Prediction Changes for Saints

[Brent24]

Not sure I am a Huge Fan of WHE at CHF and Schaz at CHB

Shaz has been our CHB most of the year and we've never really battled to contain key forwards.

We definitely need to hit up leading forwards with the smaller forward line though.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

How Mayne in the Side is Beyond Me

Because hes replaced Aish and done well enough since hes come in...and progressively better.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

How Mayne in the Side is Beyond Me

He wasn't going to be dropped after having 25 disposals and 9 tackles.

I worry about his pace and we all know he's not a long-term prospect, but I think he's been serviceable so far in filling the void left from Aish's absence.

 

[Aussie pie]

No McLarty not happy about that. We saw how we went against the giants when this type of line up played. Sam is deserving of a call up and not even an emergency.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Good changes

 

[Mark W]

Would have preferred a debut from McLarty replacing Mayne, but apart from that, excellent changes. Hope Faz kicks a bag and sticks it up our stupid selectors.

The primary roles of KPF are marks and of course goals. ID love to see how McLarty goes at AFL level as well, but being credited with zero marks in his last VFL game suggests it's not yet his time..

 

[peter moore]

Have a feeling we'll be too short up forward but Carlisle out helps.

And yay Fasolo's in!

Agree!
But maybe my dream will come true.
Langdon into defence releasing HOWE TO GO FORWARD.

 

[peter moore]

We are down yet another tall with Reid and now Moore missing from our best 22. Will be very interesting to see how the side lines up. Not concerned about defence because Langdon Howe and Shaz can all play tall but up front we only have WHE to assist Cox.

Good changes but I would have gone for one more with McLarty in. Given they havent dropped Appleby maybe the plan is to play Scharenberg or Howe forward?

Yes please.

I don't know why that would be your dream, Howe is a poor forward.

 

[bencoop]

Pretty good ins, not the biggest Langdon fan and thought a game in the VFL for him wouldn’t be a bad move, guess bucks wants a bit more experience down back. Hopefully no late changes either. With a small forward line like that here’s hoping no quick bomb kicks into the F50 like last week.

 

[peter moore]

Seems that Carlisle is still showing some effects of concussion. Wonder how they could tell the difference.

Relieved to see the captain back.

Glad for Fas, looking forward to seeing what he can give us.

Crocker has been ok but we need someone to impact the score board.
Show us your colours Fas!

With Wells, Pendles, Varcoe and Sidebottom delivering the pill, we should be able to hit up the small forwards well.

Really hoping he has a good one.

 

[Pacman Carney]

Stoked with the ins. We instantly look a 40% better side.

Let’s hope for no late changes (there’s a Blair lurking there).

I’m tipping Howe might be a late out.

 

[Apex36]

I tend to look at a form line rather than just raw stats, and McLarty has been consistently good all round. Couldn’t care less if he didn’t take a mark last week. He’s a good mark and has been taking them consistently all year. He deserved a call up with Moore and Reid out.

 

[Kirby]

What I like about the changes as it will force us to lower our eyes and look for leading targets. We did that so well against Adelaide but have since lapsed into old bad habits.

The Saints don't have a threatening amount of talls down back with Carlisle out.

 

[whiskeytown]

Agree!

Interesting. Dunn, Howe, Appleby, Shaz, Langdon.... Not room for them all unless Appleby plays as a tag on a small... which he has done before at lower level footy

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Like Fas back in the side, def deserved his chance in this game. Good to see Appleby remain in the side and Langdon back in defence. Of course its great to have the skipper back! The side looks really strong, evrn with no Moore, Elliott and Reid in particular. With the St Kilda outs, they have lost some experience and talent in those outs, we should win this game by 30+ points.

 

[Kirby]

I can tell you all right now Pendles won't be playing this week and probably won't play the Doggies game either. That's a lock.

Hi zunatale here and I'm a w***er

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Hi zunatale here and I'm a w***er

Maybe wait until game day for the I told you so posts....I reckon youre right but you never know until he runs out

Our ability to kill the ball at the top of the square has disappeared since Maynard and Langdon were injured I’m very happy to have him back, intercept marking improves as well

 

[swoop42]

Great to see Fasolo finally back.

Disappointed that McLarty or Sier haven't been given an opportunity.

Howe might still be in some doubt with Mihocek named as an emergency.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I don't know why that would be your dream, Howe is a poor forward.

Howe was a poor Melbourne forward.

If the opportunity arises to try him as a Collingwood forward then I support that move.

 

[Kirby]

I saw him train on the news and I'm pretty comfortable with going early.......ahem.

Howe is gun back, any move of him to the forwardline isn't worth it.
