[Mav3rick]

Ross is genuinely a very funny man

The winning must end at some stage.
The Saints streak to end.
Juggernaut down.
Essendon by 30 points.

Have you seen Essendon's injury list. Us by 3 points

Heath dropped or Marshall rested?

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Pumped for Dodson. SOS will be praying the Marshall/Dodson combo doesn't look great.

Heath dropped or Marshall rested?

Heath dropped, Marshall plays more forward hopefully

Good chance for Dodson to gain some ruck experience against a washed champion veteran (learn some ruck craft) and given the fact we have nothing to lose at this point of the season

Plenty to lose winning games is better then losing & also shows current players we are on the right path, people wanting to lose games for better draft picks that would look good to trying to keep the current players together.

 

[Joffaboy]

Dodziller and Marshall rotating through ruck forward
Pou and Naz through the guts with Steele, Macrae, Garcia and Boxhall.

Lyon's biggest test as coach this week..how to win against a rabble, after being beaten by a rabble earlier in the season.

Ticketmaster

Got two (one adult and one child) level 2 seats for $19 (16 game member upgrade)

Got upgrades to L2 (in our usual reserved seats) for $13 each.

Had to email Saints membership so they could make our barcodes valid for the upgrade though.

Maybe you could get her to run on field?

View attachment 2394639

If she's still around, she's more likely to give a fright now, me thinks.
Think l did get a stiffy back then though.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Ins. Carroll, Dodson, Hastie & Travaglia

Outs. Marshall, Steele, Wilkie &, Windhager



Nas is staying!!!

Are you referring to WC that lost to the top of the ladder team last week by 9 points, or did you have another rabble in mind?

Carlton fc & Essendon fc for mine

 

[kyrgios]

When you think about players who really made the wrong choice switching clubs chasing easy glory, Dylan Shields comes to mind. Probably ahead of Taranto and Hopper.

If Nas leaves us to go to Port, he will be in that group for sure.

 

[AirWinmar]

Did you not see how poorly both Pou and Heath played?

Heath played something like 36 minutes. Was barely given a chance. That made Pou rot at full forward where he couldn't impact

 

[AirWinmar]

Tim English played very early by memory. Maybe not first year. Even Gawn took a few years to really get going.

I remember Samson Ryan for the Tigers debuted against us, May have been his 1st season. I felt sorry for him. 0 disposals and gave away a free

 

[akaifu]

Clark to miss the rest of the season with an LCL tear in his knee

 

[Saintos The ITK]

For the life of me I’ll never understand how Collard keeps getting a game.
No such thing as earning your spot at the Saints.

 

[Moquo]

 

[Sully111]

I like the team named. Glad Trav is getting another game. Shame about Clark.

 

[BrutThough]

First time all our first rounders since the 2021 draft are playing together - Nas, Pou, Wilson, Collard, Trav, Tauru

Also, 8 first and second year players named.

Imagine how many it would be if Ross didn’t refuse to play the kids! lol

I think it's pretty simple horses for courses.

Travaglia slots into Clark's half-back role.

Dodson obviously in Heath's forward-ruck role.

Collard in for Henry's high half forward role.

Probably the sub I would guess too.

 

[BrutThough]

Very similar age profile to Essendon.
