Preview Round 24, 2023: Brisbane v St.Kilda - Gabba, Saturday 26th August, 4:35PM AEST

[The Cobra]

Bailey Smith illness. Seems to have had a few this year.

Complex character- suggest tread carefully

 

[Veer Right]

I guess Hayes is in to counter Harris Andrews at full back. Just need strength down there.

I wonder if it's partly strategic resting King so Andrews doesn't have a good matchup. So happy to see Hayes get a run.

Ross running laps with Jones, would confirm minor hammy.

Overheard Caminiti talking to some ordinary punters today - very respectful and certainly not a big head- good young man!

Max has had some really good moments against Andrews in the past without really taking him to the cleaners.

Oh well, will have to wait until Sept 30

No one was allergic to the thought of King being “rested.”
Strange post especially as in actual fact he isn’t.
They are managing his shoulder in a relatively meaningless game and protecting further injury before the real season begins ( as RTB refers to it.) Very good player management.

Nobody else is being rested - exactly how it should be with a bye week afterwards. Don’t flirt with form we’ve just re-discovered.

Sorry mate, I think you're twisting a few things here. Firstly, people definitely were against resting players. Secondly, "managed" and "rested" are one and the same, i.e. they would be playing if they really had to. I was FOR resting/managed as it's good player management!

Frankly, your post is strange. You say it's "actual fact" that he isn't rested, then go one to say "nobody else is being rested". Takes a bit to get me defending myself haha, but that post was full of BS. Sorry again mate.

 

[Oh When the Saints]

How good was the drive-by from The Boss on the Lions. Quick clean double tap, bang bang. "They're potentially a great team, they've got a lot of talent. But my boys work really hard and we've got a really good system, so we'll see where it takes us."

"Potentially great". The master at work.

Great to see Hayes included as he is a solid performer who contests and could be a X factor up forward and rucking in the finals.

If Hayes plays finals he could be the relief ruck for Ro, allowing Ro to rest up forward. Extra height up forward in the finals could be a difficult match up for any opposition. Owens and other who have been used in the ruck can concentrate on their primary roles.

King to be managed at this time means that he won't play for 3 weeks. Coming into the finals that's not ideal, however he must need the break.

All very good but it really means King won’t play for two weeks. A week off, the bye, then he plays. Otherwise any time a player misses a single game during the season it’s two weeks off. Or to take the crazy perspective for the point of argument, every player had a week off begeeen games, when that’s not the way we describe it, we just say “they play the next week”.

Yep, I am against resting players - but Max is not being rested.
Rested means giving your players, usually the stars, a break.
Ross did this many years ago when he rested half the team (before the pre finals break was a thing).

He IS being managed - or rather his shoulder is - but if he didn’t have a shoulder currently held together by tape no doubt he would have been playing. His being managed due to this, is a good thing.

There IS a difference.

According to Champion Data. Mitch Owens is the #1 contested possession player between the 50s (in general play) in the competition.

Attacks the leather like his dinner depends on it. True animal spirit.

It's simple - they want Max's shoulder to make it to Week 1 of finals.

I would have thought it pretty prudent to protect a young, key forward wearing #12 from unwanted physical attention against Brisbane at the Gabba.

Hayesy in would mean Members must be on notice to hit the scoreboard. Finals spots up for grabs.
