Preview Round 5, 2022: St.Kilda v Gold Coast - Marvel Stadium, Saturday 16th April, 1:45PM AEST

[malevu]

Hayes is proven at the level (okay, small sample) but I'd rather him than Campbell simply because you know what you're getting. Hayes is a tough nut who could kick 3 goals. That'll do me at Marvel.

Great to see the footage of Zac training on AFL Tonight. Looks in good physical shape.

I reckon even we had to play with the same team we fielded on the weekend all year we could finish top 6, so how good will it be to be able to add Zac in particular back into the mix if he does in fact return.

He’s such a weapon when he’s up and going.

Mckenzie to play Websters roll for me.Hayes or Campbell do we look at their strengths or back Hayes and Marshall to outplay em over 4 quarters

I just hope it doesn't equate to less midfield minutes for Sinclair. He adds all of the class and power running our midfield has been searching for in the last 3 years.

I love Jones ability to burst from stoppage, but I certainly haven't missed his errant disposal.

I hope DMac never goes back to that roll

Sincs didnt have any midfield time on the week but was still BOG.

Reckon hes a better player now

Out: Ryder
In: Lade





Might be two suspended ruckman in as many weeks

 

[Mowman]

Reckon hes a better player now

Yes because he isn't playing his old role

 

[gringo2011]

Yes because he isn't playing his old role

He went back in one game for a bit and didn't look like the deer in the headlights that he used to be.

would prefer we bring in Connolly for webster

Yeah though Batchelor hasn’t sounded that happy with his progress in the twos

IMO Jones’s kicking issues are significantly overstated. He can definitely butcher it occasionally, but most of the time he’s pretty clean and he can do some terrific bullet passes inside 50.

In some of his best games he’s gone at a very high DE for someone playing on the inside and his turnover numbers have been low.

It’s pretty much a non-issue for me.

Explained it better than me ,thanks,looks a better rounded player than he was,never a fan but holding his spot

Agreed. There's also been a significant improvement to his kicking over his two years with us. Steele, Crouch, Gresham, Ross and Jones looks like a pretty solid midfield. Hard to see Clark getting back in there now despite his strong pre season.

Sincs will go through there too having a lot options is what we want
Windhager was a centre bounces on the weekend

Where'd you find TOG stats? I'd be shocked if he didn't spend a minute playing through the wings

He definitely didn't go through the middle. Above are the centre bounce attendance percentages for the year. I'm sure he didn't go through the wings wither. Wood, NWM and McKenzie were going through the wings all day. Sinclair was definitely at half back all day.

I thought it looked like he was getting a bit of panic back in his game when he was pushed back imo

 

[AirWinmar]

With Ryder and Jweb out team selection will be tricky.

Higgins will be close to definite to come back in.

With JWeb out our backline from last week will be: Doogs, Battle, Wilkie, Paton, Sincs.

Potential backline players - Dmack, Long, Ross, NWM

I wouldn't mind rotating Ross and NWM off the half back flank to cover JWebs spot and when Sincs will rotate thru the mids, which I'd expect him to do with Witts rucking.

Being that Hayes didn't play at any level last week and Campbell was our best for Sandy, id bring Campbell in.

Hopefully we don't lose any more

My bad. I guess he seemed to have a lot of it between the arcs.

Would be shocked if we moved Wang back there and there is of course Hill who would be an easy option to move back. Hope we stick with him forward though.

If we want to keep Windy in and Higgo returns and no-one else is unavailable then Higgo could just take Hill’s spot and Hill could return to defense.

I really hope we stick with Hill on hf / wing.

I reckon NWM could go very well off hbf - young players often play there to ease into it, so shouldn't be too shocking. He has played there in the Sanfl as well.

The only players we have to bring in for JWeb from the magoos are Connoly, Highmore or Gears all not killing it so I'd leave Windy in - he went OK for his 1st game as well.

Long could go back and has a similar hard edge to JWeb, but prefer his pressure up forward.

 

[PlayerNumber9]

Yeah but witts is a giant of a man, different prospect.

Is he bigger than Grundy or Darcy? We went with Marshall and Hayes against those two, and they’re both better than Witts.

We need to be mindful of the opposition but still pick our team to suit how we want to play. I think Hayes gets picked for that reason.
