Membrey kicks straight so he doesnt need many touches to hurt you but without the other supporting forwards he has been struggling to get the ball and Billings has
been out of form for most of the season but I take your point he needs minding.
Steven is probably the one who we need to put more work into and Seb Ross.....the little kid Gresham has also been kicking goals and I reckon they might line him up at FF on Jones in a repeat
of the Nathan Buckley pet move of rotating smalls at FF in an effort to exploit Jones, Rowe etc lack of pace, agility.
I still think we can beat the Saints given the two best players on the ground are Cripps and C. Curnow...both should dominate given the lack of opposition and guide us to victory...
If we lose to Skilda thats about as low as we get IMO and will require the club to act either on the coaching staff or playing list severely at trade time.....
If Weitering and Marchbank both miss it will be a very weak side that we put on the park, St Kilda will need to be every bit as weak as you say.
The only decent player I can think of who might be a possible is Byrne, McKay probably for Phillips but then it's O'Shea or Mullet again.
There's no scope to drop anyone after such a spiritless performance, players are getting games by default.
We aren't in a good place.
