Conca going down early went a long way towards costing us the Carlton final two years ago. Dimma gambling on a bloke who's clearly underdone would betray a lack of confidence. Would be the first alarm bell for me.

I thought he was important in the win against the Hawks and showed he could step in after a layoff. If he's fit he plays IMO.
If he pings his hammy then I'll be the first to say it was a mistake to pick him but the medicos will put him through the ringer before the game so I'm not overly worried on that front.

I was expecting Conca and Morris as emergencies, and then either Astbury, Dea or Hampson.
Griffiths is no chance surely....
i reckon they would keen to play him.
his attack on high balls in to our f50 would be helpful. as would his ruckwork.
as for his broken finger, i dont think it should effect him much.
he doesnt actually mark much, and his kicking cant be much worse, so play him i reckon.
In:Griff
out: Lloyd.

I think we'll go unchanged. Of the 'ins', Conca's body is still suspect and will be tested in the increased intensity of a final, Griffiths has had no match practice and Morris is Morris. The only change I could see is Conca for Newman, and Conca to be used as the sub, but we all know that won't happen.
I was surprised how well conca went after a long lay off against the Hawks,
So maybe with that little bit of recent history , he is a chance , the coaching staff will know more about his fitness than us , I personally don't see the need to gamble too much on this . Any doubt , get him right for next year.

Was just pointed out to me that the last time we played the 3 talls in Vickery, Riewoldt & Griffiths was against Freo at Subiaco. That worked pretty well for us..
Fine sunny day certainly makes the idea of the 3 talls partially tempting.
I guess the option of being able to throw Griffiths back if necessary is also a consideration, and the chance to throw 3 ruckman at Goldstein to try and wear him down.

Griff is a confidence player, after such a long layoff does he have confidence in his finger/hand to step straight in a play CHF in such an important game?
