I think all the players would be reluctant to have a rest even for a week.

It's too hard to get back in the side at least for fringe players like R Clarke

and Eddy.

I still prefer Ethiad . More atmosphere, better seating, especially for

reserved seat holders, better chance to win and give us confidence for the

finals. And will it really provide a financial gain? A lot of the extra seating is

taken up by the MCC and AFL members.

From personal point of view I definitely prefer to watch from my reserved seat on the wing at Ethiad than the crap seats we will be allocated behind the goals at the MCG. Also we would forfeit our home ground advantage. Think what a good win in this match would do for our confidence if we meet in th...

No.... just admission to level 3 and only to those seats not reserved...Which I think maybe rows A to F.

I went to ticketmaster this afternoon to book a seat level 3 and they are sold

out...also for level 2.

Just general admission left it seems. I didn't ask about level 1 though.

Me too...saw both parts of the game over 2 nights.

Mike Sheahan obviously still doesn't rate us. Tipped against us again!!

No wondering he is lagging so far behind most others in the tipping.

Yes a lot of the media are underestimating us.

Mike Sheahan has tipped against the Saints in at least 3 of the 5 games this year.

And remember GT was about to cut him fom the list before he was sacked.

The scoreboard didn't reflect our dominance in the second half.

Nevertheless who wouldnt have taken a 66 point win before the game started?

Yes good interview.

He thought Robert Harvey best ever saints player without question.

He also thought there have been better StKilda lists than 1966 which hadn't

won a flag.

If the team is picked on form then surely X should be selected.

He had 3 BOG's in a row with Sandy. I can't remember Eddy being

mentioned as showing any form. So where is reward for effort?

I can't believe they have selected Eddy ahead of X.

Lyon must see something he hasn't shown us on the field yet.

Our worst player in last years finals series.

Interesting to see we have four of the top 15 in brownlow medal betting.

Dal. Joey, BJ and Roo.

I don't think even Geelong have bettered this.

If I remember correctly St Fidelius, Port beat us comfortably by over 60

in a practice game this pre-season.


Considering our past record against them, I think we have plenty to fear

and will have to play at our best.

I have always been a CJ fan and wanted him in our best 22.

He has shown plenty from his first game. About time some of his critics

woke up to his talent and endeavour.

I always watch a tape of the game after seeing it live.
It confirmed what I thought when I saw it live.
Raph close to best on the ground when he went off injured.
Geary still not good enough to be in our best 22.

Is this change official?
I must say I would prefer a fit X to Geary in this important game.

I would much more appeciate a live broadcast.

How does McQualter keep being selected?

Leigh Fisher is surely a better option.

Agree that McQualter must go.
Has shown nothing and was huge liability during the finals...should not have been selected.

I have to agree with Evertonfc that Birss and X are preferred to Mini and Eddy. I don't believe McQualter is up to AFL standard. He has shown little in the many chances he has had. Eddy will certainly make it as a player but still falls a bit short of what's required. Falls over too much, tackles do...

I went to the '66 Grand Final, much to my Mother's horror because I am Jewish too and it was on a very holy day. But I thought if it's good enough for Ian Synman to play, them its ok for me to go. I took a fellow Jewish supporter with me to ease my conscience. I have no regrets about going and still...

I think Eddy will be a player but not quite up to it as yet. I don't believe Mcqualter will ever be good enough.

I would bring in both Birss and X this week who both showed something with Casey on Sunday.

Ball if fit should replace Allen who was very lucky to be selected against Collingwood.
