Preview Round 14, 2019: St.Kilda v Brisbane - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 22nd June, 4:35PM AEST

[ScrappyDo]

Has Liquorlands been named before? As an inside-outside mid he'd be ideal in the forward pocket..

 

[The Gong]

Good luck to Hanners. Hope he has a cracking debut for you...then has a mare against us.

 

[D2D3]

Thought Armo was alright last week myself. If he spends most of his time at half back I think we’ve got enough pacy defenders to cover him.

Our midfield is looking a bit one paced except for Gresh but that’s pretty much been the case without Steven.

 

[Premium]

I predict one of Battle or Carlisle will play forward , Marsh or Wilkie will play Full Back.
Our problems is our forward line and they have to do something if we want to win this game.
Hind to slot into the half back flank.

Our problem with our line up is speed and with Armitage , Dunstan , Ross , Hannebery it's not getting any faster.

 

[bird_man]

I really like the look of that back line. Brown has been a solid pick up for us, but I've been looking forward to the day we could look past him. Like the mix of Carlisle, Battle and Marsh.

I think we look a bit slow through the midfield though. I would have liked Paton ahead of Armo.

 

[gringo2011]

Cho would probably play Armo HB on Rayner.

Rayner is s**t this year, Armo wouldn't let him touch it.

 

[bird_man]

Stoked to see Carlisle run around again and Hannebery finally with a debut.

Couple of massive ins, don't mind that Armo is in but would've liked Hind out for Paton.

Anyway, massive game, 7-5 v 6-6 so really is an 8 point game.

I was surprised to read the stats and see Hind o my had the 7 touches. I thought he had a big influence on the game at times.

Battle to McStay, Marsh to Hipwood, Carlisle to do whatever he wants

 

[gringo2011]

Not sure how I feel about Armo still in. Honestly I don’t think we’ll win this. Be a big shock for the lions to lose to Carlton then us.

I have a friend who follows them, he's pretty pessimistic, he reckons the'll unravel when the pressure comes we do. He's convinced they will drop this after leading, he called Carlton winning last week too. They seem to mentally fall at hurdles and kick themselves out of games. Sounds like it might be a competition to see who can kick themselves out of it first.

Sad thing is if there’s one competition we can ace it’s that one

They will most probably put Armitage back , because it would be the only place you could put him to get a touch - just hope his player doesn't kill us.
I'd rather a guy who could take a bounce out of the back flank - the only thing Armo would do fast is knocking off Big Macs at McDonalds.

 

[lewdogs]

Can't really complain about the changes. Perhaps Brown is unlucky, last time we dropped him we missed him... but we obviously want our backline to be dynamic. Hannebery in is fantastic, brings leadership and experience which we are missing. Some say Armo is unlucky, I thought he was important last week and earned his place. Feel bad for White as he was awesome, hope we see him in there again this year.

Huge game. Absolutely massive. Biggest question-mark is how we stop their mids, Neale and Zorko will be very dangerous. No Steele really hurts. Big ask, but we can do it.

Armo might not be quick but he was mentally quick last week, the ball was already moving as soon as he took possession.

It

I reckon the forward line for nearly every side probably takes about 3 contested marks inside 50 a game. It’s a bit of a myth. If we move it slowly which is our plan we need to wait until numbers are close to level and that’s when the smalls should do there job Faster movement suits talls because they are one on one. That’s why they thought the 6 6 6 rule would help but it hasn’t because there are 12 players inside the 50.

s not necessarily about taking the mark as it is about evening up the numbers not allowing free opposition defenders to intercept and better balance

And that has nothing to do with talls but more our set up when we get the ball back.

Except wjen our forward line is to small and can’t contest

Very subjective analysis.

Only happens because the talls can get back as quick as the smalls. We have had 3 talls once and that didn’t help any of the talls

 

[Ricochet]

I think to get the boy's pumped up show them tape of what Brisbane done to riewoldt I fckn hate

 

[Premium]

I want Billings to kill it again and Acres to show why we call him the goat , Hannebery to play well and Carlisle to smash the packs.

I reckon that would help as much as me talking to them

 

[Premium]

Very subjective analysis.

I would love Armitage to really go full out at the center and just hit the tackles hard a long with Dunstan , make Zorko feel pain if he gets a kick.
This is the best way to slow these guys down , If we attack the ball hard we can win this game , give them nothing.

Go watch that footage I bet your talk would be much more animated

I’ve seen it. Don’t care. It’s footy and nothing to do with any single player playing on Saturday
