Looks like they are committed to bringing SoJ back, it's a worry for me given his shoulder history, but ignoring that who goes out?
I suspect Weitering might be overdue for a rest, I know the club thinks he's just starting to get some mojo happening with Casboult but one bloke in that pair is at the start of his career while the other is closer to the end!
I want Weitering developing a mojo with the next generation of players not the past generation, so I see no point in flogging him!

All the experts said the Cheating Scum would run our young side off their feet. WRONG, win.
All the experts said we were no chance against Syd posting odds of $4.40. WRONG, win.
All the experts said the Filth would be to strong for us, especially in the midfield, posting odds of $3.75. WRONG, win.
All the experts will say St Kilda will be too fast, too hard, too skilled and more advanced than us. Will they be wrong again?
Putting aside the belting from PA at Feral Oval and the horrible 5 minutes in the 3rd qtr vs GC (we conceded 4 goals then won the last qtr), I think we have been pretty good.
All I am saying is that if St Kilda think this will be a walk in the park? Think again.
Go Blues.

The Saints will no doubt be a very stiff test for us. They play a high pressure brand of footy that will be a challenge for sure but as the old saying goes, if they bleed we can kill 'em. Go Blues, this would be a fabulous one to win IMO.
Reality always wins in the end.

Very winnable.
They lost to WCE in Perth, just beat the Pies (14 pts), pumped by the Cats (45 odd)....beat Hawks and GWS recently.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

We like a bit of sting out of the track, Saints like it more firm, at Etihad we struggled vs the GC pace and I reckon it might be the same vs Stkilda...if it was at the MCG and a soft track I'd say we are a chance but Saints will start warm favourites and they seem to be a bogey team for us of recent years.
I think we will be more competitive than in the past but would love to see Reiwoldt rested and Hickey not playing.....
