The Saints midfield has been a bit off since Hayes did his knee combined with Ball carrying OP and a lack of quality tap ruckman. The bombers almost got them in the wet and Lade turned the game last week for Port and almost won them the game. We need a dominant game from Simmo.
How do you guys think we'll match-up?
Robert Harvey even though he's in his 30s always seems to have a day out against us and rack up the possessions while Dal Santo is elusive. Who gets those two?
In defence Gas will get Gehrig. Schulz held Riewoldt well last time before Hamill slammed him into the Dome turf and broke his collarbone. Do we play Sarge at CHB this week with no Thursty
or Razor?
Raines to shut down that little twirp Milne. Hope Milne brings the same shocking goalkicking boots as last week
.
One Saint who is in form is Gram. He has taken over Aussie Jones' old role and set up many of their rebounding attacks this year. I wouldn't be surprised if we put an offensive tag on him. Perhaps Polo or Hyde to make him accountable.
Up forward we can't rely too much on a non-100% Richo. Even when the big fella has been fully fit Richo seems to want to wrestle with Hudghton instead of running him around. Who else will kick the goals for us? Just 7 goals in the past two weeks is pathetic.
Thoughts?
