Has to be the midfield for mine. Here’s what’s alarming to me… King Membrey Owens Caminati Butler Sharman Higgins All looked like capable forwards at one point or another last year. With the exception of Higgins and noting Butler has missed with injury… All of them have looked like liabilities all s...

We have Sinclair and Wanganeen who are capable.

BOOM!!!

This is it. Thread closed. I don’t get it either.

Hill himself should be third in line

They are our worst 5 players

Sharman subbed off again

Wilson had 18 touches
Caminati kicked 2 goals

Hits and misses

I would have preferred Jones in ahead of Paton tonight

We played finals last year

Unless we get a better offer… I don’t want to go back to another Richo or Ratts

Yeah Paton is done IMO

I don’t think this post aged well

Seems to me that the game is being lost in the middle.

Marshall is the leading possession getter on the ground with 19… the next 7 are Freo players with Bonner #9 with 12

Need to get some ball

I reckon we’ll win tonight…
Am loving the selected team - very well balanced. Feel like it will be a good show for us.

But

I am completely staggered that Collard gets a game

His form in the VFL has been ordinary at best and I think it does nothing for selection integrity for him to now get a game

Maybe I’m wrong… but I thought prior to last week, I thought he’d been decent.

I think this place is going to be fun tomorrow night C’mon mods. You’ve been working too hard. Take the week end off No dramas from me provided things stay in the one spot and don’t get to vicious. What I hate to see is people talk a big game and then immediately start firing out the reports if the...

Enough with the sniping please - people get upset if I remove posts… it’s getting tempting if this just continues to go on and on

Fisher chose and easy way to make money and will now pay the price. Fisher’s issues were very well known during his playing days. Even I who has no connections to the club whatsoever hears the stories around 2010 (which I think made me late to the party). I dare say that what happened post footy wa...

Long barely played last year and looked very average

Came in last week and getting 12-14 touches so far and kicking goals in big wins.

Can’t say I’m ruing the decision just yet

On Jones…
Was glad he was dropped, was playing weak footy.

Has demanded selection and is playing for his life. Glad he gets the opportunity. An in form Jones would elevate us substantially.

Weak and reactive. Ross Lyon's 'whateva' selection. !!?? Don’t know if I’m missing sarcasm but I love this… best selection of the year IMO Easily the most balanced team we’ve selected this season. It’s shorter but with marking targets up forward… lots of zip and versatility. Membrey, Stocker and Ro...

To be honest… It was fine but it’s just been a miserable patch since RTB left in 2011. 2012 to 2020 was just marred with idiotic decision making, incompetence etc and frankly we didn’t fire a shot in that entire time. 2020 or thereabouts was when we made and one a final for the first time in an age ...

Agreed on all points.

Shaping up to be a bull of a midfielder. Wins ball and can be defensive.

Has potential Captain written all over him

Does anyone on this forum seriously think getting rid of Hind was a bad move? He’s probably been worse at Essendon than when he was with us. Biggest whipping boy at the bombers and for good reason. Spud. Not so much a bad move… But we have him away for nothing whilst keeping a bunch of players that...

I’m scared of Serong.

Possibly my fav non Saint

We played Hind out of position Hind this season is below average for disposals, marks, tackles, goals, clearances, effective disposals, disposal efficiency, meters gained, contested possessions, and pressure acts. Not sure this position suits him either apparently. Just a deficient player sadly. Pr...

Pies rely on speed on the large MCG.

I wonder who Jack would have replaced in our team that beat Collingwood earlier this year.

I didn’t watch the game but it looks like he was sub initially, came on for 7 touches… maybe finished the game off?

Interesting stat posted on Saints Uncensored

King 149 goals in 77 games.
Hawkins 90.
Curnow 124.
Brown 87

King 155 contested marks
Hawkins 106
Curnow 120
Brown 115

Just that former players who we thought were s*** Seemed to be going ok elsewhere I don’t think many ppl thought that Gresh was s*** - consistency has always been the issue. Has been decent for the bombers but his performances don’t look to me like he’s improved out of sight. Not sure that he’s wor...

Ben Long on display at GC today

14 touches, 2 goals, 3 tackles
