Yeah... I'm done with Woosha.

Are the manatees available for selection?

 

[bombreys]

Pretty insulting to Ridley.

Close to our most in form player if you include JLT.

Shocking message to send to the younger blokes.

Saints were nearly as bad as us last weekend too, this is going to be an absolute stinker to watch

 

[blueiris]

Sorry for the interruption but why was Riddley dropped ? Thought he was fantastic last weekend probably one of the only players to hold he's head up high asking because I'm new to Supercoach and had him my side

 

[Old Stuckup]

Woosha reckons the Saints forward line is too small for Riddles. Given his speed and agility I’m not sure whether that’s the case.

 

[Shanghaistu]

If Essendon don't win this weekend, the selection panel are going to look like absolute idiots

I think the panel will take that as an upgrade...

 

[Molian]

Omitted!?
I don't even ...

We are all baffled about it.

 

[BrunoV]

hahahahaha imagine scapegoating a kid who was our best performed player in the JLT after 1 game. Imagine keeping absolute spuds like Baguley in the team.

I seriously dislike the people who are in charge of our football team.

I've heard he was blocking all comms between Worsfold and the players.

and the remaining talls we kept were brilliant last week.....i'd have dropped Hurley before Ridley.

 

[Dons4days]

This club will not move forward while Woosha is there. He’s is proving week after week he is completely & utterly incompetent.

 

[kindapatty]

Woosha:

“St Kilda can play a fairly small forward line at times, so we just felt our best line-up was to adjust for that. Unfortunately, Jordan was the taller defender that came out of the side this week.”

 

[JayJ20]

Ok....
I really didn't think I would melt. But...
How STUPID can they be?

This is exactly why our season went down the drain last year. Woosha seriously has no idea anymore. None.

Ridley? One of the LAST players I would drop.

So they really think our turnaround against Geelong was magic? Wanna know the changes we made after the Carlton loss? Here it is:

IN – Clarke, Ridley, Guelfi, Langford, Dea

OUT – Hurley, Parish, Mutch, Myers, McNiece

That was the changes we made after making an example of certain players (granted that Hurley was injured) and we smashed Geelong with all the sudden energy that we lack. That was Langford's first proper game I think?

Our players are lazy. You have to keep them engaged and keep them on edge. You can't let them feel comfortable or they will stop putting in any effort. It was also the first time we actually dropped a few to make a statement.

HOW does he not see it?

 

[84859300]

Does anyone know just who is on our selection committee??

 

[bombreys]

Dropping 1x 20 year old after a 12-goal loss is also nearly as embarrassing as the actual change itself

 

[Atavistic]

Does anyone know just who is on our selection committee??

I think it's just the manatees.

 

[BrunoV]

We better win because dropping Ridley is a ******* joke

We better win?

Last week I was probably more "stressed" than I had been about a game since finals 2014 that we'd win and GWS would stuff it up due to their injuries.

This week I'll be barracking for the Saints even more rabidly than those lunatic Siants fans I once heard bagging N Riewoldt mercilessly.

Will not be happy with anything less than a 10 goal Saints victory.

I'm probably not that far from going full kelvin_sheedy.

 

[Lore]

Defender out, midfielder in. Is St Kilda going into it with less tall forwards?

 

[Gabe251]

IN – Clarke, Ridley, Guelfi, Langford, Dea

OUT – Hurley, Parish, Mutch, Myers, McNiece

This is DAMNING

 

[BomberTime]

With this selection it’s strike 2.

 

[rumply]

Anyone who was planning on going to the game on Saturday want to get blind drunk instead and end up at the Spearmint Rhino?

Very tempting but I've got to see this play out.

Truly bizzare change if he as reported has been dropped, what must Rids be thinking right about now...

Defender out, midfielder in. Is St Kilda going into it with less tall forwards?

Sorry to intrude but if anything we will be going a bit taller this week as we have dropped Long for Acres. Bruce and Membrey will be the main targets with Battle also a chance of going forward. Our smalls will be Gresh, Lonie, Kent with Parker roaming as well.
