Same.

And don’t forget the following day is Family Day. Depending on which long-range forecast you’re looking at the top temperature will be somewhere between 20 - 35. 🤷‍♀️ But whatever the weather conditions, we’re hoping for a really big turnout. ❤️💙

We should torch them

We should escape the Ross Lyon vice grip somewhere in the 3rd to last and win by 4-5 goals. If the Saints have improved and are playing at their peak.

Me too! I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a pre-season game, and your training reports are a big reason why 😃

I don't even know what an RSEA is, but I've always imagined it pronounced to rhyme with "classy".

Stands for Reserved seating every area.. @ RESA Park.

Do you have inside word that it's on Fox/KAYO?

At the moment they've programmed GWS V WC from last year on from 4-6pm on the 24th of Feb, and the media have previously announced that only the second round of practice matches (March 2-4) will be televised.

I'm thinking or hoping it will be a live stream from the club if it's not on Fox. 

 

That's correct BBB the Tigers game is on Fox/Kayo and a real live stream would need to be done by the Club for this Saints game to be on TV.

Yeah, sounds like these week 1 praccy game will be on Kayo but not Foxtel.

The Foxtel tv guide has already scheduled live games for week 2 (ie - Melb V Rich) but nothing for next weekend.

Same formula as last pre season. Kayo graphics and their own commentators for the first week of praccy games.

Maybe the head of the ground-naming committee was a member of the N.A.D. (National Dyslexia Association). 😜

[durango 1,984]

RSEA Safety is a Sponsor of St Kilda and must have paid naming rights for the old Moorabbin Oval.

Good times 😳

It’s scheduled to be 35 at first bounce at this stage. Too hot IMO.

Maybe they could look at pushing the game back to 7pm given the venue has adequate lighting (or at least I think they do??)

Or delay it until Sunday in 23 degrees.

Ridiculous to play in 36 degrees with predicted thunderstorms.

This is Melbourne you are talking about - probably end up being cool and wet.

Am coming down from NSW so hoping for a cool change

Except that the next day is also hot, so more likely correct.

Does anyone know if they charge to watch????? Members I'd imagine wouldn't pay, but how about the average punter?

[MrFreeze 1,400]

Would love to see Chandler take Spargo or ANBs spot to see if it work during the year

Good to see them featuring Max King who won't be playing for the first 4-5 rounds!

And no Membrey, so that's another player who always kicks a bag against us.

Will be almost a pointless exercise for us, and with the expected heat, why would you bother?  Still it will give the Aints fans plenty of excuses......

Was there today for my sons pre season training (u11s). The ground is very lush! Has 6-7 lights but it won’t be very bright. 
 

Doubt the game will go ahead as planned with that forecast.
