Will be interesting if they have all of Curnow, McKay & Slivagni - first time in a while that they’d field a functioning forward line.

They reckon the HS and Fox Sports are saying it’s a happening thing.

We're in the crappiest position on the ladder. We probably have to win all to make finals, or lose all to make bottom 6.
We won't do either, and we'll end up without finals, worse draft picks, and tougher fixture next year... ugh.

The only thing to get from the rest of the season is playing the kids and belting Carlton, the latter is non-negotiable any season.

Yep, could see this coming for the last month, not ideal

 

[AirWinmar]

Gotta wonder if Sincs will get up. Clearly did something to his hammy when kicking that goal late and was apparently visibly limping after the game.

Hope Ryder is OK too, he was getting some work done on his calf and had a compression bandage on it in the 2nd half

He definitely looks like he could do with a break, as Lew alluded to earlier.

Getting wins and confidence into all our under 25s is important, best to focus on that rather than the ladder I think. Keep the King, Byrnes, Connelly momentum going. It wouldn't be great for development to finish below crap sides like Carton.

If we win the next couple, start thinking about the ladder again!

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Who comes out? I want to keep Leo in the side

Won’t happen and is controversial as hell but Billings could be out. His role as a winger/half forward is easily covered by Byrnes, Steele playing forward more, Brad Hill coming up from the half back line, DMAC, Connolly, Higgins, Butler playing higher like he did last match, Jones playing more outside, Ross continuing to be a winger.

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.

 

[Mowman]

Long

 

[Saintbloke]

We need goal kickers, so Higgins if fit will take Long's spot, DMac in for Leo who has shown a bit but not enough yet. Marshall in for Hunter.

 

[St Plugger]

Long

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

 

[lewdogs]

I think Highmore would be a certain selection of he's fit.

The other one to keep an eye on is Sincs, definitely seemed to be holding his hammy.

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

 

[Sully111]

Agreed

for me...

Hunter Clavarino Long Kent out

Marshall Highmore McKenzie Higgins in

 

[ScrappyDo]

I'm genuinely torn coz l want the good draft pick but we must smash these kents at any price. Next day the whole squad can go for surgery or get the covid and we can go to sleep till next year.
Saints by 100, King with 10, Kent dropped.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Agreed

for me...

Hunter Clavarino Long Kent out

Marshall Highmore McKenzie Higgins in

Highmore's broken hand dislikes this post, and Claverino needs the run.

Hunter, Kent, Billings
3 that won't be at Stkilda in 2022

Marshall, Snaggs, Dmac

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

Doubt Billings will be dropped.

 

[EconomicDecline]

Blues just lost to North.
Saints by eleventy hundred points.

Guess who West Coast lost to two weeks ago.

Think Ratten said Highmore was a good chance to be right for this week.

 

[SaintBilly]

Is the game actually being moved? Is it official? Haven’t heard anything yet.

 

[jwikked]

we really love the "must win" game don't we

On a Friday Night. Against a team we should beat easily. All signs point to a loss against Carlton.

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

Start the surgeries, rest anyone less than 100%

2022 is now the goal.

Part of me wants Marshall, Steele, King etc to just not play the last 4 games to avoid an ACL or something equally crushing.

Hannas only 2 weeks away now

 

[luca77]

Hannas only 2 weeks away now

Right for finals then! Perfect!
