It's harder for Cumming to get in the game when he's playing on the wing. We are used to seeing way more of him in that half back role. XO also rotating heavily to wing. I think both played okay but Cogs comes straight back in if his eye is okay....probably for XO who you'd imagine would go to Sub.Cumming has been a solid (and at times, excellent) player down back for us. But we're trying to squeeze 9 good players into a 7-man defensive rotation. Haynes and Cumming are the two squeezed out, and being used on a wing rotation to find a place.
I agree, barring injuries, it will be a tight call for places to get Cogs back in. I doubt we drop Lloyd having tweeted about getting him to 100 games. So, XOH and Cumming the weakest claims. Will likely come down to AK's game plan and role balance.
Is it wrong of me to book the following week in MelbourneWell, I've got the flights and accomodation booked for next Saturday.
I met one of our inspiring SA supporters yesterday who encouraged me to come, so I've answered the call.
It's going to be huge. Can't wait!
Love the confidence, not sure of the odds !Is it wrong of me to book the following week in Melbourne
I've already booked the accomodation....Is it wrong of me to book the following week in Melbourne
I'd give you a like ... but I liked something on the Saints board and now can't ... so accept my likeI've already booked the accomodation....
The irony is with many of the players we recruited we were always built for the MCG, but a combination of injuries and a bloke who perhaps was a bit askew with his game-plan led to repeated failures there.How good was it to see us really embrace and utilise the extra space in the MCG provides. Where the MCG has previously not suited us and the players got lost in all the space. Yesterday we were able to defend it but then open the ground up going forward.
Don’t think we should fear playing there anymore

True, that still counts as a game for the records. Bit of shitty way to celebrate 100 games though!Lloyd could be sub.
He is doing what Kingers is asking of him by the sounds of it so I have no doubt he will be playing and not a sub.True, that still counts as a game for the records. Bit of shitty way to celebrate 100 games though!
Same as Keeffe - doing the job the coach wants.He is doing what Kingers is asking of him by the sounds of it so I have no doubt he will be playing and not a sub.
Be great if we got St Kilda there each weekHow good was it to see us really embrace and utilise the extra space in the MCG provides. Where the MCG has previously not suited us and the players got lost in all the space. Yesterday we were able to defend it but then open the ground up going forward.

Good article. Thanks for posting this.I read a comment (think it was on the main board, perhaps?) that Toby Greene played his worst game of the year in the EF. I thought "that's not true, he only got one goal, sure, but contributed a lot more". Then I read this article on The Roar (which can be hit and miss at times), and thought that it provided a really good explanation. Not only of how Toby contributed, but also how a couple of Ross Lyon's defensive decisions/tactics didn't work for St Kilda.

19 touches 1.2 … directly involved (not just a handball in a chain) in a number of goals … he was dynamicGood article. Thanks for posting this.
I suppose the tag line is - pick your poison.
Try to lock Toby and stifle your own defensive instinct, but let in opportunities for our other dangerous forwards.
I also felt that Toby was dangerous most of the game. 1 goal and 19 touches was an ok output.
The 9 score involvements shows that he was still a vital contributor.
It was on main board game thread. Usual suspects looking at raw numbers , rather than understanding the totality of team football.I read a comment (think it was on the main board, perhaps?) that Toby Greene played his worst game of the year in the EF.

I can see where people are going with it.19 touches 1.2 … directly involved (not just a handball in a chain) in a number of goals … he was dynamic
He was pretty visible and Wilkie had his lowest possessions and marks for the year …. So still played very well while taking their best defender totally out of playI can see where people are going with it.
Toby played his role and had some good moments. But it wasn't typical Toby being the man stuff.
I agree with all of the stuff that article said and he played a role, but most would be used to him playing a more visable contribution.
I get that and agree with that, but can see where the casual observers are coming from as well.He was pretty visible and Wilkie had his lowest possessions and marks for the year …. So still played very well while taking their best defender totally out of play
