Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
I thought Dunstan was due for a rest - he's been at the coalface since the preseason comp. Richo seems reluctant to change winning teams so this was a good time. Great reward for effort from Simpkin, Weller and Longer. And we get to see Blake strut his stuff - exciting times.

They're saying Dunstan has concussion. Great for Weller & Acres, first games for Saints.

Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
A bit disappointed with Bruce dropped and Dunstan and Hickey injured but very happy with a few inclusions, especially Blake!

Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
Agree, last week Bruce had 100% disposal efficiency, thought he was far from their worst. Could understand if it was for Fisher.....Old Mate wrote:A bit disappointed with Bruce dropped and Dunstan and Hickey injured but very happy with a few inclusions, especially Blake!

Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
Contratulation to Blake. Really looking forward to see how he goes.
Really glad to see Simpkin in also. I think this bloke is what we need. He has shown some hardness and aggression at times in the past and so I really hope he is committed the new mantra set by the coach.

Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
Yeah, I'm surprised about Bruce as well, I thought he was doing all the right things. Always hard to track the one-on-ones as a supporter though - maybe he's been beaten too often.
Excited to see Acres but it doesn't look like the best game for a debut. Wet day, big ground, playing the premier. Hopefully he does enough to get a good few weeks in the side. Should be a game that suits Weller though.

Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
What did or didn't Josh Bruce do?
I thought he played well enough in a back line that copped it a bit due to being beaten around the ground.
Thoughts?

Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
I used to think Simpkin was a valuable defender, but has he not been picked this year due to niggling injuries,
or is it because the new guys in Bruce & Delaney were doing a better job than he could have done?
Sometimes in the past, Simpkin seemed to be serviceable without being outstanding or a game-saving player
This is just IMHO so don't go bagging me for having an opinion.

Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
Simpkin is a short 191cm, Bruce is 196cm. I think that's probably the point of difference there. No doubt in my mind Simpkin is a better pure footballer at this point but he just isn't quite big enough for AFL.WellardSaint wrote:I used to think Simpkin was a valuable defender, but has he not been picked this year due to niggling injuries,

Re: Round 7 Team v Hawthorn
Pity Hickey is out with a foot injury....would have liked to have seen him and Macca go head to head!!
Stoked with Acres being included.......first up against the Hawks a pretty big assignment for a first gamer, hope the kid plays well.
