don't make me look silly

?

eh, just that i said it would be disastrous and hes not ready right before you said he was a chance.

I'll still be surprised, but it is a very exciting prospect to see him play.

Cordy is lucky that Caminiti will probably be suspended as he would be the one I would drop for Membrey.

I would drop Cordy anyway. His output with us is pretty on par with his previous track record where he is mainly below average, and then has the occasional good game.




Caminiti got sucked in by his opponent and may well miss due to this. Hopefully Caminiti will have learnt from that, for if Caminiti misses it is very poor timing with our next two matches being the Blues and Port.

With Cordy being below par, Caminiti was our one true key forward. Even if Cordy plays, it will not be good if he is playing as our one big forward.

Membrey back is nice (and Blues fans will not be happy as he has often ripped them apart), but he is not a true key forward, and Membrey would be more effective.

So RTB and Assistance to my mind need to get their thinking caps on.

Not so easy as while Marshall is good around the ground , he has never really embraced playing like a key forward needs too.

Campbell would be worth a try. I cannot see why he would be worse than Cordy, and as the 2nd ruck he would be much better than Cordy there.

Sharman is a chance, and personally I would have him over Cordy. He is only 193cm, but we have few options at present. And we need some better marking targets in our front half.

Keeler? Lacks practice, but he only needs to be better than Cordy.

 

[Joffaboy]

If he’s fit, would brining Keeler in be disastrous?

Yes

Out: caminiti, cordy, windhager, (bytel)
In: membrey, campbell, Steele

Windy sub.

Bytel doesn’t have the speed or skill to come on and impact as a sub, he’s just a very good vfl standard player unfortunately.

Going to be one of those who can dominate vfl but not make the step up to AFL

 

[SaintBilly]

Has Cordy really been that bad? I think yesterday a lot of players had a mare so prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to a few. But he’s actually been rather serviceable.

Wholesale changes surely not required. I like the message about backing them to learn from mistakes - members for hammer should be it imo

 

[Mowman]

Apparently Keeler might be a chance to make his debut given the height of the Blues.

So we could go in with

Keeler
Pou
Windhager
NWM
Owens
Stocker

All less then 40 games

Oh I didn't see that mate sorry. Just came in and posted.

I am surprised if he comes in too, think he would've needed more weeks in the VFL but the fact he traveled with the side to Adelaide is promising for him. Don't want to say too much but I think he may surprise a few, going under the radar I feel but I like that.

 

[SaintBilly]

Yep. Like paddy dow. shame. I always like Bytel.

 

[SaintBilly]

I’m keen to see Keeler and van Es at some point to see what they have. Exciting youth is not something we are used to let’s face it.

All of a sudden we have a good crop of young kids. Really exciting and even though we lost yesterday the fact that we didn't get blown out only increases the level of optimism I have about us.

SOS' experience showing early with bringing Caminiti and Stocker across. Couldn't believe Stocker is only 23, the way he speaks publicly is outstanding for a guy his age, but on-field he's been fantastic for us. Very composed, tough, good decision maker. Couple of great finds and shows it doesn't take much in terms of recruitment to change the direction of a club.

Surely Keeler plays VFL first

Membery was forced to play VFL, can't imagine Keeler coming back from injury slots straight into the 22.

Agreed. If he hasn’t played vfl I don’t want him coming right in for the real stuff. Let’s see how he goes in the twos and maybe he can force his way through.

 

[SaintBilly]

When do the MRO findings usually come out?

i thought it was earlier than this?

 

[sammm]

Cordy is lucky that Caminiti will probably be suspended as he would be the one I would drop for Membrey.

Steele coming back as well probably means Bytel gets dropped back to the VFL and Windhager gets dropped to be the sub.

Good to have replacements coming back as we looked a bit weary last night, we need a light week on the track with Carlton having 3 days extra break.

The Port game is only a 5 day break. Need players to come back. As otherwise might lose the next 2 games Carlton, Port

 

[St Kilda Death]

Keeler

No different to the first 5 games when Hammer was in though.
Hammer only has 5 games on Keeler!

 

[DougalHoward]

Apparently Keeler might be a chance to make his debut given the height of the Blues.

Hope he plays I'd back him, wouldn't want him in the ruck though

 

[SaintersUnite]

Put Wilkie in the forward line and bring in big James Van Es

This is a joke please don’t hurt me

Fuuuuuuck sent straight to tribunal - will be four matches.

 

[tim_saints]

Cordy plays another week given Caminiti goes out! Imo

Out: Caminiti (Suspended), Byrnes/Windhager (omitted)

In: Steele, Membrey

Bytel (sub)

Byrnes stiff but I think yesterday he looked out of sorts, Windhager does come to mind too as much as it pains me to say it, don’t really see where he fits at the moment and any midfield minutes he had (very few) are about to get even worse with Steele back in

No omissions.

Membrey in for Hammer. Keep it simple

Oh wait I forgot about Steele. Yeah I rather put windy in as sub and drop Bytel

 

[SaintBilly]

yesterday he looked out of sorts

Key word here is yesterday.
And a lot of others were out of sorts so for mine persevere with him.


I think we need to back the players after last week. Back under the lid this week.

Keeler must be lighting up the track if he's even if with a sniff

No way keeler plays

If keeler plays ill run nude down swanston....hang on, wait a minute

 

[SaintersUnite]

Eh we have a straight upgrade with Skunk coming back for Hammer. I know they’re different kinds of forwards but I still feel like we’ll be better off.
