Team changes for next week
With uncertainty over BJ's availability it will be intresting at the selection table.
Will Blake be O.K.? Will Peake be suspended? Will Dempster be OK?
I heard Lynch has a broken finger, so may be 4 forced change.
Out:- Dempster, Lynch, BJ?? & Peake??
In:- Tommy Walsh, Gram, Clarke, Kosi (Legder)

Clarke can only play defence and against the Pies whoever he gets could be instant trouble.
Oh when the saints go charging in!
No unforced changes for one.
So... Kosi for Blake (if needed)
Baker/Walsh for Dempster/Lynch (if needed)- depends on tall/small balance
Raph for BJ (if needed)
Ledger for Peake (if needed)

The following week however may provide an opportunity to have a look at another kid.

Winmar shouldn't play against Collingwood. We should be trying to win and he has neither the body or th psyche to stand up to that pressure. Lynch will be out. I find it hard to believe Goddard can play this week; even if if was just a pinched nerve he'll have a damn stiff/sore neck. If Dempster just had concussion and nothing else then he'll probably hold his spot. Since Blake did seem to be walking without serious discomfort I'm going to guess he'll be ok as well. I haven't seen the Peake strike, but it's been quite a while since anyone actually goes for a report made on match day.
Out: Goddard (inj), Lynch (inj), Winmar
In: Clarke, Gram, Ledger
Kosi, Walsh, Johnson and Smith the other potential ins if Blake, Dempster and Peake are unavailable or they want to rest Siposs.
Raph will most likely get a gig. He has played some good footy for Sandy and should never have been played as sub last time. Gram won't spend long in the reserves and apparently played a more team oriented game today. Ledger has match fitness up and has the speed, skill and aggression that we've been looking for all year.

I think Winmar needs a rest, and I think they should bring Gram in for him for sure:
OUT : WINMAR -- IN : GRAM
If Goddard's too injured, bring Raph in to do the marking and clearing out of defence
If OUT : GODDARD -- IN : CLARKE
If Blake's injured, Bring in Kosi to ruck
If OUT : BLAKE -- IN : KOSI
If Dempster's out with concussion, replace with Bakes as a stopper
If OUT : DEMPSTER -- IN : BAKER
If Peake's suspended, bring in Smith as a reasonable runner.
If OUT : PEAKE -- IN : SMITH
If Lynch's finger's a gonner, bring in ? Walsh or Johnston or Simpkin ? -- God Knows. It's hard to start anyone off against Collingwood. Maybe Clarke anyway, or even more going backwards, Mini.
If OUT : LYNCH -- IN : ?? (Prefer Walsh or Johnston.)
OUT : WINMAR -- IN : GRAM

in your opinions we have to go with experience
imo the experience has done sweet f*** all this year
whats kozi done???
clarke? oh yeah, tore up the vfl...not quite
we're playing the pies
it would hurt bringing someone without some experience in as much as bringing someone with experience in thats done f*** all for the year???
not in my opinon

It's maddness to bring in 2 newbies Vs the Pies and keep Winmar and Sippa in also. They would tear us a hole bigger than Kimmie!!!dragit wrote:OUT:
Dempster (inj), Blake (inj)
IN:
Ledger, Walsh
Let Kosi, Gram & Raph earn a recall by playing a few good VFL games, not one, we saw Gamble kick 6 the other week but nothing either side of that…
If Peake & Montagna are out suspended then maybe the door would open early for Gram/Raph.
If we get easily beaten then realism would suggest that we really are too far away this year.Cairnsman wrote:If we beat the Pies does that mean we will become flag contenders?matrix wrote:i think we'll win
the pies will be too confident
we'll play harder better footy than we did in the west
Win, and that suggests the dream is still alive for 2011 IMO.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...

However this integrity in selection process is a real joke…
It takes Lynch 6 good games to get selected…
Polo plays 2 half decent ones - gets a game
Kosi - I don't need to say anything
Walsh/Simpkin - frequently in the best - no games yet
I totally understand the need for experience, but dressing up the selection criteria as having integrity around form is ridiculous. The favorites get plenty of chances when they are terribly out of form, and the wanna-bes have to star for many weeks to even get a sniff.
If we hadn't lost a few close ones this year, the truth is we may still not have seen Cripps, Sippos, Winmar, Johnson,
And walk-up starts would still be McQualter, Raph, Gamble

I think it would be irresponsible by the club to play two players who needed to be carted off to hospital, one knocked-out cold, and one with a bad knock above the shoulders causing convulsions. So I reckon BJ and Dempster out- big loss both of them. Raph is a rabbit in the headlights at senior level and coughs up the ball too easily for my liking- OK at VFL level. So out BJ and Dempster, and Lynch with finger injury, and maybe Blake. In would be Gram, Kosi maybe, though form doesn't warrant it, Walsh maybe, Stanley maybe..who knows?
