What's the weather forecast for Saturday night?

34 degrees and clear skies - in Oklahoma.

Rain periods and 18 degrees in Brisbane.

I'm thrilled that Dunell's done well and come up.
But are we really trying to punish Tom Ledger or something? Are we really trying to tell him he doesn't have a chance, under any circumstances?
Surely the one player he'd be understudy to would be Jack Steven.
And the weather's going to be wet. Why would a fleet-footed marking forward get the gig over an in-and-under hard-nut ball-magnet?
I don't really understand what's going on.
(Congrats to Sam though.)

[BigMart]

Yeah, I know....

And if we lose in the midfield, questions will be asked no doubt.... And deservedly so

Siposs and Dunell will have to spend time on the wing, with Reiwoldt, Kosi, Schnieder, Milne, Wilkes and one of those in the fwd half.... He most likely will be sub

[perfectionist]

Yes, and just when I thought the coach was learning something. Rule 1: Don't play newbies interstate - they will be scarred for the rest of the season.

How many games have you actually seen Lurker play? He has a ton of ability, but has not learnt how to use it. Until he does, he should stay at Sandy, and if he doesn't wake up pretty soon, may find himself on the rookie list next year.

Congratulation Sam, you have shown what dedication to a game plan and hard work can achieve.

Where exactly do you think Sam's been playing lately?

Lurker?

Explains many of your comments about the young man.

Bernard youve said this a few times and make it sound like Leger hasnt been showing up or even putting.

I dont see many VFL games but what Ive read, game reports etc from those that do - many times this year Leger's been mentioned in an among the bests......what is it he doesnt or isnt doing?

[stkildathunda]

All 3 of Saints emergencies are making the trip to Brisbane today.

[BigMart]

HF in his las game

Wing/HB the game before

HB the two games prior
HF in all the games before that

[BigMart]

It's funny how apparently Ledger has almost become hopeless this year after being promising in 2011 in an attempt to defend the coaches selections....... Considering he was the Bolter of our selections at Sandy last season. He was the only drafted kid who was not a bit player. This year he was mean to be the AFL steal as a DT player.

He is not getting a gig due to team balance, really it is that simple.... I think the conspiracy theories about attitude and skill level are generally Chinese whispers and innuendo... Not sure he's the one who's had two chances.... And his kicking haven't deteriorated in 12 months.... He turns it over a bit, like a lot of mids....

Tom is 19,,,, has the highest disposal average at Sandy and has been in the best players in most games he's played. He's a natural ball winner and is tough.... No question he will make... Just may not be at StK

[Thinline]

I reckon Ledger is being given time to top up the tank.

Simple as that.

There is no point playing guys who can't yet run it out.

And besides, as you say BM, there hasn't really been a slot for him in the middle.

[Wrote for Luck]

my feeling re Ledger is that the style of game he plays requires a stronger body, and he needs to develop this before taking it to the AFL, otherwise his career is over earlier than otherwise

[manoffewwords]

Ledgers team mates say he stuffs around at training and doesn't take drills seriously. That was about six or seven weeks ago. Obviously hasn't improved or is being taught a hard lesson

[desertsaint]

Hi Bergholt
here is a recent team photographic to help you recognise some of their players. hope it helps mate.

Where's Tatum?

[BigMart]

Tank not big enough to be a sub??

I would think he would be perfect.... Hunts and finds the footy, carries it, and has leg speed???
