Oh what a problem to have - an abundance of riches - and it is beginning to sound like a genuine abundance - it will be good to be in a position that the 'kids' can learn their skill and have it razor-sharp before being plunged in the deep end of AFL Life

Leo Connolly and Sam Alabakis donned the Navy Blue to even up the numbers.

Sounds like the players in the senior side won't get a game next match.

This is excellent news. With injury worries for Jones and Hannebery, and Dunstan out for 12 weeks, it is great to see Byrnes and Bytel looming as genuine midfield options. Likewise Sinclair is putting pressure on the small forwards .

In that report 17 Saints are mentioned, including 2 who played for Carlton! The only 6 on the list not mentioned were the injured Jones and Dunstan, plus Webster, Roberton , Clavarino and Bell. I wonder how many of those 4 played.

They were umpiring.

How much notice do you take out of a scratch match,when you have to give the opposition players to even up the numbers.Sure you want your guys to play well but makes you wonder how that equates to senior selection.Unfortunately thats all we have to go on

Interesting isn't it, I am not sure "form" is the main aim of these matches. It would be more about running out a game, having their bodies experience tackles, knocks and bumps.

At some point through the season players will be called up so their bodies need to be ready. Selection, I imagine, will be based more on training sessions, discipline and attitude, especially once in their hub.

You’d think both teams would be going pretty hard to impress. Standard might not be great but the attack on the footy would be fierce.

Good to see Bytel and Byrne’s as the headline again.
Byrne’s and Hind I suspect will be pressing for Hanneberys spot if Jones doesn’t come up.
Always good to see a win.
We got flogged by Richmonds reserves last week so still not sure how carried away we can get with our depth.

Quite a few players were missing out of the reserves last week compared to this week

When they next play a scratch, instead of making up numbers as the Saint did for Carlton, they should play the 5-5-5, 15 players aside format.
That way, each group [backs, mids and forwards will get match time that equates realistically to the 18 aside set up.
ie 5 backs, [no back pocket]. 5 mids, [wings out of the square at the bounce, 3 mids inside, centreman, ruck, rover]. Then 5 forwards [no forward pocket]
It's a well tried format played in juniors and many minor leagues where they don't have the numbers.

Carlton only had 14 to start with I think.and they played 16 a side.

Yes, I understand that was the case, but for a realistic match practice or otherwise, the 5-5-5, 15 aside set up in practice/reality, is more alike to the 6-6-6, 18 aside set up than what the 6-4-6, 16 aside set up is.

Makes sense in theory perhaps, except for the extra space at centre bounce maybe.

The old VFA used to play 16 a side with no wings.

So the key question is do Leo Connolly and Sam Alabakis both have to go into 14 day quarantine now?

Fraternising with people from the Northern suburbs.

Oh of course, fraternising!. Luckily the rest of our team only played contact sport against them. But from what I read there wasn't a lot of contact.

They were the only two that were contaminated with Donningtheblue

Such an affliction would be traumatic for anyone.
