Preview Round 9, 2024: Hawthorn v St.Kilda - UTAS Stadium, Launceston - Saturday 11th May, 1.45pm AEST

[hotdish]

I don’t think so tbh. Didn’t line up in the (first team) in the match sims.

Arie could be the travelling emergency (not sub). Unless Bonner is missing due to injury/personal can't see him getting a game

 

[westernsainter]

Can't see Bonner getting dropped. With Webster back in the team he can play more of his natural role and worry a bit less about his direct opponent - hopefully this means he's under a bit less pressure with his disposals and the turnovers drop off a bit. He's a great asset if he's on, and I think particularly Webster, but also Howard coming back in makes our back six far more balanced.

 

[BrutThough]

An add on from the other training reports

- Henry looked great today. Should add so much more the forward lie

- Steele was strapping free on his knee.

- King was moving better than last week

- When Sinclair went off, no medical staff assessed anything or followed him into the gym so hopefully thats a good sign

- Hastie was in the starting squad

- Crouch came out for a bit and did some work with Butler.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Sounds like Sicily popped a shoulder on the weekend. Hopefully he doesn't get up or is at least restricted.

He's popped out of the team for at least one week,

Off the boil?

 

[The_Steadier]

Sicily officially ruled out.

Impossible

He put his arms up in an office.

In.
an.
office.

 

[kernelT]

I renew my offer to bet anyone, barring injury, that Bonner will be in the team for the upcoming match.

I'll have a stake, are we betting a pot or a pint?

 

[SaintersUnite]

Not every shoulder dislocation actually fully tears the tendon. His wouldn’t have given he has come back on and has full range of motion. He’ll strap it to make sure it is 100% as it recovers, but it happens, a lot of players play with strapping because of these issues.

He came into Kade Simpsons office Monday (the day after it happened) (his defensive coach) and put his hands above his head and said “I’m good to go”.

Again, he’ll play. Injuries are complex but once you’re cleared of serious injury and it comes back clean you play.

I bet you feel a little silly now huh

One thing I did notice with Arie today, notwithstanding he is a beautiful kick, he is not quick and doesn’t seem to have closing speed - sort of lopes along. Wilkie a similar size but much quicker I think.

 

[SaintWWodonga]

How did Dow train?

He's not quick, but is more an interceptor like Sicily. He gets in the right areas.

 

[The Cobra]

I probably didn’t watch him too closely, think ok but didn’t stand out.

 

[Joffaboy]

How did Dow train?

Not impressive, didn't stand out.

The Bonner hate is a bit weird, when apart from Battle & Wilkie, the backline have all had shakey moments with their kicking.

There's that word again. Preference of different cattle does not equate to hate.
I hated Richo. Never any player.

 

[beside the seaside]

If it's not Bonner getting dropped they've got rocks in their heads.

I don't see him getting dropped. He's generating a lot of our attack and releasing Sincs to the midfield. Does miss some kicks but also opens up the field for us

Except for Dougal

announce arie pls saints

 

[Plugger35]

announce arie pls saints

I hope he gets named too, I need another defender in Supercoach with Yeo and Wiliams out injured and Coffield still on my bench.

 

[Zzzed]

If Max leads towards the kicker this week , rather than standing still
or waving for it to come on top of his head
or for a kick over the back ,
then I will be happy.

I don’t expect to be happy

[sauce_head]

Solid changes announced. I like it.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

Good for Pato?

 

[beside the seaside]

Keeping Hastie in the starting team and giving him a good run at it. Still blooding kids, love it.

It will be good for Pou to get a run in the VFL.
