Agree with most of your post, however lose to the Eagles and beat the Pies and we most likely finish fourth...though I don't relish an away final to the Swines.

...and it only takes 1 upset in the North v Swans, Crows v Power and Crows v Eagles games for us to qualify '3rd' and play Geelong in an 'away' final at the MCG

With Sicily and Litherland both flying over there's almost certainly going to be a late out.

If Sicily wasn't a good chance of playing I reckon they would've left him behind. And if it was Burton that was coming out that would've just been done at selection last night. Hopefully it's not Gunston. But I think it could be :|

And said in preview thread I reckon Brand might go out for Litherland if it's wet.
Please not Gunston...huge out.

If the likes of Sicily and Lithers don't get a run tonight, can they get a flight back at a reasonable hour tonight after final teams are announced and still play for Box Hill?
 
Why would Gunston travel if he is a late scratching?
Cyril did in Tassie a couple of weeks ago. Friday game especially shortens your recovery time to get up. If you think he's a chance you name him and take him and give him up until the warm up to stake his claim
 
My biggest concern is the power rangers getup, although perhaps this being it's last wearing will give us a lift.

F*&k. Forgot we still had to wear that crap again.
:thumbsdown::rage:
 
Good to see most punters, "experts" and tipsters are picking the eagles to win this one. Had to laugh at a couple of the Marngrook tippers who picked the Eagles to win in an upset. Last time i looked, the Eagles were warm favourites, especially on their home deck, after such a convincing away win against a fellow top 8 team (their 2nd for the year!!) and with NicNat in the best form of his life!
Gently, under the radar, we shall glide...

Well he might not be. But if he is then it could be strategic. They'll no doubt have spent considerable time in their preparation working out how to combat his influence. No point giving them the extra time to prepare for a slightly different looking forward line - one that would likely be based around Rioli as the key target - by letting them know the day before.

This is all speculation of course. Maybe Sicily doesn't come in at all and he's simply come across just in case someone gets hurt in the warm up.
 
I'm interested to see how Brand goes tonight. He has quietly gone about his work over the past few weeks in a Stratts/Brichall type way and has fitted into the backline really nicely.

The only knock on him is decision making at times, but given how little games he has played it's to be expected. Frawley took most of the season to fit into the system, as did Lake so you can't blame Brand doing the same.

What I like about him is that he always seems to be in the contest, he's rarely being found out on the quick turnover. He'll get Darling today and that's a good match up for him.

Isn't it more a case of given that it's over there you take the emergencies in the unlikely event of a withdrawal anyway? If someone went down say Friday morning or Thursday night, you'd be flying someone over at 6am the day of the game (or be unable to if it was Friday morning). Much better to have a couple over there just in case.
