Blakey looks Tilt like but gets the job done.Hickey was beaten by Gawn last week, and flogged by Obrien and Witts in the preceding weeks if thats the best footy of his career then we can probably rest easy.
Add to that, Hickey is playing perhaps the best footy of his career, not surprising given the coaches own credentials.
No team has a certain match up for Heeney.
We will need our mediums and smalls to stand up, but it's not going to be light work. The best way to deal with Gulden and Papley is to make sure they don't get much of the footy.
Blakey and McCartin dont match up well against Charlie and Harry at all imho.....both are undersized and given its at the MCG on a bigger ground wont be getting much help from their teammates.
Id play Newman on Heeney......he might be due like Rohan was for Geelong last season but he has been very ordinary in his previous finals series. I just cant see us losing to the Swans unless they get lucky like they did vs Adelaide and have the goal umpires working for them, the karma bus should dictate they lose after lucking their way in.
