For mine.
OUT.. Lonie, Weller, Longer.
IN>> Roo, Holmes. O'Kearny if we can promote him. Otherwise I would consider Armo. Half a game from him would be better than a full game from Lonie or Weller.

put it down to my age and addled brain, but is Koby Stevens anywhere near selection? I have no recollection of how long they said he'd be out for.

Why would Membrey be out?

I'm sad to say this but I think 8cres will come out due to Richo going ballistic at one of his brain fades and also due to the second last goal and last play when he left the hole for Gray to run into.

So Out 8cres In Rooey
If Stevens is fit he comes in for Lonie

Surely Lonie can't be selected again.

In Roo, Marshall, Stevens (if fit)

Out Lonie, Weller, McKenzie

I would still prefer Hickey or Holmes to Longer but won't happen. (Hickey's last 2 weeks in VFL ok, BOG or close to two weeks ago)

I think Lonie in the ruck would be more value than Billy- he would take more marks around the ground!

Lonie in the ruck - Hhhmmm - well he is the only one who seems to always jump against bigger opponents in a marking contest - while others stand around. I think he impacts at least one mark per game that you would think he is a dead certainty to be outmarked (eg against their tall backs) and brings the ball to ground.

Right, so it's all Acres' fault for kicking 5 goals thirteen or whatever it was. Need to show some faith in the kid.

Hickey will need to string a few together at the VFL level - hope he can do this.
Holmes? a bit of a sideshow i am afraid. In five games has only ever taken one mark. Averages 1 kick and 3 handballs and lacks the game understanding. Dont think that is the quantum leap forward needed. Certainly was worth a try from the marketing perspective though

Not being argumentative, but why would Acres be considered elite. I understand the line of thought that any good player given consistent selection and roles can develop better than otherwise but I wonder if Blake is like that horse that looks good in the yard occasionally comes home hard but always just misses. He is tall seems quick but doesn't seem to break tackles or make good decisions like elite players do.At some point Marshall and Battle need a fair crack too - Messers Lonie, Blake and Weller would seem to have had a fair chance to show what they have got and I suspect they average well under a goal a game.

it's inherent and part of Saints DNA...
Baroose drops to VFL, plays the Northern Blues...
his opponent- the footy equivalent of a Ford Falcon that was used as a taxi and is now rubbish-
by the name of Liam Jones- gets 12 marks, 26 possies, gets named BOG...

Saints can be relied on to run into form, opponents, and whole teams.

Come on Yorkeys...it's all about the romance!!
I drive my little 4 cylinder in the hills, and when I am in front of a HSV or Subaru, I pretend I am in a Maserati Gransport, but when they pass me,
I realise just how deluded I was.

It's what makes a Sainter a Sainter. :shock: :x

Yes yes sorry sometimes I forget the romance - of course you are right. I resolve to lighten up. Thanks for the heads up. Go Sainters in whatever vehicle we travel. I choose to believe the eighth cylinder is about to fire. Thanks again Wellard.
