Re: Marshall
More to the point v Sydney, if Ross had not dropped a handball fed to him and Battle had not dropped a mark he should have held And the list goes on Across 100 minutes of game time there are many incidents you could highlight but the 2 I have referred to led directly to Sydney walk in goals which we...

With Gresham, Higgins and Butler (plus Peris), why would we entertain playing a "lock-down" forward?
And at whose expense?

Re: Howard
Older Saint is on the money. But, in normal times, the exploitation of the lack of height in the St Kilda defence (Battle 193 cm and 92 kg's and Wilkie 191cm and 88kg's) sees Howard needing to "read" where he has to defend this height deficiency. So dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn...

Compare that to the key forwards around the competition.

Re: Marshall
Marshall competes in ruck contests body to body. Where his real advantage is is his ability to win a contested ball and to then put it on his foot (including at around the ground and boundary throw ins). He also has good marking ability. And he is mobile. So, for a big man, he has some unique footba...

Re: I think we’re at the precipice!
Just to speculate, add Hickey, McCartin and Acres to the structure and class of our List. Hickey allows Marshall to play up forward, taking pressure off King. McCartin, with his Number 1 Draft selection credentials confirmed after just 1 (One) uninterrupted season of AFL football, fixes our defensiv...

Re: Another key forward
My view is that we lack KPP height among our back-line options, not that we have enough "talls". Howard is our only "tall" Wilkie and Battle are flanker/mid-field size at 191cm and 193cm respectively. Hence Joyce being retained and, before that, Frawley being added as cover for 1...

Re: Predictions. St Kilda vs Brsisbane
Huge responsibility on Marshall, Howard and King.
Apart from that trio, we just do not have any height.
Will need to keep the ball on the ground and control it.
Which itself is a big ask.
Brisbane are by far the more experienced side.
