Out: Dempster
In: X

Lenny_Hayes7 · Thu 04 Sep 2008 5:14pm

Well when i was at training yesterday to me X Still looked a bit sore and not 100% Will be interesting if he plays or not.

sainter123 · Post: # 635833Post **sainter123** » Thu 04 Sep 2008 5:20pm

i think it would be a shame to see eddy go out he has been putting good pressure on the opposition and has been okay around the ground.

but may lack ability to get the ball agianst a side like geelong.

i think that mc qulater will be the only in for this week...

go sainterS>>>>>

Out: Dempster
In: X, Allen, Mini, Armitage

TimeToShineFellas · Thu 04 Sep 2008 5:25pm

Out: Dempster

In: McQualter, Armitage, Allen, Fiora

Saints Premiers 2008 · Thu 04 Sep 2008 5:31pm

one change...why are people wanting eddy out all of a sudden???

he has not done a thing wrong and coming off easily his best game for the club its no a good reward to be dropped for easily the biggest game of his short career

who would come in on a flank??? armo...no...geary...no...

or should they both come in even for someone else who is not a saintsational favourite/orgasm maker?

Similar to mine, I've chosen X and you picked Fiora - any reasons?

Lenny_Hayes7 · Thu 04 Sep 2008 5:36pm

Heard alot about Fiora not as good as Dempster but IMO Very Similar players...

IN: X Fiora
OUT : Dempster..

Still a ? over X for mine!

saintsRrising · Thu 04 Sep 2008 5:37pm

Eddy will stay.

His run has been very good (Armo does not have his tank)...and he has improveda lot since he came in.

Sunday game.

So Ins.

X, Mini, Fiora, M Gardiner

Fiora not fit to shine Dempster's defensive boots.

Would rather pick another tall forward and have Raph or Gwilt go back.

MACEwasACE · Post: # 635852Post **MACEwasACE** » Thu 04 Sep 2008 5:39pm

Out Dempster , Glbert.

In Mini and X and not sure who else.

I've only seen a few games this year, but Gilbert worries me against good opposition

Lenny_Hayes7 · Thu 04 Sep 2008 5:39pm

Get your point Otiman but fiora does add somthing to our team.
Can kick a long ball so play him on a wing ??

Dunno

Backline

Gilbert Max Birrs/CJ

Raph Sam Blake

Gwilt can stay forward....would not want him on Ablett. Johnson, Stokes or Chapman!

I would rather X, if fit. To be honest, Fiora is a good player, but just doesn't get amongst it enough to make an impact. Similar to Armitage in that manner.

Well X over his career has averaged 11.8 disposals.

Fiora has averaged 11.4.

I'm with you, can't drop Eddy.

Out - Dempster
In - X.Clarke

It is the cats mids that kick the goals

Both Mooney and Johnson are capable of kicking a bag but they pass it off, if everyone mans up their players they will be forced to kick at goal more often, which they're not used to as they havent had the pressure on the players

Otiman · Post: # 635912Post **Otiman** » Thu 04 Sep 2008 6:52pm

Well, no-one picked Steven to be in the squad. I bet he's as surprised as the rest of us

Think of it as an encouragement award....for next year.

He will not play.

Picked as a true emergency, if two mids or small forwards go out in some freak accident, he will play. Hope he doesn't play this weekend for Casey though.

One interesting point on selection is who will be the unlucky player not to play in a final this wee. We usually leave one player out when the Scorps play Saturday and we play Sunday. Will it be Armo, Steven or Mini. My pick is Mini.
