Fool is not merely unacceptable to the moderators. It isn't acceptable to at least one poster here (me). Lack of civility - or basic manners - drives people away. So it's also counterproductive as they don't get to read your inanities.

If you are made to sit in the corner, I for one, won't be disappointed.

But Bigfooty is one of the most popular sporting forums in the world.

Thanks.

You park your brain when you go into BigFooty. Here we have a common interest. So the difference between here and BF is the same as the conduct acceptable at home and that accepted in a pub.

Robust discussion is great but personal abuse isn't. That's my view anyway.

But I thought you said it drove people away?
And Bigfooty has a lot worse then "fool" in every 2nd post.

FWIW, I will only use the word "fool" in extreme cases from now on.

If Willo is out, then I would go with either McVeigh or Malceski. Malceski probably has the disposal skills to be like Willo, but McVeigh will have the running power like Willo. If only we could play them as one!

Moore, while promising is just not ready for finals football or even home & away. Needs to work on his running and stamina and thus would be limited to only playing as a short impact player, dangerous as we need all 22 working this week.

With the injuries the Saints have and the lack of flexibility down back, I would bring in Vogels for Bevan. We may just need that extra marking target to stretch the Saints defence and try and isolate when of their 4 or 5 ranked defenders. Probably would force Grant to play Raphal Clarke or Goddard on Vogels and we could move him to the square to isolate that duel.

I reckon the only reason why Bevan played last week was insurance for if Willo or Ablett (both came in under a cloud) were forced off the ground. Ablett got through and if Willo does not play then we get a replacement out of McVeigh or Malceski.

As for match-ups:

Leo Barry to Gherig (Leo is going to have to be superhuman)
Craig Bolton to Reiwolt (Another super human effort required due to height difference)
LRT to either Blake or Quilt
Crouch for Milne
Tiger for Mongtana

Bevan played badly, but Roos might still be thinking that he's Willos cover if Willo doesnt play.

If Gehrig is as injured as they say, Leo should be able to contain him. If its wet, Bolton has the strength to go with Reiwoldt.
Crouch on Milne is the danger. Crouch will need to be 100% on his game. LRT on blake is perfect.

[Go Swannies]

If we can keep their midfield under pressure, it'll be a lot easier for Leo. If their midfield can hit Gehrig on the chest we're in trouble. But if he has to run and catch, Leo will probably get the better of him.

Oh, the joy it would bring to my world should that eventuate.
