Sounds like the Sainters are going to be at close to full-strength. That's great news for our fringe players. It will add credibility to any good perfotmances they put in.

It's time for Koby to step up. He needs to put in a performance that demands rd1 selection and he's running out of nab games.

I say just play him from round 1 to round 5, if he doesn't show anything tell him the gig is up.

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

I thought his last NAB cup game was pretty goood? Give him time, a lot of footballers take a while to step up from WAFL to AFL

 

[pantskyle]

Whoops sorry guys for not putting in a link.

 

[pantskyle]

Some solid game time is only good for Stevens. Really hope he is Kerr's apprentice.

 

[Patron]

I really want to win this game as a win means the GF and good exposure and an extra week to watch us play proper football but if it means risking players its not at all worth it. I trust the coaching staff.

Looks like we are resting Gaff, Lynch, Glass & Hurn

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Good team, happy to rest those blokes and will be great to see Waters and Naita. Can't wait for the game

 

[kempy]

Possible lineup: ??

Ashley Smith Eric Mackenzie Brad Sheppard
Sam Butler Will Schofield Beau Waters
Lewis Stevenson Matt Priddis Matt Rosa
Jack Darling Fraser McInnes Josh Hill
Mark Nicoski Gerrick Weedon Ryan Neates

R. Dean Cox Daniel Kerr Chris Masten

Nic Naitanui Scott Selwood Tom Swift Blayne Wilson Ashton Hams Adam Selwood

Not sure about that forward line - maybe Hamp?

 

[pantskyle]

I think Naita would start. Needs some game time.

Good squad. Victory means the final.

 

[groga]

Saints will get up. We don't have a forward line

 

[the harry]

It's a lucky coincidence they have no backline

 

[robertto]

so no Gaff, Shuey, JK, Lynch, Glass, Hurn, Embley.
notable returns Rosa, Nic Nat, Waters

just eye balling the saints line up the only senior player not there is Gwilt?

 

[Eagle Ant]

I think our forward line will look a little like this:

Hf; Darling, McInness, Nicoski
Ff: Hams, Naitanui, Weedon.

With it being swapped to this during the game

Hf: Swift, Darling, Hill
Ff: Hamp, McInness, Neates.

I rate Big Frazer at FF and think Weedon and Neates have the ability at ground level, so not bad for us to have a look at the Future but to win we will need probably 10 more marks inside 50 then the saints. But I spose time will tell.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Would be very surprised if we won this.

The forward line didn't work last week and don't see it working this week minus Lynch.

But the thing that worries me most is the absence of both Hurn and Glass. You need one of the generals back there and watching Hurn last week up close, he is not shy of barking orders on and off the field.

 

[Prem87]

I agree the Saints will smash us. But it will be a good thing.

I don't know about this. If waters, buttler and a.selwood are playing they should have enough experience and leadership to take over.

We will miss hurns kicking that's for sure.

I see what you're saying, but Vic clubs tend to struggle in 35+ degrees.

Stevenson's in - be interesting whether they try to utilise him like Hurn

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

If it was away, I think we'd get flogged. At home I still think we will have enough.

 

[pantskyle]

Win win win win win win win win win win win................................

 

[robertto]

yep i was thinking "maybe ill go this week", then i pick up the west and see it will be 39C, bugger that.

we'll have a pretty severe advantage given we have been training in the sun at peak times.

 

[footballfreak]

We have a weak inexperienced forward lineup with Mcinnes, Darling, Hamp.

Saints are the favourites

 

[Prem87]

I hope we play Darling either as a true CHF or FF just to see how he goes in the one position.

 

[groga]

I'd also like to see Nat play most of the game but forward. Really gives him a chance to develop more his forward play.
