Clark & Marshall miss yet Lonie gets a gig...

[saintspremiers]

Fair dinkum I could go spare...

[ausfatcat]

Lonie had a good end to last season deserves the spot...…………. For now

[robbie muir]

If this club thinks it’s going to go anywhere with players like Lonie in the team it is kidding itself.

[WellardSaint]

Lonie tries hard, but Clark is already skilful, talented, hard-working, and has so much more to offer than Lonie.
Lonie's role can be covered by the combo of Kent, Parker, Gresh...so can't imagine why Lonie gets a gig.

Clark can support in the middle, and will perform better than Dunstan anyway

Exactly, and not forgetting Long.

Kent, Parker, Gresham and Long cover anything Lonie brings.

Marshall and Clark out is totally clueless.

Maybe the tank is on!

[SuperDuper]

Can you add Acres to the list please?

madness...

[Yorkeys]

So who do you have to sleep with to get a game, Jack? #metoosaint supporterdoneover. Is there no one capable in the asylum. Clark available and not selected. Explain yourself club - you are nuts? Lonie? better than a pick 8 who has been starring. You are not serious about the Club existing into the future. And a talented 203cm ruck/forward, why we have so many, let him wait his turn. Go Newnesy good effort. We are fools paying memberships to the current mob. Mr Pres; Roo; Warney; others, help!

[Shaggy]

Clark and Marshall not selected and we have 14 man injury list shows we have real depth.

Lonie will kick 50+ goals this year if he continues his form from end of last year.

Clearly Clark's plan is far too cunning, Wellard.

[twirlyhair]

Deserves his spot as shown in preseason. Clark stiff but needs more consistency in his game. He will get there.

Yes, if what we're after is someone who when he gets somewhere near the pill, even lays hands on it, proceeds to go to ground, and get 'wrapped up' by any opponent within the same postcode above 55 kg, then he's our man.

Again, how many first gamers did Girlong play tonight, when they got the prize against last year's beaten grand finalists?

And, we leave Hunter Clark to play...........who exactly?.......in Round 1?

Compounding interest is terrific.

Compounding stupidity isn't.

Righto

[saint6709]

Great for Wilke he gets to debut - but I would have picked Marshall before him - he can go forward back or ruck - who stops 2MP if he gets in a roll ? I know wilke rucked the other day but is listed as 191

I would have had clarke over Lonie or McKenzie I think

[bigcarl]

I’d have found a spot for Clark, though not necessarily at Lonie’s expense.

As for Marshall, he should be a walk-up start for first ruck. Can’t believe he’s been overlooked.

[Spinner]

They all play different positions....

Agree re Clark, but don't think Marshall is a first ruck. He may develop into the role, but although he showed good signs around the ground at the end of last year, generally was well beaten in the ruck contests.

Ran whole pre season with 3 talls, McCartin goes down surely Marshall comes in as can play multi position and allows Bruce to stay forward.

Is Acres injured - obviously not Richos favourite we all know that?

Hopefully have a plan B forward as both JLT games were set up for plan A?

[spert]

This is a master plan by Richo- just be patient

Like spert said, the master planner Richo has seen how slippery conditions get with the dew and humidity of a night game at the G....hang on

[SaintPav]

Still can't help thinking how well Wilke has done and that we may have uncovered a gun, or am I just deluding myself again.

Sarcasm?

[sunsaint]

Are all positive posts ironic?

[degruch]

Can't see an issue with Lonie...did we miss his cracking end to last season and very good JLT?

[bigred]

Guys Lonie just is not good enough to make it at the highest level.

He just isn't.


Change my mind.

[silverhalo]

Both should be definitely playing......not off to a good start here
