Changes against the Dockers
Just noticed there's no such thread! Do people think no changes?
Only changes I can see might be Long and Longer! Long - because I think it was a discipline issue, so just depends if it's a one-game issue or worse, and Longer if Marshall's injured. Is he though?

Re: Changes against the Dockers
Maybe Clark in but not sure who goes out. Longer would need a,few games in the twos before he's ready.
Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one.

Re: Changes against the Dockers
Pierce must be a chance, we could be exposed for height in the back half & Marshall / Bruce mauled in the ruck.
They may select Clark if they want more spread on a bigger ground with a faster surface.
If both come in, those that miss would be unlucky but the fact is our list is very even and my suspicion is our best 22 for this round will look completely different by the last six rounds. A work in progress but good on the current 22 making these decisions hard.

Re: Changes against the Dockers
Up for selection based on form: Clark, Long, Pierce, Young
Up for omission based on form: Acres, McKenzie, Savage, Dunstan
No genuine like-for-like changes there except maybe Clark for Dunstan.
I can't see any more than 1 change all up. It's a Sunday game so it will be interesting to see who is selected in the squad.

Nah, can't see Dunstan getting dropped but McKenzie would be on thin ice.

Re: Changes against the Dockers
Assuming Marshall is OK, my guess is no change unless someone is injured.
For consideration:
Possible Ins: Clark, Long, Pierce, Austin, Young
Possible Outs: Marshall (inj), Kent, Mc Kenzie, Savage
I very much doubt Dunstan, Kent or McKenzie would be in the firing line.
Perhaps Savage for Long or Clark?
Perhaps Kent for Pierce if they wanted the extra tall?
I also think Acres will be better for the run and showed enough to retain his spot.

Re: Changes against the Dockers
Throw in Brown. He needs a stint in the 2s to regain his confidence in clunking marks and getting to contests. Plus he needs to work on his chasing and tackling skills. He tends to lope and point. It's like he's running in buckets of treacle.

Re: Changes against the Dockers
Don’t mind going in with two rucks, just to protect an asset such as Marshall and to ensure that our best key forward doesn’t have to ruck. So Pierce or Longer in ... as SECOND ruck, not first.
Would love to see Clark in, but I don’t expect too many changes to a winning side

Re: Changes against the Dockers
i can't believe people here think Savage should be dropped. He would certainly have been in our best last week.

Re: Changes against the Dockers
I’d love to see Clark in but structurally dmac out doesn’t work very well. You’re essentially swapping a defender for a wing / mid
It’s a tricky one as dmac was a low performer in comparison to the rest of the team

Re: Changes against the Dockers
I am wondering if there is a good match up for Brown
Not dropping him on form as he is our key back, but McCarthy is a runner and Hogan would also run off him

Wasn't Dunstan one of our best last year against the Dockers? If that means anything?Joffa Burns wrote: ↑Wed 03 Apr 2019 6:17pm

Last week Freo played McCarthy, Hogan, Taberner, Lobb & Darcy. Brown to Lobb or Taberner.terry smith rules wrote: ↑Wed 03 Apr 2019 7:47pm I am wondering if there is a good match up for Brown

Re: Changes against the Dockers
I think the posters that have suggested Savage out should watch a replay and post the extent of their embarrasment, or hang up their amateur selection boots for good.
I'm going early, this could be Savage's best year based on a small sample size.

Re: Changes against the Dockers
I said last week, either here or on FascistBook (facebook)
that the old Saints would run a team into form, so I was concerned about the Injectors game,
and wondered what this 2019 version of our club would do.
Well, they proved different and want to create their own history.
Therefore, I'm hoping our Wilkie-inspired backline can keep Hogan down
and keep Cam McArthy in check as well.
One week at a time, folks, one week at a time.
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤![🤍](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f90d.svg)
and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

No unforced changes for me, and especially no to dropping Dunstan, Acres or Savage

Re: Changes against the Dockers
Savage was good last week, the new formation suits he's style of game!!!!!
Doesn't surprise me some want him dropped, some still see him as a whipping boy (old habits die hard for some), others simply are showing a lack of footy nous, not unusual for some on here!!!!!
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Stick with the Sav at the moment, personally I wouldn't be making too many changes if any for this week!!!!!
'Cause StoneCold Said So'!!!!!
We will be great again once Billy is back playing!!!!!
