No one mentioning NWM as a possible in?
He's not injured is he?

A lack of accountability, a lack of presence and abysmal with the ball in hand

The Geelong comment on Hannebery at half time was how valuable he was to St Kilda - the opposite to Ross

Sharman shows promise His leaping ability in a side which lacks height is valuable as well

Bytel for Ross for mine - Bytel could not be any worse

Webster also was very ordinary

Both Ross and Webster are approaching 30 years of age with no stand out features so of the past

Neither can influence results
Gee as usual it sounds like you were very high up, I almost feel like your views are beyond reproach.

Out Hanners, Jones, Webster, Higgins, Ross
In NWM, Bytel, Campbell, Connolly, Highmore
Play two rucks changing at full forward, King to CHF on his last chance ditto for Hill.
None of this likely to happen but we could do worse

Templar wrote: Mon 08 Aug 2022 11:33am Points taken older saint but Sharman's game show he is definitely a keeper. Was good to see someone taking contested marks around the ground. How many did he grab was it three or four? Could he be a potential matchup for Hipwood?
Battle - Daniher
Wilkie - Hipwood
Howard - McStay

No match up there for him.
Cameron - Paton
Webster - McCarthy
Sinclair - 6th forward ( probably tagged by Robinson)
Daniher too tall for Battle.
A few weeks ago, Battle went to a tall Fwd (which match? Can't recall) but the difference in height was quite obvious.
Battle couldn't spoil at all.
Tried but didn't get near it when his oppo was marking it
The last few weeks Daniher has played as the high half forward often pushing up t0o the wing - hence this match up. Basically we should hold our structure Battle the high half forward, and Wilkie and Howard deeper taking the better match up between hipwood and mcstay (predominantly)

I think the list is pretty shot mentally, and Ratts also looks and talks like a man out of ideas. I would like to see Connolly, Bytel, Byrnes and Campbell get a game this week. I think Hill, Jones, King and Clark should be playing at Sandy. But we're not serious challengers now, so lets look to 2023

While there is a chance to make finals surely we should push for that. Agree will not win the flag however the experience of playing a final ( if we were able to fluke it there) would be invaluable to Owens,Windy, etc

I think the best education for youngsters like Owens and Windy, is for the senior players to lift the bar and play better, and more consistent football.

Bytel will possibly be at another club & NWM is homesick so the story goes,should we really play them if that is the case?

Bytel should be playing. I know he's had his injuries, but there's no excuse for keeping him out of these last two games.

If he ends up leaving, then so be it, but we should be giving him a chance to stay and ourselves a chance to keep him.

Pick the team that gives us the best possible chance of winning the game, getting 4 points and staying in the race.

The rest be damned.

Competitiveness.

If NWM wants out and is still contracted for 2023 it’s time to move him on now so we can get some compensation.

Why would Bytel want out?
He has been
injured for most of this season and only starting to get match fit.
He surely couldn’t have expected to come into the seniors any sooner.

What is his contract status? Is he contracted for next year? I have no idea

He is contracted for next year but has not extended his contract like Windy,OWENS & Hayes!
If he does want to go home makes sense to have an open & honest discussion with him & get at least a little currency back for him not like what Cripps did to us going back to West Coast!

NWM musn't like playing Saints pooball, i understand that, i don't like watching it but they continually serve it up.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Some good attributes, but is such an outside player.
Must have been told to go back to the Magoo's and stick a tackle.

If he really wants out, we should get a FRDP this year, and avoid the Cripps scenario

As has been the case for over a month now, what other options do the selectors have, it's not as though the selectors sit around the selection table each week feeling like they are blessed with options, especially for key positions.

The positive is Sharman is getting a game but otherwise wouldn't be if our list wasn't a rabble, the down side is he may lose confidence if he keeps getting slaughtered each week while playing with the big kids.
Yes agreed especially if our gun coach keeps throwing in defence , in the ruck and forward …

Well, is that a fact?
