Re: Arie Schoenmaker to debut?

I guess he’ll be Mason Wood’s temporary replacement. My guess is no. Does not yet have the tank, and to play wing these days you need a huge tank. If King gets suspended. Caminiti to come in. Wing will be Byrnes and or Jones. Jones was the sub and will come into the 22. Wilson to also rotate throug...

Re: Crouch out, Jones in.

I must have missed the bit where Collard suddenly became a mid capable of playing at stoppages. I think it was more that one of Crouch or Ross had to make way for Jones who can midfield pace. All of Steele, Crouch and Ross make for a slow midfield group. Henry made a difference when injected there ...

Re: Another season of being of just a sh**ty football club.

Nas is wonderfully balanced smart player - can lose 1v1 contests Wow, it is almost like he has played less than 50 games, is only in his third season, and is still building his body.... If there is one young player on our list who I am confident will have a long and glorious career, it is Nas.

Re: Team structure was warped IMO

Personally I think King, Coops and Members can all work together up forward… most likely one pushing up. Owens found his way down forward for stints tonight and Coops is a waaaaay better set shot. Got to figure out Owens’ best role too Sharman should be one of our three marking forwards. King, Memb...

Re: Collard to debut

Higgins is - lead up and play for free kicks. Butler is being played as a pressure forward with the odd opportunistic 'over the back'. Collard is a high flying, mosquito crumber. This is the true small forward we need. Based upon what Membrey said when he announced Collard's selection his role when...

Re: Schoenmaker

Arie will be in the running. The downside though is that Hawkins and Cameron are both quality key forwards who are very experienced. Plus the Cats team as a whole is very experienced. So I think the selectors will opt for Cordy's experience and more mature body. So assuming Battle is fit and he see...

Can St Kilda still get him back? I don’t think so.
