Not sure what game you watched last week but Waterman busted his ass all game to provide a link.

Petrucelle out means that Hutchings/Masten rotate off a Half Forward flank?
Do. Not. Like.
Would rather Cameron in.

Might be worth writing apologetic pieces for the fringe talls now (ie. Schofield & Waterman). If we get run off the park tomorrow, it will not be their fault. The MC will need to take responsibility.
Gambling everything on a contested marking game might have some value from an energy conservation perspective - control the ball, be efficient. But after what we sat through last Saturday night, I'm nervous.

So let's see here...
Out: Brown, Wellingham, Lycett, Giles, Priddis, Hill, Lecras, Butler
In: Waterman, Jetta, Naitanui, Hickey, Redden, Rioli, Ryan, Nelson
Call me crazy, but the 2019 version is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster than the 2016 version.

I'd almost rather risk letting Saad play a game changing game coming out of their defensive half than to risk Hutchings. If we go one down with all our talls and with their speedy endurance players we are done.

2 of those ins have been injured twice in their last what? 4 games? Add the cloud over Hurn.
I'm not sure about this. Looks wrong structurally and even if we win they'll not want to tinker with it.

Hutch will play as a permanent tagging forward, stopping Saad. Same thing he did last time we played.
He was doing it for a few weeks prior to his first injury vs Hawthorn.
In 2016 we didn’t have quick forwards like Willie and Ryan, that and it was a wet game. From memory Lycett was under an injury cloud and we stupidly thought Mitch Brown would be a good idea lol. Ideally Waterman out and Ah Chee/Cameron would be the only other change I’d make.

Can't think of anything, but lets look at the differences:
Naitanui didn't do his knee 2 rounds back
The opposition won 12 games instead of 15
The opposition are still missing 3 best 22 players (Daniher, D Smith and Zaharakis)
We had a bad loss in the last round rather than a big unexpected win.
I reckon it'll be quite different this time.

I probably don't know as much as some other folks in here about roles in the team and the like, but this is comforting. I was getting nervous reading some of the posts in here.
Congrats on Nelson, Waterman and Hickey playing in their first final. Devo for Allen but with him out it won’t crowd the forward line if he was playing. Nic Nat/hickey will play off the bench and not rest in the forward line. I guess with Waterman he can actually play quite high which gives us a good outlet.

Echo calls for Waterman out, Cameron in, but I think saying that’s the determining factor in how this plays out is a huge leap. I love Cameron and have had Waterman earmarked as an out in this game for weeks now, but if you told me Cameron played and was invisible in a game we lost, I could believe it. Putting so much on that one change is over stating it for me.
The underdone players is a much more worrying factor to me than the height of our team. I don’t care what the tape measure reads. There’s no centimetre threshold to mobility or endurance. Waterman can run with the best of them. More concerned over a potential rushing of Hutch and cloud over Hurn than who is over an arbitrary height threshold.
