Can't imagine there will be any change from last weeks side.

 

[AndyLesPaul]

Yeah, Jetta's a chance though.

 

[efcboy]

houli could be in the gun again but personally i'd have him way ahead of jetta.

 

[Nicko_]

team shouldnt change, however extended bench is interesting.
If Jetta was to come in it would be at the expense of Houli
If Slattery was to come in it would be at the expense of Myers
If Nash was to come in it would be at the expense of Dyson.
Bellchambers cant be dropped

Yep, but only the first one would be logical for Knights to do, if any.

 

[cAsEy_18]

Last one definately won't happen (Nash for Dyson)
I don't think the 2nd one would happen, but it's not a complete no (Slattery for Myers)
And this is the most likely, although i wouldn't do it (Jetta for Houli).

However i think we'll see the old rule, don't tinker with a winning side, NO CHANGE

 

[Skeeta Olly]

I think the three are just for the sake of naming an extended bench.

 

[The Dustbin]

Apart from King. That St Kilda bench is the worst in the league.

Happy with the Ess team.

 

[George Washington]

Whats the point in naming an extended bench?

 

[monty1104]

It allows the team to change as most clubs run a training session on Friday if they are playing on Sunday. Its a get out of jail free card so to speak because there is still almost 72 hours until the start of play on Sunday.

 

[HULK HOGAN]

Ive been told theres no change by a reliable sorce but.......
Extended benches are the usual thing for sunday games, keeps the opposition guessing and gives the club every oppurtunity to make a change.

 

[George Washington]

But wouldnt naming them as emergencies do the same, or is their penalties for putting an emergency in once the team is named?

Emergencies = Injuries only
Extended Bench = You can still make your mind up.


It's that simple

Thanks, thats what I was after.

Good to see some competition for spots finally and with even more players coming back soon...

I know that. I was just making the point that I thought there would be no changes. So, it was like the three inclusions were there to make up the numbers, and tomorrow would subsequently become emergencies.

Sorry if I was unclear.

Doubt their will be any changes this week maybe one or two next week

 

[rainman06]

IMO Myers was the only one who's game last week left a bit of a question mark over his place in the side, but i certainly do not want to see Nash or T.Slattery (yet) get in the side in front of him.

Only change that wouldnt bother me is bringing Jetta in for Myers, but I cant really see that happening for team balance. But who knows they might go for it.

 

[Longy413]

Apart from King. That St Kilda bench is the worst in the league.

I reckon it's better than ours.

David Armitage - Quality young ball winner who can't crack a game. Would like us to target him at the end of the year.

Raphael Clarke - Question marks, but finished off 08 very strongly.

Ben McEvoy - Better than Bellchambers (no slight on Belly).

Jarryn Geary - Has had a fantastic season.

James Gwilt - Also had a great season, brings them great flexibility.

Steven King - Would only be stating the obvious

Andrew McQualter - He frees up Hayes and Ball. Provides a strong run with role in the midfield. Also enables Baker to play on the dangerous small forward.


I reckon there are many more question marks on our bench than their bench.

 

[lamaros]

Agreeing with Longy413... It's going to be one of those days, isn't it?

[Longy413]

Raph Clarke is their Leroy Jetta total spud

And you're this boards Raph Clarke.

 

[Drummer_19]

He's right though.

Nope.
