[SuperDuper]

should win comfortably with that team and no Ablett

We have a strong team.... compared to what we had for most of the year..

Armo, Steven, Fisher.. all v. good players.. makes a huge difference

[Bluthy]

I sure as hell hope Steven is 100%. I haven't been impressed by the way we've returned some of our injured players too soon this year when there is no point in rushing them back.

True but they are playing for finals and are at home. It may click for them this week given a few weeks post Ablett adjustment.

I can't imagine them being as poor as Freo were, nor are we likely to be much better.

Saints by a goal or two.

You can get $3.25 for a Saints win.

Shenton unluckey, but Steven had to get back. A good problem to have.

bookies are mad then

[FQF]

Suns are objectively hard to beat at Metricon. Will take an equally good performance to Freo.

Which is unlikely given our overall performance this year.............hence we are the outsider

[Saint wagga]

Good looking team, looking to see the same intensity and team defence and also looking for repeat quality performances, especially from younger players!!

[The Fireman]

keep playing Shenton

[remboy]

Possibly the best 22 we've picked all year. It feels like a long time since Fisher, Schneider and Steven played together. If we bring last weeks effort we can win.

Best balanced team this year for sure too...

Fisher makes a big difference down back..
3 mobile big forwards
Savage with a penetrating kick and run out of the backline
And a swag of smalls...including the grunt of Armo and the smarts of Schneider.

[spert]

GC are gone, Ablett is their glue. We will win by 35 points.

[bergsone]

Very unlucky is Shenton

[remboy]

Very unlucky is Shenton

He is but now that Fisher is back I can't see who should miss out for him. He'd be ahead of the other emergencies if there's any change.

We were $16 last round! Did you get on?

[Dave McNamara]

keep playing Shenton

Definitely!

Very unlucky is Shenton

Definitely!


However...

Inter: J.Steven F.Ray B.Murdoch L.Dunstan
Em: S.Ross S.Dunell C.Shenton

Why would Dunstan be named the fourth (green jacket) guy on the bench?

He's had some recent head knocks, and shoulder issues. I'm suspecting a late change...

[saintbrat]

yet again game is oFF broadway on TV-

Fox Sports 3 for those looking to watch it.

[Wrote for Luck]

I thought the value in Bruce forward was clear to see last week. If he keeps playing there sooner or later he will kick three or four.
Under Richo the team seems to play best with three tall forwards. And little Tommy Curren at half forward will always kick one or two.
Also think Roberton and Fisher down back have made a big difference. Roberton overhead and ball use is solid.
Good looking team for sure - and this is without Webster, Geary, Gilbert and Wright.

[#gosaintas]

I always overrate StKilda teams but if we finish with the spoon again, it would have to be our best ever wooden spoon team! Not that there is a lot of solace in that...

Got know idea what you mean Dave. You have confused me completely. When was the last fourth named person the sub?

One could (rarely) ever accuse you of inconsistency Pluggs.

To paraphrase one of your favourite responses to people's questions about what you may have posted... "when did I say that the fourth named person on the bench is going to be the sub?"

However, there is a feeling that the last named is a bit of a likely pointer to whom is to be the sub.
Add to that... why would Dunstan even start on the bench when he is one of our prime movers in the packs?
Add to that that he's been knocked around a bit lately (head and shoulder hits).
Add to that the (in many people's opinion) 'unlucky' dropping of the Panther. (BTW, Pluggs I know I can safely post 'the Panther' in a post to you, as that nick is straight from a club article posted on the club website. )

Putting all that together, led me to surmise that there may be a late change,
and that late change may well be Dunstan in for the Panther... or maybe Ross?
(And it may snow today in and around Melbs'.)

We shall see what happens, eh?

Go Saintas!
