[SaintPav]

Are some of these listed team positions a piss take?

How long before we see Max King listed as a rover?

[skeptic]

Obviously the majority of the ins will likely end up as emergencies…

BUT

Is this possibly the most uninspiring set of changes ever. I mean it’s Billings and three players seemingly set to be delisted.
And that’s whilst noting that half the forum want Billings traded though I like him

Since when did it matter? Players will line up on opponents they are assigned to.

Good to see Dean Kent in the squad, reckon he'll be the injury sub.

[The Fireman]

When is Zac back

[Lennylegs]

Good luck to Paul Hunter but I really don't like seeing his name on the team sheet.

When is Zac back

Saints app says '2-3 weeks'
The article was Tues 29 June

[magnifisaint]

I think they might try Lonie as the ruckman and Hunter on the wing. Mix it up a bit.
That will give them plenty of run.

[Teflon]

Lonie should never play for us again
FFS leave Long forward !
Play Leo
Kent?? Is he still on the list ?

[st.byron]

Hunter, Lonie and Kent.

[saynta]

Hunter, Lonie and Kent.

Reward for flogging the tigers VFL team.

[Vortex]

I feel sorry for the selectors, I really do. They club really is in a hugely delicate position on many fronts and they just don't have the luxury of a healthy list to select from so they are being forced to be creative with the resources they HAVE got.

Why aren't supporters getting it? A serious question...anyone?

[magnifisaint]

Jack Lonie - centre half bench

[spert]

Jeez I hope Billings puts in a better effort than he did against the Crows.

He was being injected onto his foot FFS.

[Saintmatt]

I know we have to name a full squad but really, it's a waste of ink / bytes naming Hunter and Lonie. They're both abominable.

As for Kent - I don't dislike him as much as some and at least he has an AFL sized body that can do some damage. He was playing pretty well before that decent knock so, not unhappy to see him get a run however, I'd much prefer Connolly to be retained

[kosifantutti]

Battle dropped. Coffield injured.
Billings and Connolly in.

[Lennylegs]

Strange time to drop Battle. Thought he was pretty good last week. Has been pretty average before that. Why drop him now?

Anyway, rapt they retained Connolly. Keen to see more of him.

Go Sainters

Ratts n co maybe thought Highmore and Connolly needed some continuity, to see what they've got.
Battle was due to be dropped sooner or later anyway

[SemperFidelis]

I’m absolutely mystified that we dropped Battle this week. He was good last week. Surely there is more to it?

[magnifisaint]

I think Battle is overrated. Wasn't that good against the Tigers.

[Banger9798]

I'm hoping it is more like the side is being managed.
No way Battle deserved to be dropped on last week's performance.

[Jacks Back]

Maybe Battle will be the sub?
