Predictions this Round

[WellardSaint]

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.

[Devilhead]

5+ goal win to the Saints

My prediction

[Yorkeys]

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.

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

[saynta]

No free kicks to king even though he is infringed upon numerous times.

[The Fireman]

No free kicks to king even though he is infringed upon numerous times.

he does get frees.. they might miss a couple but all in all I don't think he is ignored by umps

A couple of blatant ones missed last Thursday night.

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

[Rubyjo]

We will spoil the party ..that's what we do

[SaintPav]

We’re not favourites in this game.

[Jacks Back]

If most people think we'll lose, we'll win. If most people think we'll win, we'll lose. I think we will lose

[Impatient Sainter]

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.

[Teflon]

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

[samoht]

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.

[Beno88]

Ross Lyon coached St Kilda teams are undefeated in seven matches vs Richmond.

[Scollop]

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

[The Fireman]

I'm going out on a limb here and stating that we might win this




or not

Hope someone nails Cotchin.

[CQ SAINT]

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.

[The Fireman]

slow scoring slogs are the way we roll

[shanegrambeau]

..Tiges will try to rough up Max ..

...

I hope Caminiti will rough up the Tigers defenders....

Nooo!!!

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.

or not

Hope someone nails Cotchin.

I've had a pure hatred of the sniper from when he threw an arm around Zac Jones' head and slung him.
Could've crippled him for life. Would've been 5 wks under this year's MRO lottery.
Can't forget it

yep remember that well

[shanegrambeau]

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)

[Yorkeys]

Rain will favour Richmond early. Then they should tire. Travel weary.
