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

[BucketsandBanger]

If we're being fair, blooding the kids was one of his KPI's for a new contract so it's been said. I think old mate Lethers probably gets the credit if there is any...

Fair enough if that is true.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Like I mentioned. The Collingwood comeback was a prime example. Pendles doesn’t yell at players but he knew the game plan well enough to initiate a counter attack

The 'Pendles Game Winning Strategy' is such a load of fluff.

Essendope had 3 chances on that play to kill the ball & win the game... topped off my the softest attempt to spoil a mark that I've ever seen from Langford.

The dopers stuffed up... Pendles' plan should have been stopped at the kick out.

I guess. But I also feel like we would have chosen to kick directly to a pack of Essendon supporters if it was us. Big Douglas taking the kick out and roosting it down the centre

 

[Remboy]

To me his perfect role is the old follower. That means a midfielder in the rucking role. Follows the ball around the ground apart from inside 50 unless the other ruck is off the ground.

Like what Jim Stynes used to do.

The only way I could see it working is a handshake deal that he retires upon another injury. That will open an SPP or MSD spot, otherwise no dice..

Hannerbery will be 32 next year and I wouldn't have him on the list.
We are now needing to get games into guys like Clark , Windhager , Owens , Coffield , Bytel , Milera and most probably a couple more in the draft and having him fill a spot is taking game time away from one of the kids.

O'k if he can lift us to get to finals well and good but really this should be his last year.

Our side next year

Paton - Howard - Wilkie
Sinclair - Battle - Coffield
Milera - Steele - Amon
Windhager - Hayes - Butler
Higgins - King - Membery

Marshall - Crouch - DeGoey

Owens / Sharman / Clark / Hill / Gresham / Billings / Ross / Briggs / Jones / McKenzie / Webster / Long / Wood


position the players where you wish
but this to me would be our go to 31

 

[sasaint]

Rowan Marshall career games: 82, games kicking at least 3 goals: 0

Jack Hayes career games: 5, games kicking at least 3 goals: 1

Tom Campbell career games: 55, games kicking at least 3 goals: 1

Marshall has some forward craft and can be a wonderful, long kick for goal at times. He's never put it together in a game, however. I'd probably be splitting the ruck/forward/bench times between Marshall and Campbell 50/50 to start, and then see who is playing better in the ruck and move forward accordingly.

How good was Jack Hayes as a late selection. He as pretty handy around the ground as well. Very nice add back into the 2023 lineup.

 

[gringo2011]

I reckon he's better than adequate, but he hasn't really played the position regularly for a while. He used to destroy his opponent fairly regularly.

I don't think his tap work is very directed. His best performances are grabbing the ball himself and kicking out of the centre. He reminds me of Hickey in the tap work he does and he's got better with age. He is sort of under exploited IMO, there are the traits to make him a star and he's not there yet.

Fantasy question here.

How bad is Gresham’s knee?

So you're saying we'll secure the services of the remaining top 2 free agents then. Oke doke..

Timmy’s 150th - well done Members!
( 149 for us.)

32 years old 15 games out of 80 odd games and we want him on the list next year ? Let’s move on a couple of 20 year olds and keep Hannebery it would be so Stkilda

Sooner he is gone the Better

Thanks for being a top bloke.

Riewoldt had a go at us playing Hannebury last night on Fox. As a pundit, he sure makes a great Centre Half Forward.

Seem's he never says a good word about the team.

So you're saying we'll secure the services of the remaining top 2 free agents then. Oke doke..

I don't know but they will secure a couple players for certain , Dunkley , Hopper , Taranto , DeGoey , Amon will all not go to Carlton , Bombers , Hawks or Cats.

They have let been known they are after players to fill the gaps in our list - who that is who knows but they have talked to DeGoey and Amon and we are more than a chance to get both.

If you're too lazy to read the news sites about player injuries, you deserve to suck at your play plays.
After Google, try a fantasy forum. People on there might give two shits.

 

[Sainter1873]

Thanks for being a top bloke.

Done for the year unfortunately. Had worked very hard to get fit after the Achilles injury early last year and was looking good this year.

 

[RBW_007]

Thanks for being a top bloke.

Seriously. There are multiple articles on his injury.

Put him in it’s only a one weeker.
Then, get a job.

 

[Sainter1873]

If Campbell is playing then I’d hope it’s mostly forward. Marshall is much better in the ruck. Neither are very good key forwards so I don’t really understand the decision.

Would much prefer Owens.

 

[browncow]

Checked AFL.com and injury list. Nothing

Just thought I’d go to ‘the source’. But cheers.

“check google” definitely one word less of your time than saying “ out for season”.

Top bloke.

Essendon on the other hand....
