Are people maybe overreacting slightly?

Fair play to him. He’s a class player who is still brushing off the cobwebs from an interrupted preseason.

Just feel like his impact off half back is utterly elite and we should be using him where he’s most effective.

Understandable why he is being played in there atm though given our midfield injuries/ lack of depth

 

[bird_man]

Heading over to Canberrà to this game. Can't say I have much confidence but it would be a great win if we got up.

Windy in

Jones sub

Hastie out

The ground size critics will be happier this week. Manuka is pretty much the same dimensions as the G. Giants don't have a great record there either. Maybe we are a sneaky chance

Get ****ed Greene gets off.

We lost windy and King to gentle hits

So slings are ok now? It's just bumps that get weeks?

Flavour of the week I guess.

Can’t wait to get absolutely ****ed on the weekend now.

 

[SG34]

I propose something revolutionary- ‘The Reverse Sub’. TRS!

What is TRS ?
Instead of having a ‘shock/fresh/junior’ player coming on halfway through the last quarter, (as we have seen) we select a key playmaker as a sub, and then use a ‘Disrupter’ type player at the go get for the first twenty minutes, then sub the player off. On comes the playmaker.

It confuses the oppo team. It gives the playmaker more freshness for crucial 60-70% of game time.

We could choose Caminiti as the TRS. He will force changes in oppo camp, he might kick a couple of quick goals or set up some others. Then we allow a smaller player who will run out the game to come on.

how does Toby get off but Vlaustin on Butler gets a fine, butler had a free hand, but Andrew didn't......

more baffling shit from the AFL

 

[austinnn]

RTB would never see any game as not winnable, it's not him, you can't demand supreme effort and speak that way all the time without being a competetive beast.

Exactly. He told us so when he first came back. He prefers possibilities to probabilities. Could, not should.

And no comment on it in the MRP notes? Like surely some explanation as to why not. Christian is and always has been a flog. Wouldn’t pee on that bloke if he was on fire

Greene actually made two dangerous tackles in a row where he used his body weight to propel the opposition player’s head to the ground. Two in 10 seconds.

Nothing to see here.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

How Pickett only got a week spins me out.

 

[westernsainter]

Hogan gonna give our backs some sleepless nights this week I'd say.

 

[moirae42]

Max is going to rip this game apart.

 

[BrutThough]

Hogan gonna give our backs some sleepless nights this week I'd say.

Wilkie gave him a bath in our first match up last year. He should get the job instead of Cordy, who got shown up by him in the finals.

Also with Webster, I guess Stocker has to take Toby. Webster has a very good record on him so this is the week his suspension will hurt the most.

 

[Mat Mann]

Bedford Killed us in the final, tough without Webster to lock down both him and Toby

 

[austinnn]

Would we put Windy on Greene? Seems like it brings out his best, but I'd be loathe to take him out of the middle

Windy on Kelly for me.

Murdered us in the final.

Incase anyone forgot.

Heading to the game (any other Canberra Sainters going?).

Thoroughly enjoyed our win against GWS here a couple of years ago but don't have a good feeling about this one.

Here's hoping they have an off game. And agree we're too tall. Caminiti out for mine.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Just had a look at the Greene incident, I reckon he's in trouble. Ball long gone, dumps in the tackle, head hits the ground.

Did he get an MRO sanction ? Haven’t seen anything.

 

[BrutThough]

Did he get an MRO sanction ? Haven’t seen anything.

Unfortunately, he didnt

 

[Diehard Saint]

Unfortunately, he didnt

I saw. Should have read on a bit further before posting.
Mind - boggling decision.

AFL hoping for a GWS / Blues GF I reckon. Will be watching any decisions with these clubs very closely.

 

[StFly]

More than likely would have been lack of impact cited, then again, who knows what died in MC's head to make any of his calls since head of that department.

 

[god_of_the_universe]

They'll give us a touch up. I fully expect them to win the flag this year

Tbh, we all thought he’d get a week because …. Toby. However, the reverse angle showed he didn’t pin the arms and basically released the tackle before impact with the ground. The criteria for a week is still a Chook raffle but I’ll take it
