Guess this weeks ins and outs

[St Ick]

I'd like to see Roo, Joey, Webster, Acres, McKenzie and Weller coming in. Obviously that's too much.

Outs... Paddy, Shenton, Curren, Saad. Hard to find two more to be honest. Sinclair probably not deserving of being dropped/rested but imo I think the ins are knocking down the door too much to be ignored.

So it would be...

Rooey over Paddy
Webster over Shenton
Weller over Curren
Joey over Saad
McKenzie and Acres almost have to come in, who for is a tough one, but surely VFL form for three plus weeks deserves to be rewarded!

How has Saunders sandy form been? any chance he could come in for Saad,as I reckon he could help in midfield.Seems a forgotten player

Seems to be one of those players who is neither here nor there...got dash and can get the ball, but needs a bit more physical presence I reckon, and he is up against Acres, Minch, McKenzie who are knocking on the door, so he needs to really impress at Sandy

His issue is his disposal by foot and decision making.

His ability to get the ball and aggression cannot be questioned, but he lacks class and has gone behind the likes of Lonie and Sinclair who are more the types he is up against. Unfortunately for him, those two are sublime by foot.

Either the Saints now have their mole (doubt it), Joey pulled up sore, or he is having a run with Sandy.

From a previous post


Roo trained at about 80% Did a few sprints and participated in match simulation. The problem is he missed quite a few sessions earlier this season so he hasn't got a full preparation under his belt. Pulled up ok. Mav will still have another test. Joey trained full on and was doing fast laps at the end with no apparent soreness, surprised he wasn't picked. Minch has a bit of calf tightness but trained. Marksworth was on the track for an hour or so doing fast track work. Both Farren and Seb participated in the match simulation but obviously didn't go full tilt. As did Sippa. Sammy did slow laps and Payney was working his arse off doing fast lap work as well.
And as I said on a previous post Spencer was worked hard and was getting continuous encouragement and advice from both coaches and players. Where and when to run to is his main problem.


So, to answer your question I have no idea, should know later today. And as for the mole comment.. Do you really think I would pass on any restricted information. Half the sport stations were there yesterday.

I don't think its a surprise Joey was able to train at a good intensity...if he's chipped some cartilage, had a washout...it's all about swelling and pain after doing a certain activity, and weather it will get thru 180 mins of footy even with some probably local anaesthetic on board...so it's going to be today, tomorrow as to when he'll know if it's right...pretty easy to make changes and i wouldnt be surprised if they brought him in if it pulls up as hoped. if it's still very sore and swollen at 48hrs, he wouldnt get up.

Thanks Tony,
I guess they need to be very conservative with him & not play him until he has fully recovered.

Even if Joey pulls up OK.....can he still be selected to play this weekend? He hasn't been named in the squad for this weekend, so can the Saints make a last minute replacement and add him to the squad if he is determined fit to play. I thought the final team could only be selected from the squad originally announced. Am I wrong in that assumption?

I am also under the same impression as Loris.

You're both basically right, but in this case "can't" just means that there's a fine applicable if we do. Still it would be very unusual and unlikely to happen with a high profile player like Joey.

Thanks bergholt for clearing that up.
