St.Kilda to win by a few goals.
Would have picked the Saints prior to the Shaw and Didak incident anyway due to the recent form of both teams....I know the Saints lost to the Eagles but it was at Subi where we have a poor record and we poor against Port for three quarters....BUT...Saints have found a way to win whilst not being at their best, have had some good come from behind wins and won 5 of their last 6.
Reiwoldt has found form, arguably the best captain going around ATM and Harvey's retirement adds more motivation if any were needed. Max is back in which adds volumes to the defence and the St.Kilda faithful will turn out in their thousands to negate the Pies' army....or so I'm hoping.

Saints are in odd form but Collingwood are in Bad form. Thus the Saints will win.

Collingwood by 87 points.
Justification of prediction: St Kilda shattered with announcement of Harveys retirement (as a result of him retiring too early) and Collingwood will make Geelong look like Carlton of yesteryear courtesy of retaliation binge drinking in light of Didak and Shaws suspensions which will aid their performance like a good drug does...

My Mighty Sainters to get a big win and still be in the hunt for the top 4. CARN SAINTERS!!!
Luke Ball will be sorely missed but with the inclusion of Maxy Hudgeton our defence will be a brick wall.

Too many team changes to predict how they'll perform. Hard to pick a team with 5 changes. Why did we drop Wellingham? He hasn't been great but I would have thought we'd need his run, and would be looking to get as many games into him as we can? He's been named as an emergency ... I wonder if Leon is fit?

I agree with the Wellingham comment. Can't see why we should drop a bloke with a bit of pace but looking at how Davis performed last week I would say he could very well be doubtful.

Max back is the key, he would have to be in the Saints top 3 most important players. The moment he went down in Perth the wheels fell off, and the D became shakey. Didak and Shaw are too important for the Pies, plus 2-3 debutants? Saints did it and won, but Collingwood are missing too many stars. Saints should win by 3-5 goals.

The Harvey factor may be important in the outcome, but...
The MAG-uires are specialist at winning games they have no right to win. They may have even done the side a favour by dumping Didak and getting rid of some of the bad blood between some players (Didak and Medhurst inparticular). Heath Shaw hasn't been at his best for weeks and won't be that badly missed.
On the other hand, Saints are specialist at losing game they have no right to lose.

The big question for my supercoach is will Medhurst go off like a frog in a sock? No Didak to make him unhappy....
It's down to Medhurst or S.Johnson.

Johnson for sure when he's playing the Demons this week, and generally is in a team that is going much better.

Yea that's what i'm thinking. Probably more consistent than Medhurst too.

With all the problems Collingwood had during the week it will be hard to overlook, "Good old Collingwood" It won the first race at Wagga today.

Yeah, but Sharrod's already done his time. Why should he get a double-whammy because someone else stuffed up? Unless you mean Wellingham gets the ball and runs straight at the goals - something that is at odds with the Malthouse game plan? So we pick guys like Toovey, Stanley and Cook who get the ball, stop, prop, look behind and give a handball to a player standing still, or kick the ball to the boundary line?

1 flag each in the past 50 years. This is just another meaningless game between two tragic clubs.
