I like Graham, coming along nicely, but is a QF too much for a third game? Trial by fire I guess but you can't drop Townsend on his last two games. It's a tough decision but I would bring in Caddy for Graham. Finals footy is a physical slog and we need as many capable experienced bodies as we can muster.

not sold on caddy in the slightest but he must play ahead of the kids, purely due to his experience.

I think I'd drop Markov before Graham.

Agreed...

Both are clean by hand and foot and don't seem to panic, and in finals that exactly what you need. I think both have shown in the last couple of weeks that they can more than play at the level. Another 7 odd tackles from Graham too which cannot be ignored.

Really good clinical and for the most part polished performance yesterday. The qual final against Geelong is just a huge test against a battle hardened side that probably boasts some of the best poise and calmness under pressure in the whole comp - they continually know how to win the close ones and get up for the big ones. I have no doubt it will take our very best and some luck to knock em off.  Where's claw?

Probably still waiting for Melbourne to finish above us.

Believe Caddy will be brought in at either the expense of Graham or Markov. Given Townsend has kicked eleven goals in two matches I do not think they will drop him. Caddy's experience will count in his favour.

Ouch. It's pretty soft of Claw to be missing in our hour of need. Oh well, I'm sure he will swoop like Brandon Ellis on a loose ball on the wing if we lose next week..
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Watched 360 for the first time in ages last night but Richardson made a few encouraging comments about our game. He said we brought a pressure that haven't experienced this year. Hope that's what we take into the finals.
