NOTE: IF YOUR AFTER THE ROUND 13, 2009 TEAMS CLICK HERE

Round 13 has seen Sydney St Kilda coach, Ross Lyon swing the axe. But who did it really hit and did it possibly just NICK one of the players. The press is a buzz with news that apart from losing Michael Gardiner and Schneider to injury, he has omitted Stephen Milne and Nick Dal Santo. He has brought in four young players in Robert Eddy, Jarry Allen and Ben McEvoy (pictured left) for their first games and brought back the often unlucky David Armitage. Lyon said of the players dropped:

“We were one (win) out of four and we just re-iterated what we had committed to on behavior, core values, whatever you want to call them.

“We just need to live what we want to be seen to stand for.

“Certain players didn’t play to what we committed to in the opinion of the match committee,” Lyon said.
“The system just dictated that we respond.” 

Dal Santo is the strangest one of the players dropped. He has a huge rap on him and has been near his career average for possessions. The word is that he hasn’t done enough going the other way and he has been made an example of. So Lyon has to make this stick or else he opens himself up to being the laughing stock of the league. With that in mind, you have to ask why is Dal named as an emergency? Surely he shouldn’t be any chance to come into the team after the reasons that he was dropped? I have a strong feeling that someone in that Saints squad will come out late (there is some word that Robert Harvey could be the one in doubt) and Nick will go in to replace him. This will be a joke and show that the Saints are a rabble especially if the lowly Dockers can get up and win.

In other news, Geelong pair Joel Selwood and Matthew Stokes are in doubt for tomorrows match with West Coast. The word is they are being given a late fitness test before they are on the flight to the West. Will update this when more information is available.
