I'm told out.

Can't go into the game with Gov,Saad and Durdin under injury clouds. Recipe for disaster

From our opening round team, as named, these are the players playing this week in the below positions.

That’s right, none!

If Gov, misses that’ll make it 13 out from opening round.

This will be a win for the ages.

Can we stop with the notion that if the saints win they’ll drop on the draft order,they couldn’t give a stuff about that they just want to finish us.

Grow up - if you could come up with something clever or original it might reach the level of banter.

Generally it's schoolboy level, unfunny rubbish - deluded rants about wooden spoons against a club who've achieved far more than we have in the last 25 years.

Are you actually serious?

Pray tell, what exactly in your mind have St Kilda "achieved" in the last 25 years?

"Grow up"? How about you take your own advice and scroll on or use the 'Ignore' function if the level of banter does not reach your standards.

Your post has an element of 'old man yells at cloud' about it. Lighten up.

I agree they just want to end our season. However, if people want to control their anxiety by coming up with reasons they won't go as hard, then they can. No skin off my nose.

 

[Ahuitzotl]

I for one am happy we’ve not picked Charlie. I think that would signal a level of desperation with which I would not be comfortable. They have faith in the selected squad. I’m happy to go with that.

Now let’s bury these bastards and hit the finals with some momentum!!

 

[Michael Jezz]

Roles will be interesting. Carroll was really damaging and clean at half back last week. Hollands spent time in the back half and it worked for him. Do we explore Saad on a wing? Binns will get a lot of time on the wing. Acres probably goes forward a fair bit. Weitering was really good at CHB with Young at FB, it worked. We just need to keep them wide and slow them down well. We should have really really good midfield rotations. How we navigate the second ruck role will be interesting. I don't mind the bigger mids doing it, gives us more mobility, run and ground level strength in the middle.

May not be a traditional back 7 forward 7 and mids. Will be players playing in both positions more.

Young Weitering Newman Saad Cincotta Cowan and Carroll will be the main defenders. Hollands will go through there.

Kennedy Kemp Owies Motlop E Hollands Durdin will be the main forward. I think McGovern if he plays will play there, if not Moir or Fantasia.

Wings will be Acres Hollands and Binns. Binns will be mainly wing, a little half forward if it works that way. Acres I think goes forward a bit. Hollands goes back a bit. E Holland and Carroll may go through here at times.

On Ball will be Cripps Walsh Hewett and Lord. We will see a fair bit of E Hollands, especially as a plus 1 and a bit of Kennedy. Carroll could get a few minutes as well. Would we pull a left field move and put Saad in here for a few minutes?

I would put saad fwd on one of the saints pacy HBFs.

They should just want to finish us, agreed. No doubt that's what Ross wants. But whether the players actually feel that way? Maybe they do, or maybe some of them feel just a little bit satisfied with their effort last week and are starting to think about their break. Time will tell.

 

[Jimmae]

A whole year younger and 30 games less experience on average.

That was the scenario last week as well, but in the case of West Coast it was from a dearth of experience in the middle band, while St Kilda has a better spread of experience.

Tougher match, and hopefully we'll get a lot more creative at centre bounces and milk their lack of key forward.

I’m told nothing

And yet you know everything

 

[SpiritOfCarlton]

Someone from Carlton should strategically place dozens of drinks cards around the St Kilda rooms to re-align their priorities at this time of the season.

Also need some strategic dwarf placements.

 

[JohnnyCarlton]

St Kilda's motivation is to knock us out of the finals. Our motivation is to make the finals. Surely our motivation is higher. Particularly if the game is in the balance in the last quarter.

McGovern & Saad, at Marvel, with their strings.
What could possibly go wrong…..
Martin should come into the side as sub.

There’s no doubt we’re gonna have a go it’s just that the team is just so riddled with injuries will make it very tough.

We're going to need a decent early lead and then hold on for dear life.

Only relevant if Hawks lose to North by 2+ goals

So if hawks win and we get beat by 120 points, pies can’t go above us???

 

[Accidental genius]

The only thing we need to focus on is the 4 points.

So hopefully coaches have analysed the rabble v cats game last week and developed a strategy to stifle their strength and enhance ours.

I’ve got no doubt the boys will be playing with lots of enthusiasm and energy …just like last week.

We are not playing West Coast, we need to understand what we need to do to win and damage control…

I’m expecting a heavy loss…
