Preview Round 20, 2022: St.Kilda v Hawthorn - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 30th July, 4:35PM AEST

[Mowman]

Give the guy a break, has had a rotten run of luck with injury since coming to the club but done his all to get back out there including paying for his own trip to Munich this year. Has made it back to the VFL and been our best player two weeks in a row, he deserves a crack.

Give him a break and he paid for his own trip to Munich Please
15 games out of 81 at 800k a year StKilda have done more than enough for Hanners
Follow the club not Hannas be happy when he is off the list

 

[Mowman]

We don't need him. The only way it makes any sense would be Marshall is going to be a late out or something.

Do you think he deliberately got injured? What does it matter how much money we've paid him?

Every time he has played for the club he has shown exactly why we picked him up, if he is fit and available now then why wouldn't we play him if we want to win?

We have lost 2 mid types through injury. Hannebery has been the best mid over the past 2 weeks at Sandy. He deserves to be selected off the back of that, especially when we are still in the finals race.

His contract is absolutely irrelevant when it comes to his selection this week.

 

[gringo2011]

Campbell is a ridiculous selection.
The ruck isn’t a major Hawks strength, weakened further with Reeves out.

Marshall clearly performs best as a stand alone first ruck. He needs to be challenged in the position and play on the edge.
We also need as much run as we can get.

That is Roma thrives and grows into the position.
That’s the main reason I’m hoping Ryder retires, as he’ll never be a back up ruck in the VFL yet he is stifling Marshall.
Ryder is far too good for, and shouldn’t have to play at the lower level but he is papering cracks & holding back Marshall’s Alpha potential.

I’m hoping they make a late change and bring in a runner, hopefully Owens, in for Campbell. A 5-7 minute chop out per quarter by a rotation of players is more than enough respite for Roma and allows him to take the ruck bull by the horns.

Marshall to defence?

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Campbell is a mistake. I think we will see that. Absolute beast in the VFL but just too slow for AFL. Need Marshall to step up.

Owens for Campbell late change would be good

Marshall to defence?

More hope of sinclair playing ruck.

Isn’t the club picking him as a player and not what he is earning? Again rather owens but it just shows how average our leadership is.

Marshall to defence?

Might play a ruck behind the ball with our lack of height down back

So happy Tambells in.

He has played defence in the past and without Howard we might need some height. It would make some sense of bringing in Campbell.

Seriously has had a great VFL season and deserved to be rewarded at some point.

More likely to address our lack of height up forward.

 

[Saintbloke]

Big Tom gets a game because there's no substitute for bulk deep forward or deep back, it's not about speed, and I reckon RoMa is carrying a little leg injury and although he rucked most of the WCE game, he probably can't hold up the ruck two weeks in a row and will need to rest in the forward half for some of the game.

We didn’t play against west coast so it makes no sense to play him against north. When has he played defence. I honestly don’t remember but what I do remember is players who are good in one position shouldn’t be played in another. Sharman is exactly what you should try. One struggling in one is tried in another.

I reckon his VFL form was good but not as good as made out. Josh Kennedy gets to VFL and is racking up 37 possessions and they say he'll struggle to break back in. His 2 games at the end of last season were pretty average games. Something like 19 and 21 possessions.

I thought we were vulnerable down back last week.

I just hope he is fit and ready for AFL
thought i read he has played 60 mins and 80 mins at Sandy so hasn't played a full game of VFL yet
seems desperate not even a full VFL game

 

[jwikked]

Hanners in - I like it. A lot.

I can see it now:
King Hannebery repays the team that gave him every chance to get fit and play by single handedly leading this team to their first Grand Final win in over 55 years.
Retires a St Kilda legend.

Was still our best mid in those two games. Why should the better performed mid miss out in favour of players he outperformed?

 

[plugger66]

I thought we were vulnerable down back last week.

Darling and Kennedy only kicked 2 each. Happy with 4 from the hawks talls.

 

[Hayes4PM]

It's Hannebery time, the flag tilt begins now

 

[BrutThough]

I thought we were vulnerable down back last week.

We did at times with JJK but Wilkie got on top of him as the game went on. But one of the main reasons we couldn't capitalise on our first quarter dominance was our lack of a 2nd option beyond King. Maybe if we were able to capitalise on that dominance more, the impact of JJK and Darling wouldn't have mattered as much.

It just seems more likely we would bring in a 2nd ruck to add another forward target to go with the structure we have used most of the season rather than to have an additional tall down back.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I thought he went well in his prior afl game as well.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Yea you can pencil in a loss now

Poor Gears. St Kilda are going to let him down one last time
