Grand Final teams

[8-6 Suited]

The teams are in for the grand final. They are as follows



Collingwood

IN: Leon Davis, Simon Prestigiacomo
OUT: Nathan Brown, Tyson Goldsack

I personally am not fond of the Davis in, Goldsack out call by MM and the selection committee. Davis is well known for choking, and if he does it again we could have serious issues. However, the Brown for Presti, I called and expected that.

Team:

B: Nick Maxwell, Simon Prestigiacomo, Alan Toovey
HB: Harry O'Brien, Ben Reid, Heath Shaw
C: Sharrod Wellingham, Dane Swan, Ben Johnson
HF: Alan Didak, Travis Cloke, Luke Ball
F: Dayne Beams, Chris Dawes, Steele Sidebottom
Foll: Darren Jolly, Scott Pendlebury, Dale Thomas
I/C: Jarryd Blair, Leigh Brown, Brent Macaffer, Leon Davis
Emg: Tarkyn Lockyer, Tyson Goldsack, Nathan Brown



St Kilda

IN: Steven Baker
Out: Ben McEvoy

I'm extremely excited to see Baker in the grand final as I am a fan of his play. To drop McEvoy could just be a plow as I am certain he is in their best 22 down at Moorabbin.

Team:

B: Jason Gram, Zac Dawson, Sam Gilbert
HB: Jason Blake, Sam Fisher, Robert Eddy
C: Brendon Goddard, Nick Dal Santo, Farren Ray
HF: Brett Peake, Justin Koschitzke, Leigh Montagna
F: Adam Schneider, Nick Riewoldt, Stephen Milne
Foll: Michael Gardiner, Lenny Hayes, Clinton Jones
I/C: Sean Dempster, Andrew McQualter, James Gwilt, Steven Baker
Emg: Jarryn Geary, Ben McEvoy, Rhys Stanley

Teams are now listed.

Big changes... Surely Eddy should have been out for Baker.

[roo boys!]

McEvoy was just starting to get some form up ???

[8-6 Suited]

I agree. He was also looking promising in the rusk as well building up a quality base for the 2nd ruck spot.

I must seriously question this decision as putting Gardiner/Kosi vs Jolly/Brown is a big risk.

Gone with experience. I'm nervous. Kind of didn't want Leon to play. Hope he gets a norm smith and proves me wrong

[8-6 Suited]

Yeah I'm worried about Neon Leon as well. Dissappears in finals. Hope to christ he doesnt this time.

Getting rid of McEvoy will hurt. Kosi as a second ruckman...... :-X.

Brown out for Presti was obvious. Similar player but Presti has a track record. Brown will take his spot in another year or two when he retires.

Davis chokes comes final times!! Really risky bringing him in for the GF. Could pay off if he gets over his jitters.

[Hawka]

didnt davis get a big fat 0 on his stats sheet in a grand final once

[CFC 1979]

McEvoy will come in and play

Eddie may be the one to miss

[Fletch74]

McEvoy will come in and play

Eddie may be the one to miss

+1 The Saints need a second ruck

[Justin Bieber]

McEvoy doesn't come in :(.

Presti is out and Brown comes in to replace him :o. I feel for him :'(.

[ossie85]

Presti still alive?!

Lockyer, Goldsack.....

Dream still there!


Do the people in the drawn final still get a medal? Probably not! Seems harsh though.

[hawk_88]

McEvoy will play.... Gardiner out.

Have a feeling that Baker won't be able to play next week. Looked too unfit out there and just didn't have the match practice. Fumbled the ball quite a bit.

Think Davis might have done his dash as well. Another nothing performance.

[Fletch74]

Yeah I agree hawk. Davis might miss next week. Only did one thing this week. McEvoy will finally get his chance :D

[reesbr]

Leon played pretty well I thought.
