Preview St Kilda Saints vs. Fremantle Dockers, Round 1 2023

[freo_leo29]

Now that it's happened, I'd rather have Sturt back at home playing for Peel lol

 

[Vintage]

No Sturt

Damn

Where’s that from?

edit got it!

 

[GingerDocker]

My concern is St Kilda's small forwards...please be Walker

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Awesome work match committee!!!

Happy with any of those as the sub and it's great to see big preseasons being rewarded

 

[Bastyy]

i like Wilson over Walker (even though i am a huge fan of Walker) Willo looked great in the last practice match

Johnson didn't travel. Could see any of those last three being sub.

Surely Sturt.

Great impact player.

 

[Van_Dyke]

the sturt fanclub is understanding yet disappointed. we will rebuild

 

[mike91]

I must say I'm very surprised Walker has been dropped, especially against a team with Higgins and Butler, but I'm also thrilled about it.

Sturt and Johnson being emergencies means they're close

 

[s_wd6]

Should’ve dropped Ryan and played both Wilson and Walker

Wtf?

 

[DockerDerek]

We are top heavy in the forward line. Would prefer Sturt to Treacy just from a balance perspective.

Would like a small wager on Banfield being named Sub.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Hughes now named in the back pocket (switched with Clark)? And Tabs now named on the field in place of Freddy.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Getting in early but if they like this structure it is going to be VERY interesting if Walters is available next week

Nah, Dogs are top heavy. We are playing 2 KPFS, a resting ruck and a medium effectively, and the resting ruck could play as a mid. I love the balance

It's already going to be very interesting

It's also why I'm devo for Sturt, this was his best shot imo

don't pay attention to that. they never line up like that on game day

 

[s_wd6]

Wtf?

you'll be saying the same thing after the game

If Sturt is the sub I reckon that's pretty fair reward. He's come from JL basically not acknowledging him last year because he was so far off it to being on the edge of the best 22, all on the back of figuring out pressure is mandatory and having a good preseason

I'll be more devo for Sturt if Banfield is the sub. That would be a kick in the guts for Sturt after what he has been able to do this offseason.
Walker as sub - no complaints from me, in fact I think that's the most logical choice. Sturt as sub - well deserved. Banfield as sub - don't want to see it.

Edit - what snuff said

Trust me, I won't ever say we should drop one of our best defenders that walks into every team in the comp for Walker.......ever

 

[Joao]

I mean I want Sturt in the vest but then the GOAT sub is his competition.

We're talking about dropping Ryan not Cox silly

 

[Purple Jesus]

Sturt the sub and this is the perfect selection imo.

 

[freo_leo29]

Ryan does walk into any team though

Who wouldn't pick him?

 

[Tbonefreo]

That is a good team
