They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

I agree i've also backed ross all year but this is just plain wrong and unacceptable.

Couldnt possibly agree more.

I feel so sorry for Thommo.

Thommo, you are one of the most underrated Saints champions ever. You gave everything to us, and we do appreciate it.

Unbelievable - any chance that he is injured/not fit??

We are there to win football games, if that means some miss out so be it. I feel sorry for tommo too, however, I don't know what is going on behind the scenes, as I am certain many here aren't.

Thommo went off injured in last 10 minutes of the Casey game last weekend v Frankston.

I would not be at all surprised if Thommo plays on Saturday, that's why he is named as an emergency. X Clarke, whilst named, must be doubtful.

NEW THEORY

Maybe he isn't quite 100%, but if Adelaide win tomorrow he'll get a farewell game. If Collingwood win, he might be included for the elimination final.

:lol: and everyone is calling for Lyon's head because he wasn't selected!

tough coaches makes the tough decisions

we are supporters that have heart and feel the club

the man is there to coach us to a premiership that we are more than capable of

choco williams makes the though calls...so does matthews as did pagan back in the dynasty that was the kangaroos of the 90s

thommo might have played his last game for us and that is sad...however do you really think that thommo or any other of the players would have played a little harder or tried that extra few % off the back of thommo or anyone else leaving or playing possibly their last game??

its football and its a facet of it...players know it...so just accept it

Yeah, I mean I know it's not like we couldn't beat Richmond with our hands tied behind our backs. Bit unfair. Good luck Thommo.

Agree with u OWTS. Andrew Thompson has been an excellent contributor to the club for 11 years, and has been a very reliable yet underrated player. You know u will always get 110% from Thommo. To not get selected in what could have possibly been his final game astounds me, what is even more absurd is that players such as Gwilt and Jones are selected over him (no disrespect to Gwilt or Jones). Hopefully we see a late change made which would allow Thommo to play.

As much as I love what Thommo has done for us over the past 10 years, I'm glad our coach has the guts to make the tough calls. I'm pretty sure I read an interview at the start of the season with Thommo where he stated that he understood he wouldn't be an automatic selection this season.

Love Thomo, and hope he gets a good send off somehow, BUT, the Coach is not the only selector and I'm sure these desicions are not taken lightly.

IMO opinion he should play (if fit), but there's probably a good reason I'm not on the selection panel.


*Allegedly.

Totally agree OWTS.

CJ in front of Thommo, Armo is utter rubbish. Can someone tell me what CJ upside is apart from the blonde hair and tan.

Ross made the right decision. Everything the club does is 100% right and perfect.

I understand where everyone is coming from, but lets not jump the gun till we know he was fit to play.

Can anyone say 110% that he is fit to play this weekend and he has not re-injured himself.


In Ross Get lost!

I am excited to stay at St Kilda and this is a great result for the Club and all our fans. I’m proud to be part of the Saints and am pleased to be playing football with the Clubâ€
