It seems that Carey is not injured as Speedy, I think it was said- he was rested after half time- because of the injury he received last week- proof comes:
St Kilda had no fresh injuries, but the Roos received a blow when Mick Martyn left the field with a strained hamstring, almost certainly ruling the veteran out of the round one clash against Port Adelaide.
Martyn injured the same hamstring three times last season.
Shannon Grant left the field after receiving a kick on the shin, and Carey was rested in the final term, after coming back from a hip injury. Both are expected to be okay for next week.
Pity Bout Martyn- hopefully Grant is alright for the next game..(otherwise theres Pratt) who will play fullback? Watt isnt great there.. Baird is for CHB- not fullback- McCartney? Experienced- good- but is he good at FB- and would Pagan play him there anyway- I think Pagan might consider leaving McCartney on the forward line- because McCartney is a strong mark- and proved himself with the goals today.. and Baird will prob take CHB position?
So who will take the FB position while Martyn is injured
I reckon the 2 options are McCartney (I see that as an unlikely choice by Pagan- who I reckon will want McCartney to be a forward again) and Crowe- inexperienced I know- but I think he will have to be the one- he will be better for the experience....... we have a match before the rd1 clash dont we? Well play Crowe in that match for a tiny bit more experience before the rd1 clash- and hope for the best I reckon... or put McCartney there.. instead of up forward- as we already have Sav and Carey up forward.. I think the backline could do with some experience- having 2 youngsters in the 2 key positions for the rd1 clash would be smart exactly... a bit risky.. McCartney IMO needs to be down back for that clash- we will be to inexperienced in the key positions otherwise... Archer,King,Blakey (Will he be back for the clash?) are great and have tons of experience- but they arent key position players.. Shannon Motlop will also be alright in the backline- but he also isnt a key position player.. it'll be a hrad choice...........
