Things you want to see against the Tigers

[LENNY LEADS THE WAY]

Hi all with the pre-season fast approaching for us sainters, yes only 3 more sleeps to go what are some of the things you want to get out of Friday nights game?

For me some of the key things i'd like to see are:

*Fast ball movement using the corridor as much as possible
*Tackling pressure making sure the oposition are always under the pump
*injury free game
*king and gardy giving us 1st use
*not being 1 dimensional kicking it to roo when he's out numbered
*forwardline pressure quality crumbers at the feet of the big guys
*geary armo howard mcqualter to step up

What would you like to see this Friday night?

No-one writing our season off on here should we lose

[SaintBot]

a win would be nice only to keep us at normal stadiums which lowers the risk of injury

my preseason dream would to have zero injuries and that will most likely be best served on proper afl grounds not in the middle of the great sandy desert

[ctqs]

Just wondering ... one of my favorite sayings is that in a fight between a big dog and a little dog over a scrap of food, back the hungry one. Given that the Tigers need a good start more than we do - our focus is on a bigger, more valuable prize - I'm not sure what to expect.

good ball movement - some synchronicity between the rucks and our midfield...and most of all no injuries

[saintsRrising]

*more match practice for M Gardiner...he needs game time.

* good hit outs for the new guys and fringe players selected to see what they can contribute and where they are at. Raph, C Gardiner, Dempster, Howard, Armo, Geary, Allen.....

I would priortise by not playing many of the rookies and instead play most of our fringe players.

McEvoy and the other kids I am happy to not see much of in the NAB. We have good enough deth that they can just be developed in 2008.

*X to have a solid work out.

*Kosi playing the whole game as a key forward....even it means that GTrain and Roo be given lesser roles up forward.



I expect the Tiges to play more for a win...and the Saints more to test players out...including perhaps in new positions....or to give them game time. So if we win that to me will be a bonus and not the priority.

For example M Gardiner may not yet be in good enough form to demand a place...but needs to be given ground time to get him in form.

[Oh When the Saints]

No injuries.

Some of the younger/fringe blokes having a real crack.

If we do that's bound to happen.

[Otiman]

more marking options across half forward. Guys like Charlie Gardiner who can take a mark across HF. Don't know why we haven't used Fiora in this role more often, he's quite good overhead. Even Gehrig pushing up the ground a bit to take some pressure off the "Kick it to Riewoldt" strategy that sees teams able to pick our move forwards based on where he is.

[evertonfc]

Everything the above posters have said.

[fugazi]

#1 Armitage to have a huge game
#2 C.Gardiner to dominate
#3 Kosi to kick 6
#4 Clarke bros to not play 2nd fiddle

[Sam23]

Armitage to play well.

To win, so we avoid the Cairns trip next week.

Gardiner and King to get through the game with some positive signs.

[st.byron]

All of the above are positives if they come about.

* Want to see a forward set-up that is not so dependent on Roo and G-Train.
* Want to see mid-fielders kicking goals.
* Want to see the likes of X, Charlie Gardiner and Schneider , if he plays,
kicking goals.

* Most of all, want our guys to be injury free.

Can I borrow your scissors? My pig needs its wings clipped !!

[cowboy18]

I expect to use our chief weapons against the tigers

* fear
* surprise
* ruthless efficiency and
* an almost fanatical devotion to the jumper

[Hurricane]

Id like to see

Slick skills
Good fitness
Cohesion between the side
NO INJURIES
New players showing something
A defined game plan
A thumping win

BANG BANG

[joffaboy]

Everything everton said, and

Someone to come on here and proclaim we are deadset certs for the flag if we win

[fonz_#15]

i want armitage to dominate, and the boys looking fit.

anything else is bonus. i'm not fussed if we dont in, but i want us to have a dip.

[iwantmeseats]

i want a win, but Ill settle for NO INJURIES god damit!

[st.byron]

i want a win, but Ill settle for NO INJURIES god damit!

Hear hear.
A good hit-out, a small loss and no injuries so we can get on with our pre-season without the Nuff Nuff cup to worry about.

[Enrico_Misso]

Richo come to blows with a team mate.

shock & awe

[Quixote]

I'd like to see us win by ten goals.

I'd like to experience cheap beer at the Dome.

I'd like Adrian Anderson to be strung up by his pastel tie for half-time entertainment.



I'd like many things...

Just hope we don't get injured!

[The_Dud]

no injuries!

[hAyES]

No injuries
Armo and other up and coming midfielders to play well
King and Gardiner giving us first use
No injuries
Quick ball movement
Riewoldt not having the yips in front of goal
And to finish off, no injuries.
