St Kilda next week.

[Macjoe]

They have to be apprehensive, don't they?

 

[Deaneus!]

Saints next week.

If we play like we did tonight, we are every chance to beat the Saints next week - if that had been the Saints tonight, we'd have won.

Why?

Makes no difference to us if we win or lose.

 

[TDRP]

We gotta atleast go down swinging and I have a feeling we will... so yeah... for that reason they should be aprehensive.

Makes no difference to us if we win or lose.

Confidence and belief these days obviously mean nothing then.

You want to go into the finals losing to a team not in the finals? Okay.

 

[PCORF]

All the times St Kilda have beaten us at Footy Park all games have been at night. We haven't beaten St Kilda at home since 2003, our last day home game vs St Kilda.

McLeod will play and we are going to win next week ..... we have to. Its a must to give us confidence going into 2011.

St Kilda already have a date with Geelong in their first final, I wouldnt be surprised if the Saints rest a few players next week. Will be another big lesson for our young guys and their development

Doesn't look like their resting anyone, in fact it looks like they'll have their best 22 on the park!!!

ST KILDA will load up its team with the best possible 22 players for a finals preview in Adelaide on Saturday afternoon.
Coach Ross Lyon said today midfielders Lenny Hayes and Clint Jones, ruckman Michael Gardiner and key defender Zac Dawson would return for the last home-and-away game against the Crows.
While the Saints coach won’t flirt as form like Fremantle did as the travelling team last weekend, he said he wouldn’t hesitate to leave at home any sore player.
"I know it's on the radar for everyone. Certainly, Lenny was one we could've pushed through the week before. And Clint Jones and a couple of others,’’ Lyon said before a closed training session at Moorabbin.

Lyon said a tough assignment against the Crows was an ideal hitout to condition his players to finals-type pressure and expectations.
"I went and watched Adelaide and they were really impressive on Saturday night. A lot of enthusiasm, obviously they want a scalp after four close losses.
"You can see the frustration and there's the farewell to (Andrew) McLeod and (Simon) Goodwin and (Brett) Burton also. So the emotion will be riding high and it's always tough over there,’’ he said.
"So it's probably the perfect prelude to finals, a high-tempo intense game of footy and they play a really strong team defence and also working their way through Collingwood's zone. There's some really good challenges which should bring us to a sharp edge coming into the finals.
"Therefore we want our best 22 available, but if someone does need the week (off) and we think they'll benefit, we'll make that decision.’’

At least there's respect then

Kinda sum the history of St Kilda up really doesn't it

but in all honesty, why would they be? they should smash us out of the park.

All we can do it to do our bit to ensure that they don't win the flag.

it also says they won't hesitate to rest any sore players...isn't that what Fremantle did.

Schneider had a very bad corkie. So he is a likely out.

However Hayes, CJ, Gardiner and Zac will all be in...with Eddy also a possible return after breaking his hand.
