Match Thread Saints v Hawks Round 4 2022

[The Fireman]

Jones and Clarke are the only ones I would have back in that side.

Billings?
Sharman?
A fit Hannebery?

All three are in our best team I think.

Billings definitely, Sharman I like but other than injury who does he displace?

A fit Hannebery, I did have a chuckle at that one

I’m not sure a fit Hannebery would be up to the tempo of modern football. Nothing I’ve seen in the last 3 years tells me he is best 22.

I’m really keen to see Owens get another crack this week alongside NWM & Windy.

Sadly Hannebery unlikely to be an option…Jones and Clark will be great ins, jury out on Billings!

Higgins will be straight back in.


Billings, Jones and Clark all candidates too once match fit.


Likely that someone will always be out due to injury or suspension.


Hill needs to stay Wing/HFF and so hopefully Ratts is not tempted to put him back at HBF.

So if everyone is fit there will be huge competition for the small forward slots.

Butler is playing very good offensive and defensive football this year. Higgins is class, though needs to sort out his accuracy. Hill as high HFF is going push Long out of the forward line.


Wing also will have lots f competition with Dmac, Wood, Billings and Hill. The young Nasiah will probably get pushed out if all are fit. Wood too may get squeezed out, though has been playing good football this year.


Down back Highmore is waiting his opportunity to get back in the 22. If Webster pulls up sore this week it may be him or Long that gets his spot in the back 6 for the Suns game.

Fair enough - But he could be a great mentor for the younger players playing alongside and leading them in the reserves even if doesn't play senior footbal for us again. In a way, that could be more improtant - player development.

yep I should have mentioned higgins....those 3 and that's it.

[B.M]

I thought Wood was very average yesterday.

Windhager, Nasiah show promise

But to suggest they’d keep out Billings, Clark or Jones is ridiculous

[saynta]

Yes, we are a real team. Smashed them like good teams do, despite those 2 soft frees at the end.

5 out of 10 goals from frees FFS.

Guess Mitchell was pretty pissed then.

Glad to see Butler get votes. Thought he might after watching the replay
