Round 13 Pre Match Thread - vs St Kilda at the SCG, Thursday 8 June, 7:10 PM

Except I think Campbell has spent very little time in defence lately. The back 7 against Carlton was Melican Fox Francis Blakey Lloyd Cunningham and Florent. Of the smalls Florent looks most likely to shift but I don’t think they will do that

I watched a few of Ollie's games in the mids. Wow he was great at grab and go from a hit out

With Amartey named as an emergency, is there a strong possibility that he'll be a late in and play up forward?

Rain is predicted tomorrow evening in Sydney, team selection likely with that in mind. With a bit of luck, St Kilda might be a bit too tall and slow given the probable weather.

Ross has stated at a few press conferences that the Saints are now are a high pressure force the turnover team

He has said that well over 2/3 of their goals need to come from turnovers given the way they play and any less would not be taking advantage of their method

I think we won’t see any different and that means the faster and harder we are the better against the Saints

I don’t think we will go too tall

I really look forward to BJ and Oli getting more time on the wings

Sheldrick has a real opportunity also given no Parker and no Mills……. but u have to guess given Heeneys roles last couple of games he will be doing some more work in the midfield we will see him in the thick of the clearances for parts of the game

dont know who will stand king

Leave Francis down back and release Ollie or Blakey

Ramps being our third tall is a dream come true

Absolutely!

Rampe back frees up Blakey.

Francis should never play forward again.

Would normally be Rampe but would be a big ask after a long stretch out so for me would be Fox

Why would you put Fox on a 200cm player when you have 2 x 195cm players to play on him? No. I think either Melican or Francis will play on King. I prefer Melican. Fox on Owen maybe or Rampe. I think Rampe and free Fox up to play on the smalls, which he is, proven he is good at. Higgins is a good match up for Fox.

Gee I'm loving all the Buddy celebrations across the club's socials and in the media this week.

He's easily the most entertaining, thrilling, unique player I've seen in 30 years of watching AFL. There'll forever be arguments about the greatest, but no one has given fans more joy in my time watching footy at least.

I'll always vividly remember one game in his original season with us. It was against Port at the SCG, and we were both rattling round the top of the table. Port brought their best, and we matched them, but Buddy turned the game on his head with three goals in 10 minutes in the final quarter, including two freak efforts. One was the bomb from 70m out - and he soon topped it with (in my opinion) an even better goal from the other flank. I felt blessed to be there to watch greatness.

Looked at bom radar. Rain clearing away out to sea.
