Polson brings both.Polson would have made 2/10 of SFA last week, he would have cowered like the rest of them. Im over LOB and Polson, LOB in particular brings nothing. Polson tackles and applies pressure, doesnt kick goals or win a high number of possessions. You can only go so far with 1%ers.
It's about time we reward effort, and penalise a lack of.

If we are to believe Andrew Russell, Simmo, Plowman and Cuningham should be good to go with Jones still ‘a couple of weeks away’. I think we need an actual defender down back rather than Casboult. We might play Goddard and they might play Rowe!!

That's a bad concussion for Jones. I hope they apply due care

Saints dont really run with a tall forward line, they have leadup types like Membrey and Bruce and then rely on smalls like Billings,Gresham and newbie smalls Parker and Young.
They will look to run it in and hitup Membrey in particular, he doesnt miss very often so denying him the footy will go a long way to winning the game.
Parker is a highlight reel player, can kick the freak goals and also takes big speccy's like Liam Ryan but lacks consistency.
Josh Steele usually plays on Cripps and does ok, Dunstan is the relief tagger but there is no Jack Stevens this time and they only have junior ex forward in Marshall doing the rucking.
If we do our homework, plan properly we should win this game and win well IMO.....Saints are injury ravaged and run a very small non physical team which should suit us.

We have been the Saints bitches for years. I don't know where all the confidence comes from, we will probably get done by 5-6 goals. Its at Marvel where we have a shocking record, dont know where the circuit breaker will come from. Jones is another f/n away, the "stable back 6" is not there.
For mine
Outs: Murph, LOB, Ed, Charlie, Dow
Ins: Anyone with a pulse (not Polson) and who gives a fark about the jumper.

They have a lot of injuries, Stevens who has been a monkey player for us for years isnt there and they dont have a recognized ruckman.
Things are so bad they will probably have to rush Sam Rowe after injury back in this week to help out down back and in the ruck.
Dont see them dropping Dow, Charlie or Ed....

Really hope we win.
That's all I've got...it's doing my head in. :-\

We seem to find ways to outdo previous stinkiness. We must arrest this trend. We must also arrest the trend of running players into form. We need to keep Billings and Gresham on a tight chain.

As for Charles, he is dead set taking the piss ATM. Word on the street a while back was that he was off the rails which I laughed off. I am now starting to wonder.
Doc and Crippa kicked the coaches out of the room Monday morning and had stern words with the players. I hope they hit them right between the eyes because Sundays effort was unjustifiable, the excuses are over. I hope they had the hard conversations about careers being on the line and the coaches neck being on the block. If it's a case that they want him gone (despicable if true), keep dishing up that embarrassing tripe and its only a matter of time. I was confident at the start of the year, I really was. All of a sudden, I have this feeling its going to get a whole lot worse. Hope to God I'm wrong but...
