The only way Blakey adds to his games tally is as a backup ruck where necessary. Interesting to note Kosi is nowhere near the team, in years gone by he'd be a lock for the spot that Hickey may vacate.
Its a bit hard for Kosi to play at the moment. He is suspended.
I realised that after I typed it, but I suspect he wouldn't have been preferred anyway.

Why Milera and not Saad ? I think Terry has looked more dangerous and more likely to kick a bag. Saad has looked out of sorts to me.
Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants.

They might stick with Siposs full forward for now. Kicked only the one goal, I think, but it could have been three or four. Took a couple of nice grabs.
I wont mention 97 but this is another big one against the crows.
Hope Hickey comes up good but if not i can see the thinking behind Blake helping out McAboy.
With Wright probably needing time to regroup it'll be interesting if Dunnell gets the nod.
Glad to see Gwilt back there again with Fischer - the stronger structure should help the young felllas a bit more to settle in. Looking fwd. to seeing more of Webster and hoping Ross goes back 2 back with another solid and purposeful performance. I really enjoyed watching Ross last week draw lines in the sand so to speak across the Dome. He had a few blues guessing which really helped the rest of the team throughout the game.
Ross brought valuable presence and determination last Monday Night L thought.
Dal Santo gets another chance to make a vitally big impact on this game and I totally hope he can deliver.
G O S A I N T S !
The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.
In my view, we're more likely to line up as below rather than as listed. I don't think Stanley's been named as a backman all year!
FB: Roberton // Stanley // Gwilt
HB: Dempster // Fisher // Dunell
CR: Geary // Dal Santo // Montagna
HF: Milera // Maister // Siposs
F: Hickey // Riewoldt // Saad
RK: McEvoy // Armitage // Steven
I/C: Ross Webster Ray Newnes (sub)
IN: Maister , Dunell
OUT: Wright (jaw), Milne
Wouldn't surprise me to see Milney (or Saad) having a spell to give us an extra tall up forward. Equally wouldn't be surprise to see Jones in and Geary go back, rather than Dunell straight swap for Wright.
If Hickey doesn't come up, I agree with everyone that Blakey will come in, either to take Stanley's role down back and having Rhys ruck (I hope not), or directly as the back up ruck.
B: Jarryn Geary, Sam Fisher, James Gwilt
HB: Sean Dempster, Dylan Roberton, Jack Newnes
C: Farren Ray, Nick Dal Santo, Arryn Siposs
HF: Terry Milera, Rhys Stanley, Leigh Montagna
F: Tom Hickey, Nick Riewoldt, Stephen Milne
Foll: Ben McEvoy, David Armitage, Jack Steven
Int: Seb Ross, Ahmed Saad, Jimmy Webster, Beau Maister
Emg: Clint Jones, Jason Blake, Sam Dunell
I'm surprised. I thought Siposs looked okay at full forward and that Maister might have to spend a couple of weeks at Sandringham before forcing his way back in. It's not as if he's a proven star key position forward or anything.

Siposs I reckon is definately a fwd.
hope that's where he plays as I reckon hes looked ok there last few weeks.
