Changes vs the Saints

[What 18,810]

Also said Viney will be right this week

[Young Dee 1,303]

Those rumours and the one of VINEY all courtesy of DazzleD

[Je Roos Salem 661]

We were playing one back...

Was it Lumumba?

[rjay 24,577]

Actually Buckley said on AFL360

That after the fourth goal in a row he put Oxley as the spare.

One on one prior to that.

...and???

It's not that simple with the way the midfield, rotations and zones go. We were pushing numbers back into defence, they took one of their's and pushed him as a spare into our forward line.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Viney's having his breakout year. 3 games is a small sample size, but if it weren't for the injury he'd probably be one of the stars of the comp by now

[leucopogon 1,517]

I'm not saying you did this intentionally, but why is it that everyone is so quick to jump on mistakes by the likes of Fitzy, Watts and Dunn, yet everyone seems to have pushed Viney's dud kick directly to an opposition player 15 metres out dead in front that resulted in a goal, to the back of their minds?

Not excusing that dud kick, but in Viney's defense, Vince's handball was behind him and resulted in him losing his forward momentum and getting tackled.

[Pennant St Dee 12,653]

This is a classic case where the statistics don't tell the full story, he was timid and didn't hurt the opposition. This was clear for us at the game, not those just looking at the stats sheet. His handpass backwards to Gawn (while himself in the clear) was a clear example of this but it will just be measured as an "effective disposal".

He was played on Sidebottom who had no influence and along with Vince's job on Pendlebury was one of the main reasons we got the upper hand in the midfield

[Nasher 33,607]

But will we Nasher?

Stuff knows, old dee. The Sainters will be licking their lips just as much; obviously one group will walk away disappointed.

Not saying to pencil us in for a win, I just reckon to have already decided we won't is just silly.

[Neitz the Great 555]

I thought cross played on Sidebottom?

I think we can but if you look at the two sides form they are similar.

If we cannot win this then we have not improved as much as I think we have.

A loss is a major setback.

I think at the start of the season most would have had this as a win I did.

Most would have had the Pies as a loss.

4 and 7 at the half way mark of the season would be a good result considering where we have come from in 2012/3.

[markc 975]

who knew a toe could be so troublesome. Can't we just cut it off?

Frosty was looking like an excellent pick up for us early on. I throw him, Kent and Salem in the "what a bloody shame" basket, for they were looking awesome this season.

Sadly I am near 8 weeks since a toe operation and should be in a moon boot for another 6 weeks ...

Seems like one of those fickle injuries where you can't be too cautious.

Better to get him right for a long career with the Dees!

Toumpas did not play on Sidebottom...It was Cross!!

Season over see you in 2016

[Deespicable 2,672]

Thank christ Viney is fine as I reckon he'll have a huge job this Sunday - quelling the in-form Jack Steven.

I'd also imagine Bernie will go head-to-head with Armitage.

The interesting one is whether Tom Mc dramatic loss of form means he will get Nick Riewoldt again - I suspect he will.

All the Saints would have watched us on Monday and with an extra day off, they'll be pumped to beat us.

Then there's the fact that it is at Etihad.

Not good signs but I still reckon that we can win - provided Riewoldt doesn't dominate.

don't mind this

[beelzebub 23,196]

don't mind this

nor I

Fit for need

[Roger Mellie 3,873]

Me either, but prefer Riley as the sub.

He's in the Blease league of tanks.

[leucopogon 1,517]

Newton gets a reprieve this week, better show something. I agree with h_h's changes

[What 18,810]

Yeah thats true, would start ANB actually and have psycho Pig Dog come in as sub to smash some Saint skulls

[Adzman 2,153]

Newton is fortunate that VandenBerg and Garland are out injured. He was downright pedestrian. I think everyone is too busy criticising Fitzpatrick, Watts and Toumpas to notice how poor he was.

We would have been handed the vest is Vanders hadn't have done his hammy.

Grimes has to come in for Garland, and Tyson is automatic. ANB or Viv to replace Jones.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,836]

Both rumours were seperately mentioned on SEN. I dont think there has been a week where there hasn;t been an unpleasant surprise compared to the published injury list.

And Garland is this weeks surprise injury with a broken hand and surgery before the injury list is published but still not on the list. Salem also confirmed as doing his other hammy before this was published. I dont know why they bother publishing it.

[beelzebub 23,196]

You'd think unlikely ANB will start....Roos's path invariably gets him (ANB) the 'welcome' jacket !!

[Adam The God 29,327]

Not sure about that. I love him in the team, but his disposal is ordinary. He hasn't improved it. His old man (who I loved) struggled with disposal efficiency throughout his entire career. I hope Jack can rectify this area of his game.
