Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I completely agree. Saints haven't really kicked a score against decent oppo for a long time , on average, if we kick more than 70 points we win. 10.10.

Welcome to the foum.

That's the big challenge isn't it, to be decent opposition.

With Morris back our back line looks strong (if a bit sore), but it's the midfield pressure that has been off the boil since the Geelong smashing. Cooney's lose in Round 21 certainly doesn't help, but if there is no pressure at the stoppages or we fall markedly behind in the contested possession count, then I agree that they could end up kicking more than 12 goals against us. Especially if they start to move the ball in a hurry.

If Hahn plays he will have to play forward. To much of a liability to play down back.

Morris should return for Hooper in what is likely to be the only change. Hahn will need to play forward but I would prefer to play Jones rather than Mitch but cannot see the MC going down this track.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

The Saints have lost games this season to teams that don't mind taking on their zone, and have a high number of goalkickers. This is the style the Bulldogs played from 2006-2009, but have only produced in patches this season.

Carlton's game plan in round 7 was amazing. Collingwood ran in lines through their zone in rd 16. They're a good team the Saints, but very very predictable. The finals is no place to be timid and change your game plan, as we did in the prelim last year. Hopefully we learn from last year and let Griff, Harbrow and the young pups run and carry. I think we're capable, lets just hope that the game plan we see is better than that against Collingwood a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry Mitch but selectors have got it right

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I'd say Mitch may have played his last game. That battering ram style has just worn him out unfortunately.
