Re: Teams
Yep, they wouldn't, especially Mini. If he has another crap game, "I will Spew Up!" like Terry Wallace once said. He can't even kick goals now from 30m out ffs. Steven and Armo have at least proven they can score and from what I've seen this year offer more at the contest than McQualter.Saint_in_SA wrote:Gee whiz, pick Geelong's bottom five players - it's tough,,, I doubt Mini and Geary would make their team.saintlee wrote:St Kilda

For some strange reason Ross is overly patient with this guy. My gut feeling is he will let us down again tomorrow night but geez I'm praying that he proves me wrong as he cannot be a passenger again tomorrow.
I'm disappointed Armo missed out, however, if someone doesn't deliver and plays s*** or gets injured, he should get his chance.
I would of thought a wet game we could really benefit from a hard in and under player, and someone to hit selwood hard.
I think Mini was very lucky. (And please kick straight during the finals this time)![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

I'm not about to justify Mini's consitency this season, but I thought his Rd 13 game was his best this year, if he matches up particularly well against them....wouldn't you go the proven?
Oh, and I don't think Armo would be taking Mini's postition either, more likely fighting with Geary?

He will only come in if sam fisher is injured. then dempster in and zac to fb and blake to chb.Sobraz wrote:Who will be the late change for Dempster to come in??...
Most probably Fisher??...
There is no way we will go into this game without Dempster in the side...
but the team as selected is our best 22. its the 22 i would have gone for exactly.
and their team looks good too.
sheesh. no excuses for either team. this is a true
CLASH OF THE TITANS.

I should have added that I'd like the time to come when both play in the same side. Gwilt's dependability would allow Raph's natural creativity to run less stifled by the handbrake of fear of f****** up... I reckon, anyway...FQF wrote:Yep.

2009 Ball greater than 2010 Peake? Ball's first two finals last year were not that flash. Yes great GF....but the other two were not better than Peake's current form.FQF wrote:

Last year Gardiner was quite variable and alte in the year tailed off. This year Gardi has been fitter and is cherry-ripe going into finals.
With Ottens not be as good this year, and with Blake being poor around the ground IMO this gives us an edge in the bigman department.
2009 Roo was carrying a knee injury. 2010 Roo is the fittest he has been fora while.

Until MG plays a good final i dont care what he is like in the H & A season. I'd Still rank Ottens clearly over MG but Ben does have Blake covered. Ball and Peake shouldnt even be compared. Totally different players. Armo was supposed to be the Ball replacement and Lovett was supposed to be the bonus player. It has now turned out to be Peake as a new player just not the player RL hoped it to be.saintsRrising wrote:Ball greater than Peake? ball's first two finals last year were not that flash.

It's difficult to argue with all of that but I reckon I would pick Clarke ahead of Gwilt. Gwilt is a better kick though, and seems to have found a clear role in Saints Footy 2.0 (or 20.10?).Thinline wrote:I should have added that I'd like the time to come when both play in the same side.

I agree having them both in the team will be a joyous spectacle.

No. The Ball replacement is to play an extra running player = Peake as it has turned out.plugger66 wrote:

IMO the club recruited Lovet and Peake, who both had issues, hoping that one would make it.
Not sure you can play 23.plugger66 wrote:

Would be handy if you could.

The selcetion of the lets say the outsiders that i do most agree with is Geary.
I think this kid is going to shine, you only have to look at his drop of the ball onto boot to realise hes got the goods albeit need some refining. Hes young hes hard at it and hes going to shine. Give him a little breathing space. He is going to come up trumps and i think he will have a good finals campaign. If he turns to crap well he will quickly be replaced.
Armitage imho should be selcted to replace mini buuut i feel mini did enough last week to keep his spot.

Yeh may,be but it might not rain until midnight..anyones guess ..basically think our team should be suited by anything wet regardless..wonder how close Jack Steven was ??#1GILL wrote:Game doesn't start till 7.45. I would consider that well into the 'evening'.saintspremiers wrote:Good chance of it being dry for most or at least half the game.
Weather forecast is now for a Sunny day, with Patchy rain in the evening.....so it may be even dry for the whole game.
Most of the wet weather action is forecast for Saturday.
Never take a backward step even to gain momentum.....

My only question with Armo is his ability to run/close down space and get to mutliple contests. Seen a few games where Ive wondered if he was sitting on the bench......only to find hes just faded from the contest.
His inside/tackle work has been good recently and if they tag Lenny he'dhave been handy.....I reckon he'll get his chance...
