Holmes upgraded
St Kilda has upgraded Jason Holmes to the senior list under the rules allowing a rookie to be promoted to replace a WADA-suspended player.

Hmm thought he already was.. Might going to play against the Bombers..Good luck Holmsey
Re: Holmes upgraded
Surely Pierce is the next cab off the rank if Hickey has a rest/is injured?
Perhaps he has jumped the queue and is now ahead of Longer?
Wouldn't surprise me, Longer has gone backwards at 100mph this season.

Re: Holmes upgraded
Whoah dude. Well done Holmesy but what does this mean for Billy? And even Pierce? Maybe they will give Hicks a rest and put Holmesy in with his leaping. Maybe Longer is still not 100%. Thought Pierce could have got a shot though.

Leuenberger would knock off Pierce if they were only two played and we do not want to give the Dons any any edge over us.Bluthy wrote:Whoah dude. Well done Holmesy but what does this mean for Billy?

Winning againts the Dons could set us up for a good last two thirds of the year. Losing on the otherhand could see the wheels well and truly fall off.
I wonder if Hickey has pulled up sore and the club may be reluctant to play Longer as he has looked indiferent this season???

Re: Holmes upgraded
Waste of time promoting Holmes. Doesn't know how to get a kick.

Re: Holmes upgraded
Hard to know what the thought process is. Maybe promoted just in case. Longer doesnt seem fit. Perhaps they don't feel that Pierce is AFL ready. At some stage this year they have to decide whether to keep Homes or not, so perhaps he will be given a chance to show what he can do.
I certainly hope he gets and opportunity

I also thought he had already been promoted pre-season because of the Carlisle banning.Playon wrote:Hmm thought he already was.. Might going to play against the Bombers..Good luck Holmsey
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Holmes upgraded
Holmes won't play this week, he'll be an emergency. Meaning Pierce would be emergency again if he was in the squad. With Sandinrgham having a bye next week Pierce would potentially miss three weeks of footy.LTN16 wrote:Strange.. Pierce was an emergency last week why not bring him in!?

Re: Holmes upgraded
If Holmsey doesn't start dominating the VFL anytime soon I reckon he'll have to be worried about staying on the list. Maybe he'll go back to being an International rookie for one more year.

Re: Holmes upgraded
The interview with Richo yesterday on Saints.com site, Richo was asked about Holmes and his chance of playing. Richo said Hickey had been ill this week, but seeing the match isn't played until Sunday he thought Hickey would be recovered ok - so Holmes is insurance. Obviously Holmes is above the pecking order than Longer.
Richo didn't say Hicky was sore or carrying an injury - just that he had been sick during the week.
