Game Day Round 18 vs. Geelong, MCG, 7:40pm Friday 12/07

[Kes1984]

Dean has fallen out of favour, it seems. I get it though.

Ash too after his last game. 5 in the VFL, no Checkers. If he was ever getting a game it was this week.

I’m ok with selections.

 

[danielnajdek]

Best we can pick atm with the players we have available.

 

[Kes1984]

Glad JFN has only missed the one game. Out concussions tend to miss two!

Think it depends on symptoms and how close the games are together, he had no symptoms so was able to get through the protocols fairly quick

Sub between Harrison or Richards? McInnes has to start as a taller option,,,

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

sen & others making such a big deal about Billy coming straight back in after 10 weeks.

Ashcroft & Melksham came straight back in after a year...!

No point playing him in the VFL so I don't get why it's such a big deal.

 

[stormskye]

Geel have an unchanged line up. Been awhile since we’ve seen that..

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Neither do I. Probably because it was sections of the media saying Billy's foot was falling off & he was going to retire due to this injury.

Think the dinosaurs were still around.

Morris is a real prick for reporting bullshit

Yup, between the two smalls. Was always most likely gonna be the case.

Someone on the radio today suggested it was desperation, same as McStay coming back. No way they'd be coming back so soon otherwise, etc.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Dean dropped is a good move. Sieve

Moore is the sieve

Dean shouldn’t be getting dropped. He needs some consistency.

No idea what we’re doing around selection this season.

Baffling stuff

Yes, I was listening to that too.

I think that's a regular Saints supporter caller. He'd know all about desperation. And a real 'know all' who gets it wrong so often.

I loved how many called in after him saying they were now more confident about us winning tomorrow night as he he had written us off last year too.

 

[manicpie]

it would be nice if reef has some sort of break out game. He's almost due. Reef has a lot of ability but it's time to make your mark

He debuted against Geelong in 2022, good game to have a breakout game

 

[mumblingpie]

I’m not a big fan of him but I don’t get the Dean omission, clearly needs games and confidence bloody just play em

No match up for him I'm assuming, given Geelong only have 2 real talls... they prob feel Moore/Frampton can take care of it.

When you get subbed out the game prior, it leaves you vulnerable to being dropped

 

[Kes1984]

Geel have an unchanged line up. Been awhile since we’ve seen that..

Would be interesting to know the last game we had no changes

Hopefully they let him float up the ground a bit or attend a centre bounce, rather than starve in the forward line. Rotate him and degoey or something.

Match-Ups

Surely it's time that Moore goes to Cameron, and leads by example?

Seems like Cat's most dangerous forward option...

Bruz can take Rohan and niggle until Rohan snaps, resulting in a 6 week ban,,,
JFK can take Stengle, and just run full speed in unknown directions, and at least keep up to speed
IQ to Miers - IQ's will ask if Miers has the same toe injury, causing him to kick like he does
WHE to Mannagh - the Hyphen will explain that Werribee sewage farm is just down the road, and based on the size of WHE's nose, he can't smell a thing
Billy F to take Neale - Same Size - same limitations

It's all about the match-ups,,,,

 

[TradeDraft]

Great to see Long named on the Field

Time to deliver, Pies!
