[dragit]

White deserves his spot back if he's fit.
&
Lonie deserves a crack at Mav's expense.

[fugazi]

White and Rice for Gilbert and Mac.. ..play Savage forward

[Teflon]

Leave Weller out

[ace]

I am not sure of the time when our final team needs to be lodged but Essendon start at 13:10 and we at 15:20.
If Fremantle does NOT beat Essendon we are just playing a practice match.

We should know by half time if Fremantle is trying or tanking.
If so then Rice and White play.
Not tanking, just not being stupid and winning.

Losing by more than 28 points more than Bulldogs lose to Hawthorn.
OR Bulldogs beat Hawthorn pushes us down to 11
If the Dogs win we go to 11 = pick 8.
Hawthorn finish 12 = pick 7 unless Collingwood beats Melbourne for Bucks = pick 6.

They can say a player got injured in the warm-up if they want to bring someone else in.

Only if they're a named emergency!

Leave Weller out

Either

a) Weller is not injured - just a very poor player

OR

b) Weller is injured - in which case the match committee/footy department are morons for thinking he is good enough to play injured

Take you pick of a) or b).

I don't know which one is correct but I am sick of people trying to put a +ve spin on it.
Either one is negative.

In your opinion Connie!!!!!

Your man love for Mav is truly amazing!!!!!

[magnifisaint]

I think Weller will be left out and White and Rice will debut.

[spert]

Sounds like Lonie trained strongly and has done well at Sandy, so that should get him a game over Mav who is just not quite getting it together.

Or Weller is playing so The Saints have a positive spin to lure his brother.

[saints66]

What is the big deal about Mavs brother? Is it that he is Mavs brother or is he seriously a good player. Sure he is young and pretty but he has not shown much improvement this year. My thinking is that it is not worth playing Mav just to get his brother.

[kosifantutti]

StKilda v Richmond
I/change; Steele, Lonie, Stevens, Weller.
Emergencies; White, McKenzie, Rice.
Lonie in for Gilbert.

[saintspremiers]

Wow Lonie in for Gilbo.

Brave changes. Why not give Rice a crack??

[Jacks Back]

StKilda v Richmond
I/change; Steele, Lonie, Stevens, Weller.
Emergencies; White, McKenzie, Rice.
Lonie in for Gilbert.

LOL! Lonie for Gilbert. They can't be serious!

[Proph3t of egan]

Had to to reward Line for being the only player to make and impact in the VFL last week, guess, we are putting Newnes on the neckline rotations

[SemperFidelis]

StKilda v Richmond
I/change; Steele, Lonie, Stevens, Weller.
Emergencies; White, McKenzie, Rice.
Lonie in for Gilbert.

LOL! Lonie for Gilbert. They can't be serious!

One of the strangest decisions this year. Has White fallen out of favour again or is he injured?

[sainters85]

jesus christ they are stupid

[Enrico_Misso]

I think Richo is trying to destroy Brandon's confidence.
He plays a couple of really promising games and then gets dropped.
Now gets a teaser squad promotion.

[StPeter]

I just cannot understand the selectors.

How many chances has Lonie had in the seniors to prove himself?

White has shown great promise in his limited chances and never deserved to be dropped last week. He certainly should have replaced Gilbert.

[skeptic]

To me, the bigger issue is again that Weller goes skating by...

What is it that the match committee is seeing that I'm not with Mav.

At least Lonie is performing well in the VFL, one can understand the logic but Mav I simply don't get it in any form. In a game where we dominated, he had a WHOPPING 12 disposals.

[GregPackhamsHeadband]

Has White transgressed behaviourally? Absolutely bizarre decision to drop him in the first place. Now compounded by this. Unless there's something only the selectors know. It would want to be serious.

[Jacks Back]

He's named as the first emergency so the transgression might have been a small one - like parking in Richo's car space.

[The_President]

Maybe they're trying to boost Lonie & Wellers trade value?
