Agree. Definitely won’t be Dave.No chance. When was the last time Hardwick overhauled arguably the strongest part of the team?

That’s right. Might do the odd boundary throw in but won’t go near the CentreLynch won't ruck.
Yeah Broad. Won’t be as an extra defender. How many do we need?Surely has to be one of Balta or Broad? We've brought in an extra tall backman so you'd think one of them will be relief rucking.
without getting ahead of ourselves, i think we also need a structure, and back up ruck, that we can use against Port, and probably the Lions (or possibly the Cats- surely the pies dont make the GF.) If what we do works we wont swap moving forward.With Aarts out Bolton will play his role. We have 7 mids so that's surplus. Lynch is in for Chol. Chol just too timid cannot trust him in a final again.
Saints 2nd ruck aint tall. So whether its Balta (194 cms who can jump like no 2moro giving Nank a chop out) or Broad (192 cms) height wise they will be fine. If it was Paddy and Marshall that's another story. Broad has a good motor so can hurt them around the ground (if he plays 2nd ruck).
This is an inspired change. You cannot keep Chol to what he has dished up the last 2 weeks.

Wonder if that will be our downfall tomorrow night.Disappointingly Mabs form left us no choice but to change a structure that's worked.
Broad in as they're worried about Membrey, Marshall & King up fwd but it also releases Balta or Broad to pinch hit in Chol's role.
Noah's looked a bit displaced with Dave back. Aartsy unlucky to drop form at the wrong time.
To change a game plan quite substantially at this point is necessary but not ideal.
The Soldo injury has required this shift in thinking.
Players returning, or playing new roles has us a touch vulnerable but we're going to have to be adaptable to get the job done.
Think we will.

Do we still win the GF if we win tomorrow?Not sure why we are worried about selections. If we can't beat the Saints with the outs they just had then we don't deserve to be anywhere near a Grand Final

Yep. Sticking with that call. We beat the Saints we win the PremiershipDo we still win the GF if we win tomorrow?
