Always Right Match Committee - Round 1 of the finals vs Eagles or Saints

[Axe Man]

What’s chances of Bevo playing Gowers and Wally out (injury worse than club has been letting in). Gee I hope this sinking feeling I’ve got is wrong.

I'm not sure what the point of that would be. I'm pretty sure closed training sessions aren't possible on the Gold Coast so St Kilda would be fully aware if Mitch didn't look right.

I am dreading this game.

I am dreading this game.

Why? No worse than a 50/50 game.

That is one fascinating set of emergencies for a host of reasons.

I hope your right Axe Man.

Hopefully a convincing performance to put your demons to rest.

You know you really shouldn't have Demons about playing Saints

They have certainly covered Naughton and Wallis in case there is a late problem

I'm not underestimating the Saints because they have been excellent but we have hit our straps and I really like our chances

Compare the two midfields. They're pretty thin there, especially for inside guys.
I'm confident too. Still 9 premiership players in the side.

I like our chances. No stone left unturned in our preparation I am sure. We are in our best form for the year. Let's Go Dogs!

For what it’s worth there have been plenty of photos of Wally and he looked quite happy in them. He’d have to be a fantastic actor if he were going to miss as he’d be devastated after having missed finals in 16 and 19.

We should've made five changes imo.

Yes the nervous are kicking in

I tried to explain it in my "I hate this matchup" thread...

I don't like the way we match up with the Saints. I know that in theory we could win...I just don't think we will. Honestly, I would rather play West Coast or Geelong or Brisbane or even Richmond than the Saints. Our zoning style of defense doesn't work vs them. We have an amazing ability to let outside mid/forward types (and the Saints have a billion of them) to have 25 possession + 3-goal games...

Oh yeah. And our effort in games when we are playing the 'top' sides has been pretty much immaculate. Versus the mid rangers who the players think we are better than? Not so much...

Like I said, I am dreading it. I don't want to be a downer on everyone btw (and usually try not to be) but this game does not have me excited to strap myself in to watch it...
