Last time they played
Rd 17 2012
Saints won 82-61 in what was considered an upset at the time, with Saints mounting a late challenge in the season and WCE flying at the time.
Brownlow votes Dal, Joey, Priddis
Outs for Saints since last played:
Fisher, Peake, Polo, Schneider, Clarke, Gwilt, McEvoy, Gamble, Dawson
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Ins: Saad, Milera, Stanley, Siposs, Steven, Wilkes, Geary, Simpkin
(wowsers some of those are key players, but the others, well thats what you call a changing of the guard)
No real injury concerns for the Saints coming into this week, Scott Selwood hurt his back/shoulder v Essendon and Priddis suffered a heavy concussion.
Key matchups?
Hayes v Kerr
Jones v Shuey
Stanley v Nic-Nat
Dempster v Darling
McKenzie v Roo
Think they need to put some time into Hill who has loomed quite dangerous with the change of jumper.
They struggled to score v Essendon, who put them under intense pressure. With Kennedy out, Darling now gets a better defender, and so the flow on effect goes. Nic-Nat coming back in may impact the clearances, as he can clear the congestion quite easily.
Very winnable for mine, alot of their traditional goalscorers missing (Kennedy, LeCras, Embley, Nicoski) which seems to be impacting their ability to score.
Our forward line is functioning very well, almost WCE like of 2011 with a good balance of talls/smalls.
