Round 24 Team

Rest Marshall & Phillipou, long season for them for differing reasons.
And if Hill & Sharman are sore, then.

B. Webster Cordy Wilkie
H.B. Coffield Battle NWM
C. Owens Clark Wood
H.F. Butler Hayes Membrey
F. Caminiti King Higgins
Foll. Campbell Steele Crouch
I/C. Gresham, Heath, Sinclair, Windhager

You don't rest any of them , they get a bye before finals.
While in form keep it rolling - win this game and we will be playing our first final at Marvel.
The only thing is who comes into to take Seb's spot.

 

[The Punter]

Caminiti is into concussion protocol after the VFL game last weekend and is unavailable for selection this weekend.

If there's anyone still out there doubting our right to play finals they should take in these stats.
Against the 10 teams we've been realistically contending with for a spot in the bottom half of the eight our results are-
Win/Loss
Sydney 1-0
GWS 1-0
Dogs 1-0
Essendon 1-0
Cats 1-0
Freo 1-0
Carlton 1-1
Richmond 1-1
Suns 1-1
Crows 0-1

So that's 9-4 overall so the knockers can all stfu.

We are 0-4 against the top 4 with some competitive losses. That for me tells me we are exactly where we deserve to be.

Imagine thinking form can be flicked on and off

No resting anyone, put the best side out there, try win the game, get the week off and load up again

Almost like a rest before finals is exactly what they brought the pre-finals bye in for or something eh

Yes, but if we purposely throw the game against Lions, imagine the fire we’ll be breathing two weeks later!!

That's a very, very good point. I forgot to note the angry factor. It's huge in modern day footy.

Hopefully we lose so we're angry for the elimination final, win that, and then lose the semi so we're super duper angry for 2024

That's some 5D mind f*CK brilliance right there.
Has anyone ever made a statue of an idea?
It is worthy of contemplation.

I’m greedy. Want a home final guaranteed.
Play to win.

Another day another brilliant, genius idea

Oh what a surprise. Sydney players gets suspension overturned for electing to hit a players head and breaking his cheek bone and is able to play finals.

Shock horror.

Such a pro organisation.

 

[jwikked]

Shouldn’t be resting anyone
We have a bye after the lions game
Should be doing everything we can to win it and build some momentum

Yes the last thing we need right now is to get spanked by a top 2 side heading into finals. We need to continue to believe we belong.

Plus it is not like we have been flying for a long string of games.

The Cats we played 4 quarters. The Blues only a half. Other games mixed.

We are still building. This is no time to go into cruise mode.

Wait…are you saying the ladder doesn’t lie?

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Ins: Campbell, Coffield, Hayes, Heath.

Outs:

Hill-give his dodgy knee a two week rest.

Marshall- rest him, the most important player on our list, don't wanna lose him before the finals in a dead rubber. Well, do need to try & get the home final advantage.

Phillipou-still 18y.o, played every game-give him a 2 week rest.

Ross-injured.

Of course it can. 2004 St Kilda wins 10 in a row then went to the movies...
On then off...

 

[puntking]

The way to beat lions is with pace and fast ball movement which we have atm look at hawkes and GC and how they beat them

I think hill and Roma may be worth a rest but we've carried Pou through the whole season. Ain't resting him now just as things start getting good! He'll play every game imo.
