Got to feel a little for Geary just seems to come up short around September...
Not sure if we need both Dempster and Baker in the side. If Dempster had a shocker against Johnson last game this would have been a easy one, but he did the job whichs makes it that much harder...
Team for this weeks P.F.

dawson has hall, so dempster or blake need to go to even up the side. i'd be surprised if blake went, so dempster should go and be replaced by baker or geary.
IN: Baker
OUT: Dempster
Then I read a little grab in the paper today that Rougheads shoulders have pulled up fine after playing in the VFL, that made me think that Rocket might have a surprise selection for Saturday night.
Is it entirely possible that he might play Hudson/Minson in the ruck, and select Roughead (who looks likely up forward) alongside Barry Hall?

Yeah, if Roughead plays forward and we send someone to him, it might even free up Merlin...Thinline wrote:Agree completely especially when that Grant kid is doing nuthin' but look skinny.SainterK wrote:Hmm, I was thinking along these lines as well Bergholt, that we seemed to tall in defence.bergholt wrote:the backline is too tall.

I just have this feeling the football world (not St Kilda) is buying into their woe is me vibe, as far as I'm aware though, only Cooney and Higgins are unavailable for selection this week?

So are you in the habit of belittling or insulting a St Kilda player???Bernard Shakey wrote:In Bakes, out Dumpster.
I don't mind DEMPSTER and if it's okay to dump on a sanit's player how about I dump some on you???
I would love you to return my PM....
But I guess you are just a faceless coward...
Any wonder some on here feel the same...

Yep. As much as I'd love to pants the fuckers the probability is that it'll be low scoring and close. Nearly always is.SainterK wrote:Yeah, if Roughead plays forward and we send someone to him, it might even free up Merlin...Thinline wrote:Agree completely especially when that Grant kid is doing nuthin' but look skinny.SainterK wrote:Hmm, I was thinking along these lines as well Bergholt, that we seemed to tall in defence.bergholt wrote:the backline is too tall.

Bakes in for the unlucky Eddy IMO
Match-ups
Bakes on Johnno
Dempster on Murphy (whether Murphy is forward or back)
Peake on Harbrow
Jones on Griffen
Gilbo on Grant
Ray / Gwilt on Gia
Stop the run of Harbrow & Griffen and we're a long way to winning.
Just need Zac to play the game of his life on Hall and we'll be in the GF.

with the week off, i wouldn't be surprised if we came out a little slow and were actually behind at quarter time, maybe even half time. the third quarter is where we'll win it, if we're going to, but i still can't see it being more than three or four goals at the end.Thinline wrote:Yep.

clearly you dont with insulting current players and never responding to PMs that shows you up as a liar and a faceless pr1ck that on more than one occasion called me a disgrace.
lol
you got a warning for that and never returned my PM...
Just who is the disgrace???
Faceless and gutless poster and you have no respect at all IMO...
You have been caught out twice and to have the ability to still post on this site is a DISGRACE..
You are nothing but a wanker and I am embarrassed that you follow or support the Saints...
I will get a warning for this, bit it's worth it...
Stand up for what you say and converse via PM!!
You have failed on a few occasions, which really shows what you really are...
BAITER!!!
And a faceless cyber knob

We just cant afford to keep these pr!cks in the game and give them a sniff by getting off to slow starts......but I reckon they'll jump us again.....sad thing is we KNOW this....feels like fate.......love to turn upand blitz them and absolutely turn the tables.
“Yeah….nah””
You just don't know what Bulldogs team is going to turn up.

In bakes, armo/steven,out dempster,eddy
We need baker in he is experienced and is good on Gina or whoever in the pocket or johno he did well against johnston of cats so he can take bigger players.
Armo he ads grunt to the midfield especially if its wet and can kick goals plus is very good at clearences.And if its wet will be extremly valuable to have gives us more flexibility with him in.
Steven is the x factor with his goal kicking and hardness but i think he hasnt played for 4 weeks so thats against him.
Dempster was good against the cats but went missing late in the game plus we need goal kickers and with bakes in he can play the same role.
Eddy we didnt do a lot wrong and would be a bit unlucky but with our team only kicking 4goals 4 in the second half we need more players who can kick goals and are hard.

all i know is it will take a supreme effort, but i reckon the boys have one in them - though i wish there were fewer with injury niggles from last night.
what i can tell you is that if we're more than three goals down at quarter time then we won't win.
