Out: Geary, Dawson
In: Armo, Tommy Walsh (our secret finals weapon)

What's this crap about Dawson playing forward? Surely the 3rd tall option up there is Tommy Walsh. Surely!!

I didn't see ch 9 but Rooey's handballing is also not the best with constant handballing behind the running player or just totally missing the target.

Obviously fitness rather than skill may be the prerequisite lately.

Who is responsible for steering this campaign? Mike Sheehan aka The Luna Park Clown :roll: :roll: :roll: Maybe it was Mike or someone down at the heraldscum who placed the bet BEFORE the story broke with then someone else putting $130 on it and dropping the odds down to $2 (allegedly). That's a rea...

He/she/it also said the following:

"In round 22: We will manage to beat Sydney in a close game. "

Don't go putting your house on it.

Oracle? More like CROCKacle

Out - Armo & Blake

In - Baker & Walsh (sub).

Selectors preferred Lynch to Gamble a few weeks ago, so I am opting for the "surprise" selection of Walsh.

Good one JO. Baker for the small forward line and Walsh because he's overdue.

I'll even run nude accross the Souther Cross rail bridge if it happens.

I watched the footy shows on Monday night and a glaring stat came up where out of 9 games played against the final top 8 we have only won one game which was against West Coast on our own ground. I believe this week against Carlscum it is statement time. It is time we beat another team in the top 8 a...

I'm not sure about this 4 finals in a row stuff. Back in ye olden days there was a top 4 with 12 teams vying for a posi in there so only 1/3 of the teams made it. Currently there is a top 8 and up until this year 1/2 the teams make it so the goal posts have been shifted with that stat. HOWEVER I lik...

Big TW is one of only a handful of players in our side that has represented their country.

I think he's saying that finishing top 1 or 2 gives every one a burden of performing in the finals due to the high ladder finish but this year we can just take it 1 week at a time and aren't expected to win.

By the way I think you are pretty much spot on.

One swallow does not make a summer and one bumper win over the Kangarooters does not make it the best forward line in the league. RL has been trying out 3rd tall options most of the year with Archer, Johnson, Gamble, Sippos (both not too tall but going for that 3rd tall kind of roll) and I have no d...

Difficult with ground availability. Thought it was pretty obvious but clearly not. Say Collingwood v Geelong is at the G, Gold Coast v Hawks is at Metricon, Bulldogs Freo is at Etihad, Saints v Carlton?? Richmond North?? Richmond North?? Punt Road Oval Saints v Carlton?? Moorabbin or Junction Oval ...

We are now going into the finals with a chance of a home final, If we win that, a home semi.

If we win the first week then we may have a semi in West Coast Eagle Land.

Clarko has be re-signed by the Dorks. That means Rossy may be back on the agenda

Here's a video of his goals at Vic Park last week: http://www.youtube.com/officialsaintstv#p/u/2/OTSkr4Og-_E Thanks Winmar. So, he can kick like a mule. He can kick it as straight as a dye. He can lead and take a mark. He can crumb and kick a goal. He can kick them from the boundary. I'm not sure w...

the team looks typically conservative for a big game. but every game has been. will withhold criticism in the hope that walsh plays. what if walsh plays and we lose - and therefore have very little chance of finals? would you be happy or sad? This is a team sport. One player won't make the differen...

Poor decision. What does Walsh have to do to get a game? Kick 10? 12? Get in the best in the VFL for 50 games straight? Would have given a hell of a lot more than Blake or Gilbert. Maybe be in Sandy's best for more than ONE week. Are you joking? He has been in the best in nearly every game and, mos...

Tommy kicks 6, wins Sandy the game against the scum buckets last week and he still doesn't come in? WTF? What did Gamble do last week to be an emergency? Surely you don't need Dawson and Blake. Blake has to come out and Tommy slots in forward as the 3rd option and 2nd option when Kosi goes in the ru...

There's still hope.

EMERGENCIES
Steven Baker
Tommy Walsh
Ryan Gamble

Same old same old.

Stan Alves & Kenny Sheldon

I was there and it was a fantastic night

Thanks mcadam05

Pity the following week wasn't so crash hot.

Yeah. RL said something like he will play when the time is right. When is the time ever right?
