[Selhurst Saint]

And it's a night game!!

[Saintmatt]

You beauty!!!!

[mr six o'clock]

Gee
Not much time to get that stand built !

[saintspremiers]

Gee
Not much time to get that stand built !

Yeah that’s what I thought also - no mention on Saints website re the 1,000 seat stand.

Also - why aren’t we playing 3 practice matches, given the idiotic AFLX has been canned?

We don’t need a BYE in the pre season comp!

We used to always have 3 scheduled inter-club practice matches before the AFLX garbage.

We will probably schedule a intra club practice match either before Hawthorn or in the bye week.

They need to fix up the grass, surface is s**t

I’m sure you’re right - but an extra game against another club is more TV exposure and better for marketing.

[Toy Saint]

Fantastic that we're back at Moorabbin. Club should promote it as a nostalgia event and offer a free ticket with membership.

[Jacks Back]

They'll probably water it the night before (and leave the sprinklers going all night.

Just like the old days.

That’s the very least I would expect. Are there any gates that they can funnel people through to charge?

Praccy matches are normally free if you have a club membership of the club that’s playing

[Linton Lodger]

Love it. Can't wait, a game at Moorabbin!

[Enrico_Misso]

But no animal pit.

They should at least set up an area surrounded by barbed wire.

[samuraisaint]

Beer in cans.
Burgers from the O'Briens food vans.
Watching Phil Stevens captaining the reserves in the curtain raiser, playing at full back.
Kids having to stand on tinnies to see the action.
Everybody smoking.
At quarter time and half time people moving from behind the goals at one end to the opposite end following our full forward.
Southside Six/Players for a few coldies after the big game.
Lucky Burgers on the way home.

[B.M]

Hmm...

I prefer the comforts of Etihad

[MC Gusto]

Yuk

Couldn’t disagree more on the plastic fantastic Etihad

Grass roots grounds or the MCG for me

[saintsRrising]

Kids having to stand on tinnies to see the action.

You are obvious old enough like me to remember the large steel beer cans. Mainly Fosters I think?

As a kid one of my first tasks was to hunt around for two cans to stand on to increase improve my viewpoint.

Given the likely crowd size Moorabbin will have major better buzz about it.

It is aready free with your membershup

[guitars4]

I wonder if we will run the sprinklers on Wednesday night just for a bit of nostalgia

[B.M]

What could be possibly bad about watching the footy at Etihad?

Perfect conditions

Comfortable

Great viewing

I watched Sandy and the girls at Moorabbin last year. Viewing was terrible. Standing only, no incline so unless you were in the front row, poor viewing and no atmosphere.

I was a bit, meh.

Looks like a good training facility as it is, not so much for watching a game. TBBO is a better place to watch footy.

[magnifisaint]

Always bloody whinging and whining!

[B.M]

I just tell it how I think it is... and don’t buy into mutual wankfests.

[evertonfc]

Could be a massive crowd.

Can't wait.
