King is averaging 9.6 touches and 1.4 goals per game. Is he not up to standard as well?
Sharman isn't an 18yo kid straight from the draft. He's been playing senior footy at lower levels for the past two years and the lower levels can be more physical and rougher then AFL so him being "skinny"...
We have no other option then playing "undersized". Our defenders aren't that big compared to Brisbane forwards. Battle won a rising star nomination playing as a defender so that's a pretty clear indication of where he should be played.
I watched Sharman play both games he's played for us. Not obviously in person but on TV. Two goals in a losing side last week seemed not a bad effort. He seems to move well and create opportunity. Connolly only played 4 games of VFL before he got a call up, so why not take a punt with a kid...
The two key defenders we have (not including Allison) are Clav and Darra and neither one of them is exactly lighting up the VFL. There's not much size difference between those two and Battle but there's plenty of experience difference. Why not play Battle and let him prove himself? He's got a...
Nope. They played because the senior players were injured and their list wasn't in great shape. They had a baptism of fire and have come out better for it.
How do you think Andrews, Hipwood, McCluggage all got the where they are today? They were played young and got their arses handed to them for many weeks.
Our forward line isn't exactly tearing it up at the moment so why not throw someone different into the mix? He kicked 2 goals in a crappy VFL side against a much better opponent. Billings wasn't great last week and Plantar Fasciitis doesn't go away easily. Time for this club to grow some balls...
If Battle doesn't play this week with Daniher, Hipwood and McStay in their forward then the selection committee can get f##ked. We were lucky Cox and Cameron were dropping marks in their forward line last week. Brisbane are a different animal. Ranked 1st inside 50's, 4th for marks inside 50, 2nd...
Saw Lok get smashed into the goal post up here at Aspley, got launched into the fence last week against the Tiges and now this. Think it wouldn't be a Sandy game without Goy getting smashed haha
And the wheels begin to fall off.
Time to make some calls on senior players and get some younger and fitter kids on the list and playing at the Zebs pushing for senior selection.
Just out of curiosity who is a Sandringham member here? I'm thinking of signing up next year to the no game access membership as I live in Brisbane. Be nice if the Saints did a Saints/Zebs combo membership though.
