Skunk out is great, he needs to get himself right if he's struggling.

Losing Nas is a massive loss, glad to finally see Arie get a game!

[Bruce G McAbee]

Apparently Nas is a family matter.

[Rubyjo]

Can't win now glimmer of hope gone ...at least I can pick brizzo in the tipping ..

[saintbob]

WTF is Crouch and HTF is Ross still in the team???

[cwrcyn]

Half our backline wiped out. Wanganeen-Milera is equally our most important player. Sinclair will have to stay in the back half if we're to have any chance in this game.

If we get within 2 goals, we'll have done well.

[cwrcyn]

Someone posted on Bigfooty that Crouch had re-injured his knee at training

[B.M]

Not great news about Nas, hope everything turns out ok

Surprised about Jones. Obviously didn’t want to go interstate too young.

Crouch is cooked I reckon

Sub
Jones, Sharman, Ross or Wilson
Probably Zak

[The_Dud]

Howard, Membrey and Webster no big loss, Cordy and Sharman are equal or better replacements.

NWM is a huge loss, hopefully Arie is given some licence to use his big leg to set up some attacking plays.

Jones sub IMO

From the read on Sandringham form both Jones and Sharman were deserving of promotion

Both were significant contributors to the recovery to draw the match

The losses of Howard and Wanganeen-Milera will hurt - yes, I am one who does not subscribe to the descriptions of Howard on here I view him as a vital player in our back half including because of his disposal skills

Cordy is the back up for Howard so gets another opportunity because Howard is again injured

My knock on Webster has always been not keeping his feet plus, whilst his left foot disposal looks great it is rarely offensively lethal

The problem really to my mind is that we lack a “small” lockdown defender with only Paton the alternative noting the description of Paton’s game at Sandringham so things to work on

All in all as much as we could do given the absences including that Membrey did not make the most of his recall hence Sharman on VFL impact (and Sharman has some versatility in case of need)

The sub?

To me Ross again (noting the reports that Crouch has a knee issue so we trust he gets over that because he is a required player)

Because Crouch available, Ross out

[Killa]

And all that said, it will be interesting to see who lines up at Sandringham (Keeler particularly because I think he has something apart)

[Banger9798]

What's the story with Nas?

[The Fireman]

good to see Sharman back in but losing Nas is a blow that will hurt us massively

actually I look forward to games to watch him.

[Banger9798]

Weird team this week, all over the place.

[Vortex]

Looking forward to seeing Arie play at the level.

Hopefully Sharman can have one of those ok performances he has every 20 or so matches .

Howard Naz and Jimmie out is significant.

This could get ugly.

[SAINT-LEE]

My cousin claimed thursday morning at 6am he saw Nas at the Avalon airport boarding a smaller plane ( unsure which one or size he didnt say).
I scoffed because of the Brisbane game and why would he fly out of Avalon? But maybe he's right?

[saintbob]

Howard, Membrey and Webster no big loss, Cordy and Sharman are equal or better replacements.

NWM is a huge loss, hopefully Arie is given some licence to use his big leg to set up some attacking plays.

Jones sub IMO

We’ll see tonight, I agree Membrey and Howard are no loss but who’s going to lock down on Cameron?

It’s usually Webster’s job, so who gets it tonight?

[SaintWiki]

Mitch Thorp senior coach for Launceston FC was on Tassy SEN this morning and talking up young Arie. I live over 4000 klms away from Tassy but due to the necessity to dodge Tim Gossage on SEN WA and not having the option of choosing the Melbourne broadcast in that time slot I was lucky enough to pick up Tassy on my App.

[SAINT-LEE]

Im not too fussed about tonight or the season in terms of win vs loss.

Im keen though to see continued player development and RTB game plan emerge clearly and be executed well.

Its not a 1 or 2 season endeavour, it could be 3 or 4 seasons before we are able to contend for top 4 and the Granny.

Im confident many will squeal after Brisbane finds their form off us and flog us within an inch of our lives. I fully expect a 50pt+ beat down. Mainly due to midifeld structures but not all our woes are there.

Still if I see effort and resilience in the face of defeat Ill be pleased (as much as we can in loss).

Go Sainters!

Agree about Arie but Howard missing from the backline is a big loss in the overall circumstances.

[MC Gusto]

We gonna get a pumping me thinks

NAS a massive out and Webster just adds to the HB pain!

You never know - backs to the wall stuff and Bris overly confident following their big win? But I’m clasping! We look underage, under skilled and underbaked!

Howards a big loss, very important player

Jimmy is a massive loss

Our backline is going to be tested.

Need Bonner and Cordy to have a good game.

Then obviously Lyon is a s*** coach, according to you.
