Could be a few options thrown around for this one. Assuming Harris is fine i'd bring him in for Smith with that being the only change for me. McKenna sub again

ClarifyIt's a no Brainer this week.
Out- Henry Smith.
In- Harris Andrews.
McKenna sub again.
The Saints have been very good lately, need to clamp down on Wanganeen-Milera and Jack Sinclair.
Not sure Answerth has regained form in vfl yet, injuries didn’t help. Bruce and Fort were the only two that impressed me. Could see Bruce coming in for Brain, Prior or McKenna. I hope for McKenna if it happens.Hippy did us a solid this week but back to the forwards next week assuming Andrews is okay.
I think Hippy will get in Andrews way if he stays in defense.
Out Smith in Andrews.
Brain over McKenna but that could go either way sub wise. Answerth a chance to replace one of them.
Prior retains his spot with his solid performance.
Yep, just go with 5 on the bench and be done with it.Coming on as sub is a tough gig.
The sooner they get rid of it again the better
I'm not convinced a training block is the solution for McKenna. Watching him closely on Saturday, I think he's just taking too long to decide what to do with the ball. He needs to shave half a second from the time he's taking at the moment, because that is giving the opposition time to tackle, smother or cover his options.Harris for smith
Bruce for McKenna
McKenna needs to be playing full games or doing a training block. Sub for him is a big no.
In Fagan we trust - we know he doesn't like making changes and we know he likes to keep his best team together and 'trusts' his players even when they are down on form.
I agree with others - Harris for Smith
I thought Prior was really good and if it was me, given our injuries down back I'd keep him is and get him up to pace for the finals.
Bruce, Brain, McKenna whom do we trust the most- it's pretty even so I think of Fagan and his 'trust' and McKenna gets the shot.
No way Ross lets Lachie run around Scott free, just can’t see that happening.No King this week for Saints and they're all be medium forwards so Prior would go well against them.
No Windbag either so Neale will have a bit more freedom + mids should get on top. Ashcroft will be another addition who wasn't there when we played Saints in Round 14.

Wonder if we could consider giving Harris another week off, if for nothing else, than to keep him fresh for what’s to come.
Saints are only reasonably short in their forward line so we could run with the same backline, all bar sending Hippy back forward for Smith and McKenna into the 22 and Reville as Sub.
Just a thought![]()
yep, and Membrey!We'll be too short if Hipwood doesn't play in backline and there'll be a tall defender missing.
Wilmot, Zorko, Starce, Lester, McKenna would be a difficult backline to handle high ball. Owens, Caminiti and Sharman all have a decent leap and marking ability, you need a tall of ours able to spoil those alongside Lester.
I don’t think we want an easy game now to be honest.Shame we get St Kilda in great form again, would be really nice to have an easy game. What a season overall though, any team can win on their day...well except Richmond.
I think we have only had two "easy" games all season. North and Richmond. The rest have been pretty tough, with the only comfortable win coming against Port because we played incrediblyShame we get St Kilda in great form again, would be really nice to have an easy game.

anyone remember who got Higgins last time? Cause it didn't work!No King but they certainly have aerial threats.
Cooper Sharman 193cm coming off career best reform.
Membrey is incredibly listed at 188cm but clearly plays as a tall
Caminiti 196cm
Mitch Owens is 191cm but has played ruck so gives you an idea of his leap
Maybe we could do:
Harris to Caminity
Lester to Sharman
Prior to Membrey (Membrey is very strong so Prior could work)
Brain to Owens
Assuming no Joyce, i think either Hipwood is back again or Brain plays. Brain can play tall.
BUT having said all that, it was Higgins, Henry and Butler who hurt us most last time. Henry is injured, so Higgins needs the lock-down treatment. I think Wilmot would actually be excellent at it as Higgins is so fast and nimble, suspect Starce gets the job, anyone remember who got Higgins last time? Cause it didn't work!
No Windhager - as others have said Neale will get some form of tag, but might not be as good.
The player we absolutely have to lockdown on is Wanganeen-Milera, and i would go with Ah Chee.
Hill also needs attention - Maybe a Berry wing job?
Selection i would go Harris for Smith - with Hipwood to play forward, and Prior to be one of 4 'tallish' defenders.
Bruce the clear standout from the 2s so he goes in for McKenna who plays 2s.
