Gee hasn't that forward line changed.
No Gards.
Good to see they kept the faith in Eddy, McQualter, Allen etc.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Whats with Fiora always getting into the emergency list?
Geary/Birss/Baker all named for doing good stuff with Casey and they pick Fiora.

 

[TassieSaint]

Lennnnnnnnnnnny! Dissappointing to see no Gardiner or even Bakes, X or Schneider, but Lenny in should be enough to get us over the line.

 

[gta007]

With Charlie out, we may see more of Allen up forward.

Nice to have Lenny back too - he was on track for 64 possies before he got injured.

 

[Persevering Saint]

After all the fluff we'd heard about Bakes, Xav, Gardiner, sheesh...!

I find that a rather frustratingly boring team announcement. Still, if we beat the Bags, I don't mind.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Very good.

Disappointed Michael Gardiner hasn't come up, but it's good to finally have some sort of settled lineup.

Everything Lyon releases to the Media is complete hogwash!
In particular injuries are always played down ( Lenny would have come back on if it was a final! then he misses the following week. )

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Har.

Our forward line is composed of 4 midfielders and 2 forwards.

Carltons backline is composed of 3 midfielders and 3 backmen.

So much for positions on a team sheet meaning anything these days, they just don't have enough room to put the midfielders in there.

Unfortunate MG didnt come up, woulda r*ped Carlton in the ruck if he had, hopefully King and Kosi can do enough though.

 

[Squizz]

Will watch to see the Casey team with interest.

Obviously they think Blake can handle Cloke/Kreuzer with Kingy.

I would have preferred to try to get the full advantage with Gardi as the Blues have a good on-ball division. Maybe not the Mosquito Fleet but making me feel a little itchy.

 

[TassieSaint]

Arthritis or not, I hope we sneak Gehrig into the forward pocket in a Jarryd Allen suit, and then just when Carlton least expect it... SUPRISE MOTHER####ERS IT'S THE G-TRAIN!!! All 22 Carlton players would simoultaneusly shit their pants (coincedentally making Gibbsy feel a bit better about soiling his daks when he saw Milney doing his warm ups) and Gehrig would probably kick a bag of 10 thus retiring a hero

 

[Squizz]

The Blues were onto that Tassie, and got Setanta O'Palpitating the hell out of the side.

 

[beejay]

yeh very interesting to hear during the week that gardiner will be right and fit so obviously that wasnt the case but lenny was good inclusion although i think by taking out charlie bit more pressure on the forwards. and i dont think blake will be rucking (although he could probably beat cloke and kreuzer anyway) but kozi will prob team up and allen will have to step up and kick a few up forward.

Hopefully we can get the win good to see some stability but would of loved to see the x man back and schneids but think wise idea throwing them in the vfl get some match fitness dont want them breaking down in an important part of the yr.

 

[Fehring]

The longer our winning streak, the closer to our next loss to Carlton. Makes me very nervous. Disappointing that gardi didn't come back in b/c I was hoping we'd just leave Kosi at FF and he'd play the G Train role.

Still, good to see that our five senior players don't just waltz back in. I hope a few of them are playing for Casey.

 

[CHBench]

MGardiner, Schneider and Baker all playing for Casey. Surprised Gardiner wasn't selected, perhaps due to wet and greasy conditions? Schneider would've of been handy, provide another option.

 

[Blueinblood]

Rumours on 3aw Sen and Saintsational that Max wont play

 

[CHBench]

####ing fantastic.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

We'll lose without Max, no doubt about it.

Lets hope they're just rumours.

I think the rumour started from Max being the only one to not turn up to the clinic the other day. Lets just hope theres some other reason as to why he wasnt there...

 

[Speck]

If Max is injured we're stuffed.

Didn't Lyon confirm M.Gardiner? Not good. Also why isn't Big Mac an emergency? Better to be on the safe side especially when Fiora is there.

 

[Sainters66]

Will watch to see the Casey team with interest.

Obviously they think Blake can handle Cloke/Kreuzer with Kingy.[/I]

Blake hasn't been rucking for ages.............Just staing a fact.

It just gives me the irrates that you saints bloggers can't get your facts right or do you all think Allan Jeans is still our coach!!!!!!

 

[makemytime]

whos gonna take chris judd...?! i wonder if ross lyon will try mcqualter again

 

[Blueinblood]

Couple of sites and stations: Max Out

 

[Rack Watts]

HOPE YOU SAINTERS BEAT THE PANTS OFF THEM! I will be at the game

 

[ChrisFooty]

Not a bad thing at all. Baker, Gardiner, X.Clarke and Schender really do need to play VFL and perform well. We have fallen for the trap of selecting players on reputation rather than form and fitness.

Lenny Hayes was in super form in his last match and did not have a major injury.

Charlie Gardiner was the obvious drop (two poor games in a row)

Fringe players like Gwilt, McQualter, Allen and Eddy all have the chance to show their worth on the big Friday night stage.

 

[ChrisFooty]

I hope Armitage gets 75% game time (rather than the 47% for 14 possessions against the Kangaroos)
