Who matches up on Hogan you think? Brown? And Roberton/Gilbert on Watts or Carlisle? 

I reckon they'll double-team Hogan, he usually does well against them and kicked 7 in one of the games last year. I would say this is probably why Weideman was chosen, he takes one of those off Hogan and offers more on the deck than Spencer.

Saints team looks virtually full strength. We will need Hogan to kick a bag.

Need to stop Steven in the midfield and Membrey has destroyed us previously.

I'm more worried about Carlisle. He's put a bit of size and feel he'd outmuscle a Weid or a Watts too easily. Even going forward he'd cause some major headaches for us.

The saints look good on paper. I think we beat them if we play at the G. I think etihad tips thr scale in their favour.

I'm officially over the St Kilda hype. A win over them starts the Demons hype machine.

Teams are far more dangerous when they have a spread of 9-10+ goal-kickers, rather than a player kicking 6 or 7.

If you go back through the last 20 years every premiership team, save for Sydney in 2005, was in the top two for spread of goal-kickers.

Here is my tip for surprise matchup. Smith on Riewoldt.

If Nick plays on the wing you need a tall player with pace, who can stay with him.

Smith is quick, has some height and could be given the huge job to negate the champ.

i think so too - his leap makes up for his height vs roo

Pretty sure it's what she said. 

There's been a bit of mail floating around that some of our players are ahead of themselves and the Saints and Dees players might run in to each other a bit given a lot probably line in the inner bayside area. Aside from the overpriced boardshorts salesman I think most of our players have put in a decent preseason so I'm not too worried about it. 

I remember the same thing being said about the GWS players, they were sledging the opposition even when they were being caned on the field, I guess they knew where they were heading and I'm not concerned if our players are going out supremely confident they can win. It's a bit better than the last 10 years where they look like they are defeated before the siren sounds. Any you're right they probably have coffee at the same Brighton cafes.

Gawn got smashed by Hickey twice last year who kept illegally jumping into him. Maybe Spence can nullify Hickey and leave Gawn as a headache in the fwd line? 

I've noticed in a couple of games that Max moves aside or back and doesn't allow the opposition ruck to jump in to him, perhaps this will counter the Hickey tactic, Max has the height and if still on the ground the balance.

Th height difference between Nick and Joel is next to nothing. On my 15'' laptop monitor, from here to                           here.
