Autopsy JLT Community Series - Game 2, 2019: Western Bulldogs v St.Kilda

[VDS66]

OK so only minimal changes this week.

Not withstanding injuries, if this week is supposed to be a preview for round one, then expect a different team to last year.

Exciting.

Assuming the bench gets cut to 6 tomorrow?

 

[hayes]

All of Parker, Long and Kent playing is encouraging. If we were going with just two talls I’d be even happier. Hind may struggle because of all of our half backs but I’d be happy to see him in the round 1 team as well.

Would be good to see all 4 play R1

I think it’s still 8. Hoping Coff makes the cut.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Last week we were going to have the final two on the bench only play little to no minutes (Paton and Wilkie), but had to bring Wilkie on early to replace Pierce, and I imagine it will be a similar story this week.

Brown and someone else will sit out most if not all the game, unless needed earlier.

The last four are emergencies according to the Saints site.
But I thought we only had six interchange this week.

Interesting side this week. Coffield probably the surprise, looks like he has work to do to get into the side. Armo will be back up this year.

Marshall with a chance to grab the no.1 ruck position. A few positions up for grabs, I get the feeling Newnes is a lock in the Rd1 side.

 

[Premium]

People keep talking about Acres being used in the ruck like he played a Jason Blake role, I only distinctly remember him rucking of any note in the WB game when Hickey went down - the guy has 10 HO's records for the entire season, what other games did Acres ruck where that was his main role for a period longer than 90 seconds?

The guy has a total of 36 hitouts in his entire career over, at what point can you tell me where he was genuinely played as a ruck, ever really?

just meaning we really don't have a back up

what no Acres

 

[Nutsngum]

what no Acres

He has a sore back at the moment.

 

[Southseas]

Armitage,Coffield & Young will play

ALL emergencies will play?

 

[Jade Buddha]

Not sue why we've got Nat Brown for this one.

 

[triggering bro]

Not sue why we've got Nat Brown for this one.

He’s a lock for round 2 so I’d imagine wed wanna get some minutes into him with the bye/break next week & his suspension in round 1.

 

[CaptainRisky]

It's. A. Joke.

People use the few times Acres was put into the ruck as indicative of Richo playing players out of position and putting thoroughbreds in jeopardy.

Correct and he is no Winx ,

 

[bird_man]

Pretty disappointing Coffield can't push himself into either of the JLT games, especially with 8 on the bench.

Maybe he got a bit of a rocket. Surely he'd be ahead of Paton?

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Sinclair needs to go he was horrible last week. Squibbed it twice i saw it the other 5 saints supporters i was with agreed. I would give hind first crack hes quick and tough. Wont shirk the contest.

How much of the ball did Sinclair get, how much did Hind get? Is someone going to tie a ribbon round the ball and hand it to Hind 20 times a game because you think Sinclair didn't go in hard enough a couple of times?

Cant tackle. Wont put his head over the ball. Skirts the pack waiting for the easy kick. Too slow. He would need a big game to be any where near the best 22. Im not the only one who sees it.

 

[hayes]

Can find the ball. Can win his own ball and use it well. The only thing that can hurt Sinclair’s spot in the 22 is Richo playing him as a forward.

 

[SaintersUnite]

Bit upsetting that neither Coffield or Young won’t play either of the preseason games, unless Coff gets a late call up.
Can’t wait to see Roma in the tuck though.


St Kilda and proud.

Dean Kent dragged out in front of the cameras for the evening news.

Sincs may not have had a tackle on the weekend, but he did have our equal-5th most CP's (8) and equal-2nd most clearances (4).

Whilst I agree Sinclair needs to find some form if he's to play round one, I also think you've gone on with a fair bit of bull shit with this post.

To say Sinclair can't tackle couldn't be further from the truth. He's got a bloody good and strong tackling technique and has fairly good tackling numbers for the role he plays.

You also need to realise that each player has a role in the side. You have everyone going in for the footy it turns into an under 8's game fairly quickly and you get smashed on the outside. Jack would be instructed to wait on the outside as that's his role and his as good with ball in hand as anyone in that team.

Well over one third of his possessions last year were contested which is very good for a wing man.

I'll admit his pace isn't ideal for his role, but his biggest issue for me is just being able to find the footy. If you get the ball in his hands 25 times a game he's a great asset to the side. If he's not finding the footy though, it might he time to look at other options.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Sincs is definitely not slow!
