Dempster, Paddy to miss. Roo 50/50

[bigcarl]

Roo won't play. Don't think Motley will either.

Who's Motley?

This, unfortunately, is a great opportunity to see what the side could be like when the more experienced players are no longer there.

With both Fisher and Dempster out of the back line it brings opportunity to see what a future backline would look like without those two (albeit also without Goddard). The only talls we have at Sandy are Lee, Delaney and the rookie Coughlan. Delaney is a bit slow and probably could only play on the gorillas like Close or maybe Hawkins. Robertson might be tall but he plays small. I reckon we need to have a good look at Lee and also promote Coughlan to see how far away (or close) he is. If we upgrade Coughlan we still have a midway upgrade option as well.

What's happened to Brenton Payne?

Described Lee and Delany as "pretty similar players", so suspect only one will come in.

While they can both play as key defenders I would say they are chalk and cheese.

Lee excellent kick and good offensively and handy intercept mark pulling down good numbers of marks. Coaches reoprtedly concerned about defensive aspects of his game.

Delaney is basically the polar opposite. Good defenseively, but witha poor offensive game.

With Fisher, Dempster and Goddard all injured there would even bea case to say play Delaney at FB and Lee at CHB. If I had to go for one it would be Lee.

While this week they will not play a giant forward line, it is not tiny either:

Everitt: 194
Walker: 190
Casboult: 199

Cripps who will push forward is 193

Gilbert 194 and Robbo 194 do not play key defender games despite their height. Gilbert who started the year well has also been quite poor the last 4 weeks and in this period he has played asa defender in the main.



Coughlan at 195 could be a smokie to be promoted. He is however at present lightly built. So you would expect him to be more of a flanker than key defender in the seniors at present.

Cripps is listed at 195cm. I saw an interviw where he said he was now 196cm and still growing.

No idea.

We need an ITK to explain what the other ITKs mean.

And only people in the know, know what ITK means.

Uh huh

[st.rick]

Motley would be Tommy Lee

If true he must have his passport stamped i guess

[saintsRrising]

Ah...Mötley Crüe

and yes if he does not play this week after having been an emergency last week and with all that tall timber out then he must be well and truly on the outer.

[MC Gusto]

That would be pretty devastating for lee if he's not selected this week

[Bernard Shakey]

Tommy Lee is Tetley to the players!

If it was me then
Casbolt= Delaney
Walker = lee
Everett = Roberton / Gilbert

To give our backs any chance we must win the midfield battle

[saintspremiers]

It's official. No Roo.

But for some reason Rupert isn't an out yet. Surely he has to be dropped even though there are 4 out injured?

[kosifantutti]

Roo won't play. Don't think Motley will either.

So who was Motley if it's not Tom Lee.

Doesn't matter. There's no Motley in the team so Tony must be right
