[Keg on legs]

EFA

Seriously. Some people.....


You give them a hint of fame and it goes straight to their heads

 

[SK_MD_#7]

Really hope McKenzie seen the touch Webby was in and comes in to play a good game to cement his spot.

One of my favourite Saints.. has pace, skill, toughness etc!

 

[The Jack Pack]

Really happy to see McKenzie back in the seniors this week to replace Webster, he was impressive in that role towards the end of last year.

 

[Sir Skid]

DMacs defending gets him in over Savage

Plays hard and tough compared to Sav.

(I assume that this joke was made already, but in case it hasn't)

Is that a picture of Plugger66?

I disagree.

 

[wolfpup]

for me bruce is a big out, not sure about that one, but in richo i trust

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

[Patty_vanda]

Naismith out.

Who rucks for Sydney?

Tippett the whole game?

It's imperative Longer gives us first use against there star studded midfield.

 

[L_W_P]

McVeigh out is good for us. Puts more pressure on Mills and Jones.

Really hoping Paddy can clunk his marks and kick true. He was having a breakout game against the Pies last year as the man up forward before getting hurt.

 

[Impatient Saint]

Just our luck they get 3 x best 22 players back against us.

Not sure about dropping Bruce but it will give Paddy the chance he has worked for.

Lets hope he does better than he did against Sydney in the pre season when he was shocking.

 

[VDS66]

Glad that Roo is named at CHF because he'll demand a good defender or two, making life a bit easier for Paddy.

As for Bruce, we'll no more easy games for anyone it seems. That's what depth does. We'll be a stronger team because of this competition for spots.

Image if D-Mac plays 3 good games and keeps his spot ahead of Webster? This means constant improvement from within.

Saints by 14.

If we are a better side than them it shouldn't matter who they get back. At least the rest of the post is positive.

I'm hoping we just win. 14 goals is a little optimistic.

 

[Plugger35]

Pretty good changes I think, Bruce's form has been pretty poor the last couple of weeks and Paddy deserves another chance.

Minchington hasn't done enough to keep his spot either so is the logical swap for Stevens.

Losing Webster is a bit of a blow but hopefully McKenzie can step up to fill his role.

 

[stfan]

Naismith out.

.

Sinclair and Tippett

 

[Periphery]

Dmac gets caught cause he isn't the best decision maker and takes extra seconds and bam he's gone.

Or he is still adjusting to the speed of the game like any player who has only played 16 games.

 

[Gangnam Saint]

The Bruce out is either going to be a masterstroke or backfire badly. We could possibly be underestimating the value of his aerobic capacity to get up and down the field to provide forward connect.

 

[Crusty Undies]

Or he is still adjusting to the speed of the game like any player who has only played 16 games.

Or. He takes to long to make decisions abd gets caught all the time.

 

[Periphery]

Or. He takes to long to make decisions abd gets caught all the time.

Yeah, nah.

 

[Joffaboy]

Or. He takes to long to make decisions abd gets caught all the time.

Obviously why he has been elevated to the seniors

 

[Crusty Undies]

Yeah, nah.

Please do tell me how you can so accurately know exactly what a player's flaws are when all evidence is to the contrary! Quite an extraordinary skill really.

 

[Sab22]

I back longer and Gilbert to munch on Tippett and Sinclair.

First use of footy is very crucial to us, they mids are too good when inform.

 

[RoundCubic]

Longer started dropping back spoiled a couple balls in the second half next week needs keep it up this week

 

[PoppedCorn]

Tippet coming back from an ankle isnt it???
