Aaron Sandilands has booked the Fremantle swimming pool to soak his feet in over the weekend, with Ross Lyon giving the big bloke a couple of weeks off so he’ll still be up and about when they’re handing out Norm Smith medals. Fortunately for Fremantle they have a one ruckman per midfielder rule and Jon Griffin is ready to step into the fray to take on the best St Kilda can throw at him...which, let’s face it, is two thirds of bugger all so he won’t have much trouble getting up to speed. With that in mind, Fremantle have also decided to send Luke McPharlin and his dodgy ankle back in for another run, despite the use of defenders against the Saints being viewed by most sides as lairising. Matt deBoer and Matt Taberner will also get a run with Hayden Ballantyne having a rest courtesy of the gentlemen of the match review panel. Apeness and Clancee Pearce will be “rested”.
