pickett has to be odds on now to replace graham

he has one thing that kmac and ross lack....skillful disposal

dimma is busting to pick him

Error NO, still long odds

Pickett looked good yesterday and several weeks ago I would've been keen for him to get a call up but it's too late now it's a GF not a qualifying final. He may have been awarded best on ground but I'm not 100% convinced he is what we need for Saturday

 I want to see someone like Macca who has been there before and can execute.

FWIW I'm not 100% on the dual ruck combo, cos I feel that we lose leg speed with two.
What are people thoughts on that?

Big no from me. Nank didn't look up to it.

Soldo + Balta. Soldo to mostly ruck, Balta to relieve + cover Mumford around the ground (IE run circles around him). Chol even. But no to Nank, he's too slow.

Graham out for me. KMac in is my first preference, then maybe Ross.

I'd say Ross is coverage for Graham & McIntosh is coverage for Broad... :shh

I love the narrative of Pickett playing in the GF but realistically we cannot possibly have a guy debut in a bloody GF.

I'd probably have Soldo and Chol rather than Balta, I think Chol's been the more likely forward throughout the season.

Ross feels like the obvious replacement for Graham, but Kmac does have the credits in the bank, so I'd be tempted to go with him as well.

Think we need to keep Nank in for Mumford.

Ross in for GRaham.
McIntosh back up in case for Broad.

Pickett in for either of Rioli or Bolton, probably Rioli.
Been very ordinary for a while and Bolton has shown some very brief glimpses.

I would say lucky one change that's all.Broad be fine.I was in the camp to replace Nank ,but he will be better for the run and need him against Mumford to and was hoping Chol play a blinder in vfl.A few guys need to lift Jack,Rioli and Lambert to.

McIntosh in for Graham is the smart move IMO.
