Their team looks more like St. Kilda seniors compared to ours. With the game in Brisbane, it is questionable about how many of the emergencies play. That doesn't leave much at all.

Rice gets a 2nd go and we could probably do with about 3 of him. My God, have we fewer Carlton listed players available?

Cameron Giles is playing in the development team.

Interesting to see how Giles pulls up. We can all wish him well in his first game for more than a year.
I also note that Russell is named. I am a bit surprised, as he was playing OK before he was injured. But perhaps he is not 100% fit either.

It will be very interesting to see how Giles goes.

Most importantly, I am keen to see that the young man has recovered from a potentially career ending injury.  Not far behind is the desire to see Giles fulfill his potential as one of our key defenders.

Interesting to see Menzel listed as a follower. Hopefully he plays the majority on ball.

He played on the ball effectively all last week and played his best game for ages. But his relative lack of physicality did tell: he still gets out-bodied too easily.
Early in the year he was mooted as spending more time on the ball and less up forward. Things didn't work out that way, but maybe we are seeing a glimpse of the future?

It's good to see the nb's trialling a few things.

We will get smashed again..Saints small forwards are all senior players..only positive is that Wood might give us some edge in the ruck.....

Highly probable in the circumstances. It would be nice to put a stronger team on the park, but when the cattle are not available...

good to see Rice playing again
