Certain in for this week
Jack Steven ...very unlucky to not have been retained and we really missed his youthful spark and energy and run around the packs today.
With CJ and Mini to come back as well Armo and Ball in real danger of being relegated ....
The battle for places will be whitehot from here to september

CJ/Mqualter both walk back in ahead of Jack Steven.
Why would you include Steven now when he hasnt been in our best side for all season?
Jones run, Mqualters fwd line pressure sorely missed.

we all love j steven and want him to be good. but we were 18 zip before he even debuted, so saying we "missed him" is a bit of a stretch .
was just one of those days. if we go in to finals 21-1 ill take it.
im already focussed on week 1 v bulldogs. the fact is the players are only human and are probably thinking the same thing ...

I think pat said we missed his youthful spark, energy and run around packsCon Gorozidis wrote:we all love j steven and want him to be good. but we were 18 zip before he even debuted, so saying we "missed him" is a bit of a stretch .

I agree with pat all that was missing yesterday and it would be nice to get some of that raw young enthusiasm back, whether that comes from Jack or another player it doesnt matter but we did miss some spark yesterday.
However no use looking back we must learn from yesterday and I am sure we will.

CJ and Mini are as injured as their 8 team mates were who missed against Hawthorn.
What we missed yesterday against the Bombers was not youthful spark, energy and run - though some of that would've been handy - it was the hard, first into the contest and move the ball quickly approach that has brought the team success all year. It wasn't that the Bombers were faster than the Saints yesterday, they got the ball and moved it quickly as our pressure was way down on the usual standard. Bottom line was that they were more hungry at the contest while the Saints (a bit like in Sydney) stood back fractionally and that's all it takes.
Enter CJ & Mini.

Graceful, elusive, strong overhead and no Easybeat!

Yeah good post. There was a lot missing yesterday, and I have a feeling it wont be missing againYoung Georgie wrote:CJ and Mini are as injured as their 8 team mates were who missed against Hawthorn.

Bang on again YG...IMO Steven might have been a preferrable inclusion to Ball in this regard, although you'd have to lean towards Ball's experience. CJ and Mini without a doubt were sorely missed, I was very surprised they were ommitted. Unless they were suffering genuine issues, a mistake, with more than perfect hindsight...sure they'll be instant inclusions this week.mullet wrote:Yeah good post.

Surely the club wouldn't be chasing (or sealed?) a new deal with a player who is a 'filler'? Maybe Bally needs a rest this year in prep for next season, but I wouldn't discount his potential importance in a finals campaign.matrixcutter wrote:i think problems were not managed correct and professionally in previous years.
kills me to say it but IMO he is in trouble (body wise, not ability wise)
yet i hope the bloke proves me 100% wrong
