Winmar played for Sandringham today, so he is unlikely to be one of the emergencies.

Neither Smith nor Johnson did play for Sandringham so either of them could be one of the emergencies alongside Peake and Gamble.

Johnson was omitted on Thursday purportedly as injured.

Final Team named.

Out: Dawson, Johnson, Smith

It's good, I like.

Shame Johnson is injured, but he will get another shot soon I'm sure.

I'd love to see Kosi in the ruck some more, everyone will tell me why it won't work, but I just think it improves his game and ours.

[saintspremiers]

Wonderful.

Smith starts all guns blazing and drops off enough to get dropped.

Standard fare for our new players.

Please, just one half decent newbie that can string together half a dozen games would be nice!

[Bernard Shakey]

Why did Smith not play for Sandy today?

[plugger66]

Why did Smith not play for Sandy today?

I dont know but maybe because Joey is out. We will get fined though if he plays.

[perfectionist]

I dont know but maybe because Joey is out...

Half right. Joey who?

The Kangaroo.

[mad saint guy]

Smith is probably quite sore after his first few AFL outings. He got a taste of it, did some good things and has a week off to rest before building up some form in the VFL to earn a recall. I'm perfectly happy with his progress.

yeah, his first couple of quarters of afl held about 15 possessions, in the next two and a half games he only had about 20.

Standard fare for our new players.

agreed. all kids slow down sooner or later, so that in itself isn't a problem, but it'd be great it someone could just play a few good games on the trot.

still, given the team performances they're participating in at the moment, it's not exactly easy. how good would crameri look in our side? better or worse than gamble did?

[Royston]

Kosi is out and not playing today - I am led to believe.

[Ralphy]

Kosi is out and not playing today - I am led to believe.

Theres a whole team not playing today.

Righto - Monday evening then...

Anyone know for sure?

Koschitzke should be played in the twos, and has done nothing to be considered as an automatic selection. I would have thought with Kosi, it would be better to give him an extended run with Sandy and that way get him some match fitness and confidence. At the moment the guy is not mentally/physically right to play AFL.

I think it's a case of us needing another ruckman - Macca's struggling. Only the conditioning staff would know how fit he is and whether he's ready for a run.

[Quixote]

So what - both Joey and Kosi in doubt for tomorrow??

Who comes in - Peake and Gamble?

Oh my.


Can anyone recall who else didn't play yesterday for Sandy? Just Smith was it? Would much prefer him to replace Joey than either of Peake or Gamble.

Who do you want playing instead..?

the ones without obvious injuries are peake, gamble, smith, johnson and crocker. presumably johnson is injured and crocker is no chance (seeing he's been playing sandy reserves). smith not named as emergency.

i reckon montagna will play, doesn't sound like he's much worse off than he has been all season. gamble for kosi, i guess. so how about a team something like:

D: Blake, Fisher, Clarke, Gwilt, Dempster, Baker
M: McEvoy, Dal Santo, Goddard, Montagna, Gram, Jones
F: Riewoldt, Gilbert, Siposs, Gamble, Milne, Schneider
IC: Armitage, Cripps, Steven, McQualter

weird lookin' forward line if we get roo, gilbo, sipo and gambo down there. it'll confuse carlton and probably our blokes as well.

But that side presupposes that Kosi won't play and Gamble will.
Do you have any basis for this?

nope, going on speculation the same as the rest here.

Gamble wouldn't be much of a replacement for Kosi. I would have thought that, if Kosi is out, Gilbert would be prevailed upon to go forward and Peake would come in.

[Con Gorozidis]

I'd love to see Kosi in the ruck some more, everyone will tell me why it won't work, but I just think it improves his game and ours.

i think 90% of posters want kosi in the ruck?
