Jamarra is a massive out for them but it'd be typical for his replacement to kick 5 on us.

Golden opportunity handed to us on a platter with Libba also out. This will tell a big story on how our season will go.

 

[toxic]

Will Zac Jones be the sub tomorrow night?

 

[TheJackal]

Whatever happens on Thursday night, one thing is assured. Our Garcia is better than theirs!

 

[Veer Right]

Bevo wants to exploit us up forward with their height.

Thought this would have been as good week to bring in Campbell and use both he and Marshall interchangeably as a spare defender.

I hope Lyon has a "good plan" to counter.

Our plan is likely to run them off their legs.

Yes or no


Or possibly maybe

 

[seasonedsainter]

Team looks more balanced with one less tall and another mid/runner in. Coaches clearly backing Butler in, I'm hoping he can click into gear. I'll spew if Garcia is sub again but think it will be Jones.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Happy with Jones to be starting 22 and Garcia as sub.

Its a big ask expecting a young kid to play a whole game as a full time mid.

Seriously he is the sub after that performance?!?! Better come on at half time of so.

This is round 6, he was the R5 substitute yes.

Sub gets named before the match as depending if someone like Jones pulls a hammy during warm up I suppose.

Hope so yeah

Ah got it. I thought that was named sub for this round!

Butler or Jones sub imo

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Are Hugo and Riley related?

 

[stfan]

Hopefully.

Jones is a good choice for Sub. We need to win this game. So Jones is better than our kids besides Garcia.

Actually thinking on it further, they may possibly make Butler the Sub. Especially if the only reason for Butler's very poor last game was lack of form.

 

[Ekomaira]

Riley Garcia one of the inclusions for the Dogs so it will be a battle of the Garcias tomorrow night, I'm backing Hugo to win that battle.

Hopefully he isn't the sub again but it wouldn't surprise me if he is.



I would still rather Lobb in their team than JUH who is arguably their most dangerous forward now.

may god have mercy on Riley's soul...

You’d think Jones will be sub

 

[stfan]

But the advantage of Garcia is that he would be rotating through the midfield and half forward.

Especially if they make Butler the Sub so that Jones can also go through the middle.


Steele played a very good last quarter last week, we need more of that Steele.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Whatever happened to Ahmed Saad? I miss his 50 metre walk up for his set shots.

Might have mentioned on here last year but I bumped into Ahmed in October at the pool of the resort we were staying at in Bali.
Really nice guy and we had a good chat, and he still looks in good enough nick to play again. We spoke about his ban for the game day banned drink - what a (not very funny for him) joke that was.
Loved his time at the Saints and still folllows them closely…not so much Richo.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Are Hugo and Riley related?

Riley is from WA so I don’t think so.

 

[moirae42]

I just dont want Garcia as the sub.
That said, subbing a small forward limits your injury coverage.
Always best to have a midfielder as a sub.

I honestly think that there may be a late change on this one. I reckon that Butler would have to be in the gun for perhaps Doug due to the Lobb inclusion.

IF Lobb kicks four goals I will probably vomit on myself.

 

[Diehard Saint]

You’d think Jones will be sub

Absolutely, zippy fresh legs.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Wth no Garcia. Rtb is an imposter.

 

[Cairnsman]

A couple of players must be so thankful we have a large injury list...how frustrating for the coaches to not have access to their best players.

Our ball movement has been average and our games are riddled with basic skill errors and fumbles.

Jones lucky, a couple others too.
