Team v Eagles

[bigcarl]

Maybe his back issue has flared up again?

I think it is exactly as the club has said. He was omitted after a poor game against Brisbane and hasn’t been able to win his spot back. Rightly or wrongly

Ah the memories

[johnearljames]

Very good ins.

[Teflon]

The part I do not understand is that Butler, Kent, Lonie and Hind are all in. With King, Battle, Membrey and ( for at least part of the game ) Marshall/Ryder up there, it will be very crowded !

I wonder if Hind will play on the wing . Or is Battle playing in defence ? Or both of the above !

One has to imagine that Battle goes back.

Selection has been a mystery for me for a while. My concern is that the all signs point to a bomb it forward to King and let the small feast on the crumbs strategy.

Not one that I’m particularly found of

Rather than mortar bombs into the F50, perhaps we can do it Geelong or Bulldogs style....tumbleweed rollers, scrubby bouncing awkward bouncing balls followed by a charging wave of infantry. Players like Kent and Hind suit that rather than the high lob and crumb the pack. Yeah, I haven't got a clue. Just venting because why is Carlisle not playing. Must be some attitudinal issue..something.

..that or...wait for it...ratten springs a sneaky late change, and in comes Carlisle for a resting .........(_________)

Boy I could get into some trouble commenting on those two things.

Eagles have almost all their preferred midfield out. If we can’t win tomorrow then we are no good. All the talk about the Eagles being no good in Queensland is crap. They’re just decimated with injury. Won’t be as vulnerable again for a long while. We must win

The Eagles have lost to St Kilda before*, and they will again tomorrow.

*Once since 2012

Someone said their 2018 premiership midfield is missing. 6 guys not there- Yeo, Shuey, Masten (he's retired) but look, their replacements might be equal or better. Not like when the Injectors had players banned for jabs

[ace]

McGovern's thumb very dodgy.
I am surprised he is selected.

[spert]

I wonder if Hind is going to be used more as a winger seeing the WCE midfield has a few key players out- they might be a bit slower than us.

I don't think Ratts rates Hind enough to give him a wing, he only had 70% TOG against the Dees and not much has changed since that game. He's playing because there aren't any other options for loosely fit and match conditioned players.

Adam Simpson has virtually said to our club we can have the four points. We should win this easy.

How much are you wagering on the mighty Sainters? Do you go head-to-head or do you normally go the margins, like under 39.5?

Always head to head on the sure things and load up. I won big on the Hawks win. And then there is the speculatives that I roll into from winnings on sure things so I consolidated on the Crows win. Suffice to say I have got decent coin on the Saints to beat the Eagles.

Get on em Scollo.

Get on King @$21 to kick 4. I'm spending $250 to go tonight, so $100 made sense. Winx off a spell by 4 lengths, get on it.

It’s more to do with his partner being very close to giving birth.

Nothing to do with him having the turning circle of the Queen Mary?

Surely we learnt from the Geelong match that style doesn't work against a good defence. In fact, after a little while, it doesn't even work very well against a not so good defence.

Oh, wait.......

But it will be the forward line at fault if we don't get creative and end up playing kick to kick with the Wet Coke defenders. Apparently.

[older saint]

My GUESS is late Change - Coffield out.
Everyone seems to be forgetting Oscar Allen - a 3rd tall who plays forward and swaps with Nat in ruck when he goes forward.
Carlisle or Roberton to come in - I expect Battle to play wing allowing him to push forward or back.

Must dominate on Ball, even allowing for Nat, with what they have out, huge opportunity to lock in a finals spot for first time since 2011

[stevie]

No rain yet here Its overcast but clouds are too high for rain yet. Up to an inch forecast for the next few days but there’s no pattern with it. Predicted to rain at 8 tonight lol

The 15 leg * $5 multi worth $10250, that's exotic.

[saintbob]

If Coffield doesn’t play then Savage comes in.

If Carlisle has back issues again or Ratts thinks he is simply not playing well enough why aren’t Claravino or Austin getting a crack?
