Why are we going so tall Pierce, Marshall, Goddard and Austin, the Hawks will run us off our feet.
Surely there has to be a few late changes
Sorry for Freeman but this team selection of the talls is the only thing of interest to me in this match -
Hopefully Carlisle, Austin and Goddard can hold down the 3 tall running defender combination for the next 6-7 years
Pierce and Marshall get another chance to see how they combine as a ruck/ tall forward combo
I haven’t looked at the Hawthorne team but I wouldn’t think that having a ruckman and a tall forward in the team is overkill in terms of tall players

Nathan Freeman was one of the few Saints players who looked like he knew what he was doing once he got the ball - so naturally he would be dropped.
So we know that he will be retained next year - this and next week are rehearsals for next years contracts/trades.

He has not been signed to a new contract yet.
Someone could be getting ready to show how ruthless they are by cutting him from the list.
Don't want him creating any doubt by having two good games to finish the season.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

IF you out mark your opposition you control the ball.
The problem is that, in OUR Forward Line we have Marshall (averaging a goal every second game) as the height then the mid-field (188cm) sized Membrey at CHF.
So in my view, we are going short.
Hence we feel the absence of McCartin, Bruce and Battle - then the option of pushing Marshall and Hickey to the goal square because they can both mark.
I would love to see us "go tall" because that is where our strength is - and, apart from Longer and Goddard for confirmation tomorrow, all our "talls" are mobile - plus they take matching so like for like.
