Yes definitely. But at this writing, we will be without Martin and McKay, Acres' left shoulder looked very iffy at the end, Silvagni is no certainty to return. There's talk that Grundy will be brought back (possibly at McDonald's expense). Their midfield can definitely match it with ours. They were IMO the better team for 3q against the Pies. Their forward line is a real issue. The Round So Far* showed a graphic of the last 3 finals the Demons have played : in total in those games, they are +41 I50's, +58 contested possessions, +13 clearances, +17 shots on goal, and -42 on the scoreboard. They will be a very tough opponent, and we wil be hoping their goal kicking woes continue, because everything else appears to be in very good order.
