Who comes in for Saddo ?

[footyhead]

Does anyone get dropped ??
Can we strengthen this team at all ?
what about Ablett and Sunny ??

[Syd Swan]

I reckon it will be Seymour for Saddington, and possibly Doyle for Mikeljohn

[sharpie]

Bit harsh on Meiklejohn after last game. He was great, plus Doyle wont be able to ruck for long periods of time. I think they will give Doyle a run in the 2's and bring him in for the game against Melbourne.

I wouldn't be surprised if Meiklejohn gets left out - the Pies don't pose the same problem for us in the ruck that the Lions did. So that leaves 2 to come in. If Doyle is available, I imagine he will play. That leaves the other IN between Nicks (I would prefer not, but he still seems to be highly regarded at the selection table), Sunny, Ablett and Seymour.

I'd love to see Symour come back in. Anyone who watched the ressies, did he have much time on the field? The week before he was on in spurts of about 10 -15 minutes with at least 5 - 10 minutes rest. That will be his only draw back, can he last a full game?

Maxie said Powell would be coming in last night on 2UE.

Maxie said

'The injury to Saddo gives the opportunity for guys such as Rowan Warfe and Mark Powell to come into the seniors'

Dave, maybe you were wishing he said Powell WILL be in.

If you did, I'm with you!!

[Dave]

I must have misheard!

You are right though BBB, I would love Powell to come in.
(please not Warfe).

Tallish utillity for another I would take a young Powell for sure.

Forget Doyle in the ruck he would only replace James as he could not carry any type of ruck work right now problem was when he was fit his weakness was his actual ruck work. I would not mind if he did not come back at all this year I like him to get fully fit and beef up abit for a full tilt next year.

Imo I love the three way rotation we have now MJ,Goodes,Lrt.

I'm just glad Saddo is out, if powell is in, good for him. Did you guys read the article regarding Saddo? How hypocritical was it when he said that the 'team' played poor in the first half.

[BAM_BAM]

I don't think our first half performace rests solely on Saddo's shoulders. He was unlucky with at least one the goals Brown got. If he controlled that mark I'm a monkey's unlce.

[CureTheSane]

I too would like to see the return of Seymour

[TheHood]

Seymour Butts? You have got to be kidding me!

His best days are so far behind him, he needs a memory transplant with Arthur Tunstall to recall.

No Warfe
No Seymour
No Nicks

Yes Doyle
Yes MJ
Yes Sunny
Yes Ablett
Yes Powell

Don't get me wrong, Butts has had some great days with our club but he has been slow, clumsy and ineffective for over a year and yes a lot of it is injury related, but it's too much to overcome.

On a scale of 1-10 ?
About 1.
