Changes for next week

[#gosaintas]

Ins to come from Membrey, Ray, Savage, Curren, Minch, Lee, Gilbert, Ross, Goddard

Def out Weller
Poss outs Shenton, Hickey, Schneider, Dunston if sore


Tough again - that's a good set of ins playing for Sandy

[St Loxton]

Weller out Ross in
Gilbo could probably do another vfl run. But could be handy on one of the hawks tall fwds.
If Ross comes in does that mean Sinclair goes back to rookie?, if so Sav mat take his spot.
Could Lee handle Roughy?

[SainterK]

Was hickey injured?

[FQF]

No chance Fisher will be back? Hawks forwards might stretch us.

Fisher not back until after the bye.

The Lee just has to come in unless they want to give Goddard a go. We are just too small down back. You would presume Gilbert plays for sandy again.

[stjay]

Yep we can't afford to go in undersized in defence - Lee or Goddard have to get a run.
Hickey's spot looking vulnerable in my view, apart from a poor showing he had tightness which saw him subbed.

[bergholt]

Surely Lee comes in given we're too short at the back. Shenton presumably the odd man out.

Weller's replacement has to be Curren, he's been in the best three of the last four weeks in the VFL and was BOG this week.

Ross would only get a run this week if Dunstan failed to come up, though I wonder if Sinclair is close to a run in the twos given he was sub this week.

No, Saad went back for Seb.

[bigcarl]

You'd think Lee would be some sort of chance. He's reportedly done everything right since being switched to defence and having his first extended injury-free run. Then again it's harder to break into a winning side

[TN25]

Out: Weller, McKenzie (if injured)
In: Ross, Lee/Goddard (if DMac unfit)

Lee/Goddard to come in as we are lacking height in our backline.

Likely defensive matchups:

Delaney vs Roughead
Dempster vs Gunston
Lee/Goddard vs Hale
Geary vs Breust

[SainterK]

Savage?

[#gosaintas]

Savage?

You'd have to think he's back - tough team to get into.

[FQF]

Shenton was pretty good this week, but Savage provides more offensively and they are probably on par defensively. Horses for courses...

Looks like Hugh or Lee have to come in. Hugh might have an advantage with his extra size to play on Hale, but it would be a very tough first assignment.

Left field: Simpkin to cover Gunston? I worry that Dempster doesn't have the closing speed.

I actually think you would put Mc Kenzie out for Savage, he's been fantastic but Shenton gets a a lot more of the ball ATM. Mav will open one spot up and Hickey seemed to hurt a knee. Dustan might not come up too.

[8856brother]

Was hickey injured?

Tony said he had a very sore knee, but not serious. His ongoing issue I'd suggest.

[Milne]

What a great problem we have. Too many AFL standard players and not enough guernseys for all of them

[RW&B]

Was hickey injured?

Tony said he had a very sore knee, but not serious. His ongoing issue I'd suggest.

Richo said ankle in his presser.

The Hun says ankle.

[iceman]

I didn't see much of the game, it did appear Hickey got us out of trouble down the line a few times early. While not taking grands and getting stats. the ability to get the ball to the ground at worst when there's a rushed kick forward can't go underestimated. If injured then yeah, rest him, but if available - Game sinto oyoung ruckmen are invaluable.

[Con Gorozidis]

Interstate win in the AFL and a win over the top side in the VFL.
Must be happy times at the club this week. We must have one of the best injury lists in the comp (touch wood). Kudos again to Bas and the fitness staff.

[plugger66]

Weller Longer out. Hickey to ruck so at least he stops the other ruckman getting best for the opposition. In membery and Curren. probably need a tall down back so maybe Shenton out or McKenzie. That's what I want to happen but I think Longer will still play. Feel for Hickey. Being asked to play a spot that isn't very natural for him.

[Saint wagga]

In: Goddard, Curren, minchi
Out: Mckenzie, Weller, Dunstan (he'd have to be bloody sore, but if they can needle it and numb it silly, might not be an issue)

Sinclair to come in to starting side if Dunstan is out with Minchi as the sub.

Why would Schneider go out?

Why would Schneider go out?

Because like one or others they wont admit wrong. They would rather look like they know nothing about the game than say Schneider has proven them wrong.
