    Fisher is a good player and we need to make sure he is accountable.

    Along with Fisher, Gilbert is the other we need to pay close attention to down back. Is excellent at finding space and uses the ball well.

    Saints footy. Is that the flood/zone, then kick it to the Nickhead? If Rocket had Riewoldt at Sydney he would have won 3 flags and we would still have the uberflood.

    Gilbert and Fisher are half the players they are when they don't have their loose kicks out of defence being marked by Roo on a 80-metre lead to the boundary. Now they are just look like the aimless kicks to the boundary that they really are. And Milney won't have the freedom of Etihad with The Glove not having to run with Riewoldt.

    Griff to shut down Goddard a la '09 Prelim, game over. I think this will be a blow-out.

    My memory of the 09 prelim is Mitch playing on Goddard and being used when Goddard zoned off.

    Goddard did deliver the ball spot on for the 2 marks in the second half that resulted in goals.

    Dawson may not be worth a Zac but the Saints are very good at providing team defence, that was missing in the NAB Cup.

    We need to create space and time from the midfield for delivery of the ball AND we must use the free player, which is more likely to be Hahn, at least occasionally.

    This is an area we have not yet learned with Barry. I clearly remember, in the Hawthorn game, seeing Hahn opponent leave him to go to Hall and we still kick to Barry.

    Time to look, space to steady and vision plus skill execution.

    Disagree - the fear of playing on Barry would keep anyone awake, even those who work with Lyon

    We all thought the same against Richmond, but in reality Barry was double and triple teamed meaning he wasn't able to expose an inferior opponent.

    Let's hope that if St.Kilda employ similiar tactics we are able to spot up our free players... as suggested by Bulldog Joe a few posts back.

    As always Mantis you provide the level head. I will defend my post a little by saying that I did use the word should and not will

    at Docklands, and I thought they hadn't lost there for a long time.

    Edit: we beat them twice at Docklands in 2008
