What role will savage play? General down back or midfield

Half back flank. He & Jimmy Webster would be our 2 quarterback type distributors from defence

Is that the role he played last year when he was gathering 25+ possessions? Or was he playing mid

 

[TheJackal]

Lonie is slightly different to Neade in that he'll be more involved in the play and his use of the ball will be needed up front.

I believe Lonie is an elite user and decision maker. And when I say user to a West Coast supporter, I'm talking of the footy.

He may be slight, but he has the smarts and skills to make an impact in a St Kilda team which struggles to hit targets away from a half dozen elite few.

He was doing that at in the backline. Is now ready to become the greatest HB the game has ever seen.

What do you guys think about Lee? Not sure He warrants selection but needs a decent run of games some time this year IMO to see whether He can deliver or not.

Should I answer this for everyone?

 

[King_Steele]

Jake Neade? WTF? His scoring was terrible. Hopefully will turn into a good player but his first year score wise was deplorable.

I'm talking about the similar weight division.

Beg your pardon. Missunderstood. Sorry!

So half forward mid? Would have thought he'd be to slight or not fit enough for mid role? Can you elaborate please Rahul?

Hope I am not intruding but didn't want to start a new thread so thought I would post here.
Received an email from Fasttix this morning offering free tickets to the game against GWS.
This is a legitimate site.

Took a long time, very slow start, lot of 30s etc IIRC

If you dont like lonie for sc dont pick him! Simple!
He'll score better than neade did.

 

[borderbarry]

I was quite pleased with the form of Jack Sinclair, especially against Hawthorn. The majority of people who picked teams ignored him and picked Templeton and others instead.
And dont be surprised if one of the three rookies upgraded is not Holmes. His leap and mature body would go well against GWS's big ruckman.

He will play half forward but will be involved in lots of the play on the flank. Not big or strong enough to play midfield. Not yet at least. A concern for sure with our midfield's inability to win the footy, and I think his role will be contested between a few even players.

@Stevo7AFL: Leigh Montagna a big chance to get up for R1 ... Pushing hard to be back ahead of time from knee inj

Like your playlist, Defacto.
Just curious, no Saad?
Would have thought he'd have impressed more than Minchie, for example.

Fair point. I am a bit biased against saad and i noticed that he didn't spend any time in the middle where as Minch was played mainly in the midfield

If Minchie gets the nod I really hope he has a cracker.
He's got Saunders breathing down his neck for a spot in the guts, not to mention Joey coming back.
Gotta love the competition for spots, huh?

 

[Persevering Saint]

This is what I'm hearing... believe it or not (And no, the surprise isn't that Joey will play Round 1. You'll know it when you see it...).

Riewoldt on a wing? I like it. But I would also like to see McCartin up forward instead of Lee if Roo was to play up the ground.

Yep, that's absolutely a possibility. I'm not hearing who replaces him in the forward line - I chucked Lee in there, but it could just as easily be Paddy, White, who knows.

But yeah... Roo the midfielder.
