Marshall

[skeptic]

Your opinions, your intitlded to them, let's see what the 'real experts' do when Billy comes back and is fully fit!!!!!

Let's see who they agree with?????

Who are the ‘real experts’?

Gee I wish our club had experts

It’s a good line to put out there in lieu of being able to actually rationalise or justify a view

[kosifantutti]

i recon Marshall is similar type to Hickey but better.. and i think Hickey is decent

it would have been a waste to have both on the list so good trading really..

Hickey went alright on the weekend. Robbo had this to say in tomorrow's herald sun/

"7 TOM HICKEY

Who needs Nic Nat when Hickey plays the kind of football he did on Saturday night?

Coming off a “mare” in Round 1 — he had two disposals against Brisbane — Hickey responded with 18 disposals and 135 SuperCoach points. What he did, and which Nic Nat doesn’t enough, is command the air around the ground. West Coast won the contested-mark count 20-8 and Hickey took five of them. Saints fans may well ask where that form was for five years."

5 contested marks!

Longer zero from five games last year.

It was indeed good trading .... until we used the Hickey pick on Hanneberry. At this point - that's not looking like such good trading.

Yeap, against the worst Ruck Combo in the comp, wow-wee!!!!!

No comment on Hickledik's stinker last week I notice!!!!!

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Marshall is getting talked up as the next big thing. This kid will only get better once he gets 50 games under his belt.

Quite aware of all that, Kosi didn't refer to that though did he?????

Don't think I need to re-read, I was not referring to the either the author of the article or the poster of the article, just the responder who decided to ignore all facts!!!!!

I would have kept Hickey over Longer but that's just me. Hickey had played some stinkers for us.

[Dis Believer]

He is a beauty. He should be in the team every week unless there’s a good reason why not.

But I don’t want him as first ruck. We look too short (imagine us against the Weagles, as just one example). But we seem to be allergic to playing two talls and it drives me nuts.

Marshall is at his best around the ground, especially in the forward half, but also gives massive support on the wing and down back where we can be undersized.

If we would use Marshall like this it could be a great battle between Longer and Pierce for the #1 spot.

Let's not introduce Josh Battle into this debate - it will only muddy the waters further.....!!!

Not at $600k a year, that's my whole point!!!!!

[Viscount Jeremiah]

Problem was Longer has / had no market value

[WellardSaint]

not sure if already mentioned
but 4 ruckman got over 100 AFL Fantasy Points on the weekend.

Gawn, Grundy, Marshall, and Hickey !!!
So Marshall is up there at the moment as one of the best ruckmen
Hickey somehow got over 100, not sure how they worked it out though

[Toy Saint]

Reckon we've traded away some handy rucks.

Marshall & Hickey would be a good combination.

Marshall & McEvoy would be good.

Even Marshall & Rhys Stanley would be very handy.

But Longer is one-dimensional, no value up forward and not around the ground.

Hickey was poor last week.

But if Longer can’t take a contested mark in five games, he doesn’t look like the solution.

Maybe in 6-6-6 land Longer has a role, but my concern is when there’s only 4 players around the ball and one can’t play at all, he’ll be an even bigger liability.

I just hope if he gets a game he can put it down the throat of Ross, Steven, Gresham etc. every time.

[vacuous space]

But if Longer can’t take a contested mark in five games, he doesn’t look like the solution.

Sure, Billy Longer may not have taken a contested mark in five games. He may have only taken five uncontested marks in those five games. He may have averaged 6 possessions and had only 2 more tackles for the season than Rowan Marshall had on Saturday. And, yeah, Billy Longer might have lost the hitouts in every AFL game he played last year. But if you can't see the obvious value Billy Longer provides over Tomothy Hickford, then something something ruck experts. Several exclamation points. Rix Rox Rux.

It’s the blocking... elite level blocking.
Like ‘I’m the oppositions best mid, I’m going to go this way... oh no Billy Longer is standing there. We lost by 12 goals’.

[vacuous space]

It’s the blocking... elite level blocking.

That reminds me of when Ross Lyon complimented Kosi by talking about how great he was at filling space.

Jack Newnes was on the Sunday Footy show and amongst the gifts he received was Rixx eyewear. He's everywhere.

[tony74]

It looked like Marshall injured his ankle during the game and got thru it with a jab. I hope he comes up this week.

Fighting fit

Hickledik will be either dropped or injured by then and who know's Billy might not be playing!!!!!

Not as simple as one contest, cause if that was the case, Billy has already won it several times over at training and wasn't traded out!!!!!

Hickledik was not required at the Saints, thus traded out, game over!!!!!
