Changes for next week

[borderbarry]

I dont think they will take Sipposs to W.A. at this stage. He probably did not do enougth today. Perhapd Gram may be better off after the break he has had.

[Junction Oval]

Early days yet. Everyone but Kosi played well, so it is Mc Evoy for Kosi to start with.

Is Winmar injured or just sore?
Sippos is going to be a gun, but looked tired at close quarters today and may need a rest.
Of the others, Blake, Peake, Polo all should retain their places.

Will re-consider in a couple of days.

[desertsaint]

shocker by kosi but he took a real hard knee to the head early - followed up with another minutes later.
aside from the injury - first should've been a free, second wouldn't have happened.

[SainterK]

He may of sustained a decent concussion, of course that doesn't matter, it's Kosi....

Probably did it on purpose so he wouldn't have to put in for the rest of the match?

[mad saint guy]

Winmar should be out - He's not ready. Twice he copped decent hits and lay flat on the ground like a corpse for the next minute. In the heat of a close game we can't afford to have a player who can't take a hit.

Kosi gets another shot as McEvoy's extreme lack of pace wouldn't do us much good at Subi. Blake performed well as the backup. Siposs didn't have much impact other than his assist and goal, but he's a player that needs to be given time an opportunities. Peake played well and will keep his spot. Gram should have to show that he's prepared to give 100% at Sandy before coming back. Hopefully either Johnson or Smith gets a gig for Winmar. Polo did enough to hold his spot and Steven had a breakthrough game as an inside mid rather than a defensive forward.

B: Gwilt, Dawson, Dempster
HB: Gilbert, Fisher, Goddard
C: Jones, Armitage, Peake
HF: Schneider, Riewoldt, Ray
F: Siposs, Johnson, Milne

Foll: Koschitzke, Dal Santo, Montagna
Int: Steven, Polo, Blake, Cripps

Emg: McEvoy, Smith, Clarke

I'm sure that Kosi would be even slower and less agile than Mac!!

Thus, I would like to see Mac in for Kosi.

I'm not sure if Johnson is fit (to take Winmar's place if injured), but if he is not, maybe Alistair Smith gets another go.

You wouldnt have a clue. Both those hits hurt his shoulder. Are you saying he is weak because I suppose that is easy from the cheap seats. Anyway he probably will miss this week through injury so you get your wish. And as for Ben being slower than Kosi, that I wouldnt know but Ben gives 100% at every contest and doesnt get knocked off the ball like Kosi so he will play. Whether Kosi does as well will be determined by the Blake report.

Winmar is only 18, his first game, unless he is hurt, why should he be left out. its not as if the finals are coming up.

I reckon McEvoy would beat Koz over 20, 30, 40 and 100 and probably quite easily.

[InkerSaint]

Mate, how hard is it to look this stuff up on Footywire?

He's already been on our list for a year, how could he be 18?

Winmar turned 20 on 27 April.

[SainterK]

In Ben, Out Dawson

[InkerSaint]

I dont think they will take Sipposs to W.A. at this stage. He probably did not do enougth today. Perhapd Gram may be better off after the break he has had.

Not according to Ross apparently.

"Siposs is doing enough and he competes well, while Cripps is kicking a few goals when he comes on."

Also talked up Tommy Ledger, gave Peake and Polo thumbs-up, and promised debuts for Walsh and Simpkin before season's end.

[dragit]

OUT: Kosi, Winmar (if inj)
IN: Mcevoy, Lynch

[gringo]

Thank god someone bought up dropping Dawson, so far he has been a solid defender holding down full back. When will we realise he is just pretending not to make mistakes, we should sack him now he isn't the future. Sam Fisher isn't going to get any better and should be let go to make way for Cahill.

[Quixote]

Anyway he probably will miss this week through injury so you get your wish. And as for Ben being slower than Kosi, that I wouldnt know but Ben gives 100% at every contest and doesnt get knocked off the ball like Kosi so he will play. Whether Kosi does as well will be determined by the Blake report.

So you reckon Ben IN Kosi OUT?

Who would come in for Winmar? Surely NOT Gram - would like to see him prove himself in the two's first.

I'd like to see Winmar get another shot on the wide expanses of Subi. Play himself into some form and stay in the team. Fingers crossed the shoulder comes up.

Not so sure Kosi will be out but i dont think Blake, Kosi and Ben can play in the same side so one has to miss. Maybe Ben will miss again. I also hope Nick gets up this week. A home game on a big ground may suit him. If he is out Grammy may come back as we dont have a huge amount of natural runners in the seconds.

And no doubt Winmar would feel more relaxed with that first game out of the way, playing on a ground he knows and in front of family and friends.

From RL's comments I assume he'll go around again subject to any fitness issues.

[bobmurray]

Some of you lot are real comedians.....

[saintbob]

No change, we all know RL never makes a change after a win.

So we might as well name the emergencies, mine are:

Smith, Ledger and Stanley

[Thinline]

In Ben, Out Dawson

Why?

[PJ]

I think you'll find kosi getting another gig like it or not - the boss was quick to his defence.

[saintspremiers]

As much as Raphael has been bad this year, would sandy Subi suit him?

Aboriginal players tend lI've playing in Perth and are usually very effective, Raphael included.

This can get filed with your other theory about aboriginal footballers being specially suited to Brisbane.

Is Raph from Darwin? How many KM's is that from Subiaco?

I think you are somewhere around the mark

I would also add that Gram (possibly playing sore the last couple) rested up comes back with his run on the big ground

Also McEvoy rested to run with Sandilands (obviously injured now) but that would have been the plan

I think there is some method to the rotations (like collingwood last year) and we are still working on the best 22

out Kosi and Winmar and maybe Sipos

AFL football does not suit Raphael Clarke, so no.
