Preview Round 17, 2021: Brisbane v St.Kilda - Metricon Stadium, Saturday 10th July, 7:25PM AEST

[SaintBilly]

I'd also bring back Joyce for this game since they play 3 talls in Daniher, Hipwood and McStay.

also apparently Jones might be ok to play again.

I hope we give him a managed run in the VFL before bringing him straight back in.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Lions will be a huge test. But given the way they play and the way we have played the last few weeks, there's a fair chance the MRO officer will be busy on Sunday.

Looks like FTA on Saturday night.

 

[Saint_Dos]

Sounds like he was given reason's why he was not in the side and he has fought back and proved he is more than good enough - will be very surprised if he is at the club next year.

The thing is if we can gain from losing him - would he be a best a late 2nd round pick as a free agent and would Billings be a early 2nd round pick.
Really if that is what they are worth I would want them to stay.

Would prefer to keep Billings for anything less than a first rounder (which I doubt we will get)
End of 2nd is probably about right given Dunstan's form.
Not sure he will want to stay so may be good enough.

Hell of a lot better than what I thought we would get for him at the start of the year which was nothing.
Would still prefer him to stay given what he is producing at the moment

 

[Saint_Dos]

Absolutely.
Give him a half game this week and a full game the week after.

Dont mind the idea of Joyce coming in for Connolly. Still feel we are a touch short down back and if we play against teams who separate their fwds we could be in strife. That or they play Battle back, but i doubt that is in Ratts' plans, in which case he should get a run at CHF or on ball at Sandy.

Fully expect Joyce to come in this week to help with the talls the Lions have , Daniher 2.0m , McStay 1.95m and Hipwood 2.03m.

 

[SaintBilly]

Saturday night. Probably at the Gabba. Don’t know for sure yet.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Every team is beatable. Lions no exception.

Out: Connelly
In: Battle

Aggression needs to be there from the start.

I know Billings is playing injured but I
am not sure we can afford to take him into this game. Rest him for the next week.

who is coming out ?

 

[SaintBilly]

who is coming out ?

Connolly makes sense.

 

[Mowman]

Connolly makes sense.

So backline Howard - Wilkie - Highmore - Joyce ?

 

[KingsRansom]

So backline Howard - Wilkie - Highmore - Joyce ?

Then Sinclair and webster.

Not too bad

 

[SaintersUnite]

Why Joyce and not Clav? Surely he’d be the better fit.

According to the 2nds report Joyce had a outstanding game.
Then again they can just bring Battle back into the team.

I thought Joyce was better in the games he played than Clav was.

I agree, would like Clav to have another crack

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Should it matter if we are the real deal?

It shouldn’t but we’re not the real deal yet. So I’d rather get lucky and sneak into finals. We can have a proper honourable finals run later. I’ll take whatever we can get this year

Why does the AFL website have us playing in NSW on Saturday night?

Better than the GABBA... AFL doing us a solid?


Did Cameron give us a bath last time? Webster feels like a good match up for Charlie. If we can force him to only kick set shots we should be laughing.

Cameron only kicked 1 last time from a lucky free kick on the boundary. Paton did a great job on him.

Hipwood had a lot of shots on goal but luckily missed them all.

And Harris Andrews dominated. Will be a big test for King.

lol, strange choice? I’d presume some country ground then?

Still think putting games in orange zones when there’s other options is playing with fire

Possibly the year before. I have horrifying memories of him kicking a bag and leaving defenders clutching at air.

Weirdly i feel like we match up alright on them mostly. Andrews, Zorko and one of McStay, Daniher and Hipwood are the concerns. Patty and Roma should have a field day.
