I don't think there will be any change based on form.
The only change may be if someone doesn't come up, but hopefully Dal and Gram will get up.

Eddy has a huge role next week. He will be on O'B rien or Maxwell and mini will be on the other. Not time for Jack even though i really rate him.jonesy wrote:Probably no change. I would of played Bakes
Probably doubtful,but wouldn't be totally suprised if Jack Steven came in for some added zip and an x factor . That would probably mean Eddy go's out,who has been giving his all,just a shame he's not clean with the ball

Based on form Mini would be barely hanging on.saintnick12 wrote:I don't think there will be any change based on form.
.
Only 68% TOG ina game where both Dal and Gram played large chunks injured. Particularly with Dal when being injured being preferred up forward to a fit Mini.
Luckily for him, but maybe not the Saints, is that Sandy have not been playing.

I am of the view Gram won't get up. All that groin history, and looked a little resigned to his fate when getting a rub down on the sidelines...
Hope I am WAY wrong.

If the worst was to happen and Gram doesn't get up who would you replace him with?Thinline wrote:I am of the view Gram won't get up. All that groin history, and looked a little resigned to his fate when getting a rub down on the sidelines...

Eddy was fantastic last night, played the role that Mini did in 09 and was supposed to play this year. No way he'll go out. I'd say no change unless someone doesn't come up, in which case Baker would be first in.jonesy wrote:Probably no change. I would of played Bakes

The only one in any sort of danger of being omitted is Mini (although I've defended him all year) given I reckon Eddy's gone past him, but it's a very minimal chance IMO.
We arent going to bring in a player that hasnt played for 13 weeks and then play him in a position he has never played in IMO of course.spert wrote:I would almost consider Baker as a defensive half forward, for either Eddy or Mini, and put a bit of physical pressure and nastiness on a few of the younger Woods backline.

They highlighted them, but also said they would be highly unlikely to be in any trouble. As JB said, you have to really do something bad to get put out for a GF. I might be biased, but I think the Daisy front on head high contact was worse than either of those.missgez wrote:On Game Day and The Footy Show they are making a bit out of the Dal bump and BJ backhander... what do you guys think?? Surely there was nothing in either of those???

None of the three incidents were hard enough contact to be reportable, especially in lieu of a GF.

I think Daisy will be fine too, but in terms of degrees of seriousness, I think its a little worse than our boys. I think all three will be fine.saintspremiers wrote:Daisy will be fine also.saintnick12 wrote:They highlighted them, but also said they would be highly unlikely to be in any trouble.

No change IMO. Compared to last time we played Collingwood I think we're looking quite a bit better on paper
OUT: Pattison, Geary, Steven, Riewoldt (shell form)
IN: McEvoy, Dal, Santo, Eddy, Riewoldt (fully fit unstoppable finals monster)
Much better preparation this time around as well. Last time we had a flu-infested team with a six-day break before travelling to Brisbane the round before the Pies game. Now everyone is fit, healthy, had a week's rest followed by a nice tight half of footy followed by a footy clinic in the second half as preparation.
We've got the experience, the players and the game plan. Just need to give a top performance on Saturday and we could have a flag.

Geary is unlucky, he actually hit some good form as the year went on. Eddy was tough last night, doesn't shy away and will play. Mini plays his role and there is no reason why he'll be dropped, he isn't in the team to kick a bag.
When you think of players on the sidelines, Steven, Geary, Armo, Bakes, Miles, Stanley then Lynch, Smith, Gaertner, Walsh & Raph (injured) - its a tough gig being a fringe player at the saints.
No changes this week, Bakes will just be the Max of 2010.
