Good team. A little old

 

[PostmanBish]

A Hail Mary is the method we use to enter forward 50

I'll take the 12 hail marys if our forward line can kick 8.4 from them ... would be a good result.

 

[PostmanBish]

Feel a bit sorry for him and a few other players like Parker who will now have to wait for injury as there is no longer any chance for them to impress the selectors.

If I'm Ratten, my message to those who were 'close but no cigar' this week is really simple ... it's a matter of time before the league starts with 3 games in 12 days, and we're going to need everyone ready to go - this is one game, not the long haul.

With all this Battle talk we have forgotten something....Hannerbery actually made it onto the park

Not yet he hasn't

So who do we think will play on Larkey?

Robbo clearly plays his best footy as a running defender but I think Wilkie really struggled when he was caught out one on one last year.

I'd probably start with Robbo

I’m thinking Wilkie still but you would imagine he would get more help this time round with a more experienced back line.

Or is it Glen Coghlan?!?

Wilkie barely lost a 1:1 last year...

 

[Diehard Saint]

I didn’t realise battle was nearly over the hill age wise. Sorry but I don’t see the point of basically having 2 identical players when neither have proven a thing yet. I’m very happy with battle and the coach will realise his ability very quickly if we actually play. Doubt we will play much this year

Besides that, we’ve already got him and will have to pay a king’s ransom ( pun intended) to get Bing - and then where would we play him?
We need to hang onto Battle.

Agree in fact was unbelievable one on one against taller players ....from where I was watching

 

[Premium]

I'd be happy to 'rest' Ryder vs the following teams -

Adelaide
Brisbane
Carlton
Port Adelaide
Sydney
Western Bulldogs


The rest all either have a very good #1 rucks who I would like us to double team, or are middle of the road in the ruck but with enough midfield talent that we should use 2 rucks to try and dominate the advantage.

Good call LWP , we all have to remember the season is not round one , Marshall didn't play round one last year , yet he became the best player we have had in many years.
Battle could well be the same.

 

[saintsmania]

Battle over Kent and this side looks better..we have an inexperienced forward line and have gone smaller compared to Kangas..they have made a late change with Garner out for Durdin..with no rain predicted tomorrow and Howard our only tall defender..we need battle more so than ever to cover Larkey

 

[saint66au]

Im sure there was a stat quoted somewhere that he wasnt outmarked 1 on 1 for the entire season

Think it was Gears but someone said recently they think he’s gone to another lecel

[Fryman]

So it seems with Blake moving on, Battle is going to be the darling of the board now.

Let’s see how much you guys can over-hype him.

 

[tomjoad]

Battle is a very good player that has already proven to be more consistent than Acres. I am not going to over hype him, he will prove the hype for himself. GOAT.
