Preview St.Kilda vs Richmond

[Dr Spaceman]

Rice is due

Wok for?

 

[Jade Buddha]

So the question seems to be if changes are forced

Do we bring in Acres off the back of poor form in the belief he can overcome and deliver?

or

Do we roll with Freeman with all the question marks?

We have the half back line covered and these 2 are the only midfielders worth considering

 

[saintsrfreak]

Yes.. Hickey did play really well yesterday.
Longer on the other hand got beaten by a 19 yr old 2nd gamer

I definitely wouldn't say Longer was beaten, but with Hickey's mobility probably being needed to go with Nankervis, as well as his performance in the VFL, it seems like a likely change

Haven't seen Grimlock around yet so thought I'd steal his thunder

 

[Half Back Pocket]

wow...ordinary stats for Wright!

 

[pebblesofsand]

Well on the basis of some need for outside run and kicking ability especially if Steven gets a week, then Savage's 38 possessions and two goals should be enough to see him promoted.

Never have I ever seen Longer with a stat line anywhere near that of Hickey's game yesterday..

For those that seriously think Longer is better, then I question their knowledge of the modern game.

 

[bird_man]

Did Marshall mostly play forward or back?

 

[Glen Buterol]

Steven out suspended and we really should drop Brown for this game as he has no match up. Acres will be in and Savage as a back or McKenzie. They wont drop Brown though.

Someone mentioned earlier that Carlisle should swing fwd. Given the Tigers small fwd line I love the idea.

Then you're probably questioning the coaching staff.

Someone take mentioned earlier that Carlisle should swing fwd. Given the Tigers small fwd line I love the idea.

He has never played well as a starting forward, al the games he scored big tallies were like he did against Freo, he just ran ahead of the play and became a surprise attack. He seems to struggle when a defender sits on him all day.

both

 

[plugger66]

Well if that happened we need to drop a tall forward. Id rather Brown out than one of Membery or Bruce. Roo isn't going to miss unless injured.

He did kick 8 one day.

 

[Saintleigh]

Put Jakey on Rance, Rance will towel Roo up forward.

Drop Longer, Bruce & Jake to share the ruck work.

I like the idea but when we did it earlier in the season our back 6 turned to water.
We would also have to get it down there often enough with clean entry to make it worth while.

 

[plugger66]

Drop Longer, Bruce & Jake to share the ruck work.

Wouldn't mind that. About a million to one though.

 

[bennymc7]

Call me crazy, but do we need both Brown & Carlisle to play this week due to Richmond supposedly having only 1 tall?

I reckon they both play... gotta be on with our pressure to make them bomb it long and high though, let carlisle float across

 

[The Punter]

Steven copped a fine, no suspension because his three fines are for different misdemeanours. Expect them to close this loophole once they realised someone from St Kilda got away with something.

Webster's suspension means Savage is back this week surely.

Wow, I obviously didn't see this game but those stats from Hickey, Freezer and Sav. Somebody has to be rewarded out of those 3 surely!

 

[gringo2011]

He did kick 8 one day.

I reckon that would have been when he was in his purple patch, he was running in from defence nearly identical to what he did on the weekend. They tried to make him a permanent forward but he couldn't when he had to do it full time. That group of games he was the hottest property in AFL footy.

 

[SaintKramer]

Bailey Rice will debut this week which is timely as Tigers have a small forward line.

Pretty sure he far prefers playung in defence and us promising him a permanent role there was part of what lured him across

Savage or DMac for Webb..both were pretty good yesterday

 

[Darrian Barnett]

Webster with a two week ban?
Wtf mrp?

How about Rice? No chance for a debut?
