Woo-hoo, we get to play at home this week!

 

[AFLOnline]

Can’t become complacent like we did against the Dockers

 

[triggering bro]

I’d like to see three changes with two being forced.

Kent (inj) - Lonie
Ross (inj) - Bytel
Parker (omit) - Battle

I’m not sold on Hind however he outperformed Parker & we need to get Battle & Lonie back into the team IMO.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Must win game. Don't care how we do it but have to get it done. Swans won't be easy beats.

I hope Kent and Ross both get up.

I like those changes and totally agree

Who plays on Paps? I think he would be too quick on the lead for both Geary and Wilkie

Paton did a great job on Rozee. I’d give him first crack.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Paton did a great job on Rozee. I’d give him first crack.

Also sit the group down and make sure they don’t get sucked into his antics a la Hawks

 

[#saintsfooty]

Paton did a great job on Rozee. I’d give him first crack.

Good to see Paton finally getting the recognition he deserves. Has had a stellar year and now our leading intercept player so far.

 

[Saintbloke]

The Swans and Hawks are pretty ordinary right now and if we play with last night's pressure, the Swans won't cope.

Geary might be good on Lloyd.

 

[Impatient Saint]

Think the 7 day break will be appreciated by the lads...

 

[lewdogs]

Although Parker was really rusty and nervous, I thought he did some good things. He puts the opposition under pressure, won two free kicks one of which led to a Kent goal from advantage. I reckon we should back him in and see how he goes next week.

 

[L_W_P]

Parker plays.

Out
Kent (inj)
Ross (inj)
King (managed)

In
Lonie
Bytel
Battle

Give King a rest and get him ready for the run against the Suns, Cats and Bombers.

Play Battle as a genuine CHF with Marshall and Membrey deep.

Kent yes, Ross no, even if he's fit I'd rather we gave someone else a crack in the midfield, just a pity Hannebery and Dunstan are out injured as they would have been the obvious replacements but maybe we could give a young mid like Bytel a go.

 

[kosifantutti]

Has Kent been confirmed out? He played out the game I thought.

Where is Langlands at currently? A potential replacement for Ross.

Alternatively Savage or Roberton and get Clark to spend some time in the middle.

I don't know where they get the stats, but i think Clark has been attending some centre ballups.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Outs: *Kent, Ross
Ins: Bytel, Battle

Keep selection simple, thump the Swans, and then think about player management.

This is absolutely the kind of game we traditionally drop.
If we come in and dominate then I'll start to believe...

 

[BrutThough]

Out: Kent (inj.), Ross (inj.), Parker (omitted)
In: Lonie, Battle, Bytel/Byrnes

If either Ross or Kent are cleared, then Bytel/Byrnes to miss.

 

[King_Steele]

How is Langlands tracking?

Yep agree on the changes.

Nobody under 23 should be managed through this next block of games either. If anyone is going to be managed it'll be the older players - I'm thinking Ryder & Carlisle predominantly. Rest of them should be able to play every game.

Shame Longy is out still, perfect match up.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Wilkie to Papley. Papley is fast but Wilkie is clever. He takes Dusty. Back him in.

Yes, this could be a real test of our consistency.
