In what universe are Hunter Clark and Rowan Marshall not in the best 22?
Are they injured?
I'm really not surprised at this idiocy.
But, by golly, I'm freakin' angry!

4 years and Richo hasn’t been able to figure out something that SS has been all over since the start.
Disappointed with no Marshall and Clarke
I'm 'disappointed' light years beyond Kevin Kline in 'A Fish Called Wanda'.
And, Kev was very, very..............very disappointed when that safe was opened.

Re: Saints team for round one
It's the right one if you're tanking.
ST KILDA concedes it didn't know the full extent of prized recruit Dan Hannebery's struggles with his body when it traded for him.

Re: Saints team for round one
In the first round of a brand new year, is it too much to ask for cooler heads and a wait and see approach?
Seriously, let's see how the team goes before cracking the sads. Yeah it's not full strength but let's at least see what the 2019 Saints plan is before completely writing the whole club off for "mistakes"

Re: Saints team for round one
What happens if the players selected play well and get the job done? Where do I direct all my hate and outrage then?
I'm led to believe the boys are very confident.

Re: Saints team for round one
Certainly seems odd given the preseason hype that Clark misses. Perhaps there is an injury niggle?
We can only assume player are picked on training firm and those who have performed have been rewarded.
Looks like Wilke will pinch hit down back and perhaps ruck. Seems the coaches will retain the one ruck strategy.
In regard to Lonie verses Marshall & Clark Is suggest the comparison inaccurate as they are different style of players.

Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

Re: Saints team for round one
To answer the question openly - I felt that piece of humorous banter accurately hinged on your published assertion that the Roberton and McCartin health concerns were a storm in a tea cup. Was that not your stated opinion? Posters are allowed to argue the contrary or point out where your opinion is wrong in their opinion without it being baiting or a breach of the rules. Otherwise the rule should read that posters are just not allowed to have a contrary opinion or point out others errors. Now that would be a silly rule. Thanks for asking.Scollop wrote: ↑Sat 23 Mar 2019 12:47pmHis posts are witty and entertaining.

Re: Saints team for round one
Hey, I hope they do, I imagine everyone here does.
But, we are also worried that they are making the same mistakes they have made over the last few seasons.
I went to the Nth Melbourne JLT match and Pierce going down hurt us and we had no back up.
Yes we won, but we lost some momentum when he went down.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Re: Saints team for round one
I think we will lose the ruck contest but win the ground clearances. Expecting some dramatic improvement in a couple of midfielders this year.Bruce G McAbee wrote: ↑Sat 23 Mar 2019 2:08pmHey, I hope they do, I imagine everyone here does.

The 2nd quarter was the best I had seen for a while.
Of course we had Paddy and Robbo who both contributed to the win.
I am hoping for 6-8 wins this year and a better and more effective style of game.

No Clark and Marshal makes no sense to me at all. How does Dunstan get picked and Clark doesn't. Richo starting early with strange selections.

Both are future stars. Both proved themselves pre-season.
Marshall over wilke is a serious lack of strategic planning. Pierce gets injured and game is over for us and Bruce has to risk injury. And no real back up plan to combat 2 metre Peter down back.
