Better Safe than sorry. The Dees have a ruck duo of Jamar and Spencer, King and Jamar, and Spence and McEvoy will probably go at it.

MG has hamstring soreness, should be right for finals

Why is that. have the club said it or you spoken to him?

I've got a feeling they may go with Big Mac for Gards ......obviously
then Bally & Geary for Armo & Jimmy ....

and give Lenny another week!

That way the acid is on Both Bally & Geary... and others to a lesser extent , to strut their stuff with the knowledge of Lenny to come in next week!

Why would they rest him? He is obviously injured. lets hope it is one week.

The same question could be asked of your statement in earlier post.

Mine statement is basically fact. Injury at this time of year is a worry. people then get on and say he will be right for finals or he is being rested. Does anyone know these statments or are they just making them up. i will go for making them up. We can only hope he will be right next week.

Just curious and a bit off topic I know, but has Big Mac ever played in a losing senior Saints side?

borderbarry · Thu 27 Aug 2009 7:42pm

Has anyone seen the team yet? Who is on the extended bench?

As far as I know the Facebook page is updated by a club official, so it should be pretty trustworthy.

I am sure it is but it doesnt say if he will be right next week as others state as fact.

Young Georgie · Thu 27 Aug 2009 8:04pm

Bartram, Jones, Wheatley, Dunn, Miller are some pretty good ins for a bunch of absolute tankers and the Dees forward line doesn't look like the shabbiest going around.

Barring any unforeseen outs, my guess is Robert Eddy, Jarryn Geary, Jack Steven to probably miss the cut.

JABBER · Post: # 804756Post **JABBER** » Thu 27 Aug 2009 8:08pm

I would like to see Geary and Steven have a run this week.

agreed with all you stated.

Jamar booted 5 goals playing forward last week

While they're like headless chooks much of the time the Dees can run and I agree, great opportunity for Geary & Steven to join in.

StPeter · Post: # 804761Post **StPeter** » Thu 27 Aug 2009 8:16pm

I am baffled how Eddy gets continually included in the 25 ahead of the likes

of Armo and Gwilt this week and Ball last week. He has had many

opportunities and has shown nothing.

borderbarry · Thu 27 Aug 2009 8:16pm

Dempster Eddy and Steven out for mine.

meher baba · Post: # 804763Post **meher baba** » Thu 27 Aug 2009 8:16pm

Can't see why we'd be faffing around with Eddy as an emergency and suspect he'll play.

I think Lyon is dead keen to have both Eddy and Dempster in the 22 for the finals. Others at the club are less keen on Eddy and are not totally convinced about Dempster. As I understand it, it is ultimately Lyon's call but he is required to consult with others.

I personally would prefer to see neither Eddy nor Dempster in a team to play the Dogs or Pies next week: IMO they are both too slow and don't do enough with the ball. But Lyon is the coach and the club has to back him.

Interesting times ahead.
