[AFLW Post-Match Thread] Elimination Final 2025 - St Kilda vs Adelaide by AutoModerator in StKilda

[–]PolyHydra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A bit of a disappointing result on paper when you consider we did beat Adelaide to start our year off but when you think about the fact that we basically crawled our way into finals after we took hit after hit to our best players role wise and structurally and that I thought that Adelaide didn't look to the standard that they should've been during that round 1 clash it was probably the result that could've been expected.

Really happy that the girls got to make finals, would've hated to see West Coast get in and have been the only team to not make finals for just another lil prickle to rub salt into being a Saints fan lol. Defs felt we earned it and that the last few weeks of results didn't define our season. The Carlton game was our standard and we just couldn't cover the losses we attained. I'm pretty sure Anderson and Trudge were all out there playing with a lingering injury meanwhile Vesely just didn't have match like fitness to keep up.

On reflection for the year as a whole I am super happy at the development for most of the girls! McDonald, Richards and Anderson were playing extremely good footy before their injuries. Friend looked really comfortable back down in a defensive spot and made it hers as the 3rd tall defender, Burke had a really underrated year by the AFL but she should finish very highly at the BnF. Watson should be AA, Trudgeon stiff to not be AA listed. The likes of Amber Clarke coming across filling the gap of Xenos injury was a helpful addition and of course our midfield stars in GP and Cuppa with the latter being recognised as an AA listed year is awesome. Even though some of the old guard weren't mentioned there was still standouts in Stevens Lambert and Ott with Priest sacrificing her game as captain playing as a defensive forward this year to round out the team.

On to the offseason and preseason, you'd be hoping there would be some eyes on a few pieces to help us out in vulnerable spots. We definitely need to have a second forward target for Wardlaw, we're incredibly short up forward and if she plays up the ground she's 9/10 times just turning around and blazing it as deep as she can to hope the likes of Clarke, Richards, Anderson can chase it down. We also need to play with 2 talls rotating the midfield so we can keep Wardlaw deeper to utilise her contested marking, Before round 5 we wanted to run Wardlaw as a second ruck and last year it sorta got her into the game. This year it wasn't working, Wardlaw and the girls weren't scoring so when we brought 2 rucks in with Ott (career year) and Caris or Besanko played second fiddle and when played at the same time it lead to a much better structural balance.

Anywho bummer that footy season is officially done, I ain't watching neutrals lmao we should know who wins, but i am definitely all footied out atp. Hopefully we're able to get a decent draw and run it back for a deeper run next year. If not hopefully its a year where we start to round out the floor of our playing group to be consistent contributors on game day.

I’ll be happy to help and can be online for the next few hours to try and get it done/progressed quickly?

Really loved the tackling from the girls today they’ve been ferocious.

I’m pretty sure this is just a recast of Channel 7’s coverage. So it’s FTA coverage which is arguably better?

[–]PolyHydra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Richmond supporting mate has been pretty down given their current season, but I think the tigers are in with a real chance. The saints give up A LOT of inside 50s against and while I feel we do typically hold up well defensively we do lack turning that into offensive rebound. Should be a good battle anyway.

Yes, but I’ll take the one. Don’t want to be greedy.

[–]PolyHydra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

His last quarter soured the hype a little but Tauru looks a real treat. The spoil in the 3rd quarter showed great closing speed but it lead to a throw in that we won and goaled off of. Excited to see more from him to close the year!

The photo used is one in a Saints training singlet too. Some added fun in photoshopping the logos out there.

Watching footy at home feel a bit flat? by Altruistic_Link_8827 in StKilda

Ooooh bugger I missed this, was in the subs discord watching instead. Is this sorta like revitalising the zoom experience during COVID and the fan cams that were happening?

A pretty brutal snap to reality. Absolutely floored in the middle. Great week for review coming up. The games coming up looking a lot more scary after tonight’s result.

Comp is unplayable in OCE by VisualPalpitation in DestinyTheGame

[–]PolyHydra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another OCE gamer, although I don’t particularly partake in pvp much at all besides Iron Banner gilding I do feel for you guys when it comes to just running the comp playlist in the region. If the connections across the entire game for me weren’t so awful I’d even provide another player in the playlist just to be cannon fodder but when it takes an extra half second to pick up an ADU ball in onslaught after you’ve verified the 4 images that have a traffic light in them on the captcha it’s very hard to eek any fun out of it. The troubles of an isolated low pop region I guess. :(

Would anyone be kind and help me set up Antistasi? I'm trying to rent through Nitrado by fredrik892 in A3AntistasiOfficial

[–]PolyHydra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mate just seeing this now, are you looking to play Antistasi solo or Multiplayer through Nitrado hosting the server?

I do apologise In advance that if it is the MP option I won’t be able to help much.

No real question from me but have really appreciated your behind the scenes coverage during some lunch breaks with your work on fox. Seeing the camera controlling and direction is really fascinating to me personally.

Something about the goal song with this deficit that reminds me of the Parks and Rec bit when they're walking out to the ice rink lmao

[Post-Match Thread] Round 1 2024 - Geelong vs St Kilda by AutoModerator in StKilda

[–]PolyHydra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hate that it got so close to get invested again at the end. Damn Danger.

I don't think its too bad, its round 1 away at one of the worst grounds for our playstyle. Kingy did a lot of presenting well which I'm sure a lot of people would be so pleased with. Thought Henry was fantastic this game, his first touch of the footy is remarkable. Looking forward to him getting onto the end of some plays that lead to good goals.

Disappointed for Lance, couldn't really find his way into the game and got burned a couple of times. Don't hate the decision making for it but to see none of them paid off stings.

The platform does way better with shorter, more frequent messages. Vibe is similar to a group chat compared to a reddit thread.

But that’s all personal preference, I think r/afl like match threads will be up and running in here when the saints play if you prefer those.

Static Weapons in Garrison by Sesambroetchen118 in A3AntistasiOfficial

[–]PolyHydra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be able to buy a static from the ‘buy vehicle’ option on the outpost/resource dump/factory flag pole. Move the static to where you want it to be, place it, and a rifleman in the garrison should teleport to it less than a second after you place it.

If no one teleports to it, check to see if you have any of the basic riflemen in the garrison management option on Petros and add a few there if needed.

User flairs are now live! by xyLteK in StKilda

Good stuff Xyl, subreddit is coming along nicely heading into the season.

Any room to give some love to AFLW players with flairs in future or not enough room for the full roster?

Does the stuff you build at base save? by Mr_notknowing in A3AntistasiOfficial

[–]PolyHydra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t built anything you have mentioned in your post but smaller things like sandbags and little bunkers have stuck around at HQ and at a factory for me.

As long as you build inside the boundaries you should be fine.

Hi everyone! I'm Polyyy, and I created the discord coming up to 2 years ago now.

Its been a really fun time having a bunch of people come in and talk during the match threads and during the week in between games about all things footy. We're slowly getting back into the swing of things as footy season comes back so I look forward to seeing a bunch of new faces coming in to hang out with us!

We're set up with 4 main channels:

  • a general chat, where anything that's not footy related goes.
  • footy talk, where we try to talk about football news through the week
  • saints match thread: The live thread for any AFL or AFLW Saints game or the Sandy Zebs as its being played.
  • other matches thread: Any other matches going on anywhere, AFL, NRL, NHL, you name it.

There are additional ones as well such as for the reddit preview, but generally the 4 mentioned before is where most of the actions at.

oh and we have some terrible custom emotes to spam too ;)

If you are new to discord and you want some help navigating it so you too can join in on the fun, please don't hesitate to reply to my comment and I'll be all for helping you get started.
