Hope Motlop is the sub.
Looking good.
Can't understand why we would go with Marchbank, lost a lot of run out of the side.

I've always been a wrap for Marchbank. But i reckon he is pretty lucky to getting a gig this week as it hurts our team balance, as does 2 rucks.
That being said. If we believe Marchbank is good enough to be picked in our finals side, why haven't we signed him up for next year yet?

Marchbank is our 7th defender.

Let TDK ruck for 20 mins a quarter and H can relieve him. The ball is going to be mostly on the ground. Pitonet will be a liability.
Despite my hopes to the contrary, we saw against GWS that Harry can’t ruck.
The Swans have named one genuine ruckman, one very capable ruck/forward, and two competent part-timers. We’d be crazy to go in with just one ruck.

We have to go with 7 defenders. Doc will play in the midfield and Marchy will be needed against the Swans’ very tall forward line. They’ve effectively gone with one ruck and three ruck/forwards.

Well I never would have picked Marchbank in a million years, too slow and will cost us I reckon. We'll see in a little over 24hrs.

Not too slow for the Swans’ ruck/forwards.
They’ll stretch us, regardless of the weather, but we’ll have an advantage when the ball hits the ground.
Blues by 5 goals.

Coll vs Melbourne showing you need quick contested players not an overly tall lineup that flounder in the wet. Playing too many talls isn't the smart way to go imo.
