Paul Chapman - Yes
Jobe Watson - No, why would they risk him?
Hayden Ballintine - No, too many other ins IMO
Jimmy Bartell - Yes
Gary Ablett - Yes
Colin Slyvia - Maybe
Ryan Okeefe - Yes
Aaron Sanderlands - Yes
Luke Hodge - Maybe/No, Hodge a tough nut
Matthew Pavlich - Yes

Where has this Jobe Watson crap come from? Is he injured?
If its just for a rest - don't forget that resting players the round before the finals can have a negative impact on the team balance. I think the time for giving the general rest has long gone.

OK, update, just found this article - http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/watson-in-doubt-for-dogs-clash/story-e6frf9jf-1225909515191
Still think he'll play though.

He's been injured half the year... I think he'll miss.
