News Saints to thaw out in Noosa for a bit

[Jack Stevens]

SAINTS TO HUB IN NOOSA

Tom Morris reports

St Kilda will spend July in a hub in Noosa, players and staff have been informed.

Noosa is a two-hour drive to Brisbane then a 1.5 hour flight to Sydney.

It’s expected the Saints will play games in both capital cities but spend their weeks in Noosa.

They are likely to have another Victorian club join them.

The Saints could depart as soon as Sunday, though an option on Thursday night was to remain in Melbourne for another week to play against Geelong.

I know it's going to be hard on some of the players and staff and their families and yada yada yada, but it'd be bloody nice to get out of dreary, locked-down Melbourne and get a bit of sun for month.

Wags will be fuming if they can’t tag along.

Well it won't be Geelong then going off how they throw a tantrum any time they've gotta take the one hours drive to the MCG

Does that mean the Thu night game next week is at risk?
Playing Thu, two weeks in a row, get the brand out there - that's great for our club aa we hope to get more primetime games next year and more sponsorship/income for the club.
It's great when we're playing well and wins matter most, but we're a club in a ton of debt who need a shove on the business side.

From all reports, we will be staying at the RACV Resort with Carlton.

Not a bad place to hub.

 

[George]

We will be moving to QLD for the remainder of the season.

Leaving Sunday it looks like

We will be moving to QLD for the remainder of the season.

No more Marvel games will hurt us big time.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We will be moving to QLD for the remainder of the season.

We will have to rename the board then.

GO Noosa Saints!

I guess that explains last nights meeting in the rooms.
It does look like ratts wants them to embrace it

 

[George]

No more Marvel games will hurt us big time.

We will be playing the rest of the Victorian teams though. No great advantage either way.

It's more our game style is built perfectly around the fast, indoor track so playing in slippery QLD conditions will (hopefully just initially) be a challenge.

 

[Joffaboy]

I wish I could join them.

Dreary cold Melbourne, chock full of coronavirus.

Can also get into Cripps ear about a move to a real football club.

We play Adelaide round 7 Monday night. What happens to our Thursday game next week ?

 

[Ducky Tie]

Freo and Adelaide over the next two weeks.

Lets embrace life on the road and get to 5-2. Wont get a better chance than we have right now to set ourselves up for finals.

It seems odd to be in a hub with a team that we have already played this year, over one we have not.

That means only games against the 2 Qld teams and 2 NSW teams. A Vic team we had not have played yet would have meant 5 available games.

 

[wolfpup]

our game has been moved and we are playing in adelaide?

 

[XhazzafootyX]

F***!!!! Huge. Gotta roll them both. Will be huge for a finals campaign

The only Vic side in QLD we won't have played in Essendon so a lot of travel is ahead of us

Exactly. Thats a Fyfe-less free as well.

And no excuses to not finally win in Adelaide.

A massive two weeks coming up

 

[bird_man]

So we go from Melbourne, to Perth, to Adelaide and then to Noosa?

 

[ronnysnodgrass]

Noosa you say, operation "GET BEN" is going to plan

 

[Ducky Tie]

So we go from Melbourne, to Perth, to Adelaide and then to Noosa?

When do we go to Perth?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

So we go from Melbourne, to Perth, to Adelaide and then to Noosa?

We go Melbourne-Noosa-Adelaide.
The Freo game is at Metricon

 

[crinkoes]

So we go from Melbourne, to Perth, to Adelaide and then to Noosa?

We play Freo on the Gold Coast next up before heading to Adelaide for the Crows.
Then who knows.
5-2 a massive chance
