Preview Round 9, 2021: St.Kilda v Geelong - Marvel Stadium, Friday 14th May, 7:50PM AEST *WEBSTER 100TH* *WILKIE 50TH*

[jwikked]

I keep telling people the last time we won in Perth was Harveys 350th... now I’m not even sure his 350 was in a Perth. Or if we even won.
But through volume and persistence I’ve convinced hundreds

We beat Freo in 2017 (subiaco), Round 9 2010 we beat West Coast there

 

[saintsmania]

Byrnes and Ross to spend more time in the guts to replace Jones..well earned game for highmore to replace coff who has been off his game this year..

 

[prophetic1]

All i wanna hear is CBBC...CBBC....whether its CROUCH BYTEL BYRNES AND CONNOLLY, CROUCH BYRNES, BYTEL AND CLARK, CROUCH BYRNES , BYTEL AND someone else that starts with C that plays in the midfield that we import at mid season draft.

Jones having surgery on his quad today according to Tom Browne

Well on the bright side we get to pick up another "star" kid in the mid-season draft. Unless they decide to raise our average list age again.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Why does Frawley deserve to come straight in ?

I mean he should fine straight in if he’s fit.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Why does Frawley deserve to come straight in ?

Yes he is experienced, but when last did he play a full AFL game?
Smacks a little of desperation to me. Which I suppose we are.

Hope this comes back to bite me on the bum 10:30 tomorrow night.

Has a pretty good record on Hawkins. Whilst it would have been better to have another run at Sandy, Hawkins / Cameron would have destroyed Joyce imho.

Think we’ve got around 4/5 list spots - surely got to find something good if we use most of them.

 

[Mowman]

Lets hope he can run the game out
Seems a desperate move to me

I understand your concern - you’re absolutely right - it’s a massive risk to bring him straight in and it does smack of desperation but I think he’s a better match up for Hawkins than Joyce would be.

It seems desperate yes but to me it feels like replacing someone with a better option who is available.

his fitness will be a concern but let’s see how he goes.

 

[prophetic1]

Nah, don't change mate. I like your style & posts...and in fairness you've toned the capital's way down compared to when you first posted...now that was some interesting, arty, non-linear stuff right there

Well I guess I have worked on the art of the diplomatic compromise. 'It wasn't easy but nothing is.' As DYLAN did say..'You've gotta serve somebody." Above quite a few things I serve the SAINTS because I love them, so in the end what matters is seeing them resplendent upon the dais come the grail!

No way in the world has he had enough game preparation to take on one of the best forwards in the game - but then again the selectors know better , I hope he has a good game.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Just a habit I got into with job I did years ago I guess ... we were requested that all name should to be capitalised...sorry If it's annoying I'll change it if its required ....... I guess in the substrates of my thinking there is also the desire to give acknowedgement to the name that represents the entirety of who they are. Its akin to respecting their individuality...for what are we if nothing less than a name....so much more but the name is a start!

Nah it doesn’t bother or annoy me at all. Just something I noticed. At first I thought it was just random words then I realised it’s proper nouns. Actually I quite like it because it grabs your attention.

We have to believe the club wouldnt bring someone back from a long term injury if they didnt believe they were fit enough to play out the game.

So believing that to be the case, Frawley is the best available player for the job.

 

[kernelT]

We’ve been one of the worst inside 50 tackling teams in the comp this year. What stats are you looking at or are you referring to stats from last year - not relevant.

How far back does Triggs relevancy meter trigger?

Lonie had 3 inside 50 tackles in his last match... if you did that each week you would be comfortably in front of kosy pickett and miles ahead of the comp.

It’s fine to say that they were in bad form early this year, but so was the whole team. Not sure if that means you run a line through them forever as we’ve seen some pretty good footy played with Butler & Lonie terrorising defences with pressure.

 

[SaintersUnite]

We’ve never lost a game with James Frawley in our team.

Coffield being dropped will certainly wake him up , knowing he has to earn a place in the side.
Now we will see how Highmore goes , he has had a taste and know knows what to expect.

Last time we beat West Coast in Perth. Yes it was his 350th. In 2007.
And wait I’m wrong. We beat them in Perth in 2009 and 2010 too.
We also beat Freo in 2008, 10 and 11 there. Oh and 17 in the last match we played at Subiaco. Never won at optus stadium. Hopefully it doesn’t take as long as the Adelaide oval took break.

Thanks BT you put that exactly the way I was trying to lol

Yeah I think the idea behind it is that people trying to ascertain the principals involved in a deposition, script or pitch could grasp the protagonists and antagonist's involvement as they scan through the pages of dialogue or pros. Our eyes tend to blur when all the type is of the same value!

 

[stfan]

With Frawley debuting for the Saints the Frawley clan will probably attending en masse.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Frawley to Hawkins.
Howard to Cameron.
Wilkie to Rohan.

Dr Spaceman and CaptainRisky to Bar.

 

[austinnn]

sadly not much to pull from... i think that's the real issue here

I would have gone with Dunstan for extra midfield depth over lonie

My guess is Higgins gets a run in midfield, Lonie and Butler our two small forwards

 

[bergholt]

Oh s**t he must be back on the fruit toast
