Since MM just made another public statement about Rocca still being in the mix, I can't see how he can not pick him this week. It would be very risky to pick him for a final without a single seniors game under his belt. Even more true for a mid, so I think McCarthy is probably out for this year - unless he too is picked this week which seems unlikely. Then again MM claims not to care whether we finish 3rd or 4th, so it would actually make a lot of sense.Only change that needs to happen is:
IN: Rocca
OUT: Brown
There is no obvious match up for Brown (as we saw last time) and Rocca has a great record against the Dogs.
At worst, he'll keep Lake of Jack's back.
The experiment could include dropping journeyman to see if the side still needs what amounts to hardness training wheels. However Anvil's defensive work has improved a lot. His main problem is slowness against a leading forward, which could potentially cut us to pieces if an opposition gets on top in the midfield - eg if White had got better service.
I could see Steele potentially being handy under finals pressure but he has played seniors relatively recently so there's not the same urgency.
