Not wishing him ill he's just old and it's on the cards ...

As I am unable to get to Sydney this year, I am predicting a resounding win by St Kilda, something of an anomaly for games against the Swannies.

Jack Steele to own the centre square with 30+ possessions and 12 tackles
King to kick 6
Owens, Windy & Phillipou to rotate through the midfield as a glimpse into the future
Brad Hill to get the one Brownlow vote behind Captain Jack & Max
Billings to kick two goals after coming on as sub halfway through the 3rd quarter

[BadRossco]

Just hope we can turn it around and get a win, hope we don’t lose this one at the selection table.

[remboy]

Owens 28 possessions
Owens 12 marks
Owens 6 goals
Owens (sorry Saints) by 50.

[saynta]

Just hope we can turn it around and get a win, hope we don’t lose this one at the selection table.

That would be a good refreshing start.

[Vortex]

Higgo to advance his grip on the top goal scorer

Crouch to advance his grip on the TB medal

Swans by a really small margin in one of the ugliest games of football ever to be played

My Brother Teffers to crank up his screaming at strangers on the steps of Flinders Street station.

RTB is in denial.
Says we only had one bad game.

He won't drop Seb, Crouch, Higgo
Higgo needs dropping as he dropped his head after fluffing the gimme

[Otiman]

What Ross says to the media and what he believes are two different things. I judge based on actions not words, so we will see what happens this week.

[Devilhead]

Buddy to kick 7 and then do nothing for the rest of the year just to troll us

It would be typical Sainters

It would be a wise investment to put a few $$ on Swines to win by 35.5+ as 6 goals minimum would make sense, based on how rubbish we've been since the Carlton game.
Paying over $4.

Revisit this one late on Thurs night

Prediction haiku

On the S.C.G
Why do we win so rarely?
Answer me fairly

[MC Gusto]

The boys have belief which is good but the past month would predict a solid victory to the swans going on form

That said the swannies have been unexpectedly ordinary this season for a team that played off in last years GF

Expecting us to be competitive through to the end of the 3rd

[older saint]

Tough contest resulting in a predictable SCG loss by under a couple goals.
Kick more points than goals and have more scoring shots also.
Blakey to eclipse Sicily record from last game fro intercept marks.
Buddy to do SFA on Wilkie until the last 2 minutes where he kicks a 50 m bomb to end the game.

Looks like i will be watching the cricket

[Otiman]

When do teams come out? I'll make a prediction after that.

[Yorkeys]

Selectors will agonise over who to play on Papley and will second guess themselves into a wrong decision.
I think just get Battle to run over him three or four times early to mitigate the damage. Don't like advocating gratuitous violence but am at the end justifies means barracking point.

[Otiman]

You just play Paton on Papley. Nothing to agonize over. That's what he is in the side for.

Stocker could do the job but is better off being damaging off half back.

I actually think you'll see Stocker and Sincs rotating through the midfield a bit more this week.

[Ghost Like]

OK, scratch my JB prediction & put it on hold for his first game of 2023 (as sub).

Butler to kick 3 instead.

[SaintPav]

Owens 28 possessions
Owens 12 marks
Owens 6 goals
Owens (sorry Saints) by 50.

Nice.

[Teflon]

Buddy to kick 7 and then do nothing for the rest of the year just to troll us

It would be typical Sainters

Sadly….am expecting Buddy to do something
Nothing next week when it don’t matter
Sharman to kick 4 and Vort/Cairnsman 2 fingered salute

[CQ SAINT]

OK, scratch my JB prediction & put it on hold for his first game of 2023 (as sub).

Butler to kick 3 instead.

Only 4-6 weeks away, another half paced mini pre-season and then he can trip over his shoelaces on the way onto the ground - 6 weeks.

[samoht]

No Sicily, no Sydney (geographically speaking)???

As long as Blakey doesn't become this week's Sicily (hopefully RL 3.01 has learnt from last week).

[SaintWiki]

Saints to win by 3 points
Owens to shine
Backs to be very strong
Forwards to kick straight
