Game Day 2021 R13 vs St Kilda @ Cairns, Sat 12/6 @ 6.55pm

[Golumless]

Murray is named as the medi-sub

Nah, was the medi-sub last week.

It always comes from our emergency list, which Murray isn't on. If this is a rest for Sholl, which it likely is, he'll be the medi-sub.

 

[Golumless]

Why didn't we rest Sholl in weeks prior? Instead of directly before our only bye?

I could see two major reasons. One the matches against Melbourne and Richmond were super important for development reasons, seeing Sholl needs to face the best teams as much as he can to find a way to survive, and thrive in them. Secondly, I think we were hoping he'd be able to hold on until the bye.

It's really not that hard to understand I didn't think.

 

[PsychoG]

Rest, dropped, whatever, I think we can all agree Sholl is down on form and it’s most likely because he’s tired. However my question is, he’s 21 now, why is he so tired after 12 games? I doubt there’s many 21 y/o’s in the comp who effectively need to be rested because they’re tired. Poor all round.

I'd assume because he runs himself ragged every week. Was on record pace for ground covered if I remember correctly.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Seedsman and Schoenberg? Really? Is this popular opinion? I thought they had been very good! I must not have been paying attention at all.

Seedsmans disposal has been horrific.

 

[hey shorty]

Seedsmans disposal has been horrific.

Except it hasnt

 

[Bearded Clam]

Seedsmans disposal has been horrific.

in every 1st quarter this year it has.. then weirdly its been good for the rest of the game.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Except it hasnt

You must be watching a different game. Stop getting caught up in his raking 55m goals. His field disposal is terrible.

No, I'm pretty sure I watch him closely.

No, I'm pretty sure I watch him closely.

Glad you're happy with his field kicking. Very sloppy.

KE is 70%

May I suggest going to OPSM ??

 

[Dockzy]

Seedsman is having a great year and Schoenberg is having a great 2nd year despite not getting full midfield minutes

 

[Murray2503]

I don't see the Sholl resting or dropping as a big deal. All players in the squad should be rested or dropped regardless whether they are 30 or a skinny kid in their 2nd year. I personally would have rested him 3weeks ago instead of running him into the ground. He's had no impact the last few weeks so give the kid a rest for a couple of weeks to recharge the batteries. What is strange is playing him as the sub. If you give a player a rest you follow up with it and don't do another Tom Lynch. The club should be rotating a young player for a young player when one needs a rest.

I'm just happy Worrell finally got a game and hope he now holds his spot until the end of the year. I think he has some talent. The Mackay debate shouldn't get caught up with Sholl being rested. Mackay shouldn't even be on our list full stop.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Seedsmans disposal has been horrific.

Not it hasn't!

But he is a high risk reward with his kicking.

 

[RoweyThePainter]

Who is sub?

Worrell and Berry in for Sholl, thought that was almost frighteningly logical?

Its probably Sholl.

Murray and McPherson playing SANFL

 

[conVINCEd]

Hopefully Sholl is medical sub and doesn’t need to come, with the other emergencies getting to play SANFL. Keen for O’Connor & Hately to press their claims with strong performances before they all get a week off.

 

[maxlilly]

When we are getting Berry and Worrell in the side, its a good day
I think we might thump the Saints in Cairns

 

[RoweyThePainter]

Its probably Sholl.

Murray and McPherson playing SANFL

Had a nightmare day today so hadn't checked. At least Sholl is a semi flexible sub.

Ins make far too much sense. Selectors need a rest at the bye.

 

[conVINCEd]

Its probably Sholl.

Murray and McPherson playing SANFL

McPherson is playing in Cairns on Saturday night, he’s in the XXII.

Thump? We don't do such things.

 

[Mutineer]

Sholl looks stuffed so I'm not overly fussed with giving him a break. I don't understand giving one game to Oconnor then dropping him. Isn't this the second time? What happened to "backing the boys in" after a sh*t game? Why does Ronin make way and not perennial failures like Mackay or others with consistently sub par form over the past month. Rowe, McAdam, Seedsman, Shoenberg, McPherson all very lucky. Especially the first two who have been way off the mark for a while now.

Seedsman?
IMO he's been in career best form this season.
Schoenberg has been OK too, kicking been hit and miss but far from lucky to retain his spot.

 

[hey shorty]

McPherson is playing in Cairns on Saturday night, he’s in the XXII.

True that.

Odds on Sholl

 

[Jack is Back]

We have only 13 sub-50 gamers this week, an absolute disgrace.

Interestingly St Kilda have 5 sub-50 gamers and one of these is Paul Hunter. Worst rebuild ever, Rats.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Its probably Sholl.

Murray and McPherson playing SANFL

McPherson has been named in the 22.
