Preview Round 17, 2023: St.Kilda v Melbourne - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 8th July, 7:25PM AEST *STEELE 150TH*

[kernelT]

Has anyone heard from Cairnsman ?
Sharman and Billing’s both playing

Ayahuasca is a helleva drug.

 

[Diehard Saint]

He is injured
Knee

Thanks. I don’t remember that happening.
Hope not too serious.

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

Really going to miss Hilly's run and Snags work around the ball - he does a lot more than people think.
However, I like the look of this side on paper!!

as a replacement for a Seb Ross late out could be snazzy

 

[Mowman]

Thanks. I don’t remember that happening.
Hope not too serious.

Was reported on ch9 just the one week

 

[Remboy]

JB to kick 12, Jones to have 47 possessions! Bring it on Saints!

 

[Klaatu]

No Hill is going to hurt us more than many predict. He is very important for us.
What happened to Higgo? I didn't realise he was injured?

Zones looked good at VFL, his burst will be helpful. F**k any change up in the mids is good right now.

JB has looked meh at VFL, hope he goes well.

Still reckon we get pumped in the mids, and May/Lever take eleventy billion intercepts, but I'm keen to see those ^ players get a crack, Sharman to hold his spot, and King Cords to get us back playing like we did before he was dropped

I wouldn’t worry about JB he’ll do alright VFL form is not a true indicator as to how players are going especially if you don’t win your own ball, most VFL in Sandy side aren’t helping our AFL players just not the same level of skill.

Sad to say we're getting ****ed like an insecure nursing student after happy hour

 

[Remboy]

Howard more license to run free

So we’re putting him in the midfield this week? Should be fun to watch.

 

[Diehard Saint]

It will be Cordy helping Marshall out not Sharman you would think

Don’t think we’ve lost a game with Cordy playing…is he our barometer?

 

[SaintersUnite]

Melbourne page isn’t happy with their changes.

Hill is the big loss, replacing his K’s in the game will be the issue Jonsey won’t run his K’s too risky injury wise, Woody will & think Byrnes has to play as sub his run in the 2nd half might be telling.

[Diehard Saint]

I dont know why but Im feeling more confident about this game than I was earlier - Go SAINTERS!

Freshening things up a little.
Heaven knows the same old, same old was not always working.
Pity about Hill and Higgo, but I suppose that’s what opens up the spots.

 

[gringo2011]

Hope Gresham stays forward

I don't mind if we need some clearance work when we are getting smashed. He's actually been okay the last couple of weeks.

 

[Murraj1966]

I'm more confident this week than I was last week on a good performance.

Mentally free matchup that nobody expects us to win, Marvel, Saturday night footy so no major prime time, MCG tenant. It has all the signs of a better performance than an expected thumping versus a battler having a terrible season, away from home in Perth.

 

[gringo2011]

Anyone know what's wrong with Hig? Pretty good team in the circumstances.

On FB someone said ongoing knee management for an injury he has been carrying.

I reckon Melbourne don't set up to bring sides undone and play their game. We tend to do better against those sides than ones that set up to come at us.

[Saintos The ITK]

That may be the end of Monty.
Bill won’t get dropped again.

 

[Barrels]

Dees by 11ty-billion.

Just win next week.

 

[bird_man]

Cordy in and Sharman stays in, is it possible Sharman does a forward lockdown role on Lever/May like he did against Stewart last year?

Probably not after what Sicily did to him earlier in the year

 

[saintbill]

Happy with the ins. Disappointing to lose Higgo and Hill.

Hopefully Billings gets a decent run at it. Definitely best 22 IMO. Think he could be dangerous in a half decent side.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Howard more license to run free
I’d pretty much given up on jones but when you see what he can actually do you remember why we need him .
A bit of pace in the midfield.
Just not sure where we’re gonna score - already struggling in that dept with Higgins out .

If Doogs can finally play CHB and not get stuck as the last man in defense it could go a loooong way to clearing up his silly stuff. Personally I'm really looking forward to it.
Jones if he holds up is a great inclusion and JB is next man up despite not really showing form in VFL.
I like it. The team is stale atm.

 

[bird_man]

Sharman v Grundy - phew that's gonna be a tight contest.

Not sure which way it will go, but I will back our superior mids to swing it our way.

Why would Sharman play on Grundy?

 

[The Cobra]

It said on the Saints site it's a knee issue and they expect him to miss one week.

At training last Friday Higgins knee was heavily strapped so not surprised.

Interesting & a bit surprised Ross was named - looked limited at training today.

 

[Holy Hunter Clark]

Probably not after what Sicily did to him earlier in the year

I swear Caminti had that match up, but I was also a few reds deep at the game so my memory of it isn't great
