bit like that, this games beens a bot left behind in relevance now.

I reckon there are a few Dockers players who may be pulled out on Sunday depending on the conditions. Mcpharlin, Pavlich and Mundy may not be risked if the weather turns bad and the game is physical. Peel might be a bit depleted I reckon because a few may be held out just in case.

Looks like only 40% chance of rain and that will be later in the day so should be good conditions for most of the game. A win will all but sew up top spot for Fremantle. Maybe they will then start rotating key players over the last 3 games. They would still like to be going into finals in winning form so I can't see Lyon sending over a Peel Thunder team to Adelaide for the last game, however he may decide to give Pavlich and McPharlin that game off in preparation for the first final.

Gee the Saints supporters sure do hate Lyon. Gave it to him all day the mob around where we were sitting.

Contrasts sharply with the heros welcome that Mark Harvey got from the Dockers fans when he came back as Assistant Coach of Brisbane. I suppose there is still resentment with some people about the circumstances in which Lyon left the Saints.

Pity that the Toasters have a couple of ordinary players unavailable, I guess that will give them some excuse when they lose.

SPOT ON A'man, was the first 10 minutes by an ordinary side.
