Our 2's play at 10:05 at wherever St. Kilda play at these days.
We're 8th at the moment, while the 'Aints are 16th, so we're warm favourites.
No idea who will be available for us, but it is unlikely that all our Emergencies will play.
Team unavailable, but that is no surprise. We won't publish our list before Sunday morning. Maybe Moir will be available. Reidy probably will be, as his time out for concussion should be over.
Scheduled for RSEA Park in Moorabbin.
Fair enough: I don't recognize the aboriginal name.
As sexybronco pointed out in the AFL pre match thread

[1] 15 listed players, included Weitering for the first time in a long time. Moir back as well. Hope he can show something this week. The forecast is rain.
[2] I don't see all 3 Emergencies playing. And I can't be sure Weitering will be there.
[3] Cody Walker is back. Looking forward to seeing him back in our colours.
[4] 3 rucks: I'm not sure all 3 will play if it is as wet as it is supposed to be. That may be why Riley was named on the bench.
Reports in the media, they have been told Weitering will be on limited minutes, not sure if that is official.
It would make sense. He's been out for quite a while now and probably needs to come back slowly for a change.
Full forward with a spell in the ruck :D :D
I wonder how many of us had this on our Bingo card...
"Weitering won't play towards the end of the year because of injury, but don't worry we'll beat the premiers by around 70 points and Weitering can come back through the VFL."
Another sign of a better run club. Bloke has been out for a good while... come back gradually, initially, on limited minutes in the Magoos before returning to the seniors... form permitting.
Difficult conditions today with a blustery wind, we’ve looked to have control of the game so far and lead 3 goals to 1 at quarter time. Ison providing some nice link up running, Weiters playing controlled minutes. We gave a good sprinkling of senior players out there today.
Liam Reidy having an impact today, ‘playing angry’ according to the commentators which is good to see.
Umpires playing for the saints so far in the first half.
Flynn young probably our best performer thus far.
Weiters started strong.
Riley and reidy doing well. Boyd seems to be playing well.
Moir class from few disposals.
Ison very creative involved in a lot of scores.
Fogarty and campo twins working hard.
A hard game to watch generally.
Had all the play that 3rd quarter only to register 2.7.
Theres a strong wind, so that potentially has cost us the game.
Yep, probably fell back to that habit that cost us games a little while back - kicking ourselves out of the game.
I think this might be the poorest game jacob weitering has ever played.
Ollie hollands hasn't covered himself in glory today either.
25 frees to 15 in the saints favour and they keep getting holding frees whilst we are trying to kick into our forwardline. Not sure how that works.
umpiring absolutely disgusting
I would prefer it if he were to play smart - gives away too many dumb free kicks by playing "tough"
He cost us 2 goals himself in this quarter.
Ben camporeale shoulder injury.
Umpires very one sided. Any 50 50 call went the saints way.
There was a jack ison free not paid 3rd quarter that was identical to the eventual game winner.
We kicked ourselves out of the game. Flynn young the major culprit kicking 1.4 from 6 set shots.
So the day hasnt started well for us.
Shocking second half to watch 🤦 as said umpiring went all Saints way but also we played crap.
Losing hurts us.
Reidy had 29 disposals, yet we struggled with clearances (other than Reidy, who had 13 himself!).
Cody Walker had 28 disposals, but only 1 clearance. I'll be interested to see how he was played, but he usually gets clearances.
Moir: 19 disposals but not a single score.
Very frustrating- I really hate all things StK!
To be kind to the umpiring: perplexing. Who said umpires don't influence games?
We obviously failed to play the conditions properly. Aints did.
Ye Rat O' The River is right, IMHO, re Reidy... time to be smart young fella, not always the tough guy.
We were in the lead the first three quarters, but couldn't finish the job. Sigh......
Literally same infringement seen differently depending on team colours 🙄
However we looked looked a bit of a rabble after half time.
Saw Ollie get HOTB 3 times in that second half, trying to run thru or outrun. Not good.
When they got close at the end of the third we were never going to win kicking into that breeze.
One of our kicks went up and almost came back the other way.
I wouldn't worry too much about Weitering it was more about just getting through the game.
Camporeale may have blown his chances of a game this year depending on the extent of that injury.
He has ability. I'd like to see both him and Lucas given another year. But we'll wait and see.
O'Keefe....He will be very lucky to stay on the list. One kick, even for a goal and one handball at VFL level is nowhere near it.
Riley didn't have a big influence either but he's well ahead of HOK
For the opposition-Alix Tauru has earned himself a bit of a bad rep with suspension, but gee he can take a grab.
In a windy game where you only get 2 qtrs to properly do something you have to kick straight when you have the wind or you are really behind the 8 ball. Think we kicked 2.7 in the 3rd qtr from what I was reading somewhere. That really hurts as it is hard to sort the next qtr.
High wind game and it got stronger as the game progressed, not much to talk about, kicking for goal cost us, we generated plenty of opportunities and burnt them.
Walker and Weitering probably our two best, not much effective system from the team this week, partly an issue of the conditions but certainly team changes contributed. In those sorts of conditions you need everyone in perfect sync, half a step away r half of a second late and it's amplified by the wind.
HOKs 1 kick came off the ground from the goal square after a handy tap on from Ison.
Wasn't really the conditions for a big man, but it wasn't a hurricane out there so should've managed more than he did.
The great white hope once Charlie left, now heading for the delist pile at record speed.
We really need to focus on this area in the off-season.
HOK is gone, Reidy and even Riley are probably in front of him.
That was a disappointing loss but you have to play conditions. Kicking high balls and playing from behind when kicking against the wind is never going to get it done.
Reidy had a great game, despite the conditions, but an AFL standard ruckman should dominate at that level. If I heard the commentators correctly, Reidy led the field with ground ball gets and that's certainly a point of difference with our other ruckmen. However, he didn't take a single mark and we certainly needed a marking target when we went down the line.
Weiters was OK and should be a lot better for the run. I think the MC will be tempted to pick him for the Bulldogs but I'd give him another run in the Magoos, unless he trains the house down this week.
I liked the energy, attack on the footy and smarts that Moir and Ison showed but they need to impact the scoreboard. Young was busy early but his kicking for goal was poor and he faded out of the game.
Walker and the Camporeales were good and Hollands wasn't bad but his lack of awareness cost us. Skull had a day he'd rather forget.
Sadly, I think Zac Williams may have played his last game in navy blue.
In fairness it was strong gusts which in many ways is worse than a steady strong breeze.
A steady breeze is a skill issue, gusts reduce the contests to luck. Having said that, I thought we won enough contests, we just wasted the effort.
