Changes for Hawks game

[saintspremiers]

OUT
Blake
IN gwilt

maybe kosi, for someone

Needs another game in the magoos IMO especially against the Hawks which is tough.

[borderbarry]

After yesterday, and going on the fact that we still need players who can kick the ball, Sipposs would be the first one In for mine.

[AnythingsPossibleSaints]

Considering I was genuinely shocked that he wasn't in our side from the start of the season and that he had a good game yesterday, I don't have any argument with that.

Sorry to break protocol, but the next month defines us. Team
Selection discussion needs longer this upcoming round. It's our finals
In May!

[defacto]

OUT: Blake, Wilkes
IN: Kozi, Newnes

[PJ]

This weeks ins and outs are going to cause the coaching team some real headaches - Wilkes really doesn't deserve to be dropped but probably will be - hope Kosi can continue where he left off.

[Fazer]

Wilkes doesn't deserve to be dropped, he did everything that was asked of him last night as well as the previous weeks for Sandy. Kosi needs to come in, he was the most dangerous forward against Freo and has been playing well. How's Roo's knee????? Is it time to push him on to the wing a la Matthew Richardson in his twighlight years, and give him free reign. He can offer a chop out in defence and his footskills inside 50 are generally spot on. I don't think we can have Stanley + the aforementioned inside 50 together. It would free him up a bit as well maybe prolong his career instead of getting smashed up forward. Would add another dimension.

in SIPOSS

out GRAM

[mullet]

With Gibson injured shouldnt we go tall and stretch their defence????

Hi Eastern, I've interpreted Plugger's thread to be about predicting what the club's selection committee (as compared to what should be the official selection committee here on SS) will actually do.

That said, I'm one who has been guilty of posting what I hope will happen c/f what I predict will happen at selection.

But not to worry , history teaches that as long as the club's selectors don't follow my sage armchair hero advice, we tend to win... However, based on that, Ledger, Sippa and Wilkesy have a nervous week infront of them, and Grammy is safe as...

[jays]

Siposs in for sure

[noob]

Who woud be in the team without knowing their reputation from this point in the season out of Riewoldt Kosi and Wilkes? To me kosi and wilkes(even though he has only played the one game) have done a good job so far.

True, but I think opposition still plan to stop Riewoldt, more so than Kosi and his workrate is still incredible. And Wilkes is just one game, 1 swallow doesn't make a summer.

[Sainternist]

In Kosi and Sipposs.

Out. Polo.. Blake.

This!

[sainterinsydney]

You can't drop Wilkes if he is fit.

[GeorgeYoung27]

One from left field.

Out: McEvoy, Cripps
In: Kosi, Sipposs

I don't think Big Mac should be dropped, but of the big guys, maybe he should go first. Kosi and Stanley can ruck against Big Broc and Hale. And Wilkes plays up forward. Last year Kosi did better against Roughy than Ben (although both were probably beaten).

[plugger66]

This thread disgusts me.

[SaintPav]

Out: McEvoy

LMFAO

[bigcarl]

Kosi probably has better hands (Kosi has better hands than most) and may be a better kick (although Wilkes can also kick it 55m and nailed a couple of rippers tonight), but Wilkes has much more of a physical presence from what I saw tonight and his second and third efforts and tackling and chasing looked much better than Kosi's, so I think that at least evens things up. He also threw his weight around more than Kosi, which is something that we've missed up forward in recent times.

Kosi and Roo (and now Stanley) all have their very positive attributes (some more than others), but none of them are physically strong for their height and all get pushed off the ball very easily at times and Wilkes could give us that muscle up there that the others lack. He looked very well suited to full forward tonight and I reckon Melbourne would have been thrilled when he was subbed off (especially when we kicked it long to Milney four times in a row in the last quarter, only for him to be comprehensively beaten in the air each time).

Yep, agree with that APS. Wilkes might just have that innate goal sense that good forwards need. Plays and leads like a true ff, whereas Kosi is more your ruck/forward.

Hard to know how Wilkes will go against better opposition just yet, but he would have lost no friends last Saturday night

[Beno88]
