I'd do a Terry Wallace & "spew my guts" if Hannebery or Geary play in front of these guys unless there is an absolute requirement.

Billings, Jones & Clark are all easily starting 22 if fit and firing but agree all need to have at least one match at Sandy.
Higgins will be back in the side before any of those players.
I would rather give Higgins another week off. Play it safe with him. The only change this week IMHFO should be Campbell for Ryder.


St Kilda should never trade with Essendon and Sydney ever again!!!

A fit Higgins is an automatic selection…gives a point of difference to our forward 50.

Did you actually read my post? Or are you trying to cause trouble? I never said rest Higgins. I said "I would rather give Higgins another week off. Play it safe with him". Are you aware he had 2 brain surgeries about 2 years ago?

Higgins has showed no ill effects of concussion at all, if it weren’t for the protocols he would’ve played last week.

He’ll be straight back in

We will look back and say our recruiting in 2021 as being the most fruitful in our recent history - Heath, Sharman, Wanganeen-Milera, Owens, Windhager, Adams, Peris, Kyle, Hayes & Lienert. If all develop to their full potential thats 10 players added from the 1 year.

Yes I did too….interesting that some recruiters from other clubs didn’t know much about him ..

Really like what I’ve seen with Adams …, Peris , Kyle over summer .

Roughead done lot of conditioning work with Windhager.
