Re: Round 9 Team v Swans
ohhhhh P66 was sooo close...
I recon he wanted to go the Siposs/Wilkes change, but erred on the side of caution...
Very happy...

Re: Round 9 Team v Swans
Tom Simpkin named at Full Forward..... WTF..... Also with that emergency list and interchange bench it just stinks of late change
Re: Round 9 Team v Swans
well 31 possessions in last weeks Zeb's game playing midfield, not too shabby at all.....

Schneids would make a great sub for one quarter but if we had an early injury, he'd struggle to play out much more than one and half quarters at the moment IMO.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

You would think Simpkin would be ideal to play on Sam Reid.....stkildathunda wrote:Tom Simpkin named at Full Forward..... WTF..... Also with that emergency list and interchange bench it just stinks of late change

Re: Round 9 Team v Swans
i like this team as a gamble, though obviously it won't line up exactly in the positions selected. more like:
FB: Gilbert, Simpkin, Geary
HB: Dempster, Gwilt, Gram
C: Montagna, Hayes, Goddard
HF: Steven, Riewoldt, Armitage
FF: Milne, Koschitzke, Saad
R: Blake, Dal Santo, Jones
IC: Ray, Siposs, Cripps, Milera
i hope siposs gets a full game, maybe milera for sub this week for a bit of a rest? though he's been good.
lots of small, hard-working players in the side so it looks like the gameplan will have to change a bit, rather than just bombing it long to the talls. that could be a really good thing though.

Who has been playing better at Sandy that hasn't had a chance with the Saints yet? Do you think
Cripps
Siposs
Wilkes
Saad
Have been in better form at Sandy than Ledger this year. You obviously don't like him. That's fine, but you obviously don't watch Sandy either.
Something smells.
If he gets his chance and does no good, fair enough.
He deserves his chance.

Re: Round 9 Team v Swans
Is this the shortest/smallest Saints side ever?
Are we playing in the under 90kg/under 190cm super rules league?

Re: Round 9 Team v Swans
I think the shortest may have been when Jezza was coach and he seemed to try and get as many players who were shorter than him into the team as possible.
That and when the saints first started as people were a lot shorter back then...

Re: Round 9 Team v Swans
Chillax ledger fans…
He's going well at sandy, but it must be mainly a match-up positional thing… Hayes, Dal Santo, Steven, Jones, Montagna, Armitage, Goddard - pretty solid midfield to dislodge, and Ledger seems like a pure mid, He'll get his chance, especially if one or two of those guys get injured…

Re: Round 9 Team v Swans
I'm not saying Simpkin can't play forward, but he's been our best defender all year. Could be interesting, or utter BS

He is our FB and will play there. I dont think he has ever played forward.

whilst we are short of any really big ones
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
most of the side are over 190
weight wise 80 - 85 kg is how you want them , any heavier they slow up !
macevoy is listed as 98 kg , our heaviest
