Stanley in the 18...so will he play???

First time named in the 18??

[Junior]

Reckon Stanley will play, cannot imagine the club selecting a kid in the 18 on Thursday night for his first game then leaving him out.

Armitgae does not get much of a go, reckon there were a few who have performed worse when in this year that keep getting played.

[sax]

Would've dropped McQualtar before Armo!
He's done nothing all year!

[plugger66]

They arent going to name a first gamer in the 18 and then not play him. Will play and will start as they cant have both Ben and Stanley on the bench unless of course Ben get the axe which is a big chance on Subi.

[lurker#134]

Good, Glass is out.

[saintsRrising]

I would not mind CJ playing as a FP....

Had suggested playing him there in his first year due to his pace and tackling....

[SainterK]

No Darren Glass is great for a forward line coming into some form.

[samwell]

No Darren Glass is great for a forward line coming into some form.

so what does it mean for ours?????

[35...LEGEND]

No Darren Glass is great for a forward line coming into some form.

so what does it mean for ours?????

Run Amok....

[SainterK]

No Darren Glass is great for a forward line coming into some form.

I meant that he being absent, will help boost the confidence of a forward line coming into some form, ours!

[Ghost Like]

I hope the four that make the cut (I/C) are: Clarke, McEvoy, Geary & Steven

I like the idea of CJ as a forward pocket / half forward SrR...has merit.

Would also like to see Raph as a defensive winger, similar role to Ray.

Hopefully Sreven will be given an opportunity in the middle to learn off Lenny, Dal, Joey & BJ.

[borderbarry]

looks like McEvoy, Peake, and Steven will be cut.

[St Fidelius]

Armo has done little when selected as well, but they are two different players IMO.

Armo is more of an outside player, whilst Mini is more of an inside player.

Peake come in as an outside player and has more pace than Armo, which is needed on a big ground.

[AnythingsPossibleSaints]

They didn't play Armo against Carlton (very quick team) and now for the game at Subi. Horses for courses, I reckon. Looking forward to seeing Rhys! Wouldn't mind them leaving Big Mac at home, either, due to the big ground. Even someone like Blake could have a run around in the ruck.

[Saint Bev]

Doubt Stanley will play. Usually play them in order named.

[Dr Spaceman]

Doubt Stanley will play. Usually play them in order named.

I concur with the others Bev.

I don't think the saints would name a much hyped 18 year old in the starting 18, at CHF no less, and then leave him out.

They are both inside players but yes they are different. Mini plays pretty much permanent forward where as Armo usually plays on the ball.

Surely not! Who's going to play down back if Blake is in the ruck?

[3rd generation saint]

Think Ben will play as he and Gardiner will ruck, Rhys will be used as a forward only.

[SaintSimmo]

Would've dropped McQualtar before Armo!
He's done nothing all year!

He still might be dropped.
And Armo hasnt done much yet either.

[bigred]

WTF is it with Armo...

They have a particular nickname for a player in for one, out for three....

[Spinner]

looks like McEvoy, Peake, and Steven will be cut.

mmm thought McEvoy was a certainty until you made me think twice.



On a large ground playing four potential ruckmen might be a bit risky!



I think they will only play three now.

surely we ain't gonna see stanley, kosi, gardy and b-mac in one side, especially at subi. only one named in the seven on the bench so mcevoy seems to be on the way out again.

i'd be surprised if raph came in as we looked better last week with just the six regular defenders in the side, rather than seven defenders which we'll have if he plays, so i reckon he'll be an emergency.

robert eddy played the last interstate game and wasn't that bad, and he's been good at sandy, so he must have some chance of getting a game. but i think geary's been good and ross likes mcqualter, while the pace of peake and steven will be important, so i don't think it's eddy's day this week.

IN: Peake, Stanley, Steven
OUT: Armitage, Gram (groin), McEvoy

[SaintSimmo]

I think the final ins and outs will be:
IN: Stanley, Steven, Peake
OUT: Gram, Armo, McQualter

I think it will either be peake or clarke in depending on our game plan, if we go more defensive we will be clarke, attacking - peake.
