Squad for Friday v. Essendon
Moderators: Saintsational Administrators, Saintsational Moderators
semi finals win = serious money for making the finals.
st kilda are not in the red, but the $$ can't hurt and the follow on from membership bandwaggoners and sponsors doesn't hurt either.
and frankly hawthorn are crap.
imo im still hurting we lost to those pathetic jokes early in the season 07, very pleased we turned it around in the rematch.
I can't see why even understrength we don't smash them as long as we play to our strengths.

??? Kosi's roll IS ff.bigcarl wrote:how will the forward set up work without kosi and fraser?
i'd suggest roo at ff, allen playing kosi's role
What do you mean? Allen and Roo both playing from the square at full forward?
I think we'll see Roo close to goal, allen 35m out, and Charlie keep doing what he has been doing
Carpe Diem
roo is a great of football already and can play anyway, CHB, FF, CHF, wing, Ruck rover (i can't remember him playing FB)
kosi i think is less mobile but no less talented. Kosi at FF, allows reiwoldt to destroy the fittest defenders with his enormous petrol tank, allowing kosi room to dominate at FF.
i think reiwoldt to kosi will be or should be as big as loewe to lockett, and roo will chip in for a few goals himself as he did with FG running around the square.
i would suspect if reiwoldt ever went on the open market he would command as much as an anyone.

i couldn't help but let out a little laugh at terry wallet when he said words along the lines of coughlan out injured was the difference.
really a few fans were dissapointed when st kilda didn't make a play for this idiot, but after being a bit of fan of what he achieved, all I can say, was thats a bullet dodged.

as i understand it fraser will be full-forward this season with riewoldt at chf. kosi will be playing in between them in the same sort of role that jonathan brown fills for brisbane.Saint Corin wrote:??? Kosi's roll IS ff.bigcarl wrote:how will the forward set up work without kosi and fraser?

that's what plugger66 told me, anyway, and he is seldomn wrong about these types of things.
so i reckon roo at ff, allen playing kosi's role and charlie playing roo's role
it is a bit hard for some to get their heads around but, if the injury gods smile on us, this season we will have THREE key forwards ... a good move i think.
we have the talent to absolutely dominate aerially and make it very difficult for opposition defences to hold us to a losing score given even half decent supply

Cant see us playing 4 rucks so you would imagine one of the 4 will miss there. I would say Rix is the automatic selection as he can play back and has no injury history to speak of. Dont think Roo will be played (hope im wrong though). Only 3 of Lenny Ball Dal and Joey to get a gig IMO. Dont think Mini will be selected.
Maybe this year?

Win it for HIM!
Yep, and if we win the Grand Final as well, that's a cool $1 Million added to the saints bank account. Very handy that. So let's go for both NAB cup and the GF I say!Dan Warna wrote:semi finals win = serious money for making the finals.

and we all wanted Eade to take over stkilda at the time, what has he done so far?Dan Warna wrote:i couldn't help but let out a little laugh at terry wallet when he said words along the lines of coughlan out injured was the difference.

yeah sorry I thought we were up against the dawks this week when i made that post, my bad there.
essendung are a terribad side but for some reason they keep being more than competitive against us.
i think on paper who should cream them, its whether we do on the field that matters.
across every line we look stronger and more talented, but the difference between paper form and on field form is what matters.

I reckon that's a huge mindset we need to get over. Sheedy always had the wood on us and I reckon he always instilled the "no matter how the season goes you can always knock off the Saints" mentality on that playing group.Dan Warna wrote:essendung are a terribad side but for some reason they keep being more than competitive against us.
We've always been their whipping boys.
If we can start getting a few big wins over them, then hopefully that will erase the mindset of Essendon.
yeah we have bent them over a few times, but we are that much better than them IMO we should bury them like we have carlton.TimeToShineFellas wrote:I reckon that's a huge mindset we need to get over.

last season carlton fell over to us because we have had them psyched for the better part of a decade.
we also lift to play brisbane and often we see our best footy against them.
IMO we can't always play at our best because we aren't machines we are human (heck I remember the royboys tearing the hawks apart in their pomp in the 80s) but we are certainly good enough to bury essendung.
