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

[The Jack]

King must have photos and Mattaes apparently asked for a trade this arvo.

 

[The_Steadier]

Paton , let's hope he gets back to pre-Roughhead tackle level as lockdown small defender. He was one of the best in the league for a while.

Let's not forget the lad has a bit of
far-queue in him too which we could do with in our team evolving away from richo's choirboys.

 

[malevu]

Pou was 59th on the AFL's most consecutive games list with 32 games. Fourth in order at the Saints after Wilkie, Marshall and Nas.

That's your useless bit of info for the night!

I bet that’s the first time in his life the Poo has been dropped.

 

[Sully111]

I'd be shocked if Pou was dropped

Not saying he shouldn't be.... but don't believe it will happen.

Played every game... signs on... back to Sandy m'f'r. Can't see it

Shows how much I know

Good call methinks

 

[my name was taken]

Selections look good, Arie will get his go sometime soon no doubt.

 

[Mav3rick]

Paton has earned that recall, been good at Sandy......

Smart selection, we've recognised that Hawks have a lot of gun smalls and we need some lockdown defenders in the side. Expect he might get a look at Breust given last years game

 

[Sainttony]

Patto in to look after Bruest after he kicked six on Jimmy last time. Jimmy on Ginnivan.

Hopefully he can be our small defender - Webster fine but if he has any problems we don't have to much else.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

I bet you feel a little silly now huh

Open the trap!

 

[Sainter1873]

Stocker is listed as a centre. Those positions aren’t concrete but I think we’ll see him on ball a fair bit on Saturday. Even if Paton is the sub, we’ve got enough medium defenders to allow him to play on ball.

 

[sauce_head]

Gee watching Walsh play for Carlton is making me excited to see Wilson play this weekend.

 

[beside the seaside]

I reckon Paton will be the sub.

 

[Oh When the Saints]

Stocker, Bonner, Webster, Paton, Wanganeen-Milera and Sinclair. Have we ever named so many small defenders/ half-backs in one team?

See the mid 2010’s when our entire list was made up of HBF’s that “have the potential to become mids”

I have heard Ross ain’t a big fan of Arie.
Not sure gets picked any time soon

 

[Desperate saint]

Looks an OK team, glad Paton is back. I think Pou just needs to learn more about using his body in contests and can work on it in the forward half at Sandy.

not sure what Phillipous 1 wood is

Why wouldn't Ross be a fan of him? I'm sure Ross would have had some input with us selecting him in the draft.

From what I've heard his form has been pretty good in the VFL and he hasn't put a foot wrong on the training track or off field.

It will be tough for him to get picked with some of our better and more experienced players returning but it won't hurt him to wait.

 

[Ads734]

not sure what Phillipous 1 wood is

He has great hands in close.

 

[borderbarry]

For a change i am happy with the changes, although I thought Arie is knocking on the door and would have liked for him to be given a run in the Seniors.

Problem is there is not slot for him to fill, and moreso against the Hawks who lack talls.

 

[stfan]

I am really looking forward to watching Wilson on this very large ground make the most of his running ability to exploit the Hawks.

Does anyone know what the deal with him over preseason was? Got sent back to train with the VFL side and the club tried to claim it wasn't a punishment and 'nothing to see'

Love the look of him, just hope he has a good head on his shoulders and can have a long career. Talent is clearly there.

 

[Cairnsman]

It's a good skill to have with a 1 wood.
