Game Day Round 2 2016 - Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda

[GVGjr]

I thought I'd start this a bit earlier than normal (Apologies to Eastdog)

I'm really looking forward to this game. The Saints are playing well and have everything to play for on Saturday night with Rooey's 300th.

How do you think we will go and how big will the crowd be?

[chef]

Its going to be a great test for us as Sainters will come out red hot. We need to start this like we did against Freo.

40k for the crowd.

[Eastdog]

All good GVGjr. While I usually start the game day threads each week I'm more than happy for other woofers to start them up if I happen to not get in first.

I'm looking forward to the game as well. I reckon we need to be weary with this game as we know what happened last year but I'm hopeful this year will put it right and come out firing from the start. Got my seat secured and will be sitting in our designated bay Level 1 Aisle 48. Could get around 40K for sure.

The Saints always give us a hard time but I think we have the better team. The younger players don't know anything about the past, so they will treat the Saints just like any other team. We were all concerned last week with the Freo talls, but we showed just because they are tall, doesn't mean they are any good. I think Wood will play tall, with Adams picking up either McCartin or Bruce and Morris to Rooey when he goes forward.

The Saints, like Freo will struggle in their back half. I think Fisher is not as good as he once was, so TBoyd should forget the wrestling and launch himself at the ball. Armitage played well against us last year, and we know Bevo doesn't tag these guys.

I hope we give them a smacking. I hate that our games v St. Kilda are almost always close ones.

We need to be defensively on again because they like playing at Etihad too and will certainly roll the dice in an all out attack game IMO. If we get the balance right, we'll be fine.

I'd forget the freaky first game from last year. This one could be similar to the second game, an arm wrestle. We won that with 15 minutes of footy in the third quarter, iirc. Otherwise, StK were with us all game.

I think for one thing we will need to kick straighter than last week, the result could be much closer.

[Ozza]

We usually struggle to shake off St.Kilda.

I'm very confident going into this one. Nothing to worry about. We are a much better side.

Our goal kicking was not the worst ever last week but in closer games it needs to be better as it could be the difference.

Hope we smash them. Karma for Riewoldts dive.

[Go_Dogs]

Always a danger game for us, particularly this week with the build up and importance for St Kilda.

I'm expecting a reasonable crowd, so will need to be organised and arrive early. Should be around the 40,000 mark I'd say.

After an early struggle I think we will prevail.

I think we'll get away from the previous arm wrestles and smack them by 50+

We've won three of the last four, so why does it seem like this mob always give us grief?
