Armitage I reckon would be nearly a natural for the midfield, but as a junior kicked numerous goals. Kicked 6 at age 4 in an under 11 grandfinal. Then again he played a back flank in juniors as well.

Ross Lyons worst decision. Being selected as Saints Coach. PFFFT I mean come on. Look at wear the bloke has the Saints and the supporters this year. 16-0 and the supporters nearly believing we have our best chance at a Premiership. Yeah I definitely reckon he should go at the enf of the year.

I've got a fair chance to get picked as well. I've been playing well in Townsville. But seriously he probably has got a good chance. But so have other guys waiting to get into the team. It will all be up to as Ross puts it. Effort, contribution and structure. Have to wait and see.

Bring in Armo damn it. Very interested to see where he is at.

I agree our rucks might be slow but I wouldn't look to far forward then Gardiner. He can take a good contested mark as seen against Geelong and has a habit of kicking Goals. Unfortunately he isn't a certainty for this weekend.

After seeing there effort against Essondon, I don't really think they are going to destroy us on the weekend. I saw there game and they didn't show much to be scared of. I would have thought Adelaide would have been a bigger threat but look what we did to them. I admit Bulldogs when on do lift for b...

I agree he may need to freshen up or for that matter have a rest. I thought Armitage was his replacement but didn't see him on the weekend. I understand Dave is still recovering but I thought he would get a run considering they play much the same. Obviously I'm not comparing a B&F wineer and Cap...

So! Should I pick the Crows?[/quote]

Hell no. Saints will win. Should be a cracker. ( SHOULD BE )

Interesting philosophical idea, resting players, pro's cons etc. IMO, "resting" healthy players during the home and away season is 100% idiocy. If you're healthy and in form, and in the best 22, you should be selected. When playing any contact sport, the players need to be able to disrega...

Stuff Cousins. He can play but he is not a Saint. I would much rather watch Armitage get going, as with the rest of the young guns coming through. OLD

When they are performing so well and we know how they can play, anything less seems to be upsetting. The one I will be getting upset about is the Prelim games. Anything less than our best in these games and the Granny will be unacceptable. But I reckon they will come through as usaul.

I think your are forgetting one thing. Book your Grand Final Tickets.

While his football frustrates me, at the end of he does play for St Kilda and if his coaches and team mates want him there( with him Obviously being included into the side) then the Raph haters have only opinions. I have bagged him. Not ashamed to say it either but this post is to throw support behi...

Who is this Raph clarke guy anyway?

NICE POST

No Armitage this week.

No Armo this week.

Raph was crap. No where near what the other players were. His skill with the football is VFL standard. That is about it.

ah, back when?
are you sure your right this time?

Not 4-6 weeks. ha

Spoke to him last night. He is doing fine. Copped a hard knock. He will be back.

There is obviously a reason. I do feel somewhat confused though after receiving praise from coaches after last weeks game that he was not at least an emergency. Regardless of who is and who isn't picked he hasn't been named and now Saint Kilda have to prepare for Geelong on Sunday. They know who is ...

I don;t think he should be automatically picked but I was wandering why he has been emergency for a while and wasn't considered this week. Obviously reasons though. He will get his chance.

Personally I don't care who wins.( Obviously I want saints to ) but in reality I just hope it lives up to the hype of being an exciting game. One where the people at the ground are on the edge of their seats. There is a sniff for both teams and with back and forth leads right till the last siren. I ...

Milty66 says these posters are a touch too precious.

Precious I think not. I don't really care but it has to be said I find it a touch strange to post like this. Almost as if you are not owning what you are saying

Go to the replay and see how many of our blokes butchered the ball in the first 20 minutes in particular... Oh FFS Iceman please stay on topic. This is about this weeks scapegoat for our pathetic 56 point win. No Raph or Gwilt - Blake has got guru scapegoat status so thats boring - so Gram is next ...
