Im looking at the emergencies to be changed because the 22 should be the same.

Gwilt....gives us a 3rd tall option but really any of the list acceptable except Eddy who has been very fortunate to have had two finals . Just not up to it.

Sorry Rob. Dempster gets a run for mine.

Love to say Max but it won't happen. Dempster is a must for Eddy!

how can anyone say no change, rob eddy has had no impact on our last 2 games and clearly showed hes not up to it.
Seems like a great kid and gives his all but his best doesnt stack up to the players sitting on the sidelines.

If he plays he will be a liability might as well go in with 21 players.
but in saying that i hope he proves me wrong.

It gona be wet by the looks....Max is good in the wet....desperation and strength to clear the disputed ball. Dempster to play on Chapman also a possibility.

Gwilt, keeping in mind Gardiner kicked 4 of our goals last time, not sure he will be given that freedom again.

I expect no change. I think RL decided on his preferred finals (now grand final) team from the outset.

Personally, I would like to see Dempster in for Eddy.

InkerSaint · Tue 22 Sep 2009 12:04pm

Would love to see Armo but suspect it would go to Dempster on a last out, first back in basis (he played round 22).

With 4 touches last week I wonder if Eddy will hold his spot. He may stay for reasons of stability, or if he trains strongly, or if he serves some mysterious purpose not known to me.

We got 31 players pushing for 22 spots . It is very hard to change a winning team in finals . i just watched the game this morning(tuesday) and trying to find a role for Eddy . he could be used tagging one of Geelong running defenders like a Mackie or Enright .if not Dempster could come in as midfielder or jimmy as a lead up forward

mad saint guy · Tue 22 Sep 2009 12:21pm

Dempster.

Would love to see Max play, but I just don't think there's a spot for him in this team with the amount of running and rebounding required.

You raise a point that perhaps the more strategic among us could possibly address.

Lyon is no dope. He has scarcely made a selection error all year. He clearly has a role in mind for Eddy.

What is it? Is he doing it?

I'm not being cynical - I just don't get it.

The concerning thing about Eddy wasn't the four touches, it was the one tackle. He had six against the Pies.

Look at his tackle stats this year.

He comes in against Port Adelaide - 4 tackles (20 poss, 1 goal)
Round 6 v Western Bulldogs - 1 tackle (18 poss) - he's dropped
Comes back in v West Coast - 5 tackles (11 poss, 2 goals)
Round 16 v Adelaide - 3 tackles (11 poss)
Round 17 v Western Bulldogs - 2 tackles (11 poss, 1 goal)
Round 18 v Sydney - 1 tackle (8 poss) - but he can't be dropped because...
Round 19 v Hawthorn (7 enforced changes to side) - 5 tackles (11 poss) - eight players to return, so Eddy makes way
He comes back in for Round 22 v Melbourne - 6 tackles (13 poss)
QF v Collingwood - 7 tackles (8 poss)
PF v Western Bulldogs - 1 tackle (4 poss)

He was dropped the first time he had one tackle, was saved by the seven omissions for the Hawthorn game, but had had thirteen tackles in two weeks before the Doggies final. He's in trouble.
