Preview Round 24, 2023: Brisbane v St.Kilda - Gabba, Saturday 26th August, 4:35PM AEST

[Remboy]

Yes evidently Max King not as good as Cooper "Delist" Sharman

So we’re going to delist King instead?

 

[Plugger35]

Don't mind that change, gives Hayes a chance to press his claims for finals while protecting Max for finals.

Hayes playing also allows us to rotate him with Marshall in the ruck and up forward so it might even improve our chances of winning this game.

In other games relevant to us this weekend.

Looks like Blues and Dees are going in with their best teams.

[Sully111]

Really happy for Hayes. Hope the big fella has a blinder.

Jack Hayes IN Plus Hunter

Paul Hunter's back to give RoMa a chop out!?

Don't mind resting King if he needs it to make sure his body is right for the final, gives Hayes a crack and see where he's at. Kicked 6 on the weekend so what better time to have a trial run.

Interesting fwd line, also wonder how much time Pou plays in the mids compared to fwd.

 

[PoppedCorn]

I need to see the bottom half of this gif!!!

Christ I never noticed that
Lol

 

[Joffaboy]

When RTB was in convo with Hayes and Coops then Hayes doing rucking with Roh, it was obvious he was in.
Especially after his weird statement that Hayes needed more football considering there was none to be had.

Great to see Hayes included as he is a solid performer who contests and could be a X factor up forward and rucking in the finals.

If Hayes plays finals he could be the relief ruck for Ro, allowing Ro to rest up forward. Extra height up forward in the finals could be a difficult match up for any opposition. Owens and other who have been used in the ruck can concentrate on their primary roles.

King to be managed at this time means that he won't play for 3 weeks. Coming into the finals that's not ideal, however he must need the break.

HES BACK BABY!!!! BIG BOY JACKY!!!!

Honestly the saints social media team has nailed it again. George the insta post for Jacks return is absolutely elite content.

 

[sunny3193]

So Hayes came in and Cooper didn't go out?

I wonder where that train was going…..

 

[DougalHoward]

Disappointed he dropped the 47 it's a great number IMO, hope Hammer keeps it

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

How are the Cats looking

They've shut up shop.

 

[PoppedCorn]

I wonder where that train was going…..

Well it wasn't taking Cooper home this week

 

[beside the seaside]

And did we break the Cats?

Bailey Smith illness. Seems to have had a few this year.

Hope Hayes can snag 2-3 goals and gets though the game unscathed. Would give us a lot of options for our tall forward set up for the first final game. King, Membrey, Hayes, Sharman, Hammer.

Plenty of training and match simulation, but also enough recovery. I think it's a good move for Max.
I thought that they may have rested RoMa too, but can see why they didn't.
Hayes is a good in, up against some of the best opposition in the game, on their home deck. It will bring the big fella with the Clockwork Orange moves up to speed pretty quick...and give him a week off to recover.

 

[The Jack]

Don’t think we can win this game without King tbh.

Do we care though?

Go Dees.

 

[Saintbloke]

I guess Hayes is in to counter Harris Andrews

King "rested", cue the melts from everyone allergic to the thought haha. I'm glad though.

Chronic “sinusitis”…

Poor bastard

No one was allergic to the thought of King being “rested.”
Strange post especially as in actual fact he isn’t.
They are managing his shoulder in a relatively meaningless game and protecting further injury before the real season begins ( as RTB refers to it.) Very good player management.

Nobody else is being rested - exactly how it should be with a bye week afterwards. Don’t flirt with form we’ve just re-discovered.
