Some changes are needed
- If Pittonet is out with an extended injury (again), I think we need to consider both O'Keeffe and Reidy in the team (especially against TDK and Marshall. They wouldnt carry their bags but they are both a must structurally IMO.
- Byrne needs a rest and F Young needs to come in
- Ison probably needs a go at the expense of?
- George needs to come back in and Cerra needs to play in the VFL (both slow but George is a far better footballer).
- I assume McKay will come back in.
Out Cerra Byrne L Young Cottrell Evans
in Hewett F Young O'Keefe McKay Ison
Wont happen, probably will be
Out L Young Byrne
In McKay F young

Agree with all that. Cottrell is important but not fit enough for his role ATM.
Look at swapping out Florent for Ollie...much of a muchness but need to send a message re standards and making mistakes.
Smith needs a break too.
Williams needs a rocket, been invisible.
And badly need to come up with some alternative centre square set ups because it's getting very predictable and stale.
Not sure what to do with Moir- teases with glimpses but being invisible for 98% of games (no tackles) doesn't work. At least Frank applies some pressure. How long do we persist here?

Just thinking who from Saints is in need of a form lift....

Hmm Milera has been quiet. He will get 30 and kick 3 as an unchecked half back flanker

TDK is another one. We will make look like he is being paid unders.

Or will it be one of their small forwards who gets off the chain and kicks 5.

Nah rest assure Voss will have a plan this week how to curtail the matchwinners of the opposition

I need to stop.

Yea it's a familiar script isn't it?

I'd give Carroll the covering job on NWM... At least he's mobile enough and his marking might keep NAS a touch more accountable

I'm going a bit more radical....

McKay to CHB
Derksen CHF
Moir to the midfield.

Jagga, Byrne and Dean to the VFL to get the winning feeling.
Lord can join them for bonding as a young group.

Hewett back for Cerra
F Young for Evans
Wilson, Charleson in for Cowan, Cottrell (I told you he needed another week or two)

Chesser in for Carroll (This boy needs to be kept away from the rest of the side for his own sake and development.

)

And I'm only half joking with some of these.

BTW I suspect we might see the record for most booed in a single game go next week.
If not on the field, when they flash to a shot of SOS in the crowd.

Nothing surer that NWM will have a ball tearer and TDK will monster our ruckman. The former yet another example of what we dont have on our list, speed, poise, ball use.

The skipper needs to have a big game with his longtime nemesis Jack Steele no longer a Saint. We need to find a player to stop Jack Sinclair too, that bloke never plays a bad game against us and is constantly on his own without an opponent just racking up possessions and running us ragged.
I think I want to beat StKilda more than any other team in the comp given the Carlton connections, cant have them stealing our players and then having bragging rights about beating us. Thats too much to cop from such a rubbish club and even their president Andrew Bassat annoys me with his cocky bravado, about the only thing I like about the club are Lyons pressers which are comedy gold and I look forward to seeing him perform when we beat them..
