i am not a hater. but 4 possessions all handballs 1 critical error and 1 free against. i know they are different players, different positions and different roles but surely he makes room for max..?

Agree that Eddy's spot in danger. But not from Max. Geary/Gwilt/Armo the only possibles.

Eastern · Post: # 824137Post **Eastern** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 12:02pm

Would be the ONLY spot up for grabs. If Rob Eddy goes, do we bring in Max? Armo? Gears? Jimmy? or Jack? !!

I disagree. As I've said in another post, I think if we play Geelong Max may come in, but if we play the Pies it'll be Gwilt/Geary/Armitage/Dempster

Dempster...

Eddy has been playing mainly a defensive role...running

That is what Dempster does.

Dont forget Jack Steven is knocking on the door.

Would love to see Max but if there is going to be any change for Eddy it'd be Dempster or Geary. Eddy's role is run and defense. Having said that Jimmy could be a good hard physical presence in the heat of the big day.

Dempster might get more than 4 touches doing it!!!

Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Hey hey hey
GOOOODDDDBBBYYYYEEEE

Bad luck Eddy, but we need somebody able to play a bit better on the big stage, and last night he didnt cut the mustard

bigred · Post: # 824155Post **bigred** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 12:11pm

Jack Steven. That would be a huge call. But possible.

I would have thought that Geary would be the obvious one....

Kinda been trading spots with Eddy all year.

He wasn't given much of a chance - made good position a number of times last night only to be ignored by his teammates. I am starting to think that there is some sort of team directive against giving the ball to Eddy.

The more I think about it the more I think Dempster is going to get a gig. That is as long as Geelong make it. If so I reckon Dempster may come in for a negating gig against a Stevie J or Chapman,so on.

Eddy shouldn't be in there

ace · Post: # 824165Post **ace** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 12:16pm

Eddy's spot is under threat.
But only from Dempster, Armitage, Geary, Gwilt or Steven.

Not from Hudghton, Maguire, X Clarke, McEvoy, Begley or Robert Harvey.

Not from anyone who hasn't played all season.

Hudghton only comes under consideration if S Fisher, Gilbert or Dawson can't play.
McEvoy only comes under consideration if Gardiner, King, Riewoldt or Koschitzke can't play.

Grand Finals have to won, winning is not awarded as a charity because you have a sentimental case for your club or any player.

saintsRrising · Sat 19 Sep 2009 12:21pm

However NOTE that Lyon does not select based on only one performance...but overa number...

Enrico_Misso · Sat 19 Sep 2009 12:46pm

Eddy for DUMPSTER

Obvious.
Premiership experience.

borderbarry · Sat 19 Sep 2009 12:55pm

Geary or Armitage for mine.

older saint · Sat 19 Sep 2009 12:59pm

Eddy May miss.
Geary / Dempster obvious one. Dempster was poor the weeks before so not to me an automatic

eppo67 · Post: # 824273Post **eppo67** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 1:16pm

Dempster will come in for Eddy. I'll put whatever you want on it.

Why? Played in a premiship under Lyon for the Swans and did a good shut down run with job in that game. It's a no brainer.

Richter · Post: # 824288Post **Richter** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 1:25pm

Apologies, forgot about Dempster. Probably right that he is most likely.

Can play a defence tagging role and also snag a grab or two.

Macau Saint · Sat 19 Sep 2009 1:26pm

Eddy for Geary the only change IMO

skeptic · Post: # 824304Post **skeptic** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 1:33pm

on that performance u'd say good player and developing well... not ready for a grandfinal

i'd prefer any of Geary, Dempster, Gwilt

Unforgiven · Post: # 824348Post **Unforgiven** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 2:04pm

Dempster surely!!!

He has been there on the big day, has a bigger body, atheltic, he can run pressure, chase, tackle.

saints11 · Post: # 824350Post **saints11** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 2:04pm

Eddy For Armo Armo can tackle run and kick a goal

Agree. Jarryn played 15 games (all wins) and has more skill but is not as quick. I would have favoured him but it is too late now. Unless there is an injury, the team we have, the one that was set 4 weeks ago, will be the one to play GF day.

dcstkfc · Post: # 824429Post **dcstkfc** » Sat 19 Sep 2009 3:13pm

I concur, its got to be Dempster, in fact I reckon Dempster would have been very handy last night, shown some composure as opposed to Gilbert/Gram.
