I was born, but i wasn't born yesterday.

....i am familiar with sarcasm too......and your references to the same 'logic' previously.

You have missed the mark here.

Officially the only change from last weeks team is....
Saad is in. (for now) for Williams who didn't get up from last week.

Gov is picked (for now)
Durdin is picked (for now) despite Vossy basically ruling him out last week.
Charlie didn't come up despite being named.

Binns, Moir, Lord, Carroll and McGovern currently named on the bench.

Fantasia, Lemmey, Wilson the 3 emergencies


I suspect McGovern won't get up
I suspect Durdin may not get up.
So perhaps another debutant this week as a result.

At least 1 of the emergencies will play. Probably Billy Wilson. Maybe all three will play, depending on how the guys pull up.
The 'Aints have never had a better opportunity to beat us, not even when we were ordinary. We've got a VFL side on the park, and not even a very strong one.

At this point must be a fair chance Lemmey and Wilson might in, the latter as sub.

That would take the injury tally to 19 if that is the case. Still after last week I trust who we have put up. If they get over the line a few of them might get a final so they'll be right up for it. With the bye a few will come back too.

Actually I just saw the ladder, Melbourne are currently 12th and StK are 13th. Will StK "risk" moving up the down the draft order by beating us and swapping ladder positions with Melbourne?

The chance to knock Carlton out of the finals?
Every teams dream.

Reckon SOS and Ross Lyon would love to be the team that messed up our finals chances..

I'd reckon they'd be torn, SOS wants the better draft pick (and I'm sure deep down he loves the club he played for) whilst Ross wants to cause havoc and finish the season with some big scalps.

[PaulP]

Yes, I don’t buy this idea that Lyon and Silvagni have extra motivation against us. Silvagni and his dad are legends of the club, his son is still here, several players he recruited are still here,  Liddle, LoGiudice and Bolton are gone (although I doubt SOS would have an issue with Bolts), he has publicly admitted that he went too far with the rebuild etc. If none of that matters as much as his petty grievances due to recent events, I think it reflects very poorly on him.

[Thryleon]

Remember his ego is bigger than any vendetta.  He's in a win win scenario.  St. Kilda win its revenge, but if they don't the list he built is in the mix for finals 3 years running.

Right now he'd be looking ahead to what he what he wants to achieve for the aints rather than anything else.  With them losing a free agent it's double jeopardy winning tomorrow particularly if the Suns knock off Richmond as expected.

Everytime I see footage of JSoS's 100th game I cringe, it's awful.  Bet the missus had some choice words in the car going home.
