Predictions this Round
Going very early, I know.
Most goals
King 4, Higgo 4
Most marks Wilkie 12
Most possies Crouch 32 (only 5 to a team-mate)
Sincs 32 and 9 coaches' votes
Final Margin
Tigers by 18
My reasoning is that their short passes are more accurate than ours, they can bring it through the middle better than us and find Reiwoldt on a lead, and their small fwds are like bull terriers.
They won't let us score much on turnover because there simply won't be enough turnovers.

Re: Predictions this Round
We play ok at the MCG.
Hence predict we will go ok.
Also Tiges will try to rough up Max off the ball and the umps will let them.

Re: Predictions this Round
Ross flagged this after the Hawks game, at the presser.
I hope Caminiti will rough up the Tigers defenders, without crossing the line.
He might hold back in case umps have an eye on him

Anyway that was my prediction, I never said it was a fact of history.

Re: Predictions this Round
A win and to get back somewhere near to the level where we were playing in the first 6 weeks would be nice. It would be the first time we have won back to back games since then.

Re: Predictions this Round
Really tough one…
Our pressure matched well with Tigre chaos…we don’t mind it…less so against Port or Pies or Dees precision ball movement..(which picks apart our zone..)
Win this and it’s 2 in a row for first time in a while and sends a maturity message …
That aside, youd expect the Tigers will be up n about for the snipers 300th …
Love to spoil the party but reckon they’ll get us and we’ll bounce back against Brions at home week later

Re: Predictions this Round
Apparently, Lenny Hayes made the match-winning phone call last week (from home where he was recovering from flu) when he got Windhager moved onto Warner.
I can see Windhager starting on Taranto, and possibly Ross playing on Balton - to dampen their influence.
Our forward line and defence should take care of the result ... we should win this.
We're 5th on the ladder, after all.
And there's no Lynch to worry about.
Cotchin to take it on the chin, accepting the disappointment like a trouper.

Re: Predictions this Round
We'll be ready for them. Could be some angry stuff early and Richmond players flying the flag for Pickett and Cotchin.
Hopefully it's the best game of the year so far and another St Kilda come from behind last quarter surge
I predict we'll win in a close one. I think as we get a few players coming back from injury and competition for spots heats up, all players will want to impress

Hope someone nails Cotchin.

Re: Predictions this Round
I think it will be a low scoring slog till half time and then the lead will change 4 times in the 3rd and we will open the last with 4 on the trot and grind them down.
Max King 6 goals
Windhager 20d 6t 2 goal.
Wood best on ground
Saints by 28 points.

I hope Caminiti will rough up the Tigers defenders....
I would say he has a number on his back different from the one we see in the stands. I'd say it is 50.
I think he is potentially a target and a 50-metre penalty generator for them.
Tigers are wily old pros reaching the end of their glory days.
Caminiti Hammerhead is the young shark that will be the hunted
They will try to trigger him.
He was also quiet last week after the collision disaster with Owens previously.
Hope he kicks 10 all the same.
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Hope someone nails Cotchin.
Could've crippled him for life. Would've been 5 wks under this year's MRO lottery.

Re: Predictions this Round
ChatGPT rarely disappoints, except for those who need disappointment. but I was disappointed
Marshall, the pillar of strength in the ruck,
Towering above, foes he'll outpluck.
Gresham's speed, a lightning bolt unleashed,
Dodging and weaving, leaving rivals breached.
Steele, the captain, commanding the fray,
Leading with valor, guiding the way.
As the siren blares, the battle is fierce,
St Kilda's determination, never to pierce.
Their game plan, a symphony of skill,
Outplaying the Tigers, their destiny to fulfill.
So come forth, St Kilda, let your banners fly,
Unleash your spirit, reach for the sky.
In this hallowed contest, may triumph be near,
For the Saints shall prevail, their victory clear.
Well, using this brilliant analysis
Player most likely to;
unleash (the big O)
breach (Caminiti)
fray (Higgo)
guide the way (Sincs)
pierce (The Butler)
fly (Pou)
outplay(Wood)
command(Wilkie)
reach (Howard)
blare(Howard)
come forth (Crouch)
