We have a 2 day minus travel break on this mob, we seriously should be running over the top of them. No point peaking fitness in the last week of September if we aren't there

The move the ball as slow as possible kick to him out numbered 3 to 1 tactic isn't helping

St Kilda has max king, we have our entire forward line (minus Fritsch cameos)

Surely we run over the top of a team who played interstate last week. 2 days after us

I know Langdon likes his wing but mix it Up. JJ ends up doing all the work taking hits, while Langdon racks up kms

Looking ok, clouds have lifted no rain atm

Thunder rumbling in my area. 15 min from the g

I thought Max's goal kicking technique was bad. King is atrocious. Spins it in the hands and his grip is totally wrong. Surely he should go around the corner everytime. His drop punts are no chance with the way he kicks them

Unfortunately can't see the Saints winning this. They are pretty ordinary

How is that not holding the ball against daniher

C'mon Saints, if they do is a favour tonight and we win tomorrow top 4 would basically be a lock .

I honestly in real time when I saw the incident didn't think he should be suspended and don't care that he is playing, but the whole process is an absolute farce

Cripps named and allowed to play until verdict reached. Might be subbed of at half time at this rate

What a farce! Don't really care either way but gotta be a big distraction for their club and ultimately the team this whole episode. Can't wait to Smash the pretenders

307 posts ,13 pages and a whole lot mind space and time put into the whole changes thread. Feels a bit of a waste 😜

Same I remember playing this mob can't remember what year, late Bailey or early roos years and we needed to win to have a chance at finals and we turned in an all time inept stinker. Only matched by that last round to make finals performance against the pies.

Eagles rebuild going well

Joel Smith being an answer to our forward line issues is a massive hail Mary He's been on the list 7 years ,26 games for 1 goal and played almost exclusively as a defender. I don't get how one game at Casey and training with the forwards for 3 weeks is going to enable him to slot into a forward line and be productive in finals.

I thought the same but didn't see is used to great effect on Friday. Hunt hasn't been the dashing , take the game on player for the past 2 years . I would have thought last week he would have played on ginnivan but they went with lever.

I think him and Langdon would be besties

Don't quite understand the whole let's get a player who just announced his retirement thing. There where some calling for Kennedy yesterday. These guys are old with shot bodies and retiring for a reason

Based off Godwin's press conference. I'd say minimal changes this week. Harmes for hunt would be my tip. I'd prefer to see Brayshaw back or on a wing and harmes/JJ taking midfield minutes. Also not that sure sparrow should be automatic selection at the moment

Yep the blue baggers supporters will definately not show up as might have expected a month ago. I've got two mates who where talking up this game big time 5-6 weeks ago , different friendship groups both not going now

Best contested ball winning midfield, definately not elite for foot skills and kicking to forwards advantage. There is a screen grab on another thread that's shows our midfield are below average going forward
