Ash Close gets a run if Darcy isn't interested, but I reckon Darcy will be keen. Great competitor and chance to go the rare flag triple combo (U18, VFL, AFL... Yes calling it early we will win the flag next year).

Lachie Wallace local Franga team in a 2nd Semi this week so gets a run with them so he can have next week available with us.

Gus & Gray just unlucky.

[John Wren]

wallace is a lock.

[Rizzo32]

I do hope you're right gents, however 2 of his 6 PFL games have been against 2nd Semi opponent, top of the table Mt Eliza, who have a VanUnen whose booted 100 for the season.

My guess is Lach may be required elsewhere to get them through to the GF and the week off next week, where he can then make a reappearance with us for our Prelim.

Gees that kid Viola shows something. Lovely reader of the high ball and brave. Wallace was superb on Sunday. I hope we play Close even if Moore comes in. There is still room for him if we run a ruckman off the bench. Means Karnezis can spend time in the middle and Close can play third tall forward behind Still and Moore. I hope many of the St.Kilda players that are qualified are booked in for surgeries this week. Let's hope we don't rest anyone.

23 degrees forecast for sunday.
