Its going to be Pittonet and TDK, or TDK and Harry doing the ruck imo...the weather will probably dictate which combo and its going to come down to the midfields and who dominates contested possies at clearances.
Dont think any of the rucks will be able to dominate and you will need as many contested style mids as you can muster because its going to be rough and ready at the stoppages given the Swans tend to run a few tags with Mills, Parker and Rowbottom hanging off the opposing key mids at most stoppages.
I know its irrelevant with Jack unavailable but being able to use him as that extra big mid as well as contest the ruck duels would have been handy given the conditions. Agree with Krud on Kennedy, with Jack out I like the options Kennedy can give you down forward and around the ball given Cripps will probably have a variety of players tagging him hard and I think our other mids like Cerra, Hewett and Walsh will need to be at their best which I think they will given we have a deeper set of mids imho and will come home a bit harder than the Swans.
