If Big Ben doesnt play...

Got to say I really feel for the big guy.

The goal he kicked in the prelim helped to kick start us.

Tough to drop him.

It wouldn't have been an easy decision.

I couldn't believe the space and time the Bulldogs gave him for that goal - and the space our team enjoyed in the second half.

There will be very little space and time to operate in today - it's about St Kilda giving itself the best chance - and I trust RL's thinking that we need more mid sized players.

I think knob jockeys the calibre of Mark Blake are rare (King's behaviour didn't sound all the flash either, to be honest), hope he will take it on the chin and reload for 2011...can't imagine the club wanting him to go anywhere.

If Gram doesn't play - I would expect Geary to come in and therefore for RL to stick to the plan of playing more mids.

So I feel sorry for Ben - but happy to trust RL.
