Preview Round 23, 2021: St.Kilda v Fremantle - Blundstone Arena, Sunday 22nd August, 12:15PM AEST

[Minga]

Is Jack Bytel eligible for a rising star nomination?

Just throwing it out there, say we throw him in the guts for a full game and he has a ripper, could he claim the last nomination?

Alongside that I’ll be looking at Steele to see if he can lay 8 tackles and thus break the home and away tackling record. In fact speaking of Steele, he’s still a brownlow chance so that’ll be interesting.

Sharman will be the other reason I’ll watch this game, quickly becoming one of the stories of our 2021 season.

I'm not even sure when this one is on.

Someone said he's done to the Goldy. If so might as well put the time into Bytel. It would be a good week for him to get 30 possessions.

Suns probably offered Dunny the captaincy as a sweetener.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Hunter Bytel Long in

Byrnes Joyce dunstan and king out

 

[pebblesofsand]

So Bytel to replace Dunstan,
Clav to full back,
Dougal to FF and
Matthew Allison as medical sub to get a run in the 2nd half.

 

[tomjoad]

Well that's that. See 'ya Dunny...enjoy the obscurity and warm climes of the Gold Coast...and stay away from Ben King

IN - Byrnes, Allison
OUT - Ross, Kent

Now the team is perfect for a final loss to Freo and leave us 13th for a better draft pick and see our younger lads in action

 

[saintkildaman]

Long named back pocket, interesting to see where he actually lines up Sunday. Hope Bytel gets decent TOG.

 

[JimmyMann]

Dunstan is certainly out the door now, hopefully Bytel comes out with something to really prove. Feel like rolling out a team in round 23 where around a third aren't even close to best 22 sums up the season, nothing has gone right (both from our own doing and not).

I still can't for the life of me understand how we are odds on favourites to win when we're probably a 50/50 chance of tanking and Freo have so much to play for.

Weird set of changes - this is going to be like that final round against Freo where Joey and Jack Steven both got 45 touches, except the other way around.

 

[Max the great]

How on earth could you tell Byrnes that he's dropped but Kent is playing AFL. This club man I swear to god... Absolutely pathetic

On the ladies who shoot their lunch already settling my nerves for Sunday.

I’d put it down to him having a rest. He’s had a good run, and he’ll get game time next year. Who knows what’s happening with Kent.

Unlikely. They have probably already picked someone with a good body of work all season who hasn't got one yet.

Would need to be an incredible game to snag it at this late stage.

 

[Midfield Gun]

New one year deals for Geary, Wood, Connolly and Sharman

He's looked pretty ordinary lately, probably carrying something.

Couldn't agree more, I know Byrnes looked tired last week but its the last game of the year FFS
Long - Kent before Byrnes PLEASE

 

[Minga]

How bad’s the St.Kilda conditioning, I got the email about team selection from the club and read it as: Bytel breaks back.

And I’m like ****, we cannot catch a break with injuries this season my god!

Agree with that. Freo would have to come out snarling you would think. It wont do the saints reputation much good if we get a toweling up.

I honestly think it's likely, we've clocked off.

I was his only fan by the end and I'm sad that the Dunny has been flushed for the final time. Hopefully by the end of his career they have a new big dunny built outside the Gabba.
