Weather isnt real flash Friday but I think we will go Pittonet and TDK which worked for our winning streak, last game playing one ruck and Harry vs GWS was a bit of a fail imho.
The wet doesn't suit TDK who wants to run and jump about and already struggles to hold his marks.
Can't see our MC just picking Pittonet though (even though i think for this week, with wet weather, it'd be the right thing to do IMO).

Harry would probably be more than capable of matching McClean and Amartey, or McDonald. However, that would mean that Tom would have to do more than his share and that would advantage Hickey.
It seems like the rain will have blown over before the game and I think that we'll go with two rucks. Pitto tends to play the same regardless of the conditions

You never know what could happen.
Could be another Essendon drugs saga that gets team knocked out of finals contention last minute.

Thought the same EB.....from all reports JSOS probably needs another week with that knee but if we were able to win on Friday night, I reckon he'd be in the frame for the following week.

The official injury update from the club on the 25th August ruled SIlvagni out for the first final, so his selection / non selection is a moot point IMO. The club is clearly moving forward with the Pittonet / De Koning combo, and I can't see the MC giving Silvagni a ruck gig if the first two are available, not even in the rain.

If our mids are switched on and take on the challenge our ruck issues won’t be a serious problem. I think at their best Geelong didn’t worry about the ruck abilities of their players. They would target their opposition mids and be happy to be second to the ball. I just hope the mids are going to turn on the heat. We have enough talent in this area. Especially if Cripps, Walsh, Cerra, Hollands are rested enough and ready to go. Hewett and Kennedy can give us enough strength with bigger bodies and consistent efforts while the previous four give us drive out of the clearances. Which is where this game should be won. Harry better play with some smarts. His best and worst games are way too far apart. He could potentially be our weakest link. Most dangerous forward but a problem if he isn’t doing the team needed role. I still can’t see us losing this. If we do, then I will be totally p#ssed. If we are a genuine threat this should be 20 to 30 points in our favour.
