Who do you choose ?
We are in the Grand Final again against Richmond, who gets that last spot.
Lots of talk about the two wingman.
Both guys run both ways, Rat has the flashy 'skilled' game or Knights who has that hard edge but doesn't find the ball as often.

The WB final gets Knighter in for me, even though that was a while ago but I haven't seen Atkins have a better final yet.

What do you think ?

More importantly, which KPD, even if they're in good form, misses due to lack of a match up.

The club doesn't have it in them to drop MacKay/Atkins for finals but I hope it happens.

Jenkins has been okay so far but he had 0 disposals in the second quarter vs Carlton when they were on a run, which is a sign he hasn't learn't anything.

Since Don Pyke became the Adelaide coach the RAT has played 56 straight games on the wing.

Over the same period Riley Knight has played 22 games and exactly 9 minutes as a wingman.

I am a Riley Knight fan and I believe he could play this role but not while The SEED (ranked 1 in the AFL for total metres gained) and The RAT (ranked 18 in the AFL for total metres gained) are fit, it’s not gunna happen.

Mine isn't too different (Knight for Kelly), assuming everyone is fit & in form, which would be a miracle given our injury run.

B: Brown, Talia, Doedee
HF: Smith, Hartigan, Laird
C: Seedsman, Mrouch, Gibbs
HF: Lynch, Walker, Knight
F: Betts, Jenkins, McGovern
R: Jacobs, Sloane, Brouch
I: Milera, Greenwood, Douglas, Gallucci

Next in line:
Small defender: Kelly
Key Position: Otten
Ruck: ROB
Inside midfielder: CEY
Outside midfielder: Atkins
Small forward: bring in another midfielder
Utility: Mackay

Looks like Gallucci has had a rapid rise in the ranking with you guys, it will be interesting to see how many games he plays this year
