Re: ins and outs
King nor Geary will be dropped. Neither are the problem.
Hind has gone missing too often of late. Kent was poor, but has more upside.
Sinclair disappears for large parts of the game and constantly turns it over.
I'm a massive fan of both Wilkie and Long, but both look tired. One, or both need a rest.
In : Bytel, Lonie, Savage, Carlisle

Re: ins and outs
Geary gets a bit of the footy because the opposition are happy for him to have it. As he turns it over in dangerous areas regularly. His kicking has no penetration now also, so even his long bombs drop short.
I love Gears, gives 100%, has got the most out of himself. He obviously has value as a leader, but he’s a liability in defence with footy in hand. He either needs to be a defensive fwd or play a full shut down roll.

Re: ins and outs
I doubt Long needs a rest, he needs to recapture his form prior to his month holiday. Agree with giving Wilkie a freshen up and Hind & Kent / Sinclair spells.Beno88 wrote: ↑Mon 31 Aug 2020 10:05am King nor Geary will be dropped. Neither are the problem.

Without Sicily to intercept, a great opportunity to change up our forward line. Add some height & rotate our on ballers through the forward pocket.
Another opportunity for Bytel to test himself & learn from a quality opposition mid in Mitchell.

Re: ins and outs
Agree that the strategy of not manning up on Geary is a deliberate strategy - and nothing has changed
It has been going on for years and makes a nonsense of statistics
There is no place for Geary in our back 6 and he cannot play elsewhere
The time has come for an honest player from a very poor time in the Club’s history
Including the Captaincy where Steele and Marshall should be anointed as team leaders

Re: ins and outs
I reckon Sinclair is giving far, far more than Kent. And Sincs has more talent and if he plays enough games in a row, he can add value. I've seen enough of Kent.Beno88 wrote: ↑Mon 31 Aug 2020 10:05am King nor Geary will be dropped. Neither are the problem.

Bytel will get picked for team development. Long is a tough one, he could play a killer game against Hawthorn. Seems unpredicatable. If he could play forward, I would keep him and not pick Lonie
If Wikie is really toasted and spent, maybe Robbo.
But as it sits now,
Out: Hind, Kent, Long
In Bytel, Carlisle, Lonie
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Re: ins and outs
I'll admit my focus on Geary is probably a little harsh but my gut feel is he has lost a yard of pace and he never really had it to lose. Just like Nathan Jones at Melbourne.
Looking at his stats as someone mentioned he had 14 touches I note only 1 of them was a contested possession however he had 4 clangers (not just ineffective but a turnover) seems high to me given most of his impressions were uncontested.
Agree he either has to play as a defensive forward or miss.
Hind is the other one. You simply can't carry a bloke who only touches it 5 times and gets one kick in unless they hit the scoreboard.
Kent, Sinclair and Phillips others on the fringe.
Assuming there is no one who needs to be managed my changes.
In: Carlisle, Bytel
Out: Hind, Geary
Side to line up as below
Paton Howard Wilke
Long Carlisle Coffield
Hill Jones Battle
Kent Membery Billings
RoMa King Butler
Ryder Steele Ross
Phillips
Sinclair
Clark
Bytel
If Geary survives he takes kents spot at hf with kent moving to the bench and Bytel missing. I dont mind the look of the side with geary at HF just don't want him in the backline.

Re: ins and outs
According to AFL stats Geary had 1 Clanger, less than most.

Yes re speed against Weideman he was found wanting, however as I said I think Weideman is quicker than many think
In support of his speed, he laid a tackle on a player on the 50 metre/ boundary intersection. It looked like the player was past him and Melbourne were out, he managed to close him down and effect a great tackle. Not sure many other Saints could do that

Re: ins and outs
King got beaten by bog last week and we have the bye this week so no need to drop him roughie acknlowdeges he is doing 95 % things correctly it's just the last 5 that needs work. He will get his hand right soon enough.
A lot of small player are fringe players at present and come in and out of the team. Don't be surprised if some players get time to up their value come trade time. Parker could be one. I like him more than most only because he hits hard and players no he is going to get them sooner or later. I am sure Kent and hind do certain things I don't notice but I rarely hear their name called so they can get a rest.
