i dont think he played that well to be honest. sure he got a lot of touches but he is not in the side for that and we've got plenty of defenders to kick the ball around. As a defender he made several errors and i think Max should get a shot.sax wrote:Agree totally! I'd probably also drop Zac, I know people on here are saying he played well today, but I squerm every time the ball goes near him!3rd generation saint wrote:In Gardiner, Ball

Don't get me wrong, I don't want him delisted or traded, but fcuk I'd feel more confident with Max in the side!

But that's probably too many changes to do going into a big final, so hopefully Lenny's ok and we don't need as many.
It looks like tall lumbering Melbourne footballers is not my strong point.

Re: 2 Changes for next Sunday
tough call on Eddy. i think he won the highest % of contested ball for us. I think I'd be inclined to keep him in and maybe let Dempster go for either Ball or Armitage.3rd generation saint wrote:In Gardiner, Ball

If Gardi is right he obviously comes in. I would also like to see Geary get a game he has been in pretty good form as well. As much as i love watching Max i would be concerned on him breaking down again better for him to get another week and come back for the next one. ahhhhhh the riches we have if only we can get back to the form of 8 weeks ago we will be right.

From a low possession count... Contested ball % is a flawed and useless stat when the count is low...redwhite&blackblood wrote:

e.g. 1 possies, 1 contested = 100% contested possessions... wow...

A good chance the team will be unchanged, but Gards would be an auto selection, and Eddy probably could have helped his own cause by slotting a couple of majors yesterday, though RL clearly values the player who can run and put physical pressure on all day. Le'ts forget the sentiment about Max as although we would love him to play, he's just not up to the tempo at the moment.

In Luke,Max, MG Out Eddy, Dempster,Big mac.
Id play Max on Davis & Zac on Anthony.Big call I know but Phil Matera was a very classy small forward & Max owned him everytime he played on him .I know Max is injury prone & he not as young as he once was but imo we can play Zac & Max especially against Collingwood or Geelong.

There is no way max could play on Davis at this stage of his career. Max will only play if they drop Zac and I cannot see it happening.saintly_safes wrote:In Luke,Max, MG Out Eddy, Dempster,Big mac.

Thought has to be put into the pies medium forwards as all are match winners. Didak, Davis, Medhurst and Anthony
Currently we do not have a great small defender/medium/quick defender in the team
Reincarnated sees that Max has to play. He would take Anthony allowing Zac to take the tall they play down there (whoever it may be)
CJ to Davis and Ball to Didak
Blake to Medhurst and hopefully that does not need to be changed

Have to agree carnt see Zac getting dropped but i think you are under estimating Max imoplugger66 wrote:There is no way max could play on Davis at this stage of his career.

Would Max be a possibility for one of the medium/small forwards? Can't see any room for him at the minute but we are at the prickly end of the season and our defence isn't it's usual miserly self of late. Has Medhurst been getting a game or is he still out of favour?Dawson will get Anthony i would think. Fisher will get Cloke. Blake will play on a medium forward.
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

I still think Zac is vulnerable against a quickish medium/small type and Max's (if fit) closing speed on these lead up players is very important.
I wouldnt be making predictions on where Max's current footy is at from watching Zebra games......Max is a big game player......Id love Lyon to give him his chance - make it clear if at any stage hes not up to it hes gone...so go your hardest.
Max would respond Ive no doubt. His spoiling is sorely missed.
