Changes vs Saints

[Punchy Bassett]

Oh dear, what a shit selection there.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Reilly in, Cameron out. Can't say I'm surprised tbh.

Neither am I and that's a bad thing.

 

[Scorpus]

For the Saints:

In: James Gwilt, Dylan Roberton
Out: Tom Curren, Sam Gilbert

 

[MarcusP2]

If Cameron isn't injured that is ********.

 

[macca23]

IN: Matt Crouch, Sam Kerridge, David Mackay, Brent Reilly
OUT: Rory Laird (concussion), Luke Thompson, Charlie Cameron, Matthew Wright (all omitted)

Who the **** decided to omit Cameron?!?

Charlie Cameron is a tad unlucky, but he didn't put his position beyond doubt. Reilly is better than Luke Thompson no matter how much you want to whip him. Rory Laird - no choice there, while Wright is a bit hot and cold.

Matt Crouch should probably have been in before, as I said Reilly is better than like Thompson who once again confirmed how brittle he is, Mackay is in the best 22 every day of the week for his run, while Kerridge is another who has been unlucky not to be in earlier.

4 ticks for the selectors this week - that's a rarity IMO.

This is definitely a stronger team than last week.

 

[Tex200]

Droopy drawers;

Charlie been struggling and not in good form. Reilly in good form.

So yeah - pretty simple I guess lol

 

[Tantidar]

Sando has shown this year that he rates charlie and that he's in our best 22. He didn't have a massive influence last week (not bad by any means), and the toll of the season may be wearing on him a little. Hopefully it's a case if giving Reilly a farewell game and resting cameron just in case we play next week. Don't know how anyone can complain about the other changes.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Reilly in good form? Yeah righto.

 

[40porpoise]

Glad to see crouch Kerridge and Mackay back in, but Reilly in for Thompson is terrible. Let's be honest Reilly is not a defender, he's a loose man. Also Charlie out, are you kidding me!? Only thing I can think of is his groin isn't 100% and they want to wrap him in cotton wool and get a big pre season into him. Sure he doesn't get much of the ball, but he's directly responsible for 2-3 goals per game

 

[Wright Away]

To be fair, I didn't even notice Cameron until the 2nd quarter against the Kangaroos.

 

[hey shorty]

Reilly in......... hmmmmmm. If its a farewell and he will announce it after the season is done then I understand, even if I dont agree. If its not then its a case of LT or Radar..... I chose Rory Atkins.

Cameron is not being replaced by Reilly so lets just cut that rubbish too. That said why have they dropped him ??? I know Kedge deserves a spot and all that but they could have left Hendo out instead !!!

Mackay back isn't a shock, im not one of those that have it in for him so ill leave that to those who do.

And its taken 23 rounds but finally...... Wrights out !!!! No wait, Brad and Bob !!!! Slow midfield we have got this week hey.

 

[Dandy_GO]

LT stamped his card by showing zero improvement over the last two years.

I used to bloody love Mackay, but now I can't stand seeing him on the teamsheet. He's gone so far backwards and is just a zero impact player.

Wright had a couple of good games in a row mid-season, but he's done bugger-all for the majority of the year. He seems to be a much better player in a winning side than a losing one, unfortunately.

Cameron has had way more chances than I would have expected and has a lot of improving to do. He now has a solid base to build on. It's a shame he's out, but I'm not too fussed. Overall, he's been extremely quiet and has a lot to learn. I hope he has a big, injury free pre-season. He'll be back in the side round 1 next year.

Glad to see Kedge and Crouch in, and Lyons keeping his spot too.

Grigg's unlucky yet again. We've somehow treated him worse than even Lyons! Hopoefully he's primed for a big preseason and can have a breakout year next season. We need his footskills!

I'm not as optimistic that Reilly is in for a farewell game. There would have been an announcement already were this the case. He's in because Otten is injured, Hendo can't defend for shit, and LT has proven himself a total write-off. I do not think this is the end of Brent Reilly, though he'll hopefully only be a backup next year.

Basically this sums it up.

Reilly have been less than average in the SANFL for weeks now.

Cameron is unlucky, surprised to see Dmac in after the radio have been talking him down after the concussion.

And M. Crouch and B. Crouch are the good news story.

Playing St. Kilda....... Reilly for 27 touches and to start in the 22 next year.

 

[hey shorty]

I still cant get over Lyons, Bob and Thommo in the same side. Bob a monty for sub you'd reckon

Just waiting now for Dmac to be a late out due to the concussion and for Grigg to come in.

Bob, Lyons, Grigg and Thommo.

Sando's brain would explode.

If so I just hope it isn't Brad who gets subbed off for him!

 

[Glenno23]

Cameron out..... I don't even

A small forward does not kick goals and get 20 touches every game, he was there to pressure their defense! His pressure acts are top notch. A bit baffled TBH

Reilly in. I don't even

Happy with Crouch Jnr in. The Crouch show begins!

Curran out (their main tagger) so hopefully we can run amok and get a HUGE win

 

[Smithalicious]

Fingers crossed that Rutten gets thrown forward for the last 1/4 and kicks 3 goals with his last 3 kicks.

 

[Wright Away]

Fingers crossed that Rutten gets thrown forward for the last 1/4 and kicks 3 goals with his last 3 kicks.

They may not be his last 3 kicks though.

 

[Glenno23]

They may not be his last 3 kicks though.

Smithalicious obviously means the GF....... Duh

Even Graham Cornes gets this - let that sink in for a bit - Graham Cornes!!!

 

[The Big Sauce]

Disgusting selections.

How Brodie Martin clung onto his spot after the last fortnight is beyond me. Guy has been horrendous in the clutch and gets rewarded with a chance to beat up on St Kilda and further enhance his status as a minnow basher.

Because he was better than half the side perhaps ??

 

[conVINCEd]

Gobsmacked that we've dropped Cameron. Great to see we're building a side for the future...

And I thought we couldn't play Scott Thompson, Lyons and Matt Crouch in the same side? Sando has said those words a few times - so why now?

Happy that Wright has been dropped; overdue.

Lyons and Wright primed for trade bait.
