Who will be the surprise selection for Round 1

Post: # 894150Post 3rd generation saint »

As we are a week away when the reality of a new season beginning when we see our round 1 team, who do you nominate as a surprise selection.
I have two, Stanley or Peake.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

Wouldn't be one bit surprised to see Peake in the team.

Realistically, there won't be any.

However, if it were to happen, in order I'd say: Lynch, A Smith, Stanley, Heyne... would be the chances.


I'll be bloody dark if McEvoy doesn't play. Surely, he's in the 22 now. King to give him a rest every six weeks or so (assuming Gardy comes up soon).

Dempster will probably play round 1 after doing nothing all pre season again... Or Eddy... One of those 2, and probably both in by round 3....

Peake is OK IMHO. one of the Nab cup games, when i saw the no 32, he looks just like James Trianidis !!

No surprise to me, but having not played a NAB Cup game, I'd think Michael Gardiner may surprise a few.

I expect Miles will replace Fisher.

I wouldn't think it's a big surprise considering he was an emergency 8 times last season but as he's yet to make his senior debut I suppose it goes in this thread.

Well Raph would be a surprise as he has been out with no games anywhere..

2 of Gardi, King or Ben

Armo would seem to have done enough....

So Peake, Geary, Gwilt and Dempster are probably slugging it out..
With Fisher out injured I would now be surprised if Gwilt missed..

McEvoy at full forward. Kosi in the VFL

100% agree, and no, it won't be a surprise. The rest of the team will stay pretty close to the NAB Cup GF team IMO.

Don't know if it will be a surprise but I expect Miles to play and hold his place in the side. He's the quiet achiever from the NAB Cup for mine.

I would be surprised if Peake plays, doesnt look to play saints footy yet if you ask me. Work ethic too low and ball movement to slow.

Gardiner or Raph coming in with out a praccy match or Kosi going to backline and Lynch/Stanley having a run are about the only likely surprises I see. More than likely there will be no first gamers though. IMO.


Maybe this year?

.
I think he has been trying to work hard and has been a goodly number of tackles which indicates at least a reasonable workrate.

I think he is still struggling to come to grips with all the set plays and set-ups causing him to look alittle lost at times.

Gardi played last week for Sandy (and played well....) and will quite likely play again this weekend.

think you'll find it was mcqualter wearing 32 and peake wearing 30, but i see your point.

given we're playing sydney, i wouldn't be surprised if dempster was the surprise selection in round one, and i'd be extremely surprised if it was smith, because he's too light-bodied.

If Lenny plays, then we probably don't play a first gamer. We may take a cautious approach with Lenny and maybe Gardiner. Armo and Gwilt are in regardless. I think Geary and Peake are too. If Lenny misses we may see a first gamer - either Smith or Miles. If Gardiner plays, either King or McEvoy misses. Stanley is no chance.


Yeah nah pleasing positive
