[Devilhead]

Makes getting home from a 4.40 game at Marvel seem quite civilised.

lol get it "gather round" so brilliant!! , this is what you get when you have a room full of people who have spend the last four years at uni doing marketing degree's

[saintsRrising]

Well the main thing that interested me in that release was:

"The fixture for the first 15 rounds, and then rounds, match ups and venues for the remaining home and away matches will be released later this week."

So hopefully that mean by this Sunday.

[Sebastian Tombs]

As we dont know who the "home" team is in this fixture , it could be very possible that we have just lost our highest drawing home game for the season

[desertsaint]

Of course - and have an extra double up against a team in a higher bracket. The reaming never ends.

surely round 3 home game v Ess at G will be our biggest home crowd

A home game at marval vs Collingwood is 100000s of dollars for the club though ticket sales , sponsorship etc game 3 in a triple header is pointless crap

Every Club is getting hundreds of thousands as a one off for this "show", on top of a similar amount for the playing group.

Ahhhh we play Collingwood home and away(hopefully) every season , having this game in Adelaide means we are now 50/50 if we host them in the "return" game and if we dont it will cost the club lots of money pretty simple
Now as for the rd 3 game having some huge crowd, whats that based on? StKilda "supporters" just dont go to games at MCG for what ever reason I dont know but we have had poor turn out by our own for decade's

[B.M]

Whole concept is a load of s***

Another hair brained scheme by morons

[mickey]

For those that hate the concept spare a thought for those of us living in SA (due to adoption) that were born in Vic. I spend nearly $1k if I want to see the mighty saints against anyone but the moronic Crows and Power. You guys can go whenever you feel like it. Finally I'm looking forward to taking my kids to the footy. I plan on going to a few games without an SA side in it. I'm as passionate as any of you, just give me one weekend to look forward to. The Blues got the Crows...that would suck big time !

[desertsaint]

well said mickey. i'm hoping next hear it,s in brisbane-gold coast. And the saints are playing another vic team (not north or hawthorn please).

[mickey]

Thanks desertsaint and there'd be others like us in WA, we do the hard yards because we're not surrounded by Sainters. I'll tell you one thing, if we win the big one a lot of SA people will text me and congratulate me because we are their second team over here. Thanks everyone in Vic for the training updates, we really appreciate it. I'm a saints tragic but I wouldn't be anything else.

[King Max]

Of course - and have an extra double up against a team in a higher bracket. The reaming never ends.

How do you know we play Collingwood twice?

Yep, agreed. I think it will be a positive for the SA supporters if we play there three times next season.
We would be 50/50 against Collingwood over there (better odds than over here), favorites against the Crows, and rank outisders against Port there (or anywhere really).

I remember watching the support we got when we won there twice in a week in 2020 on TV while we were in lockdown over here, and I thought how great and rabid the St Kilda support is over there. Enjoy the game against the 'Woods and I hope we win it for you guys!
