Roo will play i'm convinced. Straight swap for Steven, that'll be the only change imo.

He won't play in my opinion.
I fear you nay be right, Saynta. If it was bone bruising, there's no way he'd be right after just two weeks. Having said that, it is Roo we're talking about. Like the Black Knight, he could lose a limb and play, calling it a flesh wound!


I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Why not Short?
Might get political if we have to add Shorten to the list :)

If Paddy is fully fit, I would hope that he doesn't make way for Riewoldt. In fact I'd be furious and would consider it so stupid, I probably wouldn't go to the game. Paddy needs to string games together, senior games not VFL games!

If necessary Paddy should be picked ahead of Membrey or Bruce.

I mean, he would say this, but...

“He trained really strongly on Thursday and feels really good,” Richardson told reporters at a press conference on Friday morning.

“We made sure that he did everything that he’s going to be asked to do on game day with respect to contest and jumping, changing direction and all that aggressive lateral movement.

“Not only was he able to perform strongly, but pulled up really impressively. So he’s good to go on Sunday.”

Embrace the incumbent, everything is far better now than it would be under Shorten. He is quite similar to Donald Trump with the exception that he hasn't made a penny of his own money, but is good at spending the money of others. He started his work life as a very mediocre public servant (if you discount his work experience job at Collingwood FC where he was sacked for knicking Grand Final tickets and selling them) and has never held a job on merit. His intelligence is also a fraction of Trump's.

If this idiot is ever PM, God help us!

A bit of a misnomer

Final final teams are actually 90 minutes prior to game time

So we are one down in the midfield (losing our best genuine onballer) but we are keeping all of Webster, Savage & Joey in the back half where we are overloaded. Unless Joey plays midfield but then we don't get his good kicking from the back. Don't like this balance. We struggle in midfield rotations as it is and now we go one down. Brisbane could smash us in the middle and then we will chase tail like for 3 quarters against Melbourne.

Roo could easily have had another week off and we could have played Sincs or Minch to help us match it against Beams, Rocky, Zorko et al. If Roo goes down sore mid-game I will be very unhappy with the selection panel. We lose Steven's speed and get Roo who lets be honest lumbers a bit. REally worried we are going to be slow and get beaten in the middle. Need a huge game from Hicks.

His intelligence must be very poor if its a fraction of Trump's!

If we can survive Tony Abbott, I'm sure we can survive Shorten.


Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.
