Team v Saints

[scottywiper]

Ross has hammy tightness apparently.

 

[snrub]

Can play Watt but dont have the charitable spirit for Harro's 150th?
Saints must be shitn themselves with Gibbo CHB. Ross is the biggest mystery for a long while. Urq?

Crocker- needs a career change

Yeah let's keep Gibbo in the midfield, after all, he was hopeless last time on Riewoldt. Seriously, have you watched a North game this year?

Worrying deactivated.

Me too, right one only. Me and Ben should start a facebook group.

To be fair, most of it has been amazingly forgettable.

 

[FrangaRoo]

nice potential changes.

josh smith, lower, obst,gartlett get a chance to show what they can do, Watt gets a farewell game.

Nice.

Thought we were moving away from gap filling. Using the 4th best KP defender isn't exactly a great way of developing the side. Saints were shit last time we played them wasn't Roos fault. Going to Perth once don't make a traveling Wilbury

 

[The Zebra]

Glad Ross is injured, otherwise that would have pissed me off.

Lower and Garlett are the two i wanted in most, so good to see them in the 18. Happy for Azza to be given a last crack....not sure about who should stay on the bench.

Maybe: Thomas, Watt, Goldtsein, Smith. Too tall?

Obst surely has no chance of playing.

 

[breeno]

Some people have knocked Obst, and say he doesn't deserve a senior spot on the list.

In my opinion he, Josh Smith, Lower and Wundke must play the last two games.

And back on Obst, he deserves to get a spot on our seniors list after a weak draft if he shows something these few games, don't forget he has been raping the VFL all year.

 

[bailz66]

Sign up Gav for 2 years then drop him

Would he have made the same decision given 24 hours to think about it

or was he injured and i not know about it?

 

[Dingster]

Watt and Goldy will probably play, so on balance Thomas and Power look likely. One of our more ordinary teams for the year on paper.

 

[brettman135]

I am hoping that Lower and Edwards can show something these next two games to maybe give them a trade value of some sorts at least.

 

[John Dorian]

Bench I hope will be Obst, Watt, Goldy and Thomas.

 

[scottywiper]

Thomas won't play, Josh Smith will.

 

[Pykie]

Alan Obst?

Surely he's taking the piss.

Woeful footballer.

 

[Zondor]

Swallow named in the forward line. Ed Lower, Josh Smith, Aaron Edwards, and Alan Obst all named in the extended bench.. interesting.

Depending on who plays, this game is a career maker for some of those kids.

Harris gone.
Jones on the precipice, likely gone.

Mate, Jone will likely be on the list next year, if as stated on numerous occassions on this forum, he does indeed have one more year left on his contract.

 

[Zondor]

Thomas won't play, Josh Smith will.

Glad that Josh Smith is getting another run.

 

[John Dorian]

Mate, Jone will likely be on the list next year, if as stated on numerous occassions on this forum, he does indeed have one more year left on his contract.

So does that mean we could not trade someone like Hale as he as 2 or so years left?

 

[CBSlogger]

I'd like to see Thomas, Pratt & Power dropped from that extended bench - they are known commodities and whether or not they stay or go in 2010 would already have been decided.

Why we have not seen more of our potential delistings such as Smith, Lower & Wundke in the seniors before now is completely beyond me given this season has been a right-off for some time.

If we are going to cut players at the end of the season, we should be taking every chance to test them on the senior stage before doing so.

If we were to delist someone like Power at seasons end, we'll do so on the back of more than enough senior assessment. If we delist any of Wundke, Smith or even Obst, we will do so without giving them a comparable chance of proving themselves, despite consistently solid form throughout the season in the magoos.

Team selection has been very frustrating.

By who?

Seriously who would trade for Jone? As for Hales, seeing that he is still taking time, a team out there may realise this and thus do a trade.

I don't think Wundke has ever done enough to warrant senior selection but Smith and Lower definitely deserve a chance to prove whether or not they are better than a 5th or 6th round choice in a shallow draft. It would be very disappointing to see either delisted without a genuine final opportunity.

 

[RoyalBlue]

If they don't play him they don't have to elevate him. Also, so what if they do, what difference does it make with 2 rounds to go. There is nobody else on the rookie list that looks anywhere near getting a game.

Obst clearly a fan of the Captains Bar.

Trade to the (Sandringham) Zebras, perhaps?

They would move heaven and half tonne mom to get Hales.

this could be ugly
