Well, if you say so…

I would’ve used the word shmuck personally, but I’d never be so rude …

(Why American Judaism though? Yiddish is a German derivative - although Jews everywhere sprinkle the words throughout our speech. There are some great words )

Is dim sim a Jewish word. I’d ask dad but he ain’t here anymore.

It's almost an Aussie word.

What's a dim sim? How an oversized dumpling became an Australian food icon

Dim sims, affectionately called dimmies in Australia, are a variant of a traditional Chinese dumpling and have become an iconic dish in Melbourne and beyond. But who invented them? The answer is complicated.

So you’d rob Peter to pay Paul?

I'd put my best player on ball. Easier to defend a ball from your forward line and 5 goals up than stop a barrage.

So a Jewish Australian person?

Yea you can pencil in a loss now

It’s a tough one. Who’s to say he’ll be the best player when playing more midfield?
His attack from defence is one of our strongest weapons.

I think Telstra put out a "Dim Sim" for photophobic phone uses.

We want to play finals and he outperformed everyone else that could replace Billings/Gresham aside from possibly Owens. I wouldn’t be upset to see Owens and Wang-Mil be the ins but if we’re picking the best team to win the game and give ourselves a shot at finals still Hanners is a pretty easy in this week.

Would be very concerned about him running out a game, and he is very slow. Probably gets 15 meh touches whilst his direct opponent completely burns him on the spread.

Old man Hanners is cooked, stick a fork in him

It's quite odd to get to this stage of the week and not hear anything official about Gresh. Have to assume he's out along with Billings.

I'm really excited to see what Owens can do in the side. I think Hannebery is a no-brainer, we're pushing for finals and we need to try to get better in the next four weeks and he is someone that can possibly do that.

I assume Long stays sub as he has been killing it in that role. Kind of shit for him, but handy for the side if we need him to come on.

Their forwards are a worry, luckily we have Wilkie and Battle in good form so I think we can handle them. I suspect Sharman gets another week in the back line until Dougs comes back.

Midfield will be key, we need our guns up and firing like last week. Feels like another week where King could go bonkers, but that's kind of every week these days and he's generally just solid.

Just had a look at the draw and obviously a win and then a Dogs loss would be great, but if the Crows could beat the Blues it would also provide another little window.

 

[saintbill]

Was BOG in our only finals win in the past decade

Certainly don't remember him having a good game, had to look it up. Had 19 possessions and zero tackles.

Zero tackles actually proves my point, couldn't catch a tortoise. Absolute liability on the spread.

His direct opponents would have torched him 100%.

I think its your memory that's cooked.
He hasn't really played badly at all, its always been the injuries.

You cherry picked the only game he played for the Saints without a tackle.

The last game he played for us was Fremantle last year.
10 contested possessions, 6 clearances , and just for you, a tackle.

 

[westernsainter]

I like Long being a permanent sub. Rough for him but teams still haven't quite figured out the tactical importance of having a versatile sub who can impact in that role - the chopping and changing each week is shit for team structure. Long is perfect in that he can play any position and comes in absolutely flying. If anyone isn't quite up to first team selection don't waste their time by using them in that role - let them have a run in the twos.

Gresham out for this season
Billings out for this week

He was classed as an elite wingman years ago, he is good enough to play most positions
I would like him to play more midfield minutes if possible

You can if you knew my dad.

Gresham out for this season
Billings out for this week

What's the actual injury to Gresham?

 

[XhazzafootyX]

In- Hanners, campbell
Out- Byrnes, gresh, Billings

 

[XhazzafootyX]

What's the actual injury to Gresham?

Meniscus tear (no idea if that’s how you spell it haha)

 

[denisp]

What's the actual injury to Gresham?

Knee posterior

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Hanners calves will be under more pressure than a fat guys shirt buttons

 

[plugger66]

In- Hanners, campbell
Out- Byrnes, gresh, Billings

Just a side. Thought owens was the better option but did miss a fair bit of footy.

Would love to see him as sub

 

[LennyHayes77]

Not sure we need Cambell, have always preferred seeing Marshall go up by himself, he seems to always lift!
Hanners doesn't make us worse, let's hope he can provide a bit of spark and do some nice things in and under.
Sucks to see Gresh out long term but reckon we can cover Billings quite easily.
Thought Byrnes would get another crack but he can't cement a spot, which could be why he can't find any consistency yet but I think he has talent.
Saints by 35

 

[lewdogs]

Don't love the Campbell inclusion but.i guess it's horses for courses with their rucks. Still think we'd be better off to go Marshall one out and back him in.

Devastated for Gresh. Five month rehab so joins full training in the new year. Poor fella, he has worked so hard.
