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.

Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

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.

WBD name an unchanged lineup for the 2020 Elimination Final
The last time WBD played with an unchanged lineup was the 2019 Elimination Final

We should've made five changes imo.

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...
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.
