Don't understand the surprise at Geary. Has been average at best. McQualter remains lucky. McEvoy/Kosi/Gardi ruck combo will test the Dawks big time you'd reckon. Dempster is Baker-lite. Ha. Bakelite. Brilliant...

Did I actually say that. I was talking about having another run with player who doesnt get the ball.

I cannot forget how well he played on Stevie J in the second half of the Rnd 13 game after Baker was injured.
Do the Hawks have a similar type player in tehir Forward line?
Or maybe he can play a similar role on Hodge?

A witches hat for Dempster. Seriously though, Geary definitely for Dempster, Stanley for Kosi and possibly Eddy for McQualter. Peake has shown something and gets another chance and Dawson did well on Buddy last time.dcstkfc wrote:Who would you prefer to each of those 5?Little Dozer wrote:Team selection has already cost this team 1 premiership, looks like it's happening all over again.

Struggle to understand the antipathy towards Dempster. I would have preferred Geary ahead of him but it has to be said Dempster did his job the three weeks before the Collingwood game.
Semmed everyone was singing his praises after his second half against Geelong. Fickle.

IMO Peake has been good.
But again name 5 players to replace the ones you have stated

Strenghth through stupidity should be our new motto.
Kosi the golden child again stays in the side at the expense of Pattison who has played a hell of a lot better than him. Pattison has 3% of the ability of Kosi, yet is still a hell of a lot more productive than this bloke. Says heaps about Justin.
Just a stubborn coach not willing to concede he has made a mistake for the past 12 weeks (excluding his pathetic finals of last year and pre-season).
Not sure of a player who has been carried so blindly and delivered absolutely nothing. Must surely be frustrating for Armitage who has to practically have 10 tackles and 30 touches to hold his spot.

Dempster & CJ will go to Hodge & Burgoyne in my opinion. Reckon Ross prefers Dempster ahead of Geary for his shut down ability, cant be much else. Did the job on Stevie J in the 2nd half a couple of weeks ago.
I actually reckon Geary has dropped off the last couple of weeks, and dont disagree with the selection
Big Patto, however, is a tad stiff, but it looks like Ross is trying to get his best 22 together for the lead in to the finals and obviously he prefers Mac to Patto and Stanley, which in my opinion is fair enough.

Exactly. They must be playing the best "roles" ever in the history of the VFL/AFL. It's very obvious that their role is not to get a kick.35...LEGEND wrote:McQ..Kosi..Dempster...all very lucky IMO.saintkid wrote:McQualter is lucky too.
I imagine Patto would be scratching his head at Kosi keeping his place again, while he gets the chop, after looking far more likely to take a mark in recent games.

That's why the 5 named are "very lucky".

Patto would more likely be hoping Ben doesn't do a better job of the second ruckman role.AnythingsPossibleSaints wrote:Exactly.

So you're saying that Collingwood has a better list than ours...
I would doubt that very much.

Kosi should think himself very lucky. Pattison has shown much more endeavour inthe forward role than Kosi has all year. Ross will eventually have to give up on number 23, unless something miraculous happens in the next couple of weeks.SainterK wrote:Patto would more likely be hoping Ben doesn't do a better job of the second ruckman role.AnythingsPossibleSaints wrote:Exactly.

I know Ross and co would have more of an idea,but I wouldn't have a clue what our depth is like.............you rarely see anything new.
But,that being said, you have to go with what the Boss is doing.............aint done a lot wrong so far.
GO SAINTERS.
interesting comment who would you have replace those players you mentioned in the side? not many players at sandy pushing for selection ahead of the ones you mentioned imo .also don't think you can go messing with the side too much from week to week . making 4 changes a week aint going to help to much i would have thought.no doubt those players need to lift but we still have time before the finals and unfornutely we have quite a few players comming back from injury who have missed a fair bit of footy this year and its going to take a few games for them to get back into the swing of things eg gram ,roo,dempster.good thing is we have secured a top 4 spot so its not the end of the world if we drop a couple of games .and after the hawks game we have a pretty good run home before the finals .so keep your chin up we will be there again and hopefully we will win it this time round god knows we hve been waiting long enoughLittle Dozer wrote:Team selection has already cost this team 1 premiership, looks like it's happening all over again.
