The diving ducking cheat is back from suspension for his birthday.

We didn't entirely let St kilda's poisonous dwarf off the leash, so we'll do it with Norf instead

Though he is not listed as such Carrots looks to be still carrying an injury. If he is not 100% I would seriously consider omitting him for Graham.

Despite his 3 goals I would also replace Jeffy with Menzel.

Have to leave Hendo forward even though the backline is clearly diminished I think what he brings to the forward line more than compensates.

What about despite being in ALL Aus form for the first half of the year and leading our goal kicking by a fair way ?

Carrots out, Graham in.
We brought him back way too soon. One lack lustre performance in the VFL and his "reputation" gets him a game.
IMO we do this far too much.
If the kids are performing ... play them!!

Fair point. Who would have thought we'd be pessimistic about playing an 11th placed team like the Kangas.

Even had moments of worry before and during last nights game, and the Saints have had 3 wins for the season!

Shows how far the confidence of the average supporter has fallen, along with that of the players.

Yep. That's because unfortunately the boys have continually failed to deliver and dropped games they shouldn't time and again.

Lost count of how many times I've thought 'here we go this is it we are the real deal' only to get our pants pulled down.

I go in to every game having no idea what the boys will dish up.

I'll never be comfortable with a lead unless its over 50 points.
We've blown it too many times this year.

Plus North seem to be one of those thorns in our side, always struggle to beat this lot.

Not saying we can't beat them.....Just need to be switched on, remember last time we played, we started well in the first five or so minutes then North overran us. We were chasing the game after that.

We have a few of those unfortunately

Rinse...repeat.

Not wrong, leads to me don't mean a thing now unless it is a significant amount in the last quarter. Just think of the Essendon* game

North's Grand Final this week. Is the game worth going to?

They've been absolutely pasted in the media. Watch them respond.

Yep... Its the Pies game all over again.

I can see North belting us again on a Friday night at that revolting stadium located in the Docklands..........

Daw will come in and we have no match for him in.

This game must be coached to perfection. Although we won last week, that side will struggle against the Kanga's.

I'd actually bring in Hampson for this one, possibly for Carrots or one of Cachia/Curnow and use him either as a third tall if Waite doesn't come through or as a defensive hole filler.

I would've had him playing defensive all year. Pace, height, can't mark so well but could spoil and only needs to handball to someone who can kick.

Need to be 100% offensive with this game, throw the tag away.
