Round 13 Team Changes

[kosifantutti]

Interchange Ross, Ray Simpkin, Saunders
Emerg Jones, Gwilt Dunell
In Armitage Webster
Out Jones Dunell

[St Chris]

Why is billings done?

In just over a quarter he had 7 touches and 2 goal assists.

He keeps playing for mine unless sore.

I think Billings has played 5 quarters in 3 weeks.

Just looks lethargic to me. We all know he has played limited game time in previous seasons.

A couple of instances last week, he didnt chase, looked a bit flat at a couple of contests...

[3rd generation saint]

Well Jones has been omitted, one wonders if he has now played his last game.

probably....dunny too, one would hope.....

[mad saint guy]

Great selections. It's about time game day performance had an influence on whether you're in the team or not

[bergholt]

Seems likely. One game, subbed off and then dropped is not a good sign.

[dragit]

Well Jones has been omitted, one wonders if he has now played his last game.

Even as a critic of Clint's, I would hope at the very least he would get a farewell game - he certainly deserves that, unfortunately our last 3 games are away, maybe the tigers at the G in 22 would be okay though, 23 in Adelaide is no good.

Are you serious?

For a passenger that has hopped on the back of others good work to receive a farewell game?

if he does, I will rightly fly on down and boo him for wasting my Membership money considering that lack of talent, sub-intellectual player with foot skills of a 10 year old schoolgirl has never actually played well or been useful at all.

He tagged well in 2009. Wow. Much like Jono Brown in 2001...anyone could have played the role he did.

Goodbye <edited by mods>

Jesus mate… whatever you think of him, he's played well over 100 games for the club, don't be so disrespectful.

Classy. He's one of the hardest working players in the AFL. He might not have the talent but he has been a tireless worker. Anyone that bags him should be ashamed. He should be admired for getting every last ounce out of himself. We would be a gun team if the whole team worked that hard.

[terry smith rules]

reading most of the redeemers posts re #4 he is the classless one, and frankly the previous comment(I won't even quote it) totaly unacceptable about any Saint

Done more for the club than redeemer I'll bet
Maybe redeemer should <edited by mods>
Disrespectfull , for anyone who's pulled on the St kilda
Can't believe supporters who make such comments

[SaintPav]

Then chimes in with a comparison to "Jono Brown" which doesn't make sense.

Redeemer just sounds a little <edited by mods>

Farewell games are the biggest load of rubbish. Last years joke was a complete and utter waste of game time that could have been put into someone with a future with the club.

If it makes you feel good, good for you! I'd rather see the club move on and develop the new generation who will play in our next premiership. I hope he played his farewell game last week.

[SainterK]

Lol Bernie, nobody can accuse you of sentiment in football

If I don't get to farewell Len, I will burn down seaford.

I will guarantee Lenny will not have a farewell game, when he's finished he will call it just like the Weagles captain did, with class, not limping out like many others.

I thought last year was great and created a sense of reason for those players leaving and helped the next generation see what loyalty and club means beyond they pay packet. Those are the cultural things you can stage manage. 1 game won't make Billings a better player in 2 years but it might make him feel bonded to the club and see it as more than a work place.

It would be a missed opportunity to me. Those guys that see Clint bust his nut every game and get booed are not going to see the point in putting in the extra work when they get caned anyway. Reward the guys good qualities and it says what the team values are. Stewie Leowe handing over the jumper to Kosi was another great initiative that I still remember.

one of the most enjoyable games i can remember attending.......the whole crowd loved it.....and it was the whole crowd....the feral purples had all left by 3/4 time.....

[Con Gorozidis]

I will go with Jimmy, Dunell and CJ not playing.

You nailed it

In: Armo, Webster
Out: Dunny, CJ

[sendmehomehappy]

Fair dinkum Redeemer you disgusting piece of <edited by mods>

<edited by mods> right off!

The worst kind of supporter.

[realdeal]

Maybe Redeemer can take some of his own advice..

Jones has never been a champion, is on his last legs but he's been a great servant of the club and has always given his all. He has our respect.

That's no way to talk about a good servant of the club who has given it everything. One of the nastier comments I have read on here. Ordinary effort Redeemer. Show a bit of class.

[magnifisaint]

Well I don't think much of Jones as a footballer. He's not up to AFL level and if he deserves another game then so be it. Personally we need to get another one in who has decent foot skills.

[Wrote for Luck]

really glad to see Armo back in (obviously) last time we were playing well was with Armo (and Hickey) in the team.
the inclusion of Webster and the exclusion of Jones should help with our disposal efficiency woes.

[Cairnsman]

Webster is going to be a top liner...good to seem him back. Oh and good to see the Mackay boy back in too. He's a gun.
