Gardiner is still effective.
Must put Kosi in Ruck and give McEvoy more game time.

Yup. Spot on.

Kosi's pluses around the ground will far outweigh any extra taps King will get IMO.

Stick Ben at FF to replace Kosi. Slot BJ at CHF until Roo comes back.

Yeah, but do you trust Kosi to kick 5... or do you trust BJ to kick 5 week in... week out? Kosi. Goddard will have his off weeks in the forward line and couple with his anger and impatience at times it might compound the issue if things are not working. so Kosi for mine Serious? Let's see what happ...

Yeah, but do you trust Kosi to kick 5... or do you trust BJ to kick 5 week in... week out?

Similar to my thoughts.

Except that I has Zac penciled in.

Having Ray and Gram out was damaging.

Question about Steven is: Does he have the tank for a mid role?

No... we are the Saints. Every player is expected to get 30+ touches every game... otherwise we should delist them. Good point about game time Fid. I can see the irony there. :lol: Fairdinkum, we are a precious mob. It wasn't that long ago that we were happy to only lose by 10 points. These young'u...

I know this is lazy, but is Gaertner a rookie? He did ok in the NAB cup. yeah. hes a rookie. certainly next in line for promotion to senior list you would think. Well unless they know something we don't about Roo... why not promote him and put Roo on the LTI list? Unless they are confident he'll be...

Well... I gotta say that when you consider how effective King is in the ruck, one wonders if we'd be at a disadvantage with Kosi in there?

Would certainly do a Dean Cox around the ground.

I'd say ruck ahead of CHB.

Oppo coaches would just put a mobile fwd on him and run him ragged.

Quick Report - Might put more detail depending on how quickly I get over this loss. McEvoy - Loved his leadership, this bloke was running the midfield group - very vocal in the huddles. Got dominated by Minson in the ruck, but his ground work was great! One instance he dodged a couple of players to...

Put Milne on him and fcuk with his mind.

Let him snap and it's all over.

It was windy and slippery.

I just wonder if playing all those games under the roof is good for us.

We seem shyte in the wet.

You can guarantee that Gram would have been #5 last night, Roo #6, Ray a more distant possibility. Seems Mini has dropped off the list. Steven is a genuine goal kicking mid/forward IMO, so maybe a good inclusion for next week? With the team behind the ball last night, there was never much of a chan...

Not making excuses... Gram and Ray out means that we are 2 mids down. So BJ has to go back in. Otherwise, you'd play him fwd all the time. Agree that we need an alternative fwd line. I'd seriously look at throwing Zac up there also. Kosi is a real concern IMO. Eddy is so so, and even Geary isn't qui...

Yeah... Williams knew back then that Roo would be out etc. What a prophet. :roll: Take out the 3 dogy decisions and we would have won. You only managed to count 3?????? Carp, I must have been watching a different game. I was trying to be reasonable. :wink: 1- the high tackle on the Port player near...

He had plenty of time. Disgraceful decision.

Really, I dont enjoy losing but to play that poorly, get spanked in the frees and still only lose by ten points is sort of miracle.

do Atheists believe in miracles?

Yup... was wondering why he wasn't tagged.

Gilbo... are you serious?

Even allowing for the slippery conditions are ball use was often poor..particularly up forward. Lots of "blasting" at goals.. Not picking on Sam Fisher..but when the game was live he had a team mate in support and could of run in closer but chose instead to blast away. Yes, some poor deci...

Anyone else want to underestimate Gram and Ray's importance?

Good morning. :D All I can say is wow. Some good answers there Gaz. Respect.

Well the young fella was right. No one cares. In the end, it's not how clever you think you are... the words... the pictures... It's the what you do with your life. Did you experience love?

You're gonna hate me for saying this, Sainternist, but I think Essendon and Collingwood have taken Anzac Day to where it is now. I like the idea of last year's Grand Finalists playing on Anzac Day but what if it was Sydney v WC? I really think Australians have really embraced Anzac Day as a result ...

Jumping at shadows people. Take a deep breath......then breathe out..... Waldron was faced with an impossible task at Storm.
