The Saints were able to run them down on their own Turf and almost beat them without Sam Taylor!

He is their playmaker and all their attacks are set up from the back! Surely, we can knock them out this Week!


I don't mind losing to this Mob, but I hate to see Greene toying with our backline... Can someone plz knock him out? lol

I really want to see Binns given a crack in the middle. I just can not understand why the Coaching panel has placed Carroll ahead of him. I think Binns is more accomplished than Carroll and more damaging.

I reckon they'll both play Saturday.

Objection Your Honour, relevance? We only played hard long enough to get Charlie the Coleman - at which point we were ahead and dominating - then we put the cue in the rack.

They also needed to win to make finals IIRC.

i see your point. but still ... gws were the one team that looked so much better than us and anything we were capable of. I feared the pies less in a gf than i did giants.

ok Braithy, I notice and appreciate you carry a lot of fear about a number of aspects of where we are at.....its seems a regular pattern

what if we were to turn the mindset around.....eg this Saturday is a new oportunity to test ourselves against the competition's best.....we continue to learn with fresh faces, building on our game plan?

what if last years result was done and dusted and what if it was possible our available 23 was a different mix as was theirs?

and what if our boys turned up with a sting in their tail after last weeks loss?

game on I say......anthying can happen with 44 players contesting an oval shaped ball

It really depends on fitness, but we might already be at the point where we have to *try* something.

Kemp as third forward to give us another target?
Young as back-up ruck and tall utility?
Cowan as a medium defensive forward replacing Fogarty?

The changes to the ruck contest has pretty much ended Young’s days as a pinch hitter.

I’m picking up what you’re putting down with Cowan, but I’m not sure he’s the guy - there just doesn’t seem to be much flexibility with our player development… Newman, on the other hand…

Think he usually gets that matchup. Toby isn't that quick of foot but he's bloody quick of mind.

lol ... it's not fear. it's frustration, old duck. just sick and tired of the club tbh. 20 years since the last flag. every year for two decades we're top 5, maybe top 3 in soft tissue injuries and man games lost. every year we draft 1-speed players with no 2nd gear. every year we ignore a creative small forward who can turn a game like bobby hill, rankine, paps. and every year we're found wanting bcos of these things.

i dunno ... i still don't trust the club or where we're at.

29!

If you'd told me the day after the '95 flag that I'd need to wait at least 3 decades to see another one I'd have told you you were mental.

The Media Obsession with Carlton continues on... Sam Edmund has declared the World is going to end in 4 weeks time because Carlton are at a Crisis point with 3 Key Injuries and a possible stretch of 5 Losses coming up!

Seriously what a Joke.... All Teams have similar injuries.... has anyone mentioned the Saints?


We are 4-1 and will easily win 2 out of the next 5 tough games. That will still leave us in a Strong position. We have depth this year, unlike previous years!

We've just got 3 but we've got a total of about 13. It's not good.

Okay... Assuming the injury list is accurate I honestly think the best combo we can field this week (bearing in mind that we're playing at Marvel and probably need to prioritise run, and I don't personally like playing two rucks) is:

Cincotta - Weitering - Newman
Williams - Kemp - Boyd
O. Hollands - Cripps - Acres
Cottrell - Curnow - E. Hollands
C. Durdin - McKay - Fantasia
DeKoning - Walsh - Hewett

INT:
Kennedy - Owies - Cowan - Binns
sub: Carroll
Emergency: Young

Bear in mind that the only fit players we have this week outside of this team are:

Pittonet (ruck)
S. Durdin (defender & mystery man - not listed as injured, just hasn't seemingly played all year)
Lemmey (developing tall forward)
O'Keefe (developing ruck)
Mirkov (developing ruck coming back from injury)
Moir (1st year forward)
Monahan (1st year Irish import)

I think we need to play Young, even if it’s as insurance for TDK.

I’d leave Pitto out, GWS will run us into the ground.

In: Binns, Cincotta, Cowan
Out: Saad, McG and Pitto

ah mate ... i hope so. if nothing else i love the optimism.

but ... we don't win games easily, full stop. and after reading the injury report i have diarrhoea
