Thanks Spinner...
As RL stated at the luncheon yesterday, he would love to have no changes to the side for the whole season...
I don't think that will happen, but it really puts us in a great position.

The hard decision would be to put in the blokes that are senior players and originally part of the 22 (ie Max, Raph, and Maguire and Xavier to a lesser extent).
Takes the much easier option of not dropping players because we are winning. Its soft. Raph should be automatically back, and I feel he will be a late call up.

Well RL stated that he is not going on the history of players to get a game and they will have to really earn it.Spinner wrote:I tend to look at not changing the side as the easy way out.St Fidelius wrote:Thanks Spinner...

This is dependent on current players having a shocker...
I really don't think he is taking a "easy option" at all.
In RL mind, the "original 22" are the CURRENT players

What coach in their right mind would drop Zacthirty-seven!? wrote:You just wonder how much better we could be if we were playing players like Max, Goose and Raph rather than Eddy, Zac and Gwilt...
Whist the latter three have definately done their bit... surely the former few names could take the side to another level...
Surely you are kidding, Zac has not put a foot wrong and you actually think that by dropping him we will play better???
Just what happens to a player's confidence??
just what happens to a TEAM that is undefeated when you drop a player that is preforming??
I like RL attitude on this, and if you don't that's fine, but for me, the side is doing fine.
It just puts pressure on the current 22 to preform

agreed. not changing the side says "i don't know what i did, but we're winning, so let's hope it keeps going". if anyone pushes hard enough in the reserves, they need to have the option of being promoted for anyone who underperforms in the ones.Spinner wrote:I tend to look at not changing the side as the easy way out.

that said, last week gwilt and eddy were the last two, but no-one really pushed to replace them, so they got to keep their spots.
have to feel for mcevoy, though. he didn't play at sandy last week or this week, after being good for the first five weeks there, and st kilda emergency every week. makes it very hard for him to push for selection if he's not getting a game. i really hope for structural reasons that he comes in as a late change for gwilt.
Why is that. Goose hasnt played for 2 years and we are winning without the other two. I am not sure you can win 7 games out of 6.thirty-seven!? wrote:You just wonder how much better we could be if we were playing players like Max, Goose and Raph rather than Eddy, Zac and Gwilt...

You actually think RL is thinking "I don't know what I did, but we are winning"
My God there are some simpletons on this forum.

Would have liked to have seen one more tall, liked our balance in the first couple of weeks more than our current one. Hope Gwilt or Eddy can start holding some marks in the fwd line, especially if someone gets hold of Roo.
Mind you I wouldnt have liked to have made the decision who gets dropped.
St Fid- Geelong have won 49 out of 52 matches and have made many selection changes based on performance, balance and ability. It is called professionalism when the players dropped and the players around them accept this and work harder to get back or to make sure the same does not happen to them.

Raph Clarke, Mc Evoy and Armitage now officially named as the emergencies.
But Armitage played for Sandringham so Mc Evoy and Raph Clarke are the real emergencies.
We need to observe who does and does NOT play for Collingwood in the VFL on Sunday (at the Cardboard Box Stadium at 2:00PM).
It must stick in Eddie's throat having to play his VFL side's home matches at Carlton's ground.
