So do they take the bold move and drop Ceglar for Big Boy?
I hope not. Couldn't stand the flack if another Saint wins a flag with a different team after Bally.
.....I hope Ben plays. he is an ex saint who didn't want to leave so I hope nothing bad for him....
Yes must agree, he didn't want to leave. I'm glad McEvoy is in the side, hope he plays a blinder. Still want the Swans to win though - no bigtime Hawker for me.
Was hoping Mitchell would be selected for the Swans.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
Why is it so? I'd like to see McEvoy do well, and I enjoyed watching Dal Santo BUT for some reason I'm keen to see Goddard fail miserably. Why do I think this way, all three were loyal Saints players.

BJ was a snake, the other 2 left on much better terms.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

The club wanted to lose BJ. I think BJ suffers from going to Essendon but most wont admit that. You don't like many people do you?
BJ's move to the Dons is a terrible hard luck story - I have no doubt that he was burnt out at the Saints, his personaility type didn't cope well with the so near yet so far scenario and I don't think he had a rebuild him physcologically. This seems to have gathered momentum quicklly with his relationship with Watters. At the end, it was robably in evryones best interest that he leave, both for his footy and for our compensation/restructioning of TPP model as Pelchen and Amit have stated.
The longer it goes, the less likely the Bombers look to be a premiership contender, although, that could change too. I mean they have plenty of good young talent, and losing Ryder wont be the end of them by any stretch...lets not forget they have 2 of the most exciting KPP in the comp. I dont begrudge BJ any success, but if I were a betting man, I dont think the DOns will win a permiership any sooner than us...IMO
I actually thought it was the obvious inclusion. He has been averaging close to 200 SC points in the reserves since being dropped, and Ceglar was awful last week I thought. Swans have bigger bodies, but not quite the lightening ball movement of Port. Better match up for Pyke.
Cyril was the one I was shocked with. Haven't seen him run at close to 100% either at training or last weeks game. Massive risk.
saint Wagga i somewhat disagree with your comment ... i think BJ was prepared to take on a leadership role with the club and help the rebuild working with the young guys but i think it was a decision from the club that considering the price tag of a player like BJ and the compo we would recieve from letting him go it was going to be a win for us to let him go ..
i reckon BJ would have loved nothing more than to have stayed at the saints and been a one club player but the truth of it was he was only ever going to get well below his market value playing for us and we were only interested in keeping him if he was going to come cheap so we parted ways ...
sad to see him go but he didnt exactly dog us as some fans will have you believe
