Watters can't help himself.....

[saintspremiers]

2 late changes yet again.

Why not cut the bullsh.it and announce the real team on Thursday night!

[Buckets]

Perhaps giving 2 players the chance to prove themselves up to the last possible moment?

[GRAMophone]

Whatever reason Watters has (not likely to be comprehended by some on this forum ), if he thinks making changes gives the Saints ANY advantage, it's good enough for me.

[bobmurray]

Doesn't bother me either

[noddy04]

Fine by me as well. I think hes the coach isnt SP ?

[Eastern]

2 late changes. 44 points up at 1/2 Time. That'll do me !!

[ozrulestrace]

Just go with it.

He's the coach he can do what he needs to do and not consult the supporters.

And the problem with the changes would be?

[SainterK]

Meh.

I don't care.

Keeps it interesting

[The Jeff]

I posted this in another thread yesterday. Someone even suggested that it is disrespectful to paying members.

Seriously, who cares?

[saintsRrising]

Did anyone actually ever think that Cripps would play apart from St Mart who told him to HTFU.

[Animal Enclosure]

Saintspremiers you have a serious axe to grind with Watters.

You never stop potting him for some reason

He's a good coach so far. I love our more attacking style. Just don't understand the childish selection games he sometimes play. Blind Freddy could see/sense Cripps wasnt going to play.

WTF?

suck it up princess!

[Scollop]

I have no problem and neither does the AFL. He's abiding by the rules.

You'll find that it creates an ounce of uncertainty for the opposition, a chance for some players with doubts to get up for team change deadlines and it also gives coaches a chance to assess weather conditions, late info on the opponents line-up and maybe also a few other reasons that are important to the senior coaches...And what are the negatives? Fans and forumites will complain I suppose

Why don't you think before you post? sh1t thread from you yet again

[andrewg]

Rubbish thread. Waters has openly said he takes a 25 man squad to every game and in accordance with AFL rules selects the final team 90min before the match. Think we just get used to it, and it doesn't bother me at all.

Well few other teams do it.

What about betting implications?

Our major sponsor is Centrebet.

This is NOT a rubbish thread, it's a real issue.

Maybe the AFL should just get clubs to name 25 man squads that are all finalized only 90 minutes Prior to game time.

[Austinnn]

Nuffie. I knew this would be about you betting. Sucked in, that's all I can say.


What Watters does is fine by me.

Listen dickwad, as I've stated on another thread I don't bet.

Centrebet pay our club money. Just in case you don't understand how sponsorship works.

Capiche douche?

[Dan Warna]

I like the idea we mess with the minds of the opposition.

I really don't care about gambling.

If it gives us a .5% advantage on game day and its legal, go for it I say.

Don't even mind throwing raph in the forward line, Roo at CHB etc. Anything that brings us closer to a premiership.

that said on our current form we are probably looking like we are making up the numbers in the finals unless we can lift a few percentage points.

They do.

Betting? Really?

It's not supercoach is it?

[Wrote for Luck]

why list a player as an 'out' on Thursday, when you still may need to use him on game day?
if we struggle to work it out how do you think the opposition feel?
it's nice.

Now you are looking for legitimate excuses, but that is not 1. As far as gambling and our sponsor is concerned, we are fulfilling our end of the deal so your argument is still sh1t. Late team changes have been going on for as long as I can remember. Where's the issue?

Maybe you should think before you post. A few days ago you started another thread with the heading; "Go Cats".

Seriously....Wtf ???? I don't want to see that here. You are the wad mate -post that subject heading on other forums...not here!

[The Craw]

Next you will be wanting the players to play in the position they are named in ..... wood duck !

[saint6709]

I think centrebet will be ok - don't lose any sleep over them if you can help it
