who is unlucky if Baker plays

JABBER · Post: # 993112Post **JABBER** » Mon 20 Sep 2010 5:23pm

I think it might be Mini

plugger66 · Post: # 993114Post **plugger66** » Mon 20 Sep 2010 5:24pm

Rooy or A Smith.

saintlee · Post: # 993115Post **saintlee** » Mon 20 Sep 2010 5:25pm

No chance.

Dempster if anyone.

JABBER · Post: # 993122Post **JABBER** » Mon 20 Sep 2010 5:26pm

Dempster will play two great games so far in finals

Unfortunately yes.

There is no way Mini will be dropped. His ferocity at the ball is something required on Saturday.

Baker or Mini

Gotta be between Dempster, Mini and Bakes. Dempster can play up forward but not as well as Mini. Will depend on how they train, and matchups, I reckon.

I think Steele Sidebottom is unlucky if Baker plays.

I thought Bakes may play in the GF but I am now convinced he cant. The only spot for him was Dempsters and he cannot replace him now as dempsters last 2 games have been excellent. Its very sad for Bakes but like last year with Max the team will come first second and third under RL.

Who ever was unlucky enough to not recover from injury in time.

saintkid · Post: # 993190Post **saintkid** » Mon 20 Sep 2010 6:06pm

Mini for me. Eddy has passed him as a tackler and other than tackling, Mini doesn't offer much more to the team now.

Or maybe Didak.

Mini certainly had an average game against the Dogs, however i reckon he would be the first choice player to play on Maxwell this week. He has played this role well in the past and plays very competently when the midfield play through him before the forward line...

Eddy DESPERATELY wanted to prove his spot against the Dogs and i reckon he would be a certain starter on Saturday. Bakes would be a worthwhile inclusion thanks to his poise in the backline (something needed against Collingwood's forward press), but i just can't see him coming in...

I reckon Gears is probably a bit stiff too!

Baker will not play unless someone gets injured.

Dont think Gram will come up?

Looked very sore.

Why would they let him train if there was a doubt?

Dont know?

I might be wrong, its just what I think! I dont have any sources or inside words!

Maybe he has to train as he has to get through to prove his fitness?

Maybe they trained fairly tamely today? I was not there.

Gram doesnt have a problem with running or kicking but IMO has a large problem with bending over and picking up the ball below his knees? Or he is a squib????? but I prefer the injury theory!

FullMonty · Post: # 993300Post **FullMonty** » Mon 20 Sep 2010 7:43pm

Dal and Gram doubtful I think.

What they did at training today was basically nothing but it was obviously people with even slight injuries did less. Gram did everything so I have no doubt he will play. As for dal, lets just hope he is fit.

unfortunately, if we replace either dal or gram with bakes then we're seriously short in the midfield. if dal doesn't come up then armo has to come in. if gram doesn't come up, then, well, i don't know who comes in. geary, probably.

Hope you are right, but also hope he is only picked if he is 100% fit. Cant afford to carry anyone in who is not going to approach every contest at a million miles an hour.

Gram when fit is a certain starter, but he is not best 22 when he is injured IMO, some players still are, Harvey, Hayes, Reiwoldt can all contribute more than their replacement whilst carrying an injury but they are special players.

BringBackMadDog · Mon 20 Sep 2010 8:04pm

I reckon Mini may be unlucky, Dempster to go forward and play defensive half forward on Harry O Bakes to the back half. I think mini has no match up

derby Street · Mon 20 Sep 2010 8:52pm

It has always been horses for courses with Ross - so sadly I think Bakes is in strife. He will not play as the defensive forward. Although not a major fan of Dempster he has done the job in the last 2 finals. (Is he up to the extra pressure the pies will exert without coughing it up ???)

lefty · Post: # 993415Post **lefty** » Mon 20 Sep 2010 9:11pm

I'd say dempster
