One Down, Two to Go

[3rd generation saint]

The first of our three wins is in the bag.
Today, I saw the team that finished on top of the ladder back to their mean miserly best.
Don't let the 5 goal margin fool you, we could have won that game by a bit more, thought we took the foot off in the last part of the third and last half of the last quarter.
Now we sit back and hope for a hard fought contest between the Dogs and Lions.
Personally, I can't see any changes being made to this team for the prelim.
GO YOU SAINTERS!!!!!!

Personally, I can't see any changes being made to this team for the prelim.

Could be interesting...the two teams we could face are vastly different...the dogs have a small and mobile forward line which favours Max...the Brions have two gorillas in Brown and Bradshaw which favours Zac.

Other than that, I agree, I can't see any other changes. Arguably Eddy is the only vulnerable one, but once again he busted his butt today regardless of what the stats say.

i dont see how fast small players favour max. I reckon Fev was the only player Max would have played on and he is out now.

Agreed, from the grandstands it looked a very calculated win despite us supporters all naturally feeling nervous all day until rooey snapped that amazing goal

As for next week, i look forward to going to the MCG on a friday night without a care in the world and see two teams thrash the crap out of each other.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

WHATTT?
its simple its the other way around

DOGS - no changes
LIONS - MAX in

Max needs to take out one of the biog forwards. Only MAN with strength enough to beat brown/bradshaw.

Guarantee this. But hey we will never know cause the dogs will smash the lions

Also agree.

Max is the right match-up for Bradshaw IMO!

Zac has clearly become the favoured option as full back, particularly against the power forward..but arguably the dogs are the only team left in the finals without a forward forward.

My point being that if Max is quicker and more versatile than Zac could this be Max's last chance for September action?

Max is very one dimensional (not quick and versatile) which is why Zac is in and Max is not.

Agree, I am now sure that the decision has been made with Zac over Max, SOS practically said as much before the game....
