VFL Sandy v Richmond @ TBBO 2:15

[Hayes4PM]

Surely Shenton deserves a game for us in the 1's as a forward.

 

[Jade Buddha]

All for rewarding players form but is Shents really a Paddy replacement? Does anyone think he's a real chance of becoming best 22?

I don't really subscribe to having depth players myself, either they are genuine aspirants for best 22 or gone. Shents would, IMO, be a depth player.

Longer no marks and 4 touches...

Maybe not a replacement for Paddy but could be a replacement for Membrey and since Paddy is out, why not have two Membreys instead? He hasn't been tested in this position in the AFL before, worth a try surely? The alternative is to delist him without ever seeing his potential, we could find something worth keeping or even help him find a home post-Saints.

I'd be all for it.

After watching today i think the Saints have picked up a bargain in Coughlan.
Uses his body very well and he will definitely play next year and also Brandon White will be a gun

That doesn't make sense. Impossible to achieve.

What part?

 

[Nutsngum]

Why are the Zebs wearing away/clash kits at their home game?P

Your second paragraph. Difficult to have a list of best 22 players. Good players will leave for more opportunities. But I get your drift.

Home jumpers were still in the wash?

And there's your answer. Last year Billy was a lock for the top ruck, and we were all wondering why we'd bother with Hickey. Things have changed.

I love Skunk, but if Longer, Sinclair, Lonie, etc, could lose their Sports to last year's "list cloggers" in Minch and Wright, then hey, anything is possible. The Panther will be cheap backup at the very least for Skunk... And will certainly mean Tim can't just rest on his laurels.

If the club delist him, that's fine, but I'd keep Shents myself.

Billy's mum had a clogged up washer, and it's been too wet for them to dry on the line this week.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

White & Chips in for Paddy & Wright.

Roo to play more forward, White on the wing.

Like Wrighty but 8 touches?

Some depth in '97, '09 and '10 would have been nice.

Chips to go out the way he came in; as a forward #Chips4Clunk

Minch and Panther are perfect backups in case of injury and form - mature bodies who can play and perform a role....but I guess it depends on how deep the club wants to cut.....

 

[Kilroy]

Jack Sinclair 9 tackles per game the last 2 weeks at Sandy.

The penny has dropped

 

[freebloke]

Won almost all the stats, except goals and scoring accuracy. Richmond also had 3 extra handballs and 1 more hitout.

Rest, they were trounced.

 

[sasaint]

NOK and White looking like great pickups. One year later and they may be very ready for the big time.

 

[gringo2011]

Coghlan in at 6th best is good to see. He has real KPB potential.

Speaking of tall defenders where has Payne gone in the last couple of weeks?
