Wow. Very interestng.

Thought Battle could be in the mix as he kicked 1.5 at the weekend. Could have done a membrey and kicked 6.

Coffield, Brown and Dunstan were no brainers.

White unlucky but Weller and Lonie very lucky.

well...who saw THAT coming?
Richo has usually had his favourites,
and JB was (I thought) one of them.

Weller should be out.
Lonie, I wonder what type of marijuana they smoke at selection time,
but boy oh boy...

Weller and Lonie should buy a lotto ticket....what role will Lonie play against the swans? IMO Lonie should have gone before the others....really cant get my head around that selection process.

White out after a really good game and career high 20 touches.

Sack Richo.

White is an emergency- so I reckon it was line ball,
they wanted to bring up Lukey, and were tossing up between Coffield and White, maybe

Should have kept White in as a reward for getting 20, when Mav got about 12 only
(and I was at the game, and kept an eye on Mav, who really didn't do much right)

Weller was in our top 6 best last week, better than Hickey ( who apparently played a blinder, according to many on here), so no way he could be dropped!!!!!

We will be great again once Billy is back playing!!!!!

How is Lonie still in the team. I just don't get it
Good on them for dropping Billings. A bit late but good call

Armo must be injured. He didn't even make it as a named emergency.

Sorry mate, but Weller cost us two certain goals.

watch the "all goals" video on saints.com from last week... Billings features in a lot of them... when he gets involved things happen... I would not have dropped him, there are a few below him even at his worst

Also surprised about White... must not follow team rules I guess??

Hopefully the Billings dropping wasn’t Richo’s call. I want higher powers calling the shots.

What Teflon said. Must be more to Lonie getting in ahead of Billings and White than meets the eye. Weller is one of those people in life that just always land on their feet (figure of speech, he falls over a lot).

I’d rather an out of form Billings than f****** Lonie, he’s got to be Richo’s love child.

Hopefully there’s a late change on Saturday night, Billings in for Lonie.

Summed up beautifully, and I also agree with your White comments.
