Jackington
Back Flank Battler
Agree with the Geelong forwards vs Richmond defenders battle being key here.
Richmond easily win the midfield battle on paper. Geelong backline (I think) slightly edges out the Tigers forwardline.
Grimes to cover Jez inside 50 - did a phenomenal job on Curnow last weekend - and Broad to follow him around the ground would be the matchup as I see it. Makes the inclusion of Gary Rohan
critical to matchups, as it could force Broad to lock down on him instead.
This game is as juicy as they come. Both sides close to full strength (Geelong missing Henry and Parfitt, Tigers missing Balta and Cotchin). Recent history suggests Geelong win this one and then lose the upcoming finals matchup between the two.
