Seaford this morning

[tony74]

Even though we will probably lose you wouldn't be aware of it if you watched training this morning. Lots of energy and an obvious plan to combat the long ground in Perth ( can't give details as you never know who reads these things! ). Some players rested - Roo. Lenny, Hickey, Beau , Geary. Schneids is very close. Very close.
They're fit and they're flying out early. Might just surprise a few for a couple of quarters.
Expect 2 changes.

P.S. Gee Blake Acres is ultra impressive.

Schnieds only a week away according to the Saints website. Same with Steven. How did Steven train today?

[St Ick]

Rate Blacres very very highly, imo could be the best away from Boyd from the draft. I'm happy to hear how well he is going.

[howlinwolf]

Thanks for the report Tony. Great for us nowhere near Seaford.Good to hear positive things about Acres.
I'm tipping the ins might be Longer to help Hickey against Cox and Nic Nat and Markworth for his first game.
He has plenty of run.
This is of course if Webster doesn't come up.

He certainly has the talent. No real perceived weaknesses to his game.

I dare say it won't take long before we see him playing for the Saints when fit. Played a bit of senior footy in WA.

Stevens wasn't on the track or Chips. And Eli wasn't out there either. Sorry forgot about him. Don't think you'll see Marksworth or Longer this week ( bar injuries )

[Cairnsman]

Thanks for the update Tony. Really appreciate your efforts in posting these reports.

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Thanks Tony !Read a fair bit and watched some video of Acres ,looks impressive could be the iceing on the cake!

[FQF]

What is the expectation with Acres? When will we see a debut?

[stevie]

When we played wet toast ovee there last year - or the year before perhaps? - we were going very well until Rhys did a hammie. That buggered our structure a bit and we fell away.

Hit these Egirls hard and early. If they start ducking the head hit the pricks harder. <edited by Mod - Swearing>

Is that Priddis head ducking actor playing?

[Junction Oval]

Thanks again Tony - and why wouldn't these young guys be up and about. They have probably never trained so hard in their lives, so getting early rewards is very positive feedback.

The Melb/WCE video is classical - shows what happens when players (Melbourne), don't harass the opposition and/or the ball. Sides like WCE simply take them apart. We don't want that to happen to us, or all of that well earned impetus will be deflated very quickly.

A win? - doubt it. A good strong effort - yes please.

Combining that with your other post predicting to expect two changes Tony, and to me it's looking like...

Bruce (size down back) for Roberton (struggling, and maybe injured?).
Webster (fast and mobile for a big ground) for the Savage.
That'll then leave Rhys to once again out-jump the Nicnack, and Hickey to combat Cox.

Maxwell's Sliver Hammer time, eh Stevie? I like your evil mind.

[philtee]

Thanks tony74.
Like others here, I just want a consistent effort, and every Weagles score to be hard-earned.
Give 'em nuthin.

[Con Gorozidis]

Thanks Tony!
Man im pumped about Acres. Just looks so bloody good.

Changes id like to see

out: savage robbo
in: markworth bruce (or simpkin)

[Heidelberg_Saint]

Thanks for the report tony74. Who else remembers our famous win against West Coast at Subi when both Spida and Daniel Healey kicked 6 each??

Was that the day Spiders last goal he kicked never went through the goals but was paid a goal? And didnt Mitchell kick the winning goal? If it was i dont remember it.

[NextYear]

What about Robert Harvey's 350th - still got that on the hard drive.

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Yep loved that game,ran our guts out!

[stevie]

And the game there in 2009 after we beat the Cats in the greatest home and away game ever. We had nothing to gain by winning in wet toast and the guys were all sore but we got up and beat the weak gutted flogs! Loved it

[MC Gusto]

Thanks tony

Can't wait to see acres out there. Really sounds line the spirit is back down there and with spirit comes belief. Couple that with consistent effort and there is no doubt we will topple a few that we're not expected to.
As for west coast this week I reckon they will pip us in the 2nd half but I hope I'm proven wrong! Imagine the press should the saints win?!
