The Friday match already has 5 players out, due to Covid protocols.
Could be more, by game time.

"FRIDAY night's clash between the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda is the closest thing you can get to an elimination final outside of September.
Both the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda sit just outside the top eight, and a loss for either side decreases their finals chance enormously."

"Gun midfielder Bailey Smith returns from suspension, and could be crucial in helping the Bulldogs bounce back after two disappointing losses to the Swans and Brisbane, while forward forward Josh Bruce is making his return after missing almost a year through injury.
But it's not all good news for the Dogs, with Josh Schache, Lachie Hunter and Aaron Naughton all sidelined due to health and safety protocols.
Marcus Windhager and Seb Ross will also be out of action due to health and safety protocols."

St Kilda is now officially defunct for 2022. They can't recover from such a shellacking. Just no ability to fight for contested ball and apply pressure tonight.
One less competitor for Top 8, but unfortunately the Bulldogs are still hanging around, and they are much more to be feared than StKilda.

St Kilda are not good enough. Capable of producing a great performance, but too inconsistent to play finals.
Bulldogs have a tough run ahead with Melbourne, Geelong and Fremantle still to come.

I am glad to become aware of that. I want the Bulldogs to be eliminated from the picture, because I see them as a lurking danger.
