Prediction St.Kilda Best 22

[Dard Ball Get]

I am assuming that’s the same issue why Marshall isn’t in?

Of course

 

[saintmike65]

Yep I can’t see Ross replacing Dougal with Arie under any circumstances tbh

Who’s suggesting this…Arie’s an offensive weapon that needs to be released, not played as a key defender!

Have seen multiple times across the board

Ari’s weapon is that peg. Get him into space and bang its at CHF.

Would love it if Henry got up for round 1.

Think Garcia will make the 23

Points:
1: Caminiti is yet to spend any time at all training with defenders. ( Cordy )
2: Henry is likely to be injured. ( Hall )
3: 2 outsiders ( Travaglia and Wood ) and a mostly outsider ( Byrnes ) along with a debutant ( Hall ) and a backup ruck, means there is no relief at all for Macrae , Windhager and Steele, and none in the backline. ( Stocker, Wood , Garcia , Byrnes ).

 

[SufferingS8INT]

Hoping Our team looks like this by end of the year:

Hastie Wilkie Keeler
Sinclair Barrat NWM

Hill Steele Wilson
Marshall Macrae Philipou

Butler King Henry
Sharman Tauru Higgins

Garcia Windhager Owens Travaglia
Sub: Clark

No Caminiti, Arie?

Keeler been training forward permanently, don’t see him playing defence. Caminiti has started training in defence

Ideally Butler isn’t in the team either - Hall or Said hopefully develop that manic pressure

 

[Saintbloke]

I see Hastie in there somewhere, very composed with the ball, and Byrnes as well- he had a good late part of the season last year and should be better again this season. Interestingly my Geelong clan at the cattery mention Hastie as one their club would have liked on the list over the other young Saints when we talk about lists. Not sure about Ari yet, but if he gets senior games, the rest is up to him.

I still watch Hastie's U18 highlights from time to time.
He has potential to play like Sinclair or Wanganeen-Milera.

 

[bird_man]

I can't see how Hastie fits in unless we have injuries. I think Travalgia would be ahead of him and he's probably on the cusp at the moment.

Hastie and Trav play different positions

 

[bird_man]

Hastie and Trav play different positions

Both are half back flankers.

We may see Travalgia as a midfielder in the future, but hes not going to come in and play midfield at senior level in his first year.

I think if either get a game it's going to be a similar role across half back and up on a wing.

Trav has spent most of the preseason training wing and with the midfield group.

Travaglia was a half back flanker in his draft year

He has trained wing full time ever since arriving at St Kilda. Hastie has trained half back full time

It's the same as saying Nas and Hill play the same position

We see young players train with the midfield all the time and not actually play there. As I said we obviously see him there long term but how many players come in year one and play as a midfielder? It's a rarity and even less likely considering he wasn't even a genuine mid as a junior.

As for half back v wing, its a fairly similar role these days, in fact Hastie spent time on the wing playing senior footy last year.

Wherever they line up they will likely be behind Sinclair and NWM off half back and Hill, Wood and Wilson on the wing so they are likely just going to be picked to plug holes on the flanks and wings.

They are probably both vying for one of the last spots on the bench at the moment. I definitely wouldn't be focusing too much on which group they train with.

They can both be fighting for one of the last spots in the 22 and still play/train different positions.

Throw Arie, Stocker, Hall, Byrnes all in that group then

Think Hastie and Travaglia definitely can fit in the same side but neither are best 22 atm going off training imo

Will need injuries for an opportunity

Sinclair/Nas for Hastie

Wood/Hill/Wilson for Trav
