Preview 2022 Rd 16 Carlton vs St Kilda Friday July 1 7:50PM @ Marvel Stadium

[azlou]

Newnes can play as 7th defender or he comes out for stocker...
We can't break up the forward pressure that Honey, Durdin and Motlop brought...

Don't think they will risk anyone else ala Owies, Weitering

I loved Motlops game his tackling was awesome he anticipates the play so well he pressures a disposal doesn’t over commit and is straight to the next tackle.
I think it was against Lobbe didn’t tackle him ran around him to make sure he didn’t get in his back or tackle him if he had disposed of it then locked the ball in.
A lot of the time with the lightning handballs it’s not tackling the ball player but anticipating the chain he’s balanced in traffic and has time to choose best option.
He isn’t super quick but his footy brain more than makes up for it.
He’s very tidy by hand or foot he’s just a really nice natural footballer to watch
Those three you mentioned spooked Freo they started rushing there kicks from the backline in the second half and turned it over
Don’t think between them they kicked a lot of goals but they created plenty

 

[azlou]

We have recruited some very good kicks of the footy the way we moved the football was very impressive.There is a real trust in the team find space youre teammate will find you credit to the coaching team for creating that space too

[Bryce Bubbles]

Came to say one thing and seems a few are already mentioning it.
I just want us to get that killer edge and put a few teams away. Early lead, put the foot down and extend, then maintain a 60+ point gap with them never looking a chance.
Now is as good a time as any, but will happily just take any kind of wins at the moment until at least Cerra, Pitto and Weiters are back.

Just take the win I say.

 

[Arr0w]

Saints won't be as bad as what they dished up against the Swans, but if we play anywhere near, to what we did to the Dockers, we will smash em

Gee now your putting me under the pump

And the way in which he (correctly) ghosted Walshy!

 

[DangerousD]

Just a question, and not sure which thread it belongs in, but who makes way when Pittonet returns?

one of Honey, Durdin, Motlop, Newnes, Cottrell, I’d say, I don’t see us dropping any midfield players.

Its quite tough actually putting names to go out with the return of Weits, Pitt, Gov/Marchbank, Williams.

 

[DangerousD]

G'day guys, just a quick question for mine - any reason why tickets for GA are so expensive? Have they not released all of them yet?

$48 tickets for level 3 that's taking the mickey x

About $20 cheaper than what I paid to watch us at Optus stadium

 

[Hands On]

And the way in which he (correctly) ghosted Walshy!

gold it was like a F35 fighter buzzing a jumbo jet.

Possibly would look something like this when they are all back...
But it's so hard to pick, some good players that have played some big roles miss out...

[GordonBlue]

Just a win and no injuries. I don't care about putting foot down, I don't care abput percentage. Just be humble and do not underestimate this mob. They are a really good side when it clicks and they only need a sniff to click

 

[Beyond Blue]

Nobody saying Martin in? Was only a minor calf I believe . He is silk and better overhead than our amigos. I know he frustrates and goes missing but his best is very, very good.
Gotta be best 22 and surely can be played in role other than half forward. He is one we need to get fired up for September IMO.

Boyds injury will force him to go this week and Owies may still not be 100% .

For mine Cerra and Martin in for Boyd and Motlop ( but geez he is he is so clean and gonna be a ripper when fully ready).

Doubt Weiters this week.

I reckon Martin would have been dropped after his effort against Richmond but for the calf injury so he can earn his spot back IMO.

I’m all for stability after a good win where pretty much everyone contributed so I’d be keeping changes to the bare minimum.

I doubt Weiters (or Owies) will be right to play so I’d just keep it to replacing Boyd with Cerra even if it’s not like for like.

 

[Beyond Blue]

He might be asking for it, doesn’t mean he will get it.

Who else is interested aside from us and St Kilda? Hope st kilda are distracted going for de goey.

Hawthorn

 

[marcmurphy3]

I'd be surprised if Owies isn't right to play. He had calf tightness not a strain. That would rarely keep a player out for 2 weeks

 

[F_therest]

Kemp on Membrey? Young on King. So confident in Young at the moment. He just needs a reliable partner now!!

Probably. Would mean Plowman on Ryder/Marshall though which is yuck.

 

[Justnetime]

There's also the fact that Amon is after a contract which is significantly larger than George Hewett's.
How's that for some perspective?

If Amon wants too much then we ignore him as an option. Our due diligence is to engage and find out. No one here is saying sign him on big money. We offer a flag option going forward and a role in the space he wants. Why is it worth a chat with him …because some of the other clubs are down the bottom and can’t offer what we can.

I find your post and others posts mischievous or limited on the subject. But after a good win, the post appeals to the masses. Example, when we lose a game and cotters and lob are down on form, the response to your post will be the opposite.

Edit, removed a dumb comment.

 

[katmanblue]

Except that core is now
Weitering
Young
Docherty
Saad
Newman
Plowman
Stocker
Boyd
Williams
Marchbank
McGovern
Kemp
and let’s add McDonald when fit.

Plow is not “old”, but is unlikely to have much upside on what we have seen. If fit Marchbank is a star, Kemp with a bit of confidence and continuity will be a star, reluctantly I will concede McGovern when fit and firing is a star and kept Plow out at the start of the season.

Potentially a fit McDonald allows one of Weitering or Young to play a more expansive interceptor role. So many options, and just with the talls in this discussion.

Pitto has plenty if upside

Yeah cause Plowman is awesome lol

Inflation.

This is a Saints members replacement game for the one they play in Qld. Demand might exceed supply. Or some seats might not have been released yet.

 

[RAPPA]

Ryder coming back will allow them to rotate him and Marshall up forward, with King and Membrey also down there which will stretch our backline far greater than against Freo. As always, the midfield battle will be critical. Cerra coming back will be a boost. Saints will come out firing. If they don't, I'd be extremely disappointed if I was a Saints supporter and seriously questioning the outlook.

 

[Benaly28]

So the players we have left that are fit to play are:

Stocker
Dow
Hayes
Setterfield
Martin
Cerra
Owies (?)

The barrel is nearly bare.
