They will be relying on Membrey to score their goals and we should have him well covered. I can't really see a match up for Lewis Young unless he takes Sharman, and Marshall if he goes forward.
The Saints defence will have a little height advantage over our forwards and Cripps spending time forward will negate that. I suspect that they will struggle with our unconventional forward set up and new found pinpoint passing inside 50. A lot will depend on Kemp straight lining the ball and plucking a few pack marks.
Forget about the Saints win over the Cats; that was an aberration. Their shellackings by Brisbane and Adelaide are more reliable indicators of where they're at as a footy team. you might want to check membreys record against us. He'll likely kick minimum 2 maximum 5 goals against us.
He's one of those players who just finds a way to score against us.

Memberey has historically been a bad match up for Weitering.

Fans have bad memories of The Aints, but the recent record since 2019 is only 50/50. Before 2019 they had a 5 year run, but often we only played them once a season.

I'd look at putting Cincotta on him. Basically the same height. We know Cincotta can wear players like a glove.
Allow Weitering and Young to play loose® on their sub-par opponents and zone off and help out cincotta

Membrey is a good contested mark, that's not Cincotta's strong area IMHO. Saints runners in Hill, Wanganeen Milera, Wilson, and Sinclair are players I would be spending time on.
Young playing loose would worry me, Saints don't have a player for him to match up on. Owens, Sharman, Higgins and Butler know where the goals are too and would all be too mobile for Young Imho.

Yep, Young doesn't have a matchup, but i'm not sure we have a matchup for Membrey. I reckon Cincotta is the best we've got. He is underrated on the spoil.
Ironically, Kemp would be ideal in defence this week, but after his efforts forward, i can't see him being moved.
Young could play more ruck this week and drift forward.

Other than Cerra and TDK - midfield is in tact and in pretty good form as a collective.
Not sure what Vossy and co will do but damn can anxiety levels be any higher?

Rather than contested marks, Membrey has the knack of losing his defender and marking unopposed. Stopping that is a team defence concern.
If we can get our team defence right, Young focuses on intercept marks and/or killing the ball in contested marking situations. Weitering then gets to concentrate on organising the defence and setting up our transition.
Our forward line, sans Charlie and Harry, is still far more potent than St Kilda’s.
Hill is a spent force but we do need to curtail Wanganeen-Milera’s run out of defence. The best way to do that is to make sure he’s got a genuine forward threat to worry about and Elijah Hollands can do that in spades. And that should be the key to the game; despite missing Charlie, Harry, Tom, Fog, et al, our 23 is better than their 23 … provided that we play to our potential.

Well we've done all we can do 
It's up to the players now.
Each week will be a greater challenge.
If they go all the way it will be the greatest of them all.
