In his BPL Vidcast this week, former North Melbourne premiership captain Wayne Carey examines the first weekend of finals - and reckons the Magpies have yet to regain their lustre from earlier in the season and are looking beatable. Only a lack of poise and experience stopped West Coast from causing a massive upset on Saturday - and the work of Collingwood back pocket Leon Davis in the first half. Carey says Buddy Franklin had fluid drained from his damaged knee over the weekend - and describes the sensation of that particular procedure - but reckons Hawthorn might struggle to post a winning score without him on Friday night against Sydney. Carey is leaning towards the two non-Victorian sides, Sydney and West Coast, in this weekend's two semi-finals. And in a tribute to Sydney's Adam Goodes, who plays his 300th game on Friday, Carey said he doubted whether any player in the history of the game had reached that milestone in the sort of form that Goodes is in at the moment.
