Preview Round 3 - Saints v Lions @ Marvel, Saturday 12:35

[SainterinSydney]

The club has to list the injured players.

They don’t really need to ensure the recovery date is accurate.

Last year we had blokes listed as weeks and then they would turn up in full training and VFL.

He injured it on the 30/1. So this is 8 weeks post.

Would be close to recovered - if anything 1-2 weeks of full training maybe needed before VFL

Liam Henry would be a very nice bonus if he can get his body right.

I actually have a feeling we might bring in Keeler instead of Doogs to play down back

Not out of the realm of possibility. The best game I've seen Keeler play was probably against Gold Coast in round 11 last year, playing in defence. Guess it will depend on how fit Dougal is.

Keeler trained as a forward today, Doogs was practising his goal kicking. Maybe they both play forward and Sharman goes back.

 

[Southeastsainter]

Would be a massive out!

Doogs to become the power forward we have been waiting for all these years. Do we dare to dream

I'll be very surprised if it's not Dougal who comes in. He's the most logical match-up for Draper up forward.

 

[tony74]

Not training.

Dislocated shoulder

 

[BrutThough]

Dislocated shoulder

That's probably him done for the year then

 

[SainterinSydney]

Dislocated shoulder

That sucks. Any indication if it requires surgery?

 

[g_TRAIN]

Dislocated shoulder

Surgery then?

 

[Train12]

Dislocated shoulder

Has the sickness through the group now subsided tony74 ?

He was actually kicking pretty straight.

Hope TDK and NAS have career best games.

Footy works in weird and wonderful ways sometimes.

That segment is called "Our Chief Pot Stirrer".

Taste from pot after adding a large pinch of salt.

BTW, I actually heard the Fagan audio for the first time today. It certainly wasn't a throw away line by the Brisbane coach.

 

[BrutThough]

Former president of the Nepo Babies doesnt like club who calls out the inequities.

 

[Now is the time]

I don't think anyone despises him. At least for me, I'm just frustrated to an extent at how indolent he always looks when we all know he is brimming with talent. Wish he would push the limits more often like how a Garcia does

Keeler reminds me of White at Brisbane going back years

All the talent but they took time to settle on where he should play - then he settled in defence

The same will apply to Keeler who I currently assess as a 198cm utility player capable of playing on any line but, at this stage not as KPP (which will most probably come given he is just a dozen games into his career and is still growing into his body)

Has all the skills

 

[akaifu]

Far out

 

[Veer Right]

Not thumbing your comment down, just more the Keeler down back. Would not trust him one bit in defence.

"Thanks for the special comments Nepo baby daddy.

Next up on SEN, Kane Cornes gives us the latest from Tehran, and Dermot Brereton takes us behind the scenes at Nvidia's AI lab, all thanks to Tyrepower"

 

[The Punter]

There's a lesson Cochrane needs to learn, and others around these parts as well.

From The Chief Pot Stirrer TM:

He’s done an absolutely stunning job with the Brisbane Lions. I think when you’ve won back-to-back premierships - and he nearly could have won three in a row - when you’re in that position that gives you a right to make a commentary about your observation of the game and the players in the game and what you think is worthy of note.

Chris Fagan doesn’t need Tony Cochrane to be an apologist for him, but to my mind Chris Fagan was fully entitled to make the comment and to observe that are we now starting to pay too much in some places.

Did I miss something, or was Fagan unable to make his comments? I don't think so, because I certainly heard them.

Yes, Fagan is definitely entitled to his view, and he's more than earned the defence he'll receive from those in the industry due to the success he has enjoyed.

But no one is entitled to be free from legitimate criticism. What Fagan said was controversial and also, quite arguably, not at all based in fact. His right to speak (no one's actually) is not in any way infringed upon by sincere disagreement. By pushing back on Fagan's comments, St Kilda in no way infringed on Fagan's free speech. He is entitled to his view, as St Kilda is equally entitled to theirs.

 

[Now is the time]

So Clark, Henry and LOC all in full training? That is pretty good news.

Agree

I see Clark and Henry as automatic selections - along with Howard

That only leaves us King short of what my full strength 23 would be noting such a line up would be competition competitive (and improve our VFL side as our developing and fringe players drop down

 

[Simple Jack]

The next player who has time to deliver inside 50 and deliberately makes a decision to kick it to the top of the square and sit it on the head of a helpless Jack Higgins as the key target simply must be dropped.

That'll just have to be one player only though. If we drop everyone who does that we won't be able to field 10 players against Port.
