Teddles we were not travelling so well last year when we scratched out a draw. GWS fear us.
Fingers crossed of course and true about last year.

Don't have a good feeling about Saturday though. Too much chaos on the injury and selection front at the moment.

Someone had to pay the price.
But not much he could do.
He was monstered by a bigger and more mobile player.

Not happy about Clark in the side. Should be Hind.
Not sure you would have the courage to say that to the coaches face but that's another matter. As for Clark in and not Hind, would they be like for like swaps, or where do you think Hind should play?
Whatever twirlyhead. Hind is versatile and can play half forward flank or backline. Clark was way too soft last time and needs to harden up a lot at AFL level.
Have you ever seen Hind play at half forward? Played every game for Essendon at half back. And you can say what ever you want about Clarkes ability but soft he aint
That be the Essendon VFL side, Nick Hind has never played AFL.
Never been on an AFL list before St Kilda.
Like when we took Milne out from under the Doper's noses and then Long out from under the Dog's noses.

I like the changes.

Other than Steven out, it is a quicker and mobile team all round.

I like that we are putting some faith into development. Something, I feel, has been lacking the last couple of years.

Brown has been great and Longer had one of his better games. In recent years that would have been enough for them to keep their spots.

As much as I have loved winning some games this year, I love seeing the coaches with an eye to the future even more.

Marsh could go to centre half back with Battle going forward.
BUT with Brown replaced by Joyce and Gearing missing it may be too much change in the back line and cause a loss of cohesion.
Besides neither Himmelberg or Cameron are overly tall but are surrounded by talent.

One bad game by N Brown and out on his backside? Very harsh.

He's been our most consistent contest spoiler all year. He hadn't had less double figures in 1%ers all season

I think Tex exposed Browny for pace, and I reckon Cameron would probably do the same this week. Just a case of horses for courses, I reckon.
Other than that, I agree with you he has been very good.

I am disappointed Hind and White keep getting ignored.

Both showing form in VFL but White can't even get named as an emergency.

I'm betting Marsh will play forward most of the time.

I reckon Kent is probably doing what he is in the side for- just need others to stand up.

Brown and Phillips are the travelling emergencies.

Jack Bytel is going along as well for the experience.

Why?

One game is hardly deserving of anything.


PS : I do hope that he plays well today, but I do not believe that on demonstrated form that he deserves to be playing today.

Kent needs to get at least 12 possessions, lay 4 tackles kick 2 goals and keep his defender in check today if he is to hold his place.

I agree. Very lucky to have held his spot after last week's shocker.

Nostradamus 👍

Perhaps suggest he needs to kick 8 this week.
