These even had a name that suited Watters.

Nice

 

[Joffaboy]

Been very sad and boring, team selections since Lyon came back, refreshing to see the return of the selection melts from the surviving few still posting after the Bigfooty deep state purges.

[True Blue Saint]

Ridiculous.

Ross and to a lesser extent Byrnes, are not taking us anywhere.

Hugo is the future. He should've been a definite in after last week. I'd rather get a look at Hotton than Byrnes.

Would've preferred Crouch as an extractor seeing as we are in DIRE need of some support for Steele - and somebody who can actually dish the ball to the outside.

This sucks.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Has Rtb completely lost the plot????

 

[Teflon]

Officially tanking

 

[malevu]

If everyone's fit like has been reported in the press this week, I'd almost back Sandy to beat us if everyone fronts up for Sandy. Will probably be the strongest Sandy team in quite a while.

Thanks in part to some weird changes this week.

 

[Sully111]

What an absolutely sh*thouse year to be a saints supporter

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Don't need all of Paton, Stocker & Webster playing the similar position.
So, Paton out,
Sharman-sub

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

We might get finals this year,
with Sandy.

Agree with the above. Would rather a half fit crouch over a fit Ross . Screaming out for mids especially against Dees and we leave crouch , Clark and Garcia in the twos . I was half looking forward to sun . Now not so much

 

[TheJackal]

Seeing Garcia, Hastie, Phillipou, Arie & even Keeler in the 2s when the team is playing so poorly seems to sending the wrong message. Mattaes should never have been brought back, yo-yoing a kid like him can't be great for someone who is probably down on his confidence for the first time ever. It was sad not seeing him being last out there at training on Wednesday. I'm no doubt reading into it too much, but I hope he doesn't become despondent.

Clark & Crouch need multiple games to ensure their comebacks from injury aren't, yet again, in vain. Even still, I would've rolled the dice on Crouch this week.

I would be surprised if Collard survives the cut. Same probably for Sharman, who I rate higher than most as that medium forward capable of roaming, jumping and kicking a few, especially with Pou out. Jones or Paton surely gone.

Ignoring my ramblings, one thing is certain, this is a very uninspiring team.

 

[The Jack]

They were drunk selecting Collard last week. I’m not sure how to explain this weeks selections.

Reckon the AFL backline would get the AFL side over the line just but the Sandy midfield and fwd line would are probably strong enough to keep it close

 

[kick it lace out]

Ross is piling on the misery for us saints supporters with these selections. I’m already resigned to the fact that we are no hope in this game and therefore will have no emotional investment this week.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

They seem to be doing the same with with Hunter as they did with Billo after return from injury last year. I reckon he’s gawnnnn.

 

[DougalHoward]

I don't see a problem with the selections. Byrnes plays well at the G.

 

[stkilda7894]

To be honest i'm fine with the non Garcia selection. If he can back it up in the VFL, then select him. Don't promote players after one good VFL game. Should've done that with Mattaes.

No Crouch, or even Clark is bewildering given that Collard holds his spot despite Higgins returning. I can only think that for Crouch at least, they're holding him off before a 6 day break into WA.

 

[Saintbloke]

I don't see a problem with the selections. Byrnes plays well at the G.

Same Byrnes that played for Sandy the last two weeks and struggled to make an impact?

 

[Strahany]

Who let the trainee receptionist make the selections this week?

 

[Miha]

Selections are fine, we can’t rush back Clark and Crouch. which assists the tank anyway. All the kids will get a run through at some point.

The Boston and Elwood will bolt to 1 & 2

 

[DougalHoward]

Who would you play over Byrnes?

 

[Saintbloke]

Who would you play over Byrnes?

Garcia- he earned a callup to the seniors last week by showing the effort required, while Byrnes looked like an average VFL player playing against a very weak team in Richmond

They play a different position

 

[Saintbloke]

They play a different position

Rather have a player that gets hands on the ball and tackles, than one who gets less of the ball and puts little pressure on.

At least he shows a bit of heart.
