Ross, Membrey in. Clark, Byrnes and Caminiti out.

[Rubyjo]

Glad we stuck with Cooper..a work in progress , one bad game doesn't mean he should be dropped .

[The_Dud]

Sharman > Caminiti

[bigcarl]

Caminiti will be back. He’s 19 and not the first young player to be dropped. Big guys can often take a bit longer to develop.

Good luck to Sharman. Let’s hope he starts holding a few of those marks he’s been flying for and makes it count on the scoreboard.

[shanegrambeau]

Selections for these games always trigger my little parrot to start muttering about corruption, and certain players being selected to meet triggers in their contracts.

I tell him (name Is conspiracy) to shut up cos RTB is the boss now

[WellardSaint]

Sharman > Caminiti

Membrey's career in twilight.
He's 29 y.o. and he'll drop off in 2-3 yrs.
Fitness, ability to recover during the week. He'll get less TOG

That's when Hammer and Cooper will keep him out.
Until then, Hammer and Cooper might be Subs or on the bench.

[bobmurray]

Glad that Caminiti is playing at Sandy. All he's been doing is getting pushed aside.

He won't be playing for Sandy this weekend, Sandy have another Bye.

[saintbob]

WTAF, Paton added to the squad surely Lyon has seen enough of him

Really? It sounds like you think he was on Breust. I prefer my defenders to be able to defend.

I prefer my defenders to be able to think for themselves, not freeze under pressure and actually use the ball. He’s NFG and he won’t be at the club next year, where as the bloke who played on Breust will be.

[saintbob]

Paton would have torn Breust a new one.

[King Max]

IN: Seb Ross, Tim Membrey
OUT: Hunter Clark (omitted), Ryan Byrnes (omitted), Anthony Caminiti (omitted)

[Otiman]

2 in, 3 out always does my head in with the sub.

Who was the sub last week?

[longtimesaint]

Stocker

[terry smith rules]

I can’t believe Hunter C is dropped, surely is now the sub

Last week 20 disposals, 10 tackles (equal most), second most pressure acts

And I thought was almost BOG in the first quarter, did fade in the 4th but not R Crusoe there

If he is not sub is there another reason and if there is then it is adios

Breust will be happy and a lot of other small forwards. Oh, and you bob. What pressure does Paton freeze under bob? It is certainly not the pressure of locking down a small forward.

[Scollop]

I wonder what Cordy’s role will be against Richmond

I hope he’s playing the passenger again, because he plays that role really well

[Vortex]

Is that the last we've seen of Clark ?

[SaintPav]

I Sense a car crash….

Sunday evening is going to be a real hoot on here..

[George27]

I too am surprised re Clark and hope he is the sub.

Three forwards on the bench . I expect Owens will be in the midfield, with Higgins starting up forward.

is it important to send a message to players that don’t want to play for St Kilda?

Is it important to get used to Clark not playing for us? Do we have to imagine he’s not on the list in 2023 even if he’s not leaving until 2024?

I don’t get it. Why leave him out of the side when he is one of the most creative and one of the most effective at clearances

He wins a much higher percentage of stoppage and centre clearances attended than Steele, Gresh, Marshall and Crouch

Obviously the hierarchy have lost the plot

[Scollop]

Hopefully Clark is the sub and hopefully he plays at least a half of football.

[nostalgicsaint]

Was also disappointed to see Clark dropped.

Had a look at the stats. He had only the 1 clearance for the game and this is where we got smashed.

I'm a massive fan so hope he is the sub but think that could be the cause.

Really interesting that Clark is sent a message, but what is the point if it is penalising the team’s chances of getting a win

His stats last week were equal to his average output.

Why would he dropped simply because he wants to leave the club? Don’t we want play our best 22?

We don’t need any more scapegoats apart from Ronnie and Caminiti this week. Dropping Clark will hurt our chances

Don’t we want to qualify for finals? Don’t the footy department and selectors have an obligation to members and supporters?

[nostalgicsaint]

Smashed in clearances.

Ross > Clark in clearances

Clark worst performed mid in that area.





I don't necessarily agree with the decision but this is the only logic that makes sense to me.

[CURLY]

Be interesting to see if Clark’s sub if not I’d suggest he’s got a small injury concern.


DB Copper is that Byrnes that has been dropped? I hope Lyon didn’t mention any flaws in his game.

[SaintPav]

So it looks like both our picks 7 and 8 from the 2017 draft could be busts!

Let that sink in!
