Who comes in this week?

[Winmar7]

Ben Long and Paddy are out this week

Who comes in, and who will kick our goals?

Do you we swing Carlisle forward and have a look at Austin or Claravino down back?
Maybe try Longer and Hickey in the same team, with Hickey resting forward?
Does Battle come in..?

We need to shake things up a bit, get experimental...

[saynta]

Acres and Sinclair for sure. Maybe Battle and Phillips.

[Selhurst Saint]

I would to see Phillips, Sinclair, and Battle for Long, Paddy, and Billings.

[MC Gusto]

Is paddy confirmed out?

[stonecold]

Is paddy confirmed out?

Yes, for a week or two, at least!!!!!

[degruch]

Is paddy confirmed out?

Close enough...Richo said probably 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, I can see Lonie pulling on his boots for Long. Not sure who replaces Paddy, probably Marshall as Battle hasn't excelled in the VFL recently.

Maybe his baloon was a bit deflated when his bag of goals didn't earn him a call up.

he could be the type who lifts when playing with better footballers.

I would give him a go.

Who and what bag of goals?????

[bigred]

Fkn Lonie.

Jesus.

I believe the word that I have read that described Longa's form last weekend was "putrid".

Battle for Paddy. Just do it.

Phillips in for Long. Sinclair in for Billings.

Gresh Lucky.

C: Sinclair, Steele, Acres
HF: Billings, Marshall, Weller
F: Gresham, Carlisle, Membrey

Foll: Hickey, Steven, Ross
Int: Armitage, Clark, Dunstan, White
No point in continuing the way we are going. For f***'s sake change things up and stop playing underperforming old spuds. Last chance for BIllings and that's only because Long is out. If not for his injury I would have dropped him as well

[dragit]

Just so long as we don't see Goddard or Austin, cause Brown-dog is killing it apparently… and it's only round 8.

In
Acres, Sinclair, White, Phillips, Goddard

Out
Paddy, Long, Weller, Gilbert, Brown.

[Spinner]

I miss the forum's guess this weeks ins and outs regular thread... a poorer forum without p66!

Big changes for me.

Savage too one dimensional, Billings too out of form and Newnes just not damaging. Longer for Hickey against the bigger and strong Sandilands. Rice and Phillips to debut.

IN: Phillips, Acres, Sinclair, White, Longer, Lonie.

OUT: McCartin, Long, Newnes, Billings, Savage, Hickey.

White Brown Geary
Webster Carlisle Gilbert
Acres Dunstan Coffield
Gresham Marshall Weller
Lonie Membrey Armitage
Longer Ross Steven
Phillips Sinclair Clark Steele


Not gonig to happen and might get smashed by 10 goals... but is that any different to any of our other losses this year and last?

In
Acres, Sinclair, White, Phillips, Goddard

Out
Paddy, Long, Weller, Gilbert, Brown.

Over 3 games Weller is averaging 20 disposals, 5 marks and 4 tackles from half forward in a team that hasn't won a game. I don't think it's at all fair to drop him for a kid who has been named in the best once in the VFL this year.

Far out I forgot the Blake.

This is what saw Mav play 18 games last year. He played one good game and has then had 2 very poor ones.

Against Hawthorn he had 6 kicks, 6 hand balls, virtually the exact stats that saw Lonie dropped after only one game.

Last week he was woeful, while his 15 handballs are boosting his disposal average, they are flattering his output.

As a forward, Mav has kicked 12 goals in his past 23 matches… the guy is 26 YO and 110 games in now, I reckon we should move on.

[saintspremiers]

Sweeping changes?

Nah, just the vaniila 3.

Long & Paddy out and FFS 4 tackle Newnes ta ta get some hardball for Sandy.

In Acres, Sinclair & Battle

[MC Gusto]

Sinclair and acres both back in
Would Like to see rice and battle get a crack
Bring back white

Drop billings, newnes

[desertsaint]

we drop players like billings and newnes, send a message, and lose by ten goals.
Or we keep faith, the same things happen, and we lose by ten goals.
I choose option A.

Sorry, didn't know who you were talking about, a bag of goals was 6+ in a game when I played!!!!!

I think Battle kicked as many as 4 one game, but had about a three week trot of multiple goals. Anyways, that's who Saynta was talking about. I'm not suggesting Battle come into the side, I think we can drop Marshall/Hickey down there with Skunk for a tall FWD line. I can't see a solution that's going to remedy two outs in our forward six (even if one hadn't done much for a few weeks) but I get the impression Battle's not quite there...and can't imagine getting potentially towelled up interstate will help his cause much.

Lonie (urgh), Acres, Sinclair and Rice ins for Long, Paddy, Newnes and Savage/Gilbert (inj).

[older saint]
