Preview Round 13, 2019: Gold Coast v St.Kilda - Riverway Stadium, Saturday 15th June, 1:45PM AEST *NICK HIND DEBUT*

[VDS66]

You would assume that Coff is safe then, if that is the case.

Ins: Marsh
Acres
Clark
Paton
White/Hind

Out: Joyce
Young
Phillips
Geary
Steele

Is Steele injured? Ouch just caught up.

Coff should be dropped.

Is Steele injured?

Coff should be dropped.

Dislocated his knee cap at training. Announced his retirement on the spot

 

[The_Steadier]

Obviously terrible news but good chance for some one to step up.

I agree.

I actually think it's a real chance for someone to really stamp themselves as a fulltime mid.

God knows we have a million candidates currently playing hf,hb and on the wing- all of which are fit/mature enough now to play onball all game.

And it will force a big adjustment to our midfield dynamic (ie not playing a run with/negating type)

I'd personally throw billings and/or sinclair in the centre square this week in steeles spot.
Or stuff it- even benny long and/or parker for longer stretches on ball.

Or even jimmy webster in the middle.

Or of course the goat

Our midfield is putrid and has been for years-
We have experimented a bit this year bringing in gresh and billings into the rotation.... but we should be shuffling things far more.

Our midfield get smacked every week regardless- may as well explore all possibilities.

 

[Plugger35]

FMD we just can't take a trick when it comes to injuries this year, Steele has been one of our few consistent and reliable performers as well.

Would be handy if Steven or Hannebery was available to replace him but I guess they are still weeks away or indefinite.

The forgotten man Armitage would be the logical replacement as an inside mid but I've got no idea what his form or fitness is like.

I think Coff stays due to 3 forced injury changes plus Young and Joyce being terrible.

He cannot move. Crazy to play

 

[John Bonney]

Bring Armo in.

 

[triggering bro]

GOAT to the gutz?

 

[joop]

I think Young will actually stay in, who would replace him?

Richo dislikes this.

 

[plugger66]

Acres can. They have enough small forwards. He is terrible. Not that anyone here picks the side but he is the perfect example of people who hardly watch sandy wanting him in for no reason but being a new player. He is playing as badly as he was playing at sandy. It was a strange pick as he didn’t deserve a game.

 

[BrutThough]

I think Young will actually stay in, who would replace him?

anyone. playing him is essentially playing one player short

 

[Ekomaira]

Steele knee??

 

[triggering bro]

Steele knee??

Dislocated knee cap. Google says 6 weeks

 

[saintkildaman]

Armo time

 

[SaintsSeptember]

So Phillips, Geary and Steele are all confirmed outs, and Marsh, Acres and DMac all but confirmed back in
Plus Young is terrible and Joyce isn't needed with Marsh back.
So 5 changes probably means Coffield keeps his spot.

Steele - Clark
Geary - DMac
Joyce - Marsh
Young - Acres
Phillips - White/Webster with Newnes going back to the wing full time.

Oh rejoice. :/

Steele - Clark 13 disposals instead of 25. ( 5 contested ).
Geary - DMac 10 disposals instead of 20.
Joyce - Marsh Some upside.
Young - Acres Lots of upside .
Phillips - White/Webster with Newnes going back to the wing full time. Time for White to make a statement, he was ordinary last year, lets see improvement.

We're going to get smacked in the middle. Massive game for Gresham and Dunstan.

 

[The Punter]

Updated proposed changes:

McKenzie for Geary
Marsh for Joyce
Acres for Phillips
Clark for Steele

But I would still also play King ahead of Young.

 

[plugger66]

Dislocated knee cap. Google says 6 weeks

Are we using google as our doctor. Club is stuffed. Obviously haven’t even got money for doctors.

 

[Plugger35]

I think Young will actually stay in, who would replace him?

A witches hat could replace him and we probably wouldn't notice the difference.

Out: R Young

In: W Hat

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I wonder if McKenzie could play the midfield tagging role. He wouldn't damage the other way like Steele, but he has the speed and probably the tank.

 

[hangdog]

Too many small forwards. Another mid or back

Don't knock Dr Google, he cured my impotence and he bulk bills!!!
( Ok it was actually Nurse Bing who cured my impotence ).

Just an indication for us fans until the club identities extent of injury & recovery timeframe. Nice melt, though.

 

[VDS66]

If Young plays then we are tanking.

Even Long is on thin ice.

No let’s keep it simple. Clark or acres can play mid. Don’t think tagging is an issue this week. Not often 44 players can just play on their own. Shows where both lists are
