"Ruckman Billy Longer is also closing in on a return, named an emergency alongside Joyce, Marsh and Hind.

The St Kilda-listed players not selected for the AFL team will enjoy a rest this weekend with Sandringham having the bye in the VFL.

[Crossy66]

Marshall forward, longer in if Bruce doesnt come up imho

[prwilkinson]

Solid replacement. Always has a crack.

[George27]

3 talls amongst the emergencies. Suggests to me there may still be some doubt about Josh Bruce( as flagged by Tony74) , and that we are keeping some options open in case he does not come up . Making it clear however that I am just guessing !

[Saintly66]

Love the team just not dmac, white or rice much better footballers and not just athletes.

[older saint]

If Bruce out needs to be Marsh. Cant have a player which only plays one spot and provides nothing else ( Longer) . He should only come in if Marshall's form drops off or injury. Might sound Harsh but until provides more around the ground just cant carry those guys

Spot on Marsh gives us flexibility, he could play forward, back, Ruck or on ball. You could have him & Acres on the ball at the same time, alternating who takes the ruck. He's also been playing forward & back in the VFL

[stkfc1]

Marsh must be impressing to get a chance so early. Good on him. Could end up being a very astute get for us.

[Zed]

If Bruce is out , then maybe Joyce in. He goes to the backline and Battle to the forward line. Although I do also like Marshall up forward . I know Billy is a better ruckman, but Just think that what Marshall lacks in ruck work is outweighed by his work around the ground with marking and tackling. Billy doesn’t give us anything after the ruck contest is done.

[Scollop]

Marsh is not ready. It would be a massive mistake to give him a game right now. I'd rather a guy who will be cleaner with his disposal and is a one touch player.

DMac and Brandon White would be my first preference and Hunter Clark or Nick Coffield as options also

[spert]

The only reason Marsh is an emergency I would say, is to take Bruce's spot if injured.

Agree.

Please not farking Longer. Anyone but bloody Longer!

Agreed lets move on from Longer!

[Saint wagga]

My favourite aspects of DMac's game is his ability to win one-on-one contests, which i think people may underestimate at the moment. He doesn't accumulate a heap of the footy (something hopefully he can add with more games/experience) but he does seem to win clutch contests which are invaluable. He's good in the air, and is quick and is improving at peeling off his man to provide help. Has also clearly gelled nicely with the rest of the defensive unit which is important. Like the selection integrity and continuity with winning sides. Crossing fingers toes and everything else Longer doesn't come into the side!!

But Longer is the best ruckman in the universe or so Stonecold has convinced me.

I think our defense is lacking in rebounding speed and attacking ball movement that's why I would have liked Hind or even White to be given a go.

But agree with your comment by and large

Wow have you even watched this year. Savage has been sensational

Rice really? I didn’t see either rice or white finishing top ten in last year b and f.

I didn’t ask for Savage to be dropped did I?

Agree he’s been excellent. Relax it’s just my opinion

[stkfc1]

Look if Dmac keeps Eddie to 2 goals or under, he's done his job. Crows scoring ability is relying on him kicking a bag at the moment.

[bigcarl]

I hope Bruce is okay to play. He’s been key to our resurgence. If he misses with Geary also out, that’s a lot of leadership missing. I think we are up to it, but it will be a big test.

[SemperFidelis]

Did we train this morning? Any news on Baroose?
