F and A Cotton..F N AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bring in the youth

well im hoping nick isnt rushing back because last thign we need now is him reinjuring his knee, interesting selections but expected i think raph deserved to be dropped and c gardiner hasnt been performing. so if riewoldt is def in who else you think? ferguson maybe to cover for raph and charlie? and jones, fiora or mac could play

 

[HoldenMCaulfield]

Let's hope that Riewoldt (if he doesn't pull out) really is fit to play - in any event, he should be a major boost for the team.

With C Gardiner and R Clarke out (Raph played a midfield / forward role last week) in addition to Gehrig, I do not quite understand why Allen and McEvoy have not been selected. I would now expect Ferguson to come in - together with Fiora (meaning that, despite Raph being out, there will be a whipping boy for some "supporters").

It would be hard on Jones, however, he was BOG the last two weeks for Casey...

 

[TassieSaint]

So who do we think will be cut? Tough one but I think Fiora, McQualter and Ferguson as emergencies.

Riewoldt is a great in, but no Baker is unfortunate. Strange to see Blake and Birss named in the forwardline. Joel MacDonald is the only bloke back there I can think of you'd tag, maybe Birss's 2 goals impressed enough to get him a gig as a forward

 

[gta007]

Will we put Sammie Fisher on Brown or Hudghton. Even though, Max is a great defender, I don't he has the athletic ability to go with Brown. So assuming so, Fisher on Brown and Hughton on Bradshaw?

Or any other key defenders I've missed. Surely Blake won't play on either of them.

 

[WASaintsFan08]

put the team bus on brown(driven by riewoldt if unfit to play)... atleast that way he'll be out for the night

our teams are always looking strong but atm we're doing a fremantle trait
playing as individuals and not as a team... look at the hawks and gellong and bulldogs...

they know what eachother are doing before they even do it...

where as we look like we're too busy touching ourselves up to even care :S

whats it going to take for the team too start playing hard accountable footy.. as well as gelling as a team??

hopefully it finally happens this weekend

if it does saints by 35 points
if not lions by 10 goals (lets face it, they have potentional to destroy teams)

 

[dan0z]

i reckon Riewoldt and geary in, flip of the coin for the third spot..
furgs to play if riewoldt is not fit...

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

F and A Cotton..F N AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bring in the youth

He's blindfolded, how do you think this will affect him?

Yeah he won't be able to see well Cotton.

birss is probly up forward just for a defensive forward roll like he did last week against heath shaw and did a great job for the team and did well in scoring 2 goals

Dont count out Blake he beat Cameron Cloke last week i no cloke isnt as good as brown but he still did a great job on him and i think he would be athletic enough to go with brown

Maybe athletic enough, but not strong enough...

April last year Sam played on Brown and was hammered. Brown kicked a bag of goals. Max came off during the first quarter with a hammy. I don't know how he went or who he played on before the injury. But for my money he is the man to play on Brown. I think he would be able to cover more kilometers in a game than Brown would and he would stay close enough to get the punch in.

 

[Persevering Saint]

I don't think Nick's going to play. Typical Lyon smoke and mirrors... and a chance for Nick to see his folks. Ferg'll take his spot.

I think you are probably right. Though they may play Fergason instead of Geary if they are concerned about Nick playing a full game. He is versatile enough to play forward or back so not too bad to have on the bench.

 

[hodge = gun]

If i saw correctly on the AFL website that Armitage is dropped?? then that is an absolute disgrace to the St.Kilda football club i would put him in before a dozen players on your list. Blake, gardiner, dempster, birss, fiora, jones, L.Fisher etc what a disgrace!!!!

Yesterday they hadn't named who was on the bench and who was emergency. Now it looks like Fiora has taken Armo's spot, leaving him as emergency. Are there any dedicated saints supporters in the Brisbane area. Your mission is to find out where Fiora is staying and break his arm.

 

[Mick_15]

This makes me SICK!! ross lyon! absolute outrage!!
Armo dropped! it must be a typo!

Play the youth with enthusiasm and talent, dam it!
Its not rocket science!

Play the Furg, there has to be a spot there for him, give him a chance!

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Does that mean we are actually tanking. Maybe we should be playing Milney in the ruck.

 

[DavidInellaFanClub]

You guys are doing all the right things to make sure Armitage won't wanna go home to the Gold Coast.

 

[WASaintsFan08]

at this rate i might get a game =D yay put fiora on brown........

 

[dan0z]

how stupid.. drop the one midfielder who actually likes kicking goals..

 

[Disco7]

I Can't believe it, I posted this earlier on the Rd 9 teams page.


Armitage........What the?????? He's the only midfielder that kicks goals and isn't he a Gold Coast boy(Considering we're palying), surely he's not dropped.......

 

[dan0z]

if he is droped and not injured then this is the first time for many years that i have been really worried about our club..
