All-Australian Patrikios, who has twice won the club’s best and fairest award (2020 and 2021), said she was ready to go.

“I’m very excited to be back at RSEA Park,” Patrikios said.

“I’m incredibly thankful for the loyalty the club has shown me over the past 18 months.

“All I want to do now is train hard alongside my teammates and run out there with the girls next season.”

Historic Saints-Lions double header confirmed for August

Good to see a mention of Fitzpatrick returning, hasn't been sighted all pre-season. I wonder if she stayed back in Ireland for longer, either playing Gaelic footy or packing up her life to move here permanently. The All-Ireland Ladies' final is this Sunday.

Officially in Melbourne. And they look excited to have her back.

Black and Bastiani best 21:

F: G.Greiser N.Xenos
HF:  G.Kelly. K.Shierlaw N.Stevens
C:  M.McDonald R.Dillon. E.Friend
HB:  H.Priest. C.Fitzpatrick T.White
B: B.Jakobsson R.Ott
Foll:  E.McKinnon T.Smith G.Patrikios
I/C:  J.Anderson. D.Guttridge O.Vesely J.Van Dyk N.Exon
Emerg: A.Richards H.Stuart


Not a bad team. Pretty similar to mine:

F: Shierlaw Xenos
HF: Guttridge Greiser Stevens
C: McDonald Smith* White
HB: Jolliffe Jakobsson Priest
B: Fitzpatrick Ott
R: McKinnon Patrikios Stuart
I/C: Vesely Richards Friend Kelly Van Dyk
EMG: Matin


Smith might miss most, if not all of the season though. Stevens, White, McDonald, even Jolliffe, Richards and Xenos could have a run through the middle. If we're too tall down back, swap Ott with Van Dyk. I have Greiser at CHF because I think she impacts better when she works up the ground, and can bomb a goal from outside 50. Shierlaw can take hangers at FF and kicks better closer to goal. Jolliffe slots straight in with her hard working game, versatility and skill set. Stuart might be caught out for pace at this level, but she doesn't stop getting to contests and if we can get at least 80% of her VFLW output that would be great. I'm still waiting for Dillon and Exon to lift their numbers and impact before they slot in (which might be hard to do without a reserves comp). No doubt everyone will get a crack at it and rotated throughout the season.

Apparently there are practice matches this weekend as well as the ones below. I haven't heard who or when we're playing.

Some interesting movements there.

Possibly going with two rucks.
Tall backline with Fitzpatrick, Jacobsson and Ott.
Jolliffe used forward, and Guttridge on-ball.
Anderson already pressuring up forward.
Stuart already impacting inside.
Patrikios played.
Got the win. Not that important atm, but it's better than just letting the opposition walk over us.

And I'm thankful that the club actually reported on this match.
 
St Kilda will dial up its Season 7 preparations this coming Friday against Brisbane, with the official practice match to be livestreamed on saints.com.au beginning from 3:30pm AEST.
