Match Thread: Saints vs Roos

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Is Membrey untouchable? Clearly past his best.

Phillipou a mile off younger players Wilson and Harley Reid.

Clearance player Owens being wasted as a forward --- why?

Bonner, Webster and Hiill can all be relied upon to turn it over at least once a game.

Wood and Hayes suprisingly good.

[B.M]

King made Aiden Corr look like Steven May

[George27]

Ross post-game said Liam Henry trained well today and will come straight in next week. There are a few candidates to make way for him.

Wood and Hayes suprisingly good.

Why is that surprising?

Who do you think?

For me Garcia, Byrnes, bonner, pou, membrey & hastie are probably the six that will need to fight hard for selection over the next month with all the inclusions returning. Howard could also make way for Cordy, although I doubt it.

[Devilhead]

Howard was decent today.with no crazy brainsnaps

A few players still a bit rusty and will be better for the run

[Teflon]

Probably rest a Garcia or Hastie for Henry
I’d like to see Shoenmakers for Bonner but not sure they’d do it
If Dow performs he has to be considered…Steel needs help
Be great to have some pressure for spots
I’d have rested Marshall today …maybe next week?

[Devilhead]

With Henry Hunter Crouch still to come back and also Zones finding some form at Sandy ... there is a nice injection of mid experience just around the corner

Very possible we can win 4 out of next 5 ... which will have us 7&6 and over 100% ... with a nice Marvel run in the 2nd half of the season

We will continue to fly under the radar which is fine by me

Wood and Hayes suprisingly good.

Why is that surprising?

First game after a long break, didn't expect much.

I suggest the following.

1. Henry to high half forward. Hill to wing. Hastie to Sub. Byrnes out.

2. Dow ( if plays well today) to midfield. Sinclair to defence. Bonner out.

3. We are carrying too many tall forwards, especially with Hayes having such a good game. One of Mattaes ( the most likely candidate) , Membrey and King out. As to who replaces him, let’s see who shines for Sandy today.

[Otiman]

Garcia has had a few solid games, but can make way for more experienced players.
Byrnes sadly back to VFL
Hastie needs a full match at least

This makes room for Dow and Henry

What do you do with Clark? Caminiti? Sharman? Higgins? Paton?

Maybe that's true with Hayes, but not Wood.
Hayes showed in that game why he is so important to our structure.
He's a target up front, a relief ruckman, and a cool head. Immensely more valuable than both Caminiti and Sharman.

We just need King to find form now.
