On the contrary, I think this signals we think we cant play with the two big rucks. You cant base your team selection on the off chance one player goes down? That's not realistic.

Or it reinforces that we think the two-ruck set up is our preference for finals and we want to make sure Pitto is cherry ripe.q

If that's the case he would be (rested). As I said in the previous post, you cannot fit a resting ruck in a forwardline that already has Charlie and Harry unless it's Jack. We need that extra small applying the heat. That's our DNA.

Clever, One for the tradies

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

No ruck support. Whose taking Pittos minutes or will he be sub and ruck the second half.

Pittonet will play
Must be another withdrawn

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

I think Harry would ruck more competently than Jack. I'd have Jack back in in a heartbeat but given he's not back in, Pitto has been dropped on balance. Or that's the way I see it anyway. There's no room for a resting ruck in a forwardline that already has Harry and Charlie. Unless it's Jack who is a natural forward. We are best with an extra small like Fog cracking in at the tackling. Means a whole lot more than having two rucks. And Pittonet is pretty much useless in every position bar ruck.

Great post, it just leaves us exposed if TDK gets injured or needs a rest, for that would be happier if Jack or Young were playing as I don’t want Harry taking centre bounces

 

[Aphrodite]

So what happens if TDK goes down early?

We are not structuring our side this way in a final, so it is clearly a rest for Pitto.

Oh no you don’t!

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

Guys we are one game away from finals with no further reserves matches to come. It's clear as day if you are fit this week and not picked, and you are not Cripps or Docherty, you are secondary in the minds of the MC.

l would suggest Pitto has some question marks right now, reckon JSOS would be ahead of him if fit.

 

[Blue Reaper]

Driving down tomorrow for the game with two junior Mr BRs. Can’t wait.

Let’s see what happens when a Giant bumps into a Bluebagger.

Ed wasn't even named in the emergencies last night (out) and now he is

Pretty simple really.
Cripps out of the squad and Ed in

 

[berisha]

Happy with the omission of Pittonet (not so much the lack of a backup), don't think he's in our best 22 as he offers virtually nothing outside of centre bounces

I would not draw that conclusion.

 

[haveago]

I am surprised Kennedy is not at least an emergency. Tipping he is not right yet

 

[jj1978]

Pitto has been playing under duress… 2 weeks rest will do him good.

The AFL have made it clear to clubs that they do not want them resting excessive numbers of players in the final round when results are no longer relevant. I suspect that savvy clubs would "omit" the odd player, or flag a non-existent injury, to avoid scrutiny.

That's conspiracy theory stuff.

Edit: Drawing a long bow not straws!

 

[Jimmae]

Good team

 

[Stamos]

I am very happy Pitto has been dropped. We have a choice of Fogarty of Pitto and the whole reason we turned our season around was forward pressure. Harry can go in the ruck for few minutes he might enjoy being freed up.

I'd be shocked if he's actually dropped.
He's sore, and needs a rest. If we name him sore, he can't be an emergency. Reckon there's a reasonable chance he'll be sub.

not that it matters, just curious to know the average age and amount of games played.

Any chance that Gov or Cerra are a late out ??

Hope not. Wouldn't have thought so.

 

[WalshYouLegend]

Anyone know the extent of Cripps injury? Will he be cherry ripe for his first final?

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Hmm I do not like the idea of Harry rucking coming off knee surgery.
Also not sure I like deviating from the two ruck approach with one game to go.

Don't think it is a rest for Pittonet if he is listed as omitted and not soreness like Cripps and Doc.

Maybe there is some mind games to it. See how it plays out.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

I did wonder when the call would come on Marchy. If his last name was Plowman, some of his efforts from the last few weeks would have seen him drawn and quartered.

All that aside, this has to be the shonkiest team listing in history. Let's see what late changes appear on gameday.

 

[Jimmyonesix]

We turn the ball over way to much to be running Pitto tdk and Harry -- we need a strong ground ball presence -- happy for one to miss -- Harry may have to do some Ruck
