St Kilda coach Alan Richardson knows his AFL side will need a fair bit of luck to scrape into the finals.But the long shot will suddenly become a lot more realistic if the Saints defeat North Melbourne on Saturday night.St Kilda pipped Western Bulldogs by 15 points in round 18, posting three wins on the trot for the first time under Richardson.They now sit two games below eight-placed North on the ladder but have an ideal chance to bridge that gap at Etihad Stadium in round 19.Its a conversation weve already had, albeit a short one after the game, about the opportunity that presents itself this week, Richardson said.An opportunity to stay in this fight as long as we can.Its going to be exciting .. they want to be in this space and this conversation.We acknowledge we still need a fair bit of luck but all we can do now is really control what we can control.Richardson was impressed with the way his players handled a week of their finals hopes being talked up by some pundits.For obvious reasons theres been a bit of noise this week. Really positive noise, he said.It was good for all of us to sit back and watch how the guys coped with that ... they embraced the challenge.However Richardson wasnt getting carried with his sides recent form.We know its a long shot. We know that we need other teams or another team to potentially not win a lot of games of footy, he said.And they (North) did a really good job (in beating Collingwood by 40 points).

No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. England coach Wayne Bennett has confirmed James Graham will be fit to face Australia in Sundays must-win Four Nations clash with Australia.Canterbury skipper Graham sat out the win against Scotland last Saturday due to a medial ligament injury and there were doubts he wouldnt be fit to play in the London Olympic Stadium encounter on Sunday (Monday 0100 AEDT).Hell play, Bennett said.Its important to have him back, hes brings a lot. Hell be good for us.Bennett is also likely to restore St George Illawarras Gareth Widdop to the side after leaving the five-eighth out of the Scotland game.Hes experienced and played 20-odd Tests as well, he said.That brings a lot to the team, that is part of the decision I have to make.Widdops omission in favour of rookie Luke Gale did raise some eyebrows but Bennett insists it wasnt a decision he took because of the loss to New Zealand in Huddersfield in his sides tournament opener.It wasnt about form it was aboutt giving other players opportunities to play and try and make the most of their month, he said.dddddddddddd.Theyve all had a game now and that is important to me.An England or Great Britain side havent beaten Australia since their memorable victory in Sydney 10 years ago and even if they do prevail against the Kangaroos it still may not be enough to reach the final on November 20.New Zealand play Scotland in Workington on Friday and if the Kiwis run up a huge score it could require England to chase points to better New Zealands points differential.But Bennett insists that scenario is not one he or his players can think about.Weve got to win the game, he said.It is pretty screwed up thinking (otherwise). Theyve got their hands full trying to beat Australia and not worrying about how many points they have to win by. ' ' '
