Riewoldt

[Invigoration]

Based on what?
Josh Gibson will play AFL this week, meaning he would have managed to resume playing football (VFL intensity isn't to be scoffed at) 4 weeks earlier than Riewoldt, so Roo has effectively had an extra 4 weeks to make sure he is truly right to go.

Riewoldt obviously has the benefit of not needing to resume in the VFL either. There's no reason why he won't be back playing against us (assuming he hasn't reinjured it already of course).

I'd be surprised if the Aints decided to play Riewoldt this week in Brisbane, as everyone knows the surface is like concrete.

They would much rather bring him back on a surface with no real problems, at the MCG, before taking him to Etihad where if he reinjures himself, it will be there.

I hope he makes his return against us, no chance of him being anywhere near 100% both in fitness and "touch", so we could just play Presti on him and let Presti knaw away at him all night.

Doesn't really concern me, watching Geelong and StKilda the last few weeks, they are "beatable", which they simply weren't last year. (except when they faced each other).

We only have to win one of the "big ones" leading into the finals, and oh boy how we would love it to be against these scum on Saturday week at the G in front of 75k.
