Preview Round 20, 2021: St.Kilda v Carlton - Marvel Stadium, Friday 30th July, 7:50PM AEST

[puppy_dog7]

Hannas only 2 weeks away now

Is Hammil still 2 weeks away as well?

 

[D2D3]

Whaa? Don't you realise that means your leaving that dud Kent in? Paul Hunter has kicked 2 more goals than him this season! What does that say about Kent? Long is a keeper!!!!1

Forgot kent was even in the side tbh. He's the easy out

 

[bergholt]

No I would have both Long and Kent out . Long did nothing on the weekend apart from missing goals

Yeah, I think Long brings some handy things to the forward line, but if he can't kick goals then we should try someone else.

 

[Saint_Dos]

Ig Highmore isn't right to go, definitely leave Clav in

Doubt Billings will be dropped.

Reckon we have seen what Clav offers. He is a really tall, medium defender which we have plenty of.
Bring in Joyce and see if he can play KPD

 

[botts]

Who?

 

[Saint_Dos]

Yeah, I think Long brings some handy things to the forward line, but if he can't kick goals then we should try someone else.

Not sure we have anyone else who is being physical with pressure and getting in the spots for goals.
Line him up against Butler before this week and there wasnt much difference between them imo.
At least he has been getting in spots for a goal, should have had 2-3 goals on weekend.

he keeps missing

 

[Saint_Dos]

he keeps missing

Lonie will give you the 1-2 goals but you will lose the fwd pressure and halving the odd contest in the air.
Sharman I am all for giving a run but no idea what we would get.

Higgins replaces Kent's lead up role quite easily.
Reckon Long gives us the physicality that Battle offers and dont mind keeping him in there for that.

 

[aussierulesrules]

If Longy does keep his spot he wouldn’t want to have another quiet one. Averaged just 9 disposals, 2 tackles and zero goals in the last two weeks, and his overall pressure numbers each week are not high.

Don't want Lonie either

 

[bergholt]

Who?

Higgo will be back soon

 

[Jade Buddha]

That's all well and good and I don't disagree.
Unfortunately, the AFL rewards the bottom 6 with an easier fixture the following year. Finishing 13th this year could net us an extra two wins next year. If we didn't have the worst fixture this year then we'd be sitting in the top 8. Sure I'd love us to beat the best and get there no matter what, but realistically you need every edge possible. The Hawks are having a good old tank this year and will rocket up next year, they know what they're doing.

There’s no guarantee on any of that though. Have a look at Melbourne. Tanking since Paul Keating was PM. Only now are they half decent.
Just win everything you can and get a winning culture. Once the loses start stacking up that becomes the accepted standard.

I thought his pressure numbers would have been alright but you are right they arent great.
I did like how he put a shoulder through NicNat at one point although not sure it made much difference to him

 

[Dr Spaceman]

What's the story with Marshalls isolation? Is he eligible this week.

Yes right to play

And so…

 

[George]

Lol so a win will have us 8th by 11pm Friday night

Does using yourself as a human wrecking ball count as a stat in overall pressure numbers?

is only an "outside chance" to return this week.

The priest in your avatar has blessed us with his holy water.


That holy water of course is Furphy - a refreshing ale that is Geelong born and brewed using 100% Victorian hops & malt. The first sip is clean and crisp, with a subtle balance of fruit and malt to keep it interesting. Furphy - the official beer partner of the St.Kilda Football Club

Apparently Harry McKay isn’t likely to play.

Finally the footy gods smile on us. Sacrifice another goat.

Honestly what Long does isn't a stat but his pressure game compared to Butts looks shitter on paper but if I'm playing on one of them I know who I'm choosing. Pit-bull mauling compared to getting your leg shagged by a Jack Russell. He had a poor game on the weekend but his kind of menacing presence would horrify defenders.

 

[Saint_Dos]

It should!
Byron Pickett's stats would have looked impressive

 

[Diehard Saint]

Blues getting smashed in the media - good timing

He already went to Freo - we don't have another do we?
