Dream Team/Vic Team St. Kilda Players

Wollongong_saint · Wed 07 May 2008 6:07pm

Just had a look at the squads for the match this weekend and saw that Dal Santo is the only Saints player selected to play in the match!! In other words, while Riewoldt's omission was forced, Hayes, Kosi, Montagna and Gram have all lost their spots.

I don't really care because I would just spend the whole game worried they would get injured, but it's a bit of a slap in the face to our club at the same time.

Does anybody agree?

LENNY LEADS THE WAY · Wed 07 May 2008 6:11pm

Not a slap in the face as other then hayes the other guys don't deserve it.

BASED ON THIS YEAR

Wollongong_saint · Wed 07 May 2008 6:13pm

So it's a slap in the face to Lenny at least.

LENNY LEADS THE WAY · Wed 07 May 2008 6:15pm

Yeah Lenny is stiff been very good this year but if u look at the dream team squad it;s hard to kick some1 out.

Gotta remember lenny was fighting against the whole country Dal was fighting against 1 State,

In my opinion Dal is lucky to still be there and still may be cut.

Even Kerr is in the team. Isn't he suspended? And Corey Enright......if he didn't play for Geelong he wouldn't have found a place in the team.
Lenny is a star and has been in much better form than Dal Santo and a number of other players on that list.

Bizzare.

Lenny's clearly good enough for the DT side. He's at the top of the league in terms of clearances and disposals. His disposal might not be fantastic so far, but he's got great skills and that should improve.

I'd say they're slapping themselves.

The other two are not Vic's either. Don't ask me where they are from but they are listed on the Dream Team. And they're stolen Hayes' spot!!

Wollongong_saint · Wed 07 May 2008 6:19pm

The reason I'm annoyed is because I was going to barrack for the Dream Team being an honourable New South Welshman but now there are no Saints representing I have lost interest. Ho hum.

This is outrageous! I thought we had the most talented list in the universe!??!

Only one player!!

Go for the Vics based on the fact that's where the saints are from bugger the dream team.

Wollongong_saint · Wed 07 May 2008 6:22pm

We don't have the most talented team and they're in poor form, but this game should be about representation from all clubs in my opinion, makes it interesting for everybody watching. Hasn't Trent Croad played two and a half games this year? He gets automatic selection because he happens to be playing for Hawthorn who are playing well.

Leigh montagna should be in

Every good team needs a good water boy so yep give Joey a run

Only having 1 player in the Dreamteam game is an absolutely brilliant result for the club considering we currently sit 5th on the ladder

Collingwood have 4 - Fraser, Pendlebury, H Shaw and Davis

Time to rest get a bit of perspective and coming out firing

I didnt rate Corey Enright before 2007 and i dont think i ever will, does a few good things but nothing to get excited about.

Is he actually in the starting team or in the squad? but if its the later then i dont think he will play.

Round 8 is not this week!

Eastern · Post: # 562673Post **Eastern** » Wed 07 May 2008 11:26pm

I thought I heard that Dal has also been cut from the Vic side. That leaves NO saints in either side.

I'm happy with that as it gives the guys a well earned rest. ALL OF THEM !!

dcstkfc · Post: # 562705Post **dcstkfc** » Thu 08 May 2008 12:24am

It is as much a travesty that Lenny isn't in that Dal is!

And what about triple EJ Whitten Medallist Sir Robert Harvey

Huzzad · Post: # 562716Post **Huzzad** » Thu 08 May 2008 12:34am

Lenny or Harvs should have got a spot. Lenny has been great this year. Harvs started slow, but he is a champion and last 2 weeks have been solid. Even if it is for sentimental reasons, Harvs should have atleast been playing.

bobmurray · Post: # 562732Post **bobmurray** » Thu 08 May 2008 1:08am

Kosi was cut from one of the squads as well,but that was understandable
based on his current form.....

Saint_in_SA · Thu 08 May 2008 1:12am

Good news - none of our players have made it in the Hall of Fame game, no need to worry about injuries and we are in 5th spot.
Bad news - possible that our out of form players will not improve and continue to get games ahead of the kids and see us plummet down the slippery slope.

Disappointing given our players lacking form that we have not got a contender for the Rising Star like other clubs seem to have, ie Cyril Rioli, Woenamirri? Kieren Jack, Gamble etc

PLAY KIDS!!!!

[quote="Wollongong_saint"]Even Kerr is in the team. Isn't he suspended? quote]

The AFL have given him an exemption to play. I like Danny Kerr, but this is wrong.

Reeks of desperation from the AFL to encourage interest in a flawed concept.

Roll on Friday week

They stated before the start of the year suspended players could play so I dont think it is desperation. It was already approved.

Doesn't not make it a stupid rule though. Ughh. Oh well at least now there is absolutely NO EXPECTATION from the football world on our players or club to perfom.......we seem to play better when we don't have that sort of pressure.
