Since Young has played we have kept WCE to four goals and St.Kilda to eleven, we have struggled against tall forwards all year, why would you not play him. McGovern is always a worry physically and Young can take the centre square rucking duties when required.To me Lord, Binns and Moir (as sub only) have earned their right to play. They are fit, unlike others we are likely to go and select. I only have 4 coming back, Harry, Charlie, Zac and Gov. I was blokes fit and in match condition, not misses a big chuck of the year with injury issues. West Coast won the 2018 GF with 6 of their best blokes out. What they did do was go in with a fit side that ran the game right out.
I think Moir, Lord, Binns and Owies won't play, hopefully McKay, McGovern, Curnow and Williams will play. Cerra, Docherty, Martin and TDK would have to demonstrate they can get through a game. Boyd won't be ready for a couple of weeks I believe.
Not playing a bloke that has had 3 knee recos and not played since March, especially in a final, as good as Doc is. The fact he has done 3 makes me think he can be susceptible, especially with just 6 months off. Might be exciting that he might be ready but one needs to be practical. Be absolute hell to pay if he did it again. Too risky.
