Preview Round 15, 2019: St.Kilda v Richmond - Marvel Stadium, Sunday 30th June, 1:10PM AEST *MADDIES MATCH*

[The Jack]

Anyone know what's gone wrong with Webster's injury?

 

[Saint Watto]

Overall, the group trained pretty well. Very energetic and vocal which was good. I'm sensing a competitive for 3 quarters then fall away in the last effort coming on.

A great report there BrutThough.

It certainly has lifted my spirits a little.....after watching last Sat night.....it's been a tough week so far.

My emotion towards the Saints is nearly running on empty.

 

[Saint Shags]

Kent out for the season??

 

[Saint Shags]

 

[Mindtraveller]

Bring on the D

 

[The Jack]

Sounds like Newnes is out.

 

[Saint Shags]

About time

 

[BrutThough]

Sounds like Newnes is out.

I just hope that means Armo isnt still in.

 

[Saint Shags]

I just hope that means Armo isnt still in.

Wonder who comes in.
Who do we actually have that can and is fit?

 

[John Bonney]

Armitage out
Coffield in.

 

[Premium]

Newnes needs to be dropped , his form warrants it.
Armitage is past his used by date and you can't hide him on a half back flank because whoever he is on will cut us to bits.
Marsh is another who could get the chop and of course Kent.
Coffield , Paton , White in and hopefully Steele is ready to go.

We bring the effort and pressure we will not be out of giving it to Richmond - play like the last 3 weeks and we will get beaten.

About time

Newnes' streak dates back to round one, 2014, the first match of coach Alan Richardson's tenure at the Saints.

Interesting.

 

[bergholt]

I'd still drop Armo. Newnes, Armo, Kent out; I'd bring in Langlands, Paton, White. Time to go full tank.

 

[AFLOnline]

good bye Jill, you won't be missed

 

[BrutThough]

I'd still drop Armo. Newnes, Armo, Kent out; I'd bring in Langlands, Paton, White. Time to go full tank.

We still need to put in a good effort this week.
Would be a disservice to the Riewoldt name to do anything less.

I just hope that means Armo isnt still in.

If Armitage plays , I will twist off - McCarthy was going through a form slump until Armitage played on him , AFL is past him.

 

[BrutThough]

If Armitage plays , I will twist off - McCarthy was going through a form slump until Armitage played on him , AFL is past him.

You can sense the players are fed up with him during games as well. He had a great 2015 but he is well and truly past it.

 

[Cornish]

Maybe Bubbles will get a gig or Long or Young, frigged if i know whos left.

If we can have a couple players that can win in there positions it will totally change the way we play - the thing is we havn't had a game winner apart from Billings against the Suns.

A key match up to me would be Wilkie on Lynch and I would put McKenzie on Martin if Steele is still out.

We need Marshall , Billings , Hannebery , Carlisle , Gresham to have good games and of course goals from Bruce and Membery for us to have a chance.

 

[tomjoad]

I reckon the players know Richo's coaching like the back of their hand by now so reverting to his game plan is like putting on your favourite old slippers. Might even get some results with the tried and tested Saints Footy

When one of the smartarse assistant coaches try to switch things up, it usually ends up in confusion and failure. Think Kingsley last year. We do obviously need to change, but there will be a transition period where the players struggle to play the new plays in sync with each other. Right now we're balls deep into a transition period.

Like if you got a small town marching band that had only been playing Advance Australia Fair on repeat for the last 10 years and gave them the sheet music to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Bugger, why didn't we START with Bohemian Rhapsody? For a team balls deep in transitioning, it would've made for a good parade number...let's face it Advance Australia fair would only entice the wrong demographic.

Maybe Bubbles will get a gig or Long or Young, frigged if i know whos left.

Never know , would of gave more effort than most who played last week.

I don't believe in religion but I'll pray this week for Acres to have a standout game - we need someone to come good.
even Dunstan to make a stand

 

[pebblesofsand]

Forgot - Sunday game - so its a squad

In Everyone that's fit

Out Everyone that's injured

 

[Jade Buddha]

I just hope that means Armo isnt still in.

Sad but agree, he looks like he’s ready to play the seniors circuit.

 

[Pardon me]

Admittedly for Armo he was playing in the backline where he should never be allowed.

 

[jwikked]

Steele is back! Perfect!
