Zac and Mini

[Stephen Theodore]

I am sure he will to.

Maybe Heyne out, and that would be it.

Wouldnt be surprised if there were no changes (barring injury of course)

[Bernard Shakey]

After only 60% game time this week I think Ross has had enough of Zac.

Mini needs a rest.

Steven and Geary or Eddy to come in.

im sure he will but i agree with your ins and outs

[PJ]

No change

[Spinner]

McQualter will be out this week.

Is going nowhere fast as a HFF right now.

[PJ]

Mini I can cope with but I really hope Ross persists with Stanley and Heyne - I hate it when new players come for 1 week then disappear. Very little to be learnt from 1 game - it'd be pretty much a blurr with the adrenalin pumping. Give these guys a few weeks to get a proper feel for it.

[saintspremiers]

BigMart, no offence - but what are you on?

We had a decent win, and you are calling for 3 outs, with no big names returning.

Fair Dinkum!

i agree with you on that one. considering they are a very top heavy team (the eagles) it was surprising at how little time he had on the ground.

[Eastern]

I see that mini will be competing with Nick Heyne & Tom Lynch for that HFF spot in the not too distant future. May the best man win !!

[Quixote]

Didn't know Zac only had 60%. Very interesting.

Mini has run out of tickets. We have a plethora of players who could play his role. Heyne, Geary, Steven, Eddy, Lynch.... give them a shot.

[borderbarry]

For his stats, he may as well have had 6% game time.

[joffaboy]

Are Gilbo and Armo in?

[degruch]

Are Gilbo and Armo in?

I'm tempted to use the old ins and outs gag again.

[MCG-Unit]

......I really hope Ross persists with Stanley and Heyne - I hate it when new players come for 1 week then disappear. Very little to be learnt from 1 game..........

Well that's what happened with Eddy this year, one game (quite a good one IMO) then tipped out...

what? armo keeps going in and out

From my understanding there will be a major out later on this year.

[BAM! (shhhh)]

Question for the masses and specifically for BigMart as well:

What do people think the right balance of kids is in a side expected to consistently be able to compete and win? Regardless of other impact like gameplans, or of the necessary outs to get those kids into the side.

Right now, we're looking to Armitage (26 games), Geary (33 games), Eddy (24 games), Steven (3 games), Heyne (2 games), Stanley (1 game), McEvoy (16 games) to be able to provide AFL grade talent at some stage in our future. One can probably add Lynch to that list. The oldest of the group is Essy at 22, and both Armo and Geary will turn 22 this year.

Consistency tends not to be present in the 18-22, < 50 game players... but the only way they get those games is to play those games. In the case of Armitage, McEvoy, Geary and Eddy, they seem to be at the "tweener" stage of being ready.. but inconsistent.

Form or forcing, what would people here do? For mine, other than the glaring absence of a certain superstar CHF, the balance isn't bad - selecting McEvoy on form as well as necessity, and a couple of developers gives some room for kids to have bad days, but if you get up to 5, then it becomes tougher to carry them and expect to win.

Are you naming players in disrepute?

[Stillwaiting]

Hope Zac stays in, Crows have a few tall fowards.

Also hope that Stanley and Heyne get another game and that Big Mac folows up his great game last week with another good one

Never gets old

[saint58]

I am sure he will to.

Maybe Heyne out, and that would be it.

There was a great player for the saints i used to watch from the animal enclosure named stephen theodore he was a left footer and a tough nut played i think in wing or forward pocket sometimes on the ball loved the wet at moorabbin (it was allways wet down there )any relation.

[Con Gorozidis]

No Change


(but looking for more from zac, heyne and mini)

[SainterK]

Out Zac
In Steven
