Confirmed. Battle Marsh and Savage In. Tigs Lynch & Broad in

[saintsRrising]

Just on CH7

[saintsRrising]

Tigers;

Lynch & Broad in
Aarts & Chol out

Josh Battle headlines a trio of recalled Saints as Brett Ratten looks to upset the reigning Premiers on Friday night.

The emerging star joins Shane Savage and Jonathon Marsh as the inclusions, after the well-publicised departures of Paddy Ryder and Jake Carlisle – as well as Ben Long's unsuccessful Tribunal appeal – opened the door.

Sounds like the right choice

[saintsRrising]

I would have preferred that the Tiges kept Chol in.

[saintsRrising]

Means our team is quicker and taller than the Tiges.


Hopefully Friday night we all will also get to say better than the Tigers

[saintbob]

I doubt Marsh plays, Webster’s named in the emergencies for the first time all year so I’m betting he is a late inclusion.

Game is tomorrow, so I will go with as selected unless there is a genuine injury.

Plus Marsh will have been picked to play forward. He has only trained with the forwards this year.
With Savage in we do not also need Webster.

[27] Ryan Abbott,
[17] Dylan Roberton,
[40] Nick Hind,
[29] Jimmy Webster

No Marsh was always going to play.

[The_Dud]

A couple of boys have a lot to prove and are potentially playing for a spot in a prelim final team, so hopefully they come out fired up

[saynta]

In hindsight. Abbott, Robertson, Hind and Webster were always going to be the emergencies if not selected in the 22.

I like the changes we've made...would have brought in Hind for Kent to stretch them for pace but really well balanced team overall.
I feel that if we can cover Lynch, we go a long way towards winning this. Richmond's forward line looked pretty ineffective last week (disposal efficiency 29% and more inside 50s than Lions) with Riewoldt looking a shadow of his former self (I know the Riewoldt name is sacred around here but it needed to be said).

I'd start with Howard on Lynch....GO SAINTERS!

[Toy Saint]

Am surprised, and a bit dissapointed, that Luke Dunstan was not named, even as an emergency.

Can anybody confirm if he's fit?

[Peanut Farm]

Marsh is not up to AFL standard, hope he proves me wrong tomorrow. Great my man Savage comes in.

[fugazi]

Marsh named in a back pocket ?

No Robbo?

Interesting

Trade bait I'm afraid.

[saynta]

Yeah, I said that earlier in the year but after watching the earlier game against the tigers again, I have changed my mind.

[fugazi]

Marsh needs to bring aggression.
For a guy his size he has to intimidate

[The_Dud]

Maybe Marsh has been brought in to line Dusty up

I also wrote him off earlier in the year until that Richmond game.....he looks a bit clumsy but he has great pace for a big man and is hard at it - bit of X factor there - not unhappy that we've brought him back in

[sunsaint]

Maybe Marsh has been brought in to line Dusty up

he had better do it early
and he had better make it count

As long as he does it behind the play so he doesn't get rubbed out......isn't that right Lynchy

[sunsaint]

Im in a bit of the same boat on Kent
Was not overly impressed with his effort or level of skill and execution against dogs
Hind would have to play a blinder and thats a big effort for the kid
But he could have been the unknown factor and he most certainly has the speed to worry the tigers defence
Club has selected on experience here tho

a light tap isnt going to do it against Dusty
