Selection error re 6 day break
With so many kids why oh why did Watters make only 1 change?
You gotta mix it up a bit when short breaks are involved.
It's called young player management.

Re: Selection error re 6 day break
Yeah, seems like there wasn't a big emphasis on sports science in the process of selections this week.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!

Missing Wright out of the backline. Need a solid Full Forward to complement Riewoldt. Haven't had one since Kosi was serviceable in 2009 and haven't had a great one since Fraser.

This for the 1st half, 2nd half wouldn't matter if you had Franklin down there cos he'd never get it.Cairnsman wrote:Maister was a wrong selection.

Re: Selection error re 6 day break
didn't make a lot of sense did it
Maister and Wright are hardly interchangeable players... completely changed the structure
Really should have had Dunnel in
Esp as Beau has been off for a month
Also didn't really see the benefit of Sipposs as the sub... can someone explain that 1 to me... if he's got a niggle, rest him and bring in someone that can play a full game

So who should not have played. This thread makes no sense.

Re: Selection error re 6 day break
Siposs should have played at ff tonight instead of Maister. Yet even when he comes on he's used as a half back. The forward line was simply pisspoor when the game was winnable. Very disappointing result tonightFQF wrote:Missing Wright out of the backline. Need a solid Full Forward to complement Riewoldt.

Siposs came on as a forward. Couldnt touch so went back to replace Stanley who was positvily awful tonight.

Re: Selection error re 6 day break
The selection of Maister was structurally correct, hell we need more strength and an alternate tall option in our forward line.
The problem was Beau's exectution was dissapointing. Mostly.
Try Lee next time, or even Kosi

Re: Selection error re 6 day break
The tall option was not the problem, the problem is our tall option is not very good, combine that with him playing on one of the best tall defenders in the competion and you have a world of hurt. Sippa would have also got killed by Rutten because of his physical strength. The other issue is none of our ruckman can play as key forwards, they look so out of place.
This is our biggest Achilles heel, we have no other options. If Stanley goes forward who do we play as a tall defender?

Re: Selection error re 6 day break
My issue is not the mechanics of who should who shouldn't. More so that most clubs chop and change there sides a lot more than we do if their form isn't consistent. Whilst we were travelling okish, with so many kids they tire and can't play out 4 quarters week on week.plugger66 wrote:saintspremiers wrote:With so many kids why oh why did Watters make only 1 change?

So who should not have played. You are just writing words but arent giving us anything else.
