Why are Saints playing at Etihad ?

[ArtificialWisdom 4,045]

I was a little worried about round one.... Now I'm really worried.

I'm just hoping that this is mostly Port being completely horrible

It's a bit of both, one knock on St Kilda is their skills aren't that great but otherwise they look good.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Saints look good, no doubt about that, but let's not forget to mention that the Power look like absolute rubbish at the minute.  

Plus the Saints, as someone else mentioned, get to play their first game at Etihad where there game style always looks good.  Wouldn't be reading too much into it at the minute.

For all their dominance we had scored more against better opposition at this point in our game...

Whats wrong with Linton Ave 

Fmd...some are AFL little favourites !!

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

Reading these posts I thought they`d be up by 6 plus goals....8 points in it as I type! Maybe not that formidable after all?

[whatwhat say what 22,965]

Riewoldt, Stevens and others all rested I think

 

Hard to care about it, especially when the cricket is a nightmare that's tough to look away from!

They burst out of the blocks but after qtr time they were not anywhere near as impressive and really should have lost if port wasn't so bad in front of goal

Ha ha ha! Get f***** St Kilda!

 

(Damn.)

Good to see the Tiges continuing their 2016 form.

I guess they can be excused, missing half their team (Rance) tonight.

 

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Yes the intensity of this match is about half of the Melbourne V Bulldogs last week. The bestest thing about it is watching Eddie Betts being Eddie Betts. Makes you smile just seeing what he can do. 

[beelzebub 23,383]

I still would like to know how the Aints get an Etihad gig?Wheres the "community" in that ?? 

[Hulett Packard III 166]

Bad couple of days for the City of Adelaide with both of their teams going down. 

Funny thing is that the media are talking finals and perhaps better for the Saints and doom and gloom for Port Adelaide but there was only one point in a practice game played at St Kilda's home ground and Port had more scoring shots.

The general consensus amongst the media is that the saints stopped trying after quarter time. Idk whether to believe it or not. The only evidence they provide, bar the sub par performance, was that the saints rested Riewoldt and Steven after half time. Saints will be the new beloved of the media after everyone gets sick and tired of the Bulldogs winning, methinks. 

[Moneider96 1,045]

From what I've seen thus far, the Saints do have a stronger backline and forward line than us. We have a stronger midfield. Hopefully that will suffice, come round 1. This will be such a good game. Can't wait.

Saints only kicked 9 points more and had a swag more against than us in 2016. Their ℅ lower. They simply managed a few wins where we managed to lose.

Our list is better. 

We'll own them soon like those bltches at filthland. 

Our better midfield will cause more i50's and we have superior conversion

Go Dees

My wife said both teams are playing near full strength squads! Ross may struggle again this year.
