Team vs Collingwood
Ok it may be a bit early for this, but I've been wallowing a bit in pessimism so thought I might try to be more forward looking to pull myself back into positive mode and have a crack at a team selection against Collingwood.
B: Matt Maguire, Max Hudghton, Jason Gram
HB: Steven Baker, Sam Fisher, Geary
C: Sean Dempster, Luke Ball, Shane Birss
HF: Nick Dal Santo, Brendon Goddard, Robert Harvey
F: Fraser Gehrig, Justin Koschitzke, Stephen Milne
Foll: Michael Gardiner, Lenny Hayes, Leigh Montagna
I/C: Charlie Gardiner, Raphael Clarke , Adam Schneider, David Armitage
Emg:, Jarryd Allen, King, Gwilt/Blake
In: Geary, Hudghton
Out: Riewoldt, X Clarke (injuries)
==============================
Baker on Didak; Geary on Davis; Fisher on Medhurst; Hudghton to Cloke; Goose on Rocca.
In the midfield, Dempster on Pendlebury.
BJ named as CHF but also to rotate through CHB. Raph to be part of midfield/CHF rotations.
Gwilt/Blake to come in if Max/Goose don't make it.
Kosi to 2nd ruck - should match up ok vs Fraser who is not much chop at the ball-ups and at least match him around the ground.
Given the injury to Roo G escapes the axe - if he has another poor game then consider not taking him interstate to Brisbane.

so kingys not going to get up in time for the pies?
damn.
not bad selections there.
id play raph again.....(awaits bombardment)
birss needs to step up along with grammy and goose.
fraiser needs to pull something outta his butt and dominate wakelin
relying on a bloke to kick more than half a dozen who stands around 5 foot is not what id call fun

I'm suggesting that against Collingwood we don't need two specialist rucks as Kosi is good enough vs Fraser - can't remember who pies 2nd ruck is. So I'd have King OR MG as 1st ruck. That then gives us more flexibility to play an extra running player in Geary to try to.....matrixcutter wrote:so kingys not going to get up in time for the pies?
damn.
a/ give us some more options to defend the pies small forward triumvirate of Davis/Didak/Medhurst
b/ give us more options to rotate BJ and Raph Clarke through CHF in the absence of Roo.

So I would play both King and Gardi if avaikalble.
Kosi can then play as a permanent forward.

The Pies do not playa huge forward line and have lots of smaller nimble types.
For this reason I would add Geary.
Up forward given a good game for Casey this weekend I would give Allen another chance to strut his stuff in preference to Gtrain.
Kosi to play FF...with Allen and Charlie as roaming tagets across the HFF line.
In King, Max, Geary, Allen
Out Roo, X and omitted GTrain and one of Raph or Goose .
We have a few injuries though...and a fortnight is a long way off.

Goose is out for a number of weeks and even with the break Max would be doubtful. You could be right about G. I think the way RL was talking G may give it away this week.saintsRrising wrote:The Pies do not playa huge forward line and have lots of nimble types.

Yes..that was the goss I heard on SEN this morning....
However,,,,,,at this stage you would not want him retired permanently as Sept is along way off...and who knows what injuries we may have to whom then.
But at this stage...I think we should have look at Allen in the firsts.

Providing Kosi doesn't get shafted,this is close to how i think they'll line up against the McGuires......
Six debutants for the Saints so far in Season 2024. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

I know people keep pumping up McEvoy... BUT from the ruck contests I have seen him in so far....he is not yet good enough to beat Fraser or Wood.
King is a better ruckman than either Pie ruckman and is good around the ground too....and with next week beinga bye you would think that it should be right as it was nota full blown hammy tear.

Out: Roo, X, Goose, Baker
In: Geary, Allen, Gwilt, King
If Max is ok, clearly he'd be in ahead of Gwilt..If King is not up and about, BigMac to make his debut...
Would not want to see Fiora or Blake come back in... IMO that would be a backward step, and time into the legs of Geary, Allen, McEvoy etc would be far more beneficial..

Using your team as a base, i've made my changes. I agree with Gwilt being in the team, Fiora needs to show some VFL form to warrant selection, and I really do hope he isn't picked.
B: James Gwilt, Max Hudghton, Jason Gram
HB: Brendon Goddard, Sam Fisher, Jarryn Geary
C: Sean Dempster, Luke Ball, Shane Birss
HF: Nick Dal Santo, Jarryd Allen, Robert Harvey
F: Raphael Clarke, Justin Koschitzke, Stephen Milne
Foll: Michael Gardiner, Lenny Hayes, Leigh Montagna
I/C: Charlie Gardiner, Andrew McQualter, Adam Schneider, David Armitage
In: Geary, Hudghton, Gwilt, McQualter
Out: Riewoldt, X Clarke, Baker, Maguire
HOWEVER - All eyes will be on the Casey Scorpions game this week against the Bullants.
