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

[The Jack]

Sinclair loss is significant. Disappointing.
Ryder, Crouch?

 

[prophetic1]

No Sinclair is actually huge loss, he’s pretty vital for our ball movement when we’re on. More pressure on Hill or do we try put Leo in that roll and say go for a run kid. I don’t mind Butler utilising his pace to transition forward with someone like Sincs unavailable.

Yes Love SINCLAIR'S work.. as do most of us now...great loss....He always makes me think like he just stepped out of the INXS line up....he could almost be a really athletic super fit FARRIS brother...The fourth FARRIS actually.

 

[prophetic1]

Season defining?

Losing to the crows after being 6 goals up defined our season.

Every match we play now is apparently defining our season......but the big one for me is the CATS...regardless of finals...beating the CATS ..puts us in a perfect mind set for 2022 imo. Perhaps they should say "Each subsequent match is redefining our season" Like its either the definitive or its not is my point. The CATS would be 'special'. Finals just icing! Well maybe I'm just protecting my self there a little.
'Sometimes you Kick sometimes you get Kicked' ... I do miss the one and only Michael HUTCHENCE though.

Almost time to roll out Hannebery Lecter

Almost time to roll out Hannebery Lecter

Well i think i'd just about spontaneously combust....that'd be my dream come true! One of many to come I believe...To reanimate HANNERS would be bigger than Frankenstein. I'd be considering
the Chianti for that one .

 

[George]

It's all George's fault for opening the autopsy at 3 quarter time

******* hell will I ever live this down

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

******* hell will I ever live this down

The only way you redeem yourself is to correctly preemptively post the autopsy in our next grand final

 

[SaintBilly]

Nobody ever needs to apologise for getting opinions wrong.

The thing with football is that an expert is someone who gets things wrong less often than the rest of us.
I actually enjoy getting it wrong about Saints players or opinions I have. I get stuff wrong all the time, so does every single person on here. Oh well, too bad, its only footy.

I’m a football pessimist so I obviously love getting things wrong.

 

[SaintBilly]

Almost time to roll out Hannebery Lecter

I’m not quite dead yet. I feel better.

 

[Plugger35]

Not great news about Sinclair missing this game, we'll miss his run off half back but at least we'll have Hunter Clark

back who can play a similar role.

Hopefully Sinclair's hamstring strain is on the minor side and he only misses a game or two at most.

 

[George]

Out Sinclair
In Hind

Oh wa...

 

[sammm]

******* hell will I ever live this down

i never lived down the injury thread that i opened in January.

 

[The Punter]

Clark has played that role, so bring him in for Sinclair as a like for like.

 

[Klaatu]

Paddy's out managed probably not a bad idea against Carlton will need him against Sydney & Geeelong.

 

[Pardon me]

Tempting fate Sainters...

 

[The_Steadier]

Paddy's out managed

Confirmed?

 

[BrutThough]

Tempting fate Sainters...

If he's still sore from Saturday or there is some doubt about him being able to see out all 4 quarters, it's not temping fate.

 

[Murraj1966]

Can we debut Max Heath instead of wasting a game on Hunter?

 

[sasaint]

That would be very tempting against the Blues.

[lewdogs]

Carlton's ruckman is De Koning. Maybe we just go in with one ruck.

 

[Plugger35]

Carlton's ruckman is De Koning. Maybe we just go in with one ruck.

A bit risky going with Marshall as our only ruckman given his injury issues and lack of preparation going into this game.

Also if Hunter plays he should be able to hold his own with De Koning in the ruck and allow Marshall to play up forward.

Yeah if Ryder is out, Hunter probably has to play again. Considering Marshall's injuries this year, I'd be surprised if we only went with one ruck. De Koning looks pretty impressive too.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Just anyone but hunter

 

[bergholt]

Hunter plays for sure, if Marshall got injured we'd have to put King or Membrey or someone in the ruck, sounds like a bad idea.
