Finally returning to Marvel for a home game after a very short break.
We may see at least one forced change depending on the severity of King's knee.
Hopefully Garcia can cement his spot in the starting lineup, I think he earned it from the GWS game.

Swap Pou and Byrnes, as for me Doggies are more run and gun and Byrnes is nothing if not tenacious. Pou as sub could be when the game opens a bit, his laconic one step 70 to space efforts could be beneficial.
 
Hopefully King is ok. I’d like to see him working further up the ground to get some momentum into marking contests. Garcia has to play.
I’d also stick with Cordy, he’s doing a solid job and with total loss sitting at 13 points. I think Howard would need to be massive to dislodge him.
If King is out I’d consider Hayes. Not sure how he went today.
 
Collard needs some game time (Butler).
Garcia starting 22 (Sharman)
Worth injecting Hastie as the Sub.
King needs to find his fire, we need him. Hopefully fit.

Out: Butler, Sharman.
In: Collard, Hastie.
 
Out: king, Sharman, butler

in: Howard, schoenmaker, jones

B: Wilkie, cordy, stocker
Hb: nas, Howard, Sinclair
C: hill, battle, Byrnes
Hf: Wilson, membrey, Garcia
F: Higgins, caminiti, Owens
Foll: Marshall, Steele, windhager
Int: schoenmaker, Bonner, Ross, phillipou
Sub: Jones

Wilkie- jammara
Cordy- naughton
Howard- Darcy

Try battle in the middle, If it's not working, he can take cordy or Howard's spot and they can get subbed off

I think most of us would like to tweak the 22, but we actually have very few options to do so at present, and most likely for 4 weeks yet.

I would be surprised if Garcia does not come into the 22.

Hayes if King is out injured.

Toss a coin on the Sub, but I suspect they will go with Jones.
 
Is Dow a chance to come straight in, maybe as the sub? Sandy have a bye, so if they want him to play there first he won't be available until at least round 8.
 
I haven't come up with a really dumb take for a while, so here goes.

Max looks absolutely devoid of confidence at the moment, you almost know he's going to miss from the body language. That weird pass off he did - not sure if maybe it was the knee and he thought he didn't have the range, but it looks like he does even want to kick at goal.

Doogs back in but plays FF (no more dinky kicks, he can pirouette all he wishes in the F50), Max to FB.
 
Does anybody else feel that the panel of the footy show of a Sunday dont give the saints a fair go yes/no not like a collingwood etc
