Rampe, Fox and Mills all play tall plus Aliir. Dawson is around 190 also.

How has your defensive pressure been with that many talls? On paper we should be able to compete very strongly at ground level if we can spoil the contest and bring the ball to ground.

With geary (probably playing shut down role on Lloyd) butler, gresh, billings, parker (plays small) we are pretty solid on the forward pressure this year
 
Hi guys and girls, sorry for the intrude. Just wondering about Dane Rampe. Why on earth is he playing with a broken hand? Sounds ludicrous to me personally. Have you guys go no one else in reserve with your injury list?​
Also noticed that your backline only has one player over 188cm while we have King 204 cm, battle 196cm, parker 190cm, membrey 190cm and the two ruckman ryder 200cm and marshall 202cm rotating through there as well. Might be a stretch. Have you got any young key defenders moving through the ranks?​
Hopefully today is a good tight match and hopefully we'll officiated both ways. Good luck :)

There is an Age/ SMH article on Sir Dane Rampe on your boards corresponding thread.

Tall players are so "last year", this is the first year of the transformation to short people era.
Keep your eye out for this years Coleman medalist, he is the short one , running in a blur and jumping over others heads, with arms swinging like a broken windmill.

Our secret sources tell us your blokes love throwing (slinging) short people. Umpires are short people too, they disapprove and therefore Swans frees galore!:p

There is only two tall ressies defenders left standing /uninjured. One plays like a statue and the other a rookie who hasn't played a game yet.

Nice attempted troll :thumbsu:
 
Hopefully again because membrey is elite also
He's going alright.
But we picked him up in 2012 draft & he stayed two years with us before wanting out to go home.
He's been a Saint now for 6 years & is yet to achieve anything with his team other than a great win against Port last week.:rolleyes:
Each time we have played them since he's been a Saint, he's been toweled up by his opponent, most of the times on his home ground at Etihad.

So if he has a ripper game tonight against one of the weakest Swans teams he's come up against in 6 years as a Saint, then let me assure you, it doesn't make him elite. As a Saint his team has finished 14th, 9th, 11th, 16th, 14th.
Elite indeed.

Right so really we will have max 3 of King, Battle, Membrey, Marshall and Ryder down there at any one time?

Membrey pretty much all the time (is only 190), and 2 from the rest?
I think our defenders will be able to deal with that...

Can’t have all of Membrey, King, Battle, Parker, Marshall/Ryder, Geary, Butler, Gresh, and Billing’s down there all at once (9/10)...

Elite indeed.
His stats says otherwise , what’s his team got to do with it

I know your hating seeing players leave doing well

Would you like us to rest Paply too? He's got sore thumbs.

How much space and structure does he add for the saints?

Nailed it Punts!
Not players like Hanners though.
He gave us his best. It's more so players that hang out to go home & don't tough it out with us after we take them in the draft, but they're entitled to do that. But I'm entitled to wish them all the worst when we play them.

I think he has built his tank & his biggest asset is that you see him up the ground one minute but then lining up for goal the next. So all jokes aside, the guy goes alright but I want to see how he goes when/if the Saints become dominant for the next few years.
He has too many games where he is a non event & I do watch the Saints often. Looking better this apart from the odd non turn up.
He is very beneficial to the current Saints set up with King there & Butler mopping up anything that hits the deck.
The Saints as a team look a heap better which in the end is how a player's worth is measured IMO.
 
I do enjoy seeing St Kilda do well and have always had a soft spot for them (when their not playing the Swans). I have a good feeling about this game. We have a fairly settled side for the first time this season, with only one change. The Saints record against us is extremely poor and they have had a recent busy schedule with 2 trips to Adelaide in the past week.
Papley to extend his lead on the Coleman medal and the Swans to win by 12 points.
 
HighER score. When it’s a contest between two, the comparative rather than the superlative is the better choice of adjective.

Maybe I meant the highest score amongst all teams playing today in the league ;)
