St Kilda head west on the back of another close loss. The Saints showed fighting spirit to come from 26 points down in the last qtr to tie things up late in the game, only to be disappointed again and let the game slip away in the dying minutes. While the players were obviously gutted by the loss, they can take a lot of out pushing an undefeated North Melbourne.
West Coast on the other hand were deplorable away from home once again and they will be working hard to bounce back at their home ground.
Medical Room: Jack Sinclair was a late withdraw from the game with a corked thigh (replaced by Jack Lonie) and will more than likely return to the side
On The Chopping Block: No player was terrible in a tough game, but Jack Lonie and Darren Minchington would both be feeling the pressure after neither had a big influence on the game. Minchington was quiet for the third week in a row now with just 9 possessions while Lonie had just 8. Both applied good pressure throughout the game but neither got on the score board.
Gresham had just the 13 touches but showed improvement and seems to be growing in confidence.
Knocking On The Door
Jack Sinclair will likely slot straight back into the side after playing some really good football prior to his injury.
Paddy McCartin played higher up the ground then usual in the VFL game against Collingwood, he was a class above and raked in close to 15 marks as well as snagging a couple of sausage rolls. Tim Membrey was good again in the seniors but Richardson may decided to play the 3 talls up forward with Riewoldt playing high up the ground.
Eli Templeton continued his good form in the VFL with another 33 quality touches, he's proving to be a terrific VFL player but there are still question marks on whether he can take the next step in the big league.
Brodie Murdoch, who seems to be right on Richos radar was good once again, he's a terrific user of the football and you feel like he will get another shot at senior level sooner rather then later.
