So Goddard will be giving away a few cheap frees? (given he's not an out for us, he must be playing for the Saints too).

Given you went with Zaharkis, I won't get upset about Kozschitzke.

Goddard didnt play last time we met i think he was suspended? I do check these things thoroughly.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

the suspension?

Yep Suspended. Was the 1st of his 2 week suspension.

 

[hayes]

Like the look of the team, hopefully it stays like that. Much more balanced side. Siposs sub?

And 17 km's from Wright last week is just out of this world. Ray was saying a few weeks ago he usually clocks up around 15 to put it in perspective.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Wonder who'll play Second Ruck? Stanley in the side yes but surely we would want to keep him back on Bellchambers/Hille all game need his height to stay back on which ever one of them are resting in the forward line.

 

[hayes]

There's some individual highlights of Seb, Simpkin and TDL on the saints site. On my iPhone so not going to bother even trying to link them.

Beau could be used there sparingly but it looks like Big Boy is gonna be playing a lot of game time

 

[hayes]

Fisher to Hurley.
Simpkin to Crameri.
Stanley to Hille.

Beautiful.

Dal is going to get tagged by Hocking so all the mids will need to lift in a big way.

 

[Plugger35]

Happy with those changes, good to see them stick with Wright and Lee too.

McEvoy will have to do most of the ruck work again, hopefully he doesn't cop any injuries or we could be in trouble.

 

[eth-dog]

If McEvoy gets injured you'd send Maister back and throw Stanley in the ruck I'd assume

 

[saintsrfreak]

I'd rather throw Maister in the ruck, he's an atrocious defender.

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah probably but that would really screw up our structure.

 

[hayes]

If McEvoy gets injured you'd send Maister back and throw Stanley in the ruck I'd assume

Under no circumstances will Maister play back. He's awful back there, I'd assume Stanley would go into the ruck with maybe Roberton having to play a bit taller. Or maybe Lee has a go in defense.

 

[aussierulesrules]

St Kilda INS: Lee, Milera, Stanley, Wright, Roberton
St Kilda OUTS: Gram, Dempster, Schneider, Kozschitzke, Gwilt

On face value the "ins" don't look as good as the "outs", because they're all a lot less experienced, but on current form Stanley is probs an upgrade on Kosi, Roberton is probs going better at this stage than Gwilt was last year, Wright on last weeks form is not much of a downgrade on Gram, if at all and there probably isn't a lot between Milera now and Schneider of last year, so the only one that has a big difference at this stage is Lee in for Dempster.

Their "ins" definitely look better than their "outs" though, with Goddard, Crameri, Bellchambers and Zaharakis all in their starting 18 and only Fletcher and Ryder out of their best 18.

 

[maverick eoe]

fisher starting on the wing new game plan?

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Some reason i feel Tom Hickey will come in.. Scotty loves a late change or two...

Yep, he's looking pretty ominous there in the emergencies list.

 

[Sheeza69]

Channel 2 right now has accused the Demons now of drug allegations, just like the Bombers..!

 

[maverick eoe]

for some reason i feel like we'll have a good game tomorrow.
the depth is having an impact already IMO.
