Spida out / changes for Saints game

[Go Swannies]

Well, we were wondering who would make way for Baz. The AFL report on Roos' defence of Goodes ended that Spida is unlikely to play this weekend as he has a tight hamstring. LRT rucking? White?

Is it definate Spida won't be playing this week?
If so,maybe Hall could be used as a back up ruckman or is he too small?

[TheMase]

Possibly Playfair and Jolly switching from the goal square.

Davo in!

Playfair at ruck *shudder*

I for one would like Jesse to play ruck. Good game to step up being at home in the familiar SCG.

Has to be better than LRT, and in any case we probably need him down back this week.

Spida is not firing at the moment.....and we will not win a GF unless he does...the other ruckmen are raising their knee and he isn't jumping high enough...maybe he needs to adopt the same tactic....he can win games for us and as the last line of defence save us.....good big men are hard to find. Jolly doesn't measure up as a ruckman but he is a useful tall.

That must surely rate as one of the most bizarre comments ever posted on this forum.


As for Everitt, he has had very little impact since returning, and is a logical choice to be omitted, injured or not.

Saying Playfair is a better ruckman than LRT is like saying Brent Green was a better acquisition than Richard Ambrose.

This comment had a fair bit of credibility until the last line. Wtf?

He is having probably the best year of his career thus far, doesn't measure up? Who are you comparing him to?

Crusher Currie will come in this week for Spida.

It must be a typo, and he meant Playfair instead.

Am i missing something or did i think Spida played his best game of year for us on Saturday Night? His last quarter especially was magnificent.

Bit bemused by the talk of dropping him if he is not injured. He is most definitely in our best 22.

OP mentions tight hammy, I think that is considered an injury.
