Ducks and drakes.

Hope you're right TL, I think Kosi is so so important to our premiership chances, not to mention that he would be incredibly disappointed to miss through injury.

If you think about it, it's not really surprising.

We have had all 3 emergencies warm up right throughout the finals so its not surprising that he has been pulled out of the sprint.

His needs to be involved in everything that goes on down in the change rooms just in case something happens and he needs to play.

That's what I reckon too.

It's a club effort, not a selected 22 effort.

Emergencies are there as insurance. Stanley would have been gone from the sprint the moment he was named as one of the 25.

His inclusion may indicate there are some concerns and those concerns may or may not involve Kosi.

However this "development", IMO, adds no weight to any argument that there will definitely be changes.

Trying to look at the bright side here, but if there is no late change, Ross has ensured Micky Malthouse has absolutely no clue...

I agree. A change is a distinct possibility. But it won't be Kosi.

And as for 'development'...It's all based on a speculative spacfilla quoteless sourceless story from a scribe at the Australian...I'm not sure there's a development at all...

I am loving Ross's form this week. Quietly, quietly goes it and a few 'red herrings' towards the end of the week. We are no more clued in than Collingwood as to whom will run out on Saturday and I LOVE IT!!!!!

GO THE MIGHTY SAINTERS!!!!!

When I clicked the link for the article and saw the wording "the australian understands...." I took it with a grain of salt

Spinner · Post: # 997387Post **Spinner** » Fri 24 Sep 2010 11:57am

Of course he is out of the sprint.... He's an emergency...

Surely this would have been assumed as soon as the teams were announced yesterday....

why else would they have 2 guys at 200cm on the emergency list? kosi must have an injury

Well to be fair.... McEvoy should/has always be in the team... Who has been replaced with a small...

So realisitically.... The 'squad' only has one tall emergency.

If you get what im saying thou...

But I have no idea what so ever.

Still think Baker may not play, and Geary or Ben come in, so I guess makes the emergencies

Baker, Stanley, McEvoy

or

Baker, Stanley, Geary

Which is not indifferent to recent lists from memory?

McEvoy would replace Kosi, not Stanley.

rodgerfox · Post: # 997408Post **rodgerfox** » Fri 24 Sep 2010 12:14pm

What a laugh.

Do they AFL fine you if you're a late withdrawal for the Grand Final sprint?

According to "The Australian" McEvoy will replace Stanley in the sprint!

This is all making me think it's one big mind game...Ben, in the sprint

Or does that translate to Ben holding Stanley's spot, until Ross decides he's done with the games and Stanley runs like he was always going to?

Does anyone seriously think anyone at the club has given more than 3 seconds thought to the ****ing Grand Final sprint?

Fair dinkum.

Well, certainly enough thought to both register Stanley for it, and then withdraw him

Nobody cares about the actual sprint. That is not the point. Ross 'appears' to be throwing a few red herrings out there for Malthouses benefit. I didn't even watch the sprint last year and couldn't have told you who has won it for the length of it's history. However, you pull a player out of the sprint that is an emergency for a team that is playing in the GF, you will raise a few eyebrows and create some talk. Job well done! We have all been discussing it so you can be sure the Filth are as well!

Mission accomplished if you ask me.

yeah you are right on this. that would be why stanley has pulled out fo the sprint.

kosi may be sore, and stanley is there for insurance purposes
