jungle Muffin I totally agree with you lets face it St Kilda are saying goodbye to some of their stalwarts of the last decade and will throw everything at us including the Kitchen Sink for the win .
The last thing we want is Clarke or Sandi to be injured as we don't have a replacement for them all our reserves have been used.
In saying that Sandi needs a run so I would say Clarke out and Hannath gets another game .
Mundy ,Hill , Barlow , D. Pearce and Fyfe are not any sorer than anybody else ,with the hamstring tightness for Suban we will be resting one already so Crozier can come in for him and Clancie can give Barlow a rest .
Mellington can replace Ballas or Walters depending on Walters knee or ballas shoulder .
So for those that want to temp fate ,what would you suggest .
Mcpharlin needs to prove that his body is right for finals but again watching him training after every one else but Clancie and Simpson had left the track he was only doing straight runs from goal line to goal line so he has a lot of boxes to tick before he will pull on a jumper or jump on a plane to anywhere and Ibbotson was not in any condition to even carry his bags to his car .
The finals start in 2 weeks and short of a miracle we will travel the first week so lets accept that as a given .
The Saints game is just to mark time and see how some of the guys pushing from the WAFL are tracking .
The outs should be Suban , Clarke , Ballas, Walters , Barlow
The ins should be Clancie , Sandi , Crozier , Mellington , Schloithe(Michie 's replacement)
