While I believe a mix of rotating Goddard, Gwilt , Monti through the forward line can be effective, we need a genuine key forward down there that can give us a presence. Not sure if Stanley's a better option than McEvoy but we need someone over 6 foot down there.
Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one.
would like to see stanely get a game. Will be an interesting structure until kosi getsback. Even then we do need that second key forward.
Will keep at it but raph as a forward is so worth a go!
Would like to keep jimmy down back

Re: options up forward?
i dont think moving Gwilt is the right thing to do .. he is finally fitting into a definate role and he is gaining confidence in that role so i dont think moving him from that role will benifit the team or Gwilty ...danners wrote:just a few options. anyone think we should bring stanley in for roo next week for the freo game? or try someone like gwilt up forward?
honestly safe option is move gardy and BJ forward next week and bring in Big Mac and King to ruck ... a more risky/experimental option is brin in a Stanley , Lynch or Heyne in for Roo and see how they go .... the compleatly out of this world option is send the not ready Irish man out there .....
from past experiances... RL will prob go with the safe option

I would persist with S, Fisher up front, Gwilts going well, we need Goddard around the ground and he can run forward to rest anyway. Fisher is a strong mark, fast and despite what the stats might say i think he always looks good from set shots. He is still going to be unfit from his time off injured and it is a way to build him up slowly.
Stanley is a riskier proposition as he looked a bit overwhelmed when he was in the NAB final. Good for guys like him or Lynch to get in there and have a go if it does happen. If it wasn't Freo and Dogs coming up the younger guys probably would get a run.

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

No contested possessions, come to think of it no possessions at all, just like Stanley.

'Just about certainly'...but not certainly. I think it'll be more about alternative plays than alternative Roo's.plugger66 wrote:For who?
