Lipinski way too lucky in my mind.

Ginny has to be there.

Noble as sub.

They will tinker with the line up.

Markov on the wing.

Mitchell start on ball with JDG.

Gotta be happy any time Donlan and Stevic aren’t umpiring

I'd love Ginni in the 22 and stalking the packs inside f50 but who goes out?

Our forward group needs to lift as the individuals involved can be inconsistent and the gap between their best and worst is noticeable.

Umps:

meredith concerns me.

rosebury is an old hand at these prelims and gfs.

Rosebury umpired our 2010 gf win along with the 2018 prelim win.

So he has got a good hand on it.

Meredith on the other hand.

No surprises with team selection.

Will Ginnivan be the sub?

Already confirmed

Squad pretty much what everyone thought. Adams injury made the tough decision easy for the match committee.

I reckon Noble is a better sub. Ginni does inspire as a sub. If we lose a runner early, it makes us need to reshuffle to accommodate Ginni.

Some Toby Greene stats v Pies:

Played 10 games

Averages ~1 goal/game*

Has never kicked a goal against us in a final (sample size of one, think he was carrying an injury from memory)

*Mind you, 5 of them were in 1 game

Thanks.

Pretty much what I anticipated.

I would have liked to see McCreery or Hoskin-Elliott as sub rather than Ginnivan, but otherwise a really strong line-up and as expected. Go Pies!

Only one more sleep now.It seems like an eternity since we played Melbourne in the qualifying final.I have a feeling tomorrow’s going to drag on as well before the game finally starts.
