Preview St Kilda vs Fremantle Rd 10 2016 4:35 pm Saturday

[Masquerade]

Why does everyone want Eli in so bad? He's shown constantly that he does quite well in the VFL and then struggles in the AFL. Much happier with Sinclair in, who's shown way more at AFL level.

Good on Murdoch. Let's hope he can show that he's really improved in his new role.

Also, called Billings being out This is too easy. Shoulve known 0 injuries was too good to be true

 

[Murraj1966]

Disappointed that Billings had to miss but let's just hope the week off really helps him avoid further damage.

Looking forward to Murdoch getting a chance, I'm really hoping he takes it as his kicking is a weapon

 

[cooperrules]

love the changes.

 

[cartel]

Will Lee ever get in again?

 

[my name was taken]

Hickey should dominate this, had a tough run against quality rucks which earnt him a lot of respect but needs to dominate the lesser ruckman to be considered one of the best in the comp.

I think he is the key to getting near a 100point win. With that forward line matchup, if we get quick ball in we should hit the scoreboard hard. If not then the flood tactics kick in and could keep our score a bit lower.

Should be interesting to see Murdoch and Savage bombing the ball in deep, chance for a couple goals from outside 50 if we lock the ball in, given how freo has struggled to get the ball out past halfback this year

Agree to an extent here, its not a talent issue though, its his body. He currently doesn't handle the toughness of AFL level. Needs a big preseason to put on a few kgs.

 

[DarkSaint]

To be be honest even if Gilbert has another Stinker I don't see the club dropping him for the crows clash. They will trot out the line of flexibility and experience.

 

[Plugger35]

Don't mind those changes, Billings could do with a bit of a rest and Sinclair is a good replacement for him.

Murdoch deserves an opportunity too.

 

[Barrels]

Imagine this lot coming toward you as a leading forward...

Yum .

 

[Cornish]

Chelsea Roffey goal ump better than looking at Zac (the spud) Dawson

 

[DarkSaint]

And as the player advocate Brodie THE BULL Murdoch I couldn't be more happier

 

[sammm]

How are these for matchups though? Our forwards must be salivating

Except Danyle Pearce is injured

 

[Cornish]

Great to see The Bull get a game, hope he hammers it.

 

[Defacto]

Really happy to see Bull get his chance.

He could still definitely make it, just needs to find more of the footy and use his good long peg.

i think we are seeing now why bull is so important. we dont have another good HBF defender with elite foot skills to step in and replace webster, savage, roberton if they go down

i know we have rice and white coming through but both are still very green

the rest we have are terrible by foot

 

[saintsrfreak]

Except Danyle Pearce is injured

That's Alex Pearce mate

 

[sammm]

That's Alex Pearce mate

According to 3aw both out

 

[aussierulesrules]

As I said, I'm always happy to see Bull get a game, but we really could have done with J-Webb this week to play on one of Walters or Ballantyne. Murds probably not quite nimble enough for either of them, which means Joey might need to go to one of them, possibly robbing us of some of his drive if they're playing deep.

 

[saintsrfreak]

According to 3aw both out

You sure they didn't mean Alex and Clancy?

 

[dct66]

According to 3aw both out

Alex & Clancee Out ... Danyle Playing

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Here's hoping both Murdoch and McKenzie can end up with 18+ disposals. Both have great disposal and athletic attributes but just struggle to get involved in the game.

Mckenzie may get the job on one of them.

Newnes listed down back, and DMac can play down there too, plus Gilbert can play small.

We'll be fine.

 

[bird_man]

Happy with the ins, not so much the injuries though.

Good luck to Murdoch, I had written his career off but he's obviously worked his arse off which is great as he has plenty of upside.

 

[Masquerade]

You sure they didn't mean Alex and Clancy?

How many f***king Pearces do they have? Lol I've always thought Clancy and Danyle were the same person. Not my fault, considering they're equally as bad as the other

Like, at least Jack is a common name.

 

[L_W_P]

Considering Newnes has been playing midfield/wing all year and Murdoch off the back flank in the VFL I don't see why they'd swap them.

I dont think they will, just what I would do. I'd prefer Newnes more 'senior' mind in defense while Bull can deliver the ball inside 50. That was a massive problem last week IMO and one he directly addresses.
