The Centre Half Back (saints) v Centre Half Forward (Carlton) battle could have a big bearing on this game. ;D
A real battle of the giants.
Hopefully Jaggas extra height is enough to win out over Hill and he can kick a bag.

(I reckon they have a little bet going where they compile the team sheets, for most outrageous positional pick of the week) ;D  ;D

They are all mates.  TDK took the money and ran like anyone would have.

JSOS as much as I call him Judas, and it started with the whole Caminitti thing before he walked, is mates with most of our mob, and will play a decent game, and they will all get on.

Face it, we care a lot more than the players do, which is part of the issue.

I think that will be the case with DeKoning.
I'm not sure it's the same with Silvagni.
It'll be interesting to see the interaction with our players both during and after the game.

It’s behind a paywall but there’s an article in the Hun pointing out that TDK is well down on 2025 form and is ranked 25th or thereabouts as a ruckman.  That’s a way below Marshall.

Extra inspiration for Tom on Saturday?

It'll be interesting...
I'm not sure he'll have the same incentive to 'lift' as someone who felt the club had treated him badly...someone with a point to prove.
His team-mates would know that given the same opportunity they would have jumped at the offer.

Will there be a different response from players towards Jack?
Whatever you may think about his decision to leave he's always a 100% player on field.
His matchup will be interesting.


It probably goes without saying that there will be a bit of crowd involvement.
How will that affect the players.
