Freezer omitted WTF??

[saintbob]

Newnes and Rice must be the biggest arse kissers at the club, how the f*** did these two stay in???

[howlinwolf]

Brown was rubbed out and not a long time solution so we needed a tall defender to replace him. Goddard is screaming for a go. The season's near ending so why not have a look at him and Austin?

[Devilhead]

He only had 55% game time last week ..... for 14 possessions mind you

Any reason for the limited game time?

[beebarry]

this is just bewildering ......I'm all for Rice continuing to get games, and for that matter, Lonie as well seeing he seems to be improving, but surely Newnes or Armo, known average to below average output players, could make way instead of a guy who has actual potential and has just strung two games together? I know the drums are beating for the Saints at the moment, but unless he is sick or injured then I agree - WTF? Not even an emergency!

Haven’t got a problem with Goddard and Austin, although I think we’ll be to top heavy.

[Enrico_Misso]

Agree - stupid decision.
Is Richo trying to destroy his confidence?
If he is fit let the kid play out the season so we can see what he can do.

But, but, But Richo is a master of player development (NOT!!!)

[MC Gusto]

Stunning move by the club

Absolutely gobsmacked

[Devilhead]

Does anyone know why he only played 55%?

Are they putting him on ice?

Not an emergency either so if I had to guess probably sore, or (hopefully not) injured.

I think he played a similar % game time in his debut too though so maybe we can't read into it

[Peanut Farm]

First time poster but long time follower here. Richo has certainly lost the plot with omitting Freezer. Newnes lucky to be there this week & McKenzie went missing last week. Gotta get games into Freeman, was a stupid call.

[saintsRrising]

so maybe we can't read into it

Though the Outs say:

Nathan Freeman (Omitted), Nathan Brown (Suspension)

Not (Managed), (Injured) or (Not Strong) etc

Yeah but unless I'm mistaken we have seen Omitted used for soreness this year at least once

Newnes has had a dream run of selection and he is GARBAGE.

[To the top]

There are 7 players in this side I would not be giving games to - and that is the reason I do not support the Coach

We are in the position we are in because these players are selected and continue to be selected

We have a 188cm CHF and a full forward who averages a goal every second game

I did note that Freeman seemed to spend more time on the bench than on the ground last week and more so in the second half when his on ground presence was cameo only

This was more puzzling because his first half was more than adequate from where we were sitting

There obviously needs to be changes at the top because there appears no direction within the footy Club

That said, we trust Austin and Goddard shoe something but the lack of quality among our mid sized defenders will again hurt us including the inability to rebound - and I include Webster in that assessment

The Coach appears to have his favourites, matching his own skills of an ordinary plodder

Over 80% in his first game

Yep noticed that too. Why only 55% game time...???

[Royston]

When Weller was 'out' for the Dogs game - for memory is was rested or sore.

He was actually dropped for the game.

[Spinner]

Newnes has had a dream run of selection and he is GARBAGE.

His efforts playing on Johannisen at HFF a couple of weeks ago were absolute garbage.

[bergsone]

Just another weird selection,to add to the others this season.So no contract for next year these idiots let him walk elsewhere when he is finally up and ready to play.Getting to the stage after a life time supporting this club am so pissed off,its not funny

[1966]

Can only imagine he is being managed. Assume he won’t be playing at Sandringham.
Newnes must have photos.

[Spinner]

Tony, any clarification on Freeman being omitted?

[older saint]

Selection this whole season has lacked courage and its been my complaint since about Round 6 ( probably sick of my rants here by now). Billings dropped way too late prime example, much better once he found form.This continues the trend. If Freeman is injured or sore state it, Austin, Goddard and Carlisle makes us a very tall backline against a mobile forward line of Roughhead, Gunston and Breust , way too mobile . Unless Carlisle to play forward.

Newnes is a protected species and has been all year. 7 tackles in the first 6 games ( 4 in one) and hasn't been close to being dropped. Weller is the same.

Roo summed it up perfectly the leadership on field, in the box, and in the boardroom lack the balls to look anyone in the eyes regardless of name, draft position or birth certificate and say your not delivering your dropped.

Hence why coach is not in the review

Settle down guys - what do you want to do - - - win????
