Re: Things getting Long & Longer
Roo will play i'm convinced. Straight swap for Steven, that'll be the only change imo.

I fear you nay be right, Saynta. If it was bone bruising, there's no way he'd be right after just two weeks. Having said that, it is Roo we're talking about. Like the Black Knight, he could lose a limb and play, calling it a flesh wound!saynta wrote:I saw a bit of footage of Roo kicking the ball. The wince was more than noticeable.
He won't play in my opinion.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Re: Things getting Long & Longer
If Paddy is fully fit, I would hope that he doesn't make way for Riewoldt. In fact I'd be furious and would consider it so stupid, I probably wouldn't go to the game. Paddy needs to string games together, senior games not VFL games!magnifisaint wrote:Disconcerting to see McCartin on the bench. Does he have concussion???
If necessary Paddy should be picked ahead of Membrey or Bruce.

“He trained really strongly on Thursday and feels really good,” Richardson told reporters at a press conference on Friday morning.
“We made sure that he did everything that he’s going to be asked to do on game day with respect to contest and jumping, changing direction and all that aggressive lateral movement.
“Not only was he able to perform strongly, but pulled up really impressively. So he’s good to go on Sunday.”

Re: Things getting Long & Longer
Embrace the incumbent, everything is far better now than it would be under Shorten. He is quite similar to Donald Trump with the exception that he hasn't made a penny of his own money, but is good at spending the money of others. He started his work life as a very mediocre public servant (if you discount his work experience job at Collingwood FC where he was sacked for knicking Grand Final tickets and selling them) and has never held a job on merit. His intelligence is also a fraction of Trump's.saintspremiers wrote:Hope you lot who vote Labor understand that could mean Bill Shortfuse being PM.
I don't think even drinking a keg of Hawke's Lager could help me get over that.
If this idiot is ever PM, God help us!

Final final teams are actually 90 minutes prior to game time

Re: Things getting Long & Longer
So we are one down in the midfield (losing our best genuine onballer) but we are keeping all of Webster, Savage & Joey in the back half where we are overloaded. Unless Joey plays midfield but then we don't get his good kicking from the back. Don't like this balance. We struggle in midfield rotations as it is and now we go one down. Brisbane could smash us in the middle and then we will chase tail like for 3 quarters against Melbourne.kosifantutti wrote:Final r3 Sunday teams named:

Roo could easily have had another week off and we could have played Sincs or Minch to help us match it against Beams, Rocky, Zorko et al. If Roo goes down sore mid-game I will be very unhappy with the selection panel. We lose Steven's speed and get Roo who lets be honest lumbers a bit. REally worried we are going to be slow and get beaten in the middle. Need a huge game from Hicks.

I'm not convinced Roo plays... my money is on Long or Sinclair to be a late in
