Unfortunately for us at the moment, it's contest or bust. This may be a good thing in the final, if the wet weather makes the ball and surface slippery. I think a slow moving slog with contest after contest would work in our favour.
People are putting the horse before the cart.
Complaining we are scoring too much from stoppages than anyone else and than what is normal.
This is true.
But when you are #1 in stoppages, of course you will get more chances from stoppages.

The way Vossy has team defence structured up when out of possession makes it hard for the opposition to "sling shot" from the back half and makes it hard for us to transition unless we run in waves through the middle.
Collingwood failed miserably playing fast attacking football they literally got beaten up in the contest.
If we miss Acres thats going to be a blow because he rarely ever loses his one on one battles on the wing.

As was discussed at the time, there only so many ways that you can score. If you win the clearances and score from them, scores from other game phases will be down.
If we win the stoppages and continue to score from clearances at the same rate, we win the game.

So it's confirmed, Pitto will play this week, https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/09/06/blues-confirm-at-least-one-change-for-elimination-final-acres-locked-in/
Looks like 4 changes with Doc, Crippa and most likely Mots also getting a gig. Good news also with Acres passing a fitness test and set to play.
I'm guessing Cincotta for Doc, Dow for Crippa, Durds for Mots, who comes out for Pitto I have no idea.
Dow to replace Marchy as sub?
Re: AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney - DJC - 09-07-2023
I'd go with:
B: Kemp, Weitering, Newman
HB: Saad, McGovern, Docherty

HF: Martin, McKay, De Koning
F: Owies, C Curnow, Motlop
Fol: Pittonet, Hewett, Cerra
I/C: Walsh, Cottrell, Cincotta, Cuningham
Emerg(sub): Fogarty, Dow, Marchbank

That's pretty much as good as it gets.
Dow the sub, and Fogarty very unlucky.
There was a rumour floating around earlier this week that McGovern had some kind of facial injury...seems it might have been just a facebook speccy...but Marchbank would be reasonable cover in that situation.

I was looking for Newmans name, and Im assuming that he is the other Mcgovern.

Yes, one of the Guvs is actually a heavily disguised Newy :-[
Re: AFL Elimination Final 1 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Sydney - Lods - 09-07-2023
I obviously didn't look at in depth either. You just assume some players like Newman are there and look at the fringe selections. ;D
