Chol wasn't great tonight but dropping him for Lynch isn't a straight swap. Lynch would come in for Caddy. Bolton in for Ross. If we play Prestia, Pickett misses. Tough calls. Not sure we can go into a final with just Nank in the ruck.

Pickett not going to get dropped that wing position is his and is versatile to play other positions you can see his born for finals.Hard on Ross our midfield last 2 weeks look better with him in there.

Pickett is overrated. Limited dusposal winner. How can getting the footy on a wing 8 times in a game be acceptable. People love the Pickett story but his output isnt up to AFL standard unfortunately. Deserves to be dropped based on performance.

Argument could be put forward that Pickett deserves to be dropped for pee weak efforts alone, not even worrying about getting 2 touches per quarter.
I work in Africa and they were taking the pee out of me for saving Africa.......

Actually read in yesterday's HUN Pickett has laid the most tackles this season

Not sure why you dislike him but he is actually playing his role very well and i can't recall any pee weak efforts. He looks reasonably strong at the man and footy in my eyes and runs very hard both ways. Playing in the best team in the comp, me thinks he can play :shh

Pickett or Aarts or even both may not go all the way.

Lynch & Bolton in
Chol & Caddy out
I'd give Prestia an extra week and not play him week one although if we win he then misses another week so it's a tough one. 
If Prestia comes in you'd think Ross goes out.

Assuming all of lynch, Bolton and Prestia are fit, I think most would agree chol and Ross will make way for 2 of the spots. The last spot is the one where people seem to be the most divided but it’s got to come from one of these 7 players who have at one point or another lost their place in the side (other than castagna):

McIntosh
Pickett
Graham
Aarts
Rioli
Castagna
Caddy

Whoever goes out is going to be super unlucky. I would fairly confidently say the first 3 are safe and the last out will be one of the smalls or Caddy. If I had to guess I would say Caddy based on team balance.

His only pee weak efforts this season is his interest in chasing his other efforts have been good.

Don't dislike him, just think he's put in some ordinary efforts at times and think a little more consistency wouldn't go astray. I'd imagine his spot isn't totally secure. Someone has to make way for Prestia and the easy option is to drop the kid (Ross) but I reckon he's been good. Someone will be unlucky

The Lions will be at full strength.

Harris Andrews set to make welcome return from hamstring injury in the club’s first final.

And in further good news for the Lions, key midfielder Jarrod Berry will be right to return from a shoulder injury against the Tigers.
