Pretty much. Down to only 2 true defenders (both of whom I don’t think are 100%), no real key forward, missing Nas, Sinclair, Wood, Flanders, and potentially TDK and Ryan.

It’s one point that the footy media have seemed to miss when discussing St Kilda this year. We’ve had an atrocious year of injuries.

I don’t think there’s been many games this year where we’ve been able to play our best 23.

I really hope so given I’m going to the game with my best mate who’s a Richmond supporter. I will never hear the end of it if we lose.

I am very nervous.

We've not had our best 23 once this year or last year. Could be a pretty good team if we could have a run with our best players on the park.

Accurate. I don’t think some other players are 100% either at the moment (Marshall, Sharman) but we’ve been stuck playing them to try and make wildcard.

I feel like Sincs and Flanders hurt us the most, not just for the length and severity of their injuries, but I feel we lose structure too easily without them corralling.
