. Which having been burnt so often in the past is understandable!

But form, reality and what I'm genuinely feeling is we should/will pump these pretenders tomorrow. I'm sensing a close knit unit in good form that's only going to get better as they gain a real understanding just what they are capable of!

Saints by 10 goals!

Wilkie is only 1.91, why does everyone think he should be full back or something.
There are plenty of midfielders taller than him.

You know people are overthinking it when they are looking at dropping players to match up on an out of form team playing away from home

Should certainly give them a spanking!

I am very worried about this game. Just like the Collingwood game, 9 day break v 6 day break meant we had no chance. Well this one is a 3 hour bus drive to the ground to start the match at 12:30 v Freos 5 minute drive.. They will have to get up at 7am and leave by 8:30 just to get there by 11:30 and the game starts one hour later. This is a terrible situation and I have a terrible feeling we are going to struggle.

I would suggest they'll get up and leave a bit earlier than that.

 

[Rizz64]

It was a very mellow Thursday night. I miss the good ol thursdays when we had acres, Shelton, wright and co fighting to be in the team....

In saying that, how different does this team look to the last time we played freo! 8 changes if you dont mind..and Paton standing full back on Darcy

 

[Ducky Tie]

How did you change your name?

Messaged Chief and he was happy to change it for me. Made the simpkin name when I made the account back in 2011 and I was 16. Was a fan of Simpkin but having it as my name seemed a little strange. He had a pretty short career and would've managed to remain pretty out of any limelight. Has the right to not have some random on a forum make their name after him.

And can get a How I Met Your Mother reference in this way.

With King to kick 6+

HAIL TO THE KING!!

 

[gringo2011]

Had a look for St Kilda 2014 and this was the top result - maybe not exactly what I was going for but it's strangely relevant. The week Lenny announced his retirement and the Saints took on the team that was 2nd on the ladder...



Ski to 6:10 for a fantastic Panther cameo.

Oh even better that's the Billy Longer 'scoreboard!' game.

Newnes shoved Dempster into Pav's back and knocked him out.

I count 9? Pretty big turnover in what is only 7 or 8 rounds of football.

Yep, missed Hannebery

Yep, missed Hannebery

Hannabery is named on the bench last time! Tsk Tsk my man!

Who's the moron now Rizza?
Huh Huh...Tell me?....

F#ckin Noones always was a liability!

I am a true bloody Malaka as my nonna would say

 

[malevu]

No pessimism here. Comfortable win for the boys and Hill to be BOG and give the finger to Bell-end.

Sorry for the GOAT but he had his chance to cement his place at the Saints and never really grasped it. Hope he has some sort of career at the Shockers, just not starting tomorrow.

 

[Palantine]

Wright used to kick a goal sometimes. Shenton not so much...

Shenton use to take 30 minutes to move the ball on.

I'd love to see geary play back, forcing a reshuffle that results in clark getting more mid minutes.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised to see gears get a tagging job on walters in the middle.

 

[Impatient Saint]

These games we are meant to win always worry me. Freo in the past have given us trouble, however our form line says (with fingers crossed) we win - hopefully by 5 goals.
