Saints v Swans - changes and discussion

[SainterK]

Injuries
Gwilt

Possible ins include Wright, Hickey, Ross, Ledger

Schneider would have to be in the side with someone else to sub.

I'd be giving Ben and Roo a rest, but can't see it happening.

Hannebury and Jack are their two driving forces this year, Jones will take one, I'd like to see Wright come in to replace Gears in the backline so he take the other.

Michy and Saunders looked great with their pace and pressure, and should be used to more advantage when we 'slingshot' or whatever the term is.

I can see Hickey coming in given Swans play all of Tippett, Mumford, Pyke and White.

So for mine

In Hickey Wright
Out Gwilt Len (who I think is sore)

[Burkey 1]

I think for the last 3 weeks we should play Rooey at CHB to help out our short defence, we play some strong sides before we finish the season & we want to go into the pre season with a bit of confidence not off 3 smashings, Rooey is struggling to convert anyway so i think it would help us and him if he played as a key tall for the last few games.

We have Tom Lee up there anyway so let the kid see how he goes without Rooey next to him, I think he will step up.

Play Gwilt CHF ( If not reinjured ), wont hurt now & I remeber some of Jimmy's early games as a forward & he did quite well actually.

Just putting it out there ???

Lucky Plugger not around ATM.
Sacrilege in his eyes!

[Trev from the Bush]

There won't be too many changes because the cupboard is looking pretty bare at this end of the season.

Dare I suggest Ledger as a possible inclusion? Ross as well because outright leg speed is not a vital commodity on a small ground like the SCG.

[Bernard Shakey]

Michy and Saunders looked great with their pace and pressure, and should be used to more advantage when we 'slingshot' or whatever the term is.

Who is Michy?

If you're referring to Darren Minchington, he's known as Minch around the club. It's like calling Jack Steven, Stevens, which Leigh Matthews does all the time.

[WellardSaint]

Need someone to stand Tippett. Have no idea about Sandy defenders, but promote someone big and fast to try to negate him.
Swans move very quickly, so I don't care if Ledger kicks poorly, give him a run
to see whether he can rack up 25-30. At least it denird them the ball.

[#gosaintas]

Burkey I agree with you on Roo into the backline. He can't kick a goal anyway at the moment and it should take some pressure from him.

Great idea. I reckon we could kick 5 goals for the game.

Hmmm pretty sure that no=one is calling Ben "Big-boy" round the club.
I read the other day that they called him "Minchy" round the club. Its not like calling Jack "Stevens" because that's his real name.

[matrix]

milne's a chance.....less than 50/50 though....

We seem to kick more than 5 goals a game when he doesn't play, we even win sometimes. He is shot in front of goal, flapping around like a sook. Take the pressure off him and move him back.

[The Fireman]

after the loss to the Skunks they will come out firing...it will be ugly.

Should drop him then if we play better without him. The one thing I know with 100% certainty is he isnt playing back this week or this year and probably never.

[#gosaintas]

Nah, don't drop him. Move him back, take the pressure off him and let him play across half back. Solves a few problems. Gets some height in the backline. Gets him out of the forward line and frees up the rest of the team to attack without getting blasted by our captain.

It isnt happening so be set to get disappointed. I reckon he couldnt give a stuff about pressure. We are on 3 wins so there isnt to much pressure. He was an AA forward just 5 or 6 weeks ago.

Still is an AA CHF !

Doubt it now.

[spert]

No matter what else happens, the game will be won or lost in the midfield, and the way we are going in the midfield, the under-manned backline will again be under continual pressure. As we have no defensive game whatsoever, I expect the Swan smalls and mids to carve us up.. for once this season I would like to see a man-up game across the field, rather than seeing multiple opposition players unchecked in the centre corridor getting easy possessions.

How weird would it be the last couple of weeks is our strongest side for this year with all of Gilbo, Maister, Schneider back in.

Hopefully a good fortnight and bring the form into 2014.

He still will be the AA CHF which is ridiculously good in a side that has managed 3 wins
