Preview Round 3, 2024: Essendon v St.Kilda - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 30th March, 4:20PM AEDT *HASTIE DEBUT*

[Saint12]

Stocker wouldn't be able to keep up with Merrett. Windy more likely

Id rather see Windy being attacking out of the centre as he was last game

 

[CursingFijian]

Hastie that far off? Say it's not so!

It's not so.

 

[gringo2011]

Really hope he doesn't start as sub. Don't like when the debutants are starting sub.

Not quite as bad as when a player would debut as medi-sub and not get on the field at all. I reckon NWM's debut was like that, family down to watch. Didn't get off the bench. Could be wrong, it happened to one of our young blokes

I loved Hasties highlight videos. Looks like a good player with some tricks. Can't wait to see him play.

Seb Ross the likely tag option for Merrit

I’d forgotten all about Hastie.
Hasn’t been mentioned by the track watchers?

He got a mention the other day.

A good mention????

Who is Tack?

Garcia- he’s a little Hammer

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Is this the same thread

Wow can’t believe it’s Hastie who’s getting the debut. Stoked though!

Maybe they’re debuting them in the order they drafted them…

Seb Ross is too one sided a footballer to play a hard tag imo....stocker is very good on both sides

Did he play well in the VFL?

 

[gringo2011]

Yeah, did some good passages of play.

Did a sterling job on De Goey last week.

Kind of a moot point anyway, it's been about groups since zones were a thing, so you'll have guys like Seb, Stocker, Windy and co all standing Merret at any single time, better to go head to head anyway.

You kind of underrate Seb also, he runs with the best quite often and he's also well rounded to work smarter so there's a reason he is still around whilst others that were with him are no longer around.

Reckon I could do a job on JDG atm...still hung over lol. Anyway not a slight on Seb id just like to see Stocker on Merritt.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Thanks. Just seems to have come out of the blue that’s all. Does he play wing? Would be fantastic if he takes this opportunity and has a blinder.

 

[Hubnester]

Happy for Hastie, didn't know enough to even consider him a remote possibility to be honest. Thought one of Arie or Garcia for sure would get a call up. Well done to the lad, hope he goes well!

What do you mean

 

[Plugger35]

He's good enough to play a run with role to curb the influence of an opposition midfielder while still being attacking for us the other way.

I wouldn't want to see him playing purely as a tagger though, he's too good for that.

 

[sunny3193]

It's not so.

Surely you must be joking.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

What do you mean

There’s two

Did you see that I found the original video for your avi?

I get that....more meaning maybe have Stocker the majority of time on him. Rate Seb enormously but don't think he'd be up to that job.
