Preview 2024 AFL Season: Round 22 - Richmond Tigers v St Kilda Saints, Marvel Stadium, Sunday, Sunday Sunday 11th August 3:20pm

[PoppedCorn]

Well at least dusty can't carve us up

 

[Saint Watto]

This is a cripple fight, with our cripple expected to win. Given it's an away game, I would have to pay to attend, and I am not paying to watch the dross that will be served up at this match, even if we put Francis the talking mule on the field!

Geez TB....your turning back the clock....I think the spring just broke....re Francis the talking mule !!!!!!!

CRIPPLE FIGHT
note: Following clip to be more entertaining than the game.

 

[EddieMurphy]

Effective immediately, the sheer thought of exiting via us has shaken him to his core that Dusty has promptly decided to yeet himself from the entire AFL to avoid such a fate.

Anti Bradman, would have bought his possies average up to 40 playing us in his last game

 

[SG34]

Well, umm let's see shall we?
..mm
Best forward is Marshall who is a ruckman. (Sunday: Higgo and Butler 10 possies between them, Caminini and Coops combined for 14)
..cough..
Best mid is Sinclair who is a backman.
...mnnn..
Best defender is Battle, who is leaving for Hawthorn, (maybe, probably)
mmmn..

Yes
Looks like we are set to go.
Who are we playing?
Richmond.

Start your engines.
(sound of EJ Holden and four-cylinder Commodore can be heard)

He's also since been 1up'd by Tom Hawkins, who we play after this mob. So you know what that means...

 

[BrutThough]

No Clark on the injury list is promising.

Hopefully we see him and Brynes back this week.

 

[True Believer]

No Clark on the injury list is promising.

Hopefully we see him and Brynes back this week.

And maybe even Byrnes?!

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Hopefully we see him and Brynes back this week.

And maybe even Byrnes?!

Perhaps both

 

[BrutThough]

And maybe even Byrnes?!

Spelling is hard

He's our lucky charm this year. Games with Hunts in the side we've gone 5-3. No-one else has a positive record.

62%: Clark
50%: Byrnes, Howard, Membrey, Webster
47%: Wood
46%: Butler
43%: Garcia
42%: Henry, Hill, King, Sinclair, Wanganeen-Milera
41%: Higgins
40%: Battle, Hastie, Jones, Marshall, Owens, Steele, Wilkie, Wilson
38%: Ross, Stocker
37%: Bonner
33%: Phillipou, Sharman, Windhager
31%: Caminiti
29%: Dow
25%: Cordy, Paton, Schoenmaker

Does that mean something? Probably just coincidence tbh.

Maybe that's how we should pick the side. The best 22 based on winning percentage gets picked.

I’ve heard of worse ideas actually….

But the curiosity arises , Hunter has the lowest in field times! He’s usually on field for 65% of the time.

 

[Remboy]

But the curiosity arises , Hunter has the lowest in field times! He’s usually on field for 65% of the time.

And we win nearly 65% of the games he plays. So if he played 100% game time we'd be nearly unbeatable.

 

[pebblesofsand]

In Melbourne this weekend so I'll be heading along to this game.

Might watch this one from level 3 so I can get a birds eye view of our scintillating ball movement.

 

[SG34]

And we win nearly 65% of the games he plays. So if he played 100% game time we'd be nearly unbeatable.

This proves that St Kilda supporters are of a superior mathematical acumen.

That's so crazy, it might just work!!!

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Too much to hope for another debut this week?

 

[dudeintheswamp]

What's with the poll at the top of this thread by the way?

 

[The Punter]

Time for Heath this week.

Ins: Clark, Byrnes, Heath
Outs: Owens (managed), Dow, Bonner

 

[StFly]

I decided to have some fun, I mean, it's a preview and we went from lions to tigers so I went Oh my. This is also why bears are listed despite being an entity no longer in the AFL specifically.

Makes it hard to get your first game, or do they all start at 50%?
