[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Winning this will guarantee finals...

If big boy is ready , then out Nash for him.

Out 1st and last

 

[Nugett]

In 2nd and 3rd quarters
Out 1st and last

*edit*. Percentage booster to play starring role

 

[caseman2]

Out Pittonet
In Roughead

If big boy is ready , then out Nash for him.

Disagree - Pitto was very very solid tonight and worked great with Cegs.
Nash to make way for Rough and Rough doesn't have to ruck.

 

[HedgeFund]

In: Roughead, McEvoy, the double chance
Out: Nash, Pittonet, the doubters

 

[MrPremiership]

Only way we lose this is if we come off the high from the Cats win....AND the Saints dig in after their horror year.

In reality, we really should make a mess of the Saints and guarantee a top 8 spot, and start sniffing for top 4

 

[rdhopkins2]

Saints are a terrible team. As always, we can’t be complacent after an important win.

 

[caliente]

Watching the Saints on Friday night - this should comfortably be a percentage boosting win - but can never get complacent as we have shown our ability to utensil up games against bottom of the ladder squads - Pitto would be stiff to be out. Changes should be made for best team structure only

 

[KermitJagger]

I'd just like to get in before Shakespeare announces it as a danger game

Slightly.

 

[hfc70]

If we lose to the Saints - we don’t deserve to play finals.

End of story

Same could be said about the Lions but here we are.

Same could be said about the Lions but here we are.

Nup same could not be said about the Lions, who are a far more competitive unit (well coached obviously) than St Kilda. One loss to Brisbane would’ve been ok. Two is a pain in the arse.

Saints are completely shot, and we should belt them.

I guess my point is that outside of us they have only beaten Freo and the Blues, two teams who are hardly finals bound. Losing to a lowly side doesn’t matter if you win enough games.

 

[Davo-27]

IN: McEvoy, Roughead

OUT: Pittonet, Nash

Should be an easy win, then we can sit back and see what the other results mean for our finals positioning.

 

[Ranj Sri Lanka]

I felt for once after a long time we were fast vs Cats today and they were really slow. Brand, Hendo and another could be replaced with Ruff, Howe and Sicily once they are back.

 

[PhatHQ]

One change.
Rough to come in for Nash.

I think it was worth having another look at Pitto as the starting ruck. There is something there that screams big stage just waiting to come out.

Nash was ok & im sure he & his family thoroughly enjoyed the day. Has a taste & can hit the pre season hard.

 

[UAWM]

Sicily or BB a chance to return?

I heard that the cats were sounding him out a while ago but then again, they were doing that and more for Sicily two years a go and we know how that turned out.

 

[ChinaTim]

In: Roughead, Birchall
Out: Nash, Pittonet (both unlucky)

 

[Cyril says]

In: Birch, Ciz (emergency)
Out: Nash
