It is a very interesting decision especially now the Saints are playing Geelong. I think, he will. due to the talls . They need him to at least be on the interchange. If you agree- whom does he replace?

    Tough call. Would have to feel for Zac but I'd do it.

    In: Hudghton

    Out: Eddy

    I agree with enforcer. Hudghton in for Eddy would be the logical choice i think.

    I'm sure Eddy performed a role for the team, but he only had 4 touches.

    Hardly irreplaceable.

    On what basis would Dawson be dropped? Dawson's position in the side ever being anything less than certain is a figment of the media's imagination and Lyon said as much yesterday.

    The Saints have been playing brilliantly without Hudghton all year so unless there is any pressing need to replace someone I don't see what all the fuss is about. With Dawson, Blake, Fisher, Gilbert & Goddard all back there its not as if they are pressed for height, they probably have the tallest backline in the comp as it is. Everyone is carrying on as if its Hudghton's god given right to play in the GF, tough luck for him I say.

    yup, eddy for max, if you compare eddy's stats to his game before against the pies ( 8 disposals and 7 tackles - 4 disposals and 1 tackle), he should be a certainty to be dropped. As well with ottens pinch hitting up forward, the sainters will need the extra big man and it would be a great story if the saints can get up with maxy.

    I think Max is miles ahead of Dawson, and can see the Daws embarrassing himself on Saturday but there's no way you can drop him now

  • Quote

    Did he embarrass himself last weekend? He was great against the dogs. Looks like he handles pressure well. There is no way Dawson will be dropped unless he manages to injure himself during the week (or is caught having a drug-fueled orgy with midget transvestite hookers).

    As for Hudghton, if his form warrants and there is a need for an extra tall defender (there may well be) then he should play. If not, then he shouldn't. Simple enough.

    Reckon there was any truth in the Goddard injury?

    On SEN they said Goddard grabbed his left Hammy, had one more kick then went in the rooms.

    personally I think that was just him beign a smart arse.

    No game for Hudghton for me as he is probably past it, has been struggling with form and consistency and would get carved up, in my opinion.

    He's a bit slow, not a tall or short fast type and wouldn't add a great deal other than experience.

    The latter is the only reason you would play him.

    In saying that, I wont be surprised if he is picked as I heard a player from last w/e is out, and not due to an injury!!!

    Tough call to make by Lyon!

    Isn't your quote a little 2 bob each way

  • Quote

    Yes it probably is a bit JCB31.

    I wouldn't pick him, but, wont be surprised if Lyon does, from what I have heard.

    At least we will know tonight-Any last predictions?

    Dawson is going nowhere.

    The only position available in St Kilda's 22 is Eddy's. Hudghton is a chance. But so are Dempster and Geary, who have had better games as a part of St Kilda in 2009 than Max has.

    If Max plays, it would be only because Geelong has a few tall forwards. It wouldn't be on the basis of good form, which is a good enough reason to not play him.

    No change for mine.

    Do not change a winning side, that has won all year.

    Bad luck Max, that's life. Same thing happened to Ross Oakley in '66

    & he survived.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
