Round 1 side

[SaintPav]

AFL milking round 1 team announcements so everyone tunes in to Seven tonight.

The game is supposed to be for the fans you greedy money hungry corporate whore fu.ckers with your spreadsheets!!!

[DJ Higgins]

List size...44 players

Injured ....14 players

Available for selection....30 players

Side ...23 players plus 3 emergencies....total 26 players

Balance....4 players for Sandi.


If you can't get a game now or at least be on standby as an emergency...things aren't looking to bright for you at Moorabbin.

( apart from Heath and Peris...two project players)

that puts everything into perspective. Appreciate team isn't final but in saying that
* Stocker in over Paton and Webster? That has SOS all over it. Webster is no frills but will hold most players and Paton had a poor year coming of a horrific injury but should bounce back
* Mids are the best available which is bad news when Byrnes is a starter
* Bradley Hill a CHF. is it too early to call "TANKING"
* Cordy in over Sharman, he will be gone next year and probably be a star for another team
* Ross has said Pou & Caminiti are playing so not sure who the other 2 players will be as all have claims

Sharman will on the bench..we're kidding ourselves if we think two young guys are going to contribute to a winning score against a strong, experienced backline. We really need a big game from our mids, and that includes getting on the scoreboard.

As bad a team squad we have had in awhile

Just missing so many

Yes, could get a hiding.

[Vortex]

I really can’t believe Cordy will be playing

who should be playing instead?

[Otiman]

It looks like the strategy is to use the first 4-5 weeks to figure out if any of the new recruits have bypassed the 2022 listed players.

Cordy and Stocker on notice, they need to perform early.

[Rubyjo]

Desperately want hammer and Sharmen in the same team ..just to see if it can work ..should be 5 goals between them .

Yep

[Moods]

I really can’t believe Cordy will be playing

I’d play new guy Caminetti. No way I’d play Byrnes unless we’re tanking. The kid is a turnover king

[Zed]

Windhager is a lock if fit
Phillipou hit the scoreboard in both practice games so I’d say he is in
Paton can play back and now wing, so I reckon he gets the nod over Webster
It sounded like Caminiti is in according to RTB on FC.
Which would may Bytel the sub. Bytel comes in if Windy doesn’t get up, and perhaps Sharman as the sub.

Personally I would make Caminiti the sub and have Bytel on the bench even if Windy is fit. Caminiti probably has the least match fitness of anyone in the squad and bringing him in the 3rd quarter might prove a handful for a tiring defence.

My guess is Byrnes, like a few others, will continue to get games while there is an injury crisis, he's an outside runner with poor disposal skills and and doesn't win his own ball, can Lyon improve him?

I think Caminiti and Cordy will play, it's looking like Cordy is suffering from reverberations out of the the internet echo chambers, you'd think any astute and rational fan would at least watch him play a game of AFL before turning on him. Puzzling.

It won't surprise me if Sharman plays, we have literally run out of AFL capable players, and by a fair margin, the injury crisis is far more worse than anything Ratts or Richo ever experienced.

It's astounding that fans don't get this and are complaining about selections this week.

[66Iwasthere]

Sharman and Campbell not in main group today but Seb Ross was. Maybe a late change.

[Gershwin]

I’ll be disappointed if Campbell doesn’t play and pissed off if he doesn’t and Marshall gets injured.

[Rubyjo]

Caminiti and Poe both playing according to RTB on twitter.

[older saint]

If Caminiti and Phil in then my guess is Bytel and Windy if fit, if not then Paton(who played wing v Essendon)
Cordy relief ruck
Perhaps Sharman emerg

[meher baba]

Entirely sensible 22 has now been named (you can see it on saints.com.au).

Webster needed to be in and is. Windhager not ready, so Bytel the obvious replacement. Philipou and Caminiti to debut. No Sharman, although he's presumably a shot for being named the emergency (though surely Paton would be a better option).

[SinCitySainter]

I don't really understand Windhager as an emergency either he is fit enough to play and should be in the side or he is not fit and should be left out entirely.

[Templar]

I am tipping that Sharman will be the emergency.

[Ghost Like]

Paton makes the most sense, covers more contingencies. God help us if Marshall goes down (at anytime)!

Bytel named in the centre. Not sure if I am relieved or overjoyed. Great selection by Ross the Boss though.

100%, excited for Bytel to get the opportunity. Fingers crossed this is the beginning of sustained opportunities and form.

[Otiman]

Final teams in, players who missed out: Campbell, Sharman, Windhager, Paton.

[Otiman]

Also will be good to see the huge #4 leading out from the goalsquare.
