City will be full strength. 

Certainly close to, unless someone is carrying a niggling injury. If Western United don't win in Adelaide, City can do no worse than 2nd.

That guarantees the first week off, and final in Melbourne if they make it through. Sure they'd love to win Premiers Plate as well, but it's the GF winners that people remember.

The Glory have won the Premiers Plate, but losing the GF to SFC in Perth that season, is the abiding memory.

So if Western don't win in Adelaide (and Adelaide are going to be fired up to get a home playoff ie a win to finish 4th), Kisnorbo could still be tempted to rest anyone carrying a niggle against the Nix. See AU have had a nice week long break, whilst WU played midweek. 

Realistically City should still be too good anyway, especially if as expected Talay now rests Ball and a few others.
