Membrey wasn't available against Sicily and last week was his first week back

I'd be inclined to play Tim on Tom

Having said that, maybe Coops can surprise me and maybe he's ready to take another scalp
I am not sure that Membrey has played as a defensive forward? Plus Stewart is 2 cm taller than Membrey, but 3cm shorter than Sharman. Sharman at present is probably fitter and more mobile than Membrey. Hayes is 1cm taller again and could be considered, but really lacks match practice and so that would quite a risky move. Josh Battle the same height as Sharman also did ok a while ago when he played as a defensive forward on Stewart. But he is pretty settled down in our backline.



One thing I really liked about Membrey's game against the Tigers was that he kept clear of Max, and with Membrey being a goal threat that meant the Tiger's defenders were split rather than just having an easy outnumber on Max. So Tim was very smart in how he played.

I can only recall one time the two of the were in the same marking contest, and that is when Max came flying in late and arguably spoilt Tim from marking the ball.

So personally I would structure up again like we did in the first 3 quarters.

I’d put Higgins as the sub run around and impact with pace and unpredictability

Sharman is the obvious tall out.
So Sharman went how against Sicily?

So Sharman went how against Vlastuin?


Just as well Geelong do not have Tom Stewart playing....
Sicily had really good numbers and was the 3rd highest ranked player for the Hawks.

Sicily was reduced largely to getting cheap out the back kicks from his team mates in the main, which padded his stats but largely did no harm.

First time we played the Hawks Sicily destroyed us with his intercept marking and was BOG.
He will struggle to hold his spot as any type of defender when Coff becomes available and Hayes at some stage will push for selection as a Ruck/tall forward option which will mean there isn’t a spot for him in the forward line either and that’s without Caminiti putting pressure on for spots in the forward line.

He’s pretty much gotten games due to most of our first options not being available so the challenge for him now is can he deliver a breakout game and push our first options out of the team. 2 games left to see where it lands.

Sherman had an average game against the Tiges and was subbed out.

Coff is my guess for the player to tip him out but could be Hayes if we are looking for some support in the ruck
Sharman out was tactical.
They wanted Clark in but they wanted to keep our run so took out a tall, maybe Membrey needed more game time otherwise he would've been pulled
Yeah tactical is one way of putting it

I think saints need to plan for Tom Atkins based on form.
