Meaning Pierce, Acres, Minchington, Mckenzie and Delaney will play.
Pierce, Membrey and Bruce will start up forward.
With neither Fisher nor Dempster playing I reckon Richo is forced into playing both Lee and Delaney.
Otherwise we will have a combo of Geary, Savage and Gilbo holding up a key defensive post which won't bode well.
Everiit 194
Cripps often pushes forwarded and while listed as 193 it has been claimed that he has grown.
Walker 190
Sivagni may play who is 191
Gorringe 200 and Phillips are both listed in the 7 man bench and so one may play...so one of them and/or Kruezer likey to spnd time in the forward line.
So we certainly want to have more than one key defender. Gilbo and Robbo both have height but do not tend to play as key defenders.

Gilbert and Robbo simply do not play as key defenders. Full stop.

Re: Team v Blues
Getting whacked in Perth and Adelaide, either the tactics are wrong, or the players won't follow the game plan.magnifisaint wrote:Why did you make this bulls*** up?WellardSaint wrote:If they'd beaten Cats last week, I'd say we had a chance, because they'd still be celebrating.saintspremiers wrote:Backs against the wall.

The tactics work, cos nearly got up against Roos +Hawks.
Jamie Cox said that our guys did NOT follow plan against WCE.
It's on record.e
If they won't listen, it's cos they lost respect for him..
Simple.

Re: Team v Blues
There is a lot of hype about Carlton -they are not that good.
The only scalp they have taken is Geelong who showed little intensity that day.
The other five wins have been against the worst performing teams - Essendon, Fremantle, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Collingwood.
It's only losing Roo and Paddy that makes it harder but we should win at Etihad.

Yes he has grown ,but as I said before Cripps is officially listed in the AFL Record at 195cm , not 193cm.saintsRrising wrote:Casboult 199saintbob wrote:I just had look at the Carlton forward line, and they've only got one big forward in Casboult.saintspremiers wrote:Can't see McKenzie or Murdoch playing.saintbob wrote:Sinclair, Murdoch and Lee will be cut from the starting line up.

Re: Team v Blues
Possibly, but backing margins is a mug's game. Carlton are $1.70 to win, a somewhat astonishing figure that has actually lengthened after team selections. Then again, we are playing at home (alas, so are they).WellardSaint wrote:Carlton beating us by !> 39.5 points is paying $4.50.
Good bet to have money on
With such a disruption, the teams "system" will be not followed.
Its gonna be a train wreck

That's true, but they are playing well together as a team, you have to admit that. It would seem that their coaching panel can take credit for that.longtimesaint wrote:There is a lot of hype about Carlton -they are not that good...

Can't believe Billings was omitted. Ludicrous decision. Hope he absolutely kills it in the VFL.

Re: Team v Blues
Billings out is very disappointing, there has to be a very good reason because he's been far from our worst! Disappointing but these are the moments that will define our continued development as a side, we have to stay the course thru the speed bumps!
Re: Team v Blues
I dont mind the INs for this week trialling Lewis Pierce is a great move. Means we can see if theres any versatility with him going forward and rotating with Hickey throughout the game and certainly will give bruce a much needed rest. Nathan Wright is probably on his last legs at the club (not sure on contract). Been on the list 4 seasons(?) now and i know it has been injury plagues but hasnt really set the world on fire when selected. Delaney i think is on the same path as Lee if they cant make it this season i cant see them signing on next season. In terms of the outs i just dont think Murdoch is up to it. as much as hes blessed with that left foot of his, he cant find the footy, seems to get lost defensively and is a touch too slow. maybe they sign him as a rookie for next season but again 4 seasons or so on the list now. Lastly Billings getting dropped will do him some good. Hes been relatively below expectations this season, i dont really care for the stats theres been a few times where all he has to do is slot a pass on the lead or put away a goal and he hasnt done it. Richo seems to be very good at a do what i ask of you or you'll get dropped to work on it. Based on the injuries we've received for the next month or so it will be good to try out the kids on the list and see what they can offer with the list going forward. who cares about the results lets just see a competitive effort from the boys!
