no change

[Enrico_Misso]

Fiora

[Ralphy]

WHY not allen, mcevoy,

[SaintBot]

Callan Ward. If my memory serves me correctly, he is the Western suburb boy who already had Bulldog blood pumping through his body.

Would love to spoil his debut.

[rogerwa]

cant believe fioras name mentioned.is lyon just a little bit slow on the uptake or just a fn fool

he if brings back the likes of fiora he can kiss his coaching career goodby

Showing off the new Sandy recruit

[mick13]

completely with you on this Rog. Fiora is a waste of space in a St.Kilda jumper. Has had countless opportunities to prove himself and hasn't. Give Allen a go FFS. Fiora pffft.

[james rose]

HF: Schneider, Riewoldt, ferg
F: Milne, Koschitzke, fiora

fizz would go okay in a fwd line like this.

[Mr Magic]

Does anybody seriously think that the 3 inclusions will be anything other than emergencies?

[james rose]

Does anybody seriously think that the 3 inclusions will be anything other than emergencies?

no but just thought it was an interesting option

[Saints Premiers 2008]

WHY not allen, mcevoy,

why just won by 13 goals

continuity against a team that is way above us on the ladder...why would you bring in two raw kids???

because that is what they are...

[d roit]

Assuming the inclusions are just emergencies this week, i'd say im happy that the team is unchanged. By that i mean that i have thanked the higher power above us that Armo and Geary keep getting opportunities as they are truly developing into potentially fundamental players in our list.

When driving down the Nepean two weeks back hearing on SEN that Armo was dropped i nearly had a panic attack that wouldve caused a 15 car pile-up during rush hour.

[rogerwa]

even if you dont intend to play them WHY name 3 players who are just not up to it & never will be
fiora,fisher ,guilt

trying to find a reason...maybe fiora to run with eagleton...fiora's had 8 yrs to do something..never has never will
maybe fisher hard body to block conney at the stopages...good luck
guilt...god knows

with these selections looks as if bloody gehrig & r.clarke will be back next week

thought we were trying to weed out our crap not promote them

SOFT selections

Never be up to what? Fisher looked every bit "up to it" when he used to be played in the position in which he should be played, and he has even made a reasonable fist of a tagging role in some games.

Fiora sometimes looks up to AFL standard, sometimes doesn't.

Gwilt has always looked at least to be on the fringe of AFL standard in almost every AFL game he has played: I really don't understand why he hasn't been given more of a go by Lyon.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see Fiora get a game on Sunday, and I wouldn't disagree with it either: perhaps ahead of M Gardiner.

Geez some of you guys on here are quick to write players off. If you guys had been in charge at the club, we would have probably gotten rid of Robert Harvey after his first couple of seasons!!

Why instead of our #1 ruckman who probably played his best game for us last week?

[Gilbert=Legend]

WHY not allen, mcevoy,

bout time you said something that was descent

[mad saint guy]

How many weeks missing is that for Xavier and Bakes?

[midas_touch]

How many weeks missing is that for Xavier and Bakes?

I believe this will be their 4th game out each. They last played against Richmond in round 7.

[Mr Magic]

How many weeks missing is that for Xavier and Bakes?

Bakes did his knee against Richmond?
So that would make it now 5 weeks (4 games and the bye)

Did X do his hammy in the same game?
If so it seems a long time for a regular hammy, unless they are being ultra-conservative with him because of his history with repeat soft-tissue injuries?

[rogerwa]

fiora,fisher,guilt WOULD NOT get a game at any other club & i'd go as far to say that fiora & guilt WILL NOT be on any clubs list next yr

i would love to see us trade fisher to essendon as we could get a 2nd rounder for him imo...

i dont eat my own however they need taggers/hard nuts and he could provide that

i struggle to see where he could really fit into our 22 however

he has looked out of sorts this year and his efforts were summed up with his half-arsed effort at spoiling against the lions at the gabba where maximus gave him a spray asking him 'if he had any balls'

its a shame really i know none of the "ins" will actually play i would of prefered the coach took the opertunity to reward one of the younger guys by getting their name read out on the footy show instead of the same old same old Fizz fish and gwilt

because ross lyon looks to the footy show to give his players boosts

because ross lyon thinks that putting a younger player in the lights of maingain or whatever its called in the age will be so beneficial to his football development

the longer our kids are under the radar the better
