Preview Round 10, 2020: Gold Coast v St.Kilda - Metricon Stadium, Thursday 6th August, 8:10PM AEST *RYDER 250TH*

[plugger66]

A nice way of telling Ross he isn’t best 22

Except he is still injured.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Melts?

 

[plugger66]

Sav very stiff to miss out.

Not really. Last in. First out and just bombs Long was always replacing him unless you have another back you want out.

 

[triggering bro]

Sav very stiff to miss out.

Sore back or excited?

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

This is our best possible 22 imo. Maybe Sinclair for Hannas or Ross (if he was in form). How good to have pretty much every best 25-30 player to choose from

 

[Plugger35]

Can't argue with those changes, Kent and Long the obvious ins and Parker and Savage the obvious outs.

Good to see playing the best possible 22 and not mucking around with any unnecessary rotations.

Do you think he would have got dropped if he's kicked those 3 goals?

Hope we win easy and it's just a training run in the end and attack Cats in top condition - I want the Roo's to do damage today / bang up a few of there players

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

but he didnt. He bombed it and wasted scoring shots.

 

[12Chill]

So much for earning a spot...Long plays in the practice matches not even in the best comes in.

Savage has a good game and gone for one of Rattens favourites. Ridiculous.

People bagged Richo for playing Newnes and Sinclair. Well Ratten has his favourites to!

Long was best 22 all year until getting suspended, was always coming straight back in. He averages the most intercept possessions out of our whole backline.

Savage wasn’t even selected in the 22 last week. He was 23rd man and came in for Ross as a late change. He had a solid performance. But he’s not best 22 and having 1 solid performance as a late inclusion doesn’t outweigh Long’s impressive first 6 weeks of football this year.

Rattens favourites actually win games

Long > Savage
Kent > Parker.

 

[plugger66]

Do you think he would have got dropped if he's kicked those 3 goals?

No idea but he didn’t. I still want to know who should miss out if he plays.

 

[Plugger35]

Just noticed Pearce Hanley has been dropped for the Suns, that's a bonus for us as he is one of their best and most experienced players.

Stewie Dew making a statement perhaps.

An easy win would help us with the short break coming up but I'm not expecting it, the Suns have been competitive in every game this year.

 

[Sab22]

Longs inclusion means more midfield time for Hunter especially with Ross and Hanners out.

 

[Joffaboy]

Someone earlier said Witts was out.

Seems to be named.

You do understand how selection should and does work. Savage got a game because of a late change. He was and should be first out. And it depends what your definition of a good game is.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Sav awfully stiff to not even make the squad after a perfectly fine overall game last week where he did plenty of good things.

I reckon the person who witts is out is a bit of a f witts.

Suggests rats doesn’t really go for the long bomb without looking player. Good decision

 

[Sab22]

Creamed myself looking at that. Stop it Ratts!!!

 

[bird_man]

Sav very stiff to miss out.

Not one bit

Long was always coming in for him

 

[Joffaboy]

Agree wholeheartedly. Barely hit a target all night, bombed to packs

 

[BrutThough]

An ITK on the Gold Coast board suggested earlier in the week he has a chance to miss and has been managing an ankle issue.
Probably where they got it from.
