Maybe Lonie in for Holland, other than that it seems pretty good.

If you're going on current form, injuries, etc., doubt Molloy would make it, even by then. His year may be over but we can still look forward to him having a big impact next year.:)

Pretty good lineup

Scotland would be in the starting 18 - O'Bree on the bench.
Lonie in for Holland
Fraser at full forward Tarrant on a flank/pocket.

Spot on Lockyer24. McGough in for Freeborn would be my prefered line up, but it's a great sign that we're quibbling over the positions and not the players.

We're a pretty settled unit, we've just topped up injured/inexperienced players throughout the year so far. The axe has stayed in the shed so far, I hope it stays there.

I think Molloy is being carefully reserved for maximum finals punch. He's no goalsneak, but in the pressure-cooker atmosphere of finals, an experienced tough nut is vital. Geez thats funny, he's 24 (?just 25?) and he's one of our elder statesmen.

I just hope we can take the acid in a hot final. We've added a mean streak to our footy this year, and we're able to live with the rugged sides (eg brisbane and Footscray) so that bodes well for the September grind.

If you just ignore them it doesn't degenerate the thread because it was a good topic. I will make my finals team in time, just can't be bothered doing it now.
