Match Committee- Round 9 vs St Kilda

Re: Match Committee- Round 9 vs St Kilda

I can't say that it's the wrong decision but I do feel a bit sad seeing Cross get dropped. He's been a regular since mid 2004 and a fine and determined player for a long period of time.

Pretty pleased with the changes
Williams ( hopefully he gets through) for Markovic
Hrovat's a beauty. Sad for Daniel Cross but the game doesn't stop for anyone.

Re: Match Committee- Round 9 vs St Kilda

In: Addison, Williams, Hrovat
Out: Cooney, Cross, Markovic

On a side note Hayes is back in for the saints. Yay

He's got old mans injury though.
Big risk, as they come back often calf injuries.

Sad for Crossy, you know he'd be hurting right now.

Strange to see Williams straight in for Marko - thought Williams would have at least one game back to VFL level. Marko played ok, if he was to be dropped I'm surprised Roberts didn't get a run.

Look I love the guy and everything he has done. But it wasn't like, "somebody has to go", he has punched his own ticket. I just hope they have made the point to the others not pulling their weight.

commiserations crossy. Wouldn't have been dropped for lack of effort.

Would have rather had Body take a spell than Cross. But guess you can't do that with the captain,

I'm REALLY surprised as well...and I like/want Tom in this role! Roberts has form, and match fitness.

Really strange

Good luck to Hrovat, looking forward to seeing him

Really like Hrovats highlights from Willy last week. Looks like a player who really gets involved, and a lovely kick.

Looking at the selected sides I feel the Sains match up extremely well against us. Unless a fair number of our boys are at the top of their game it may not be fun to watch...again..... Griffen, Murphy, BOYD, and someone in the forward half please play blinders!

I would say with the selection of Williams that it would be based on experience, rather than have a 2nd gamer come in. Match fitness (apart from injury) is the concern with Williams - selected as FF. Wonder if he will spend most of the game down there and pinch hit in the ruck for 5 or so minutes a qtr.

Great to see Hrovat selected as well.

Me too. Good luck to young Hrovat, hope he enjoys the experience!

As for Tom Williams, I am a little concerned about this selection and his lack of game time - then again I don't think there will ever be a game where I'm not worried about Tom getting to the final siren uninjured. Good luck Tom and welcome back!

Is Nathan's name Hrovat or Hvorat? The team announcement email has him as Hvorat. I actually thought it was Hrovat.
