Richmond will be better with Martyn and possibly Nankervis back this week.

Carroll did more than enough on Friday night to hold his spot and probably come into the 22. I'm not sure Cincotta comes in as we have Newman, Saad, Williams and Boyd as the smaller/running defenders.
Fantasia didn't get a lot of the ball the other night, but when he did, some of his disposal was superb and he could be a bit of a surprise packet this year.
I doubt we'll be experimenting too much. Acres has been one of the standout wingmen in the competition and his running ability makes it a great position for him. He covers the ground as good as anyone.
Ollie Hollands was pretty quiet but his form in the pre-season games suggests he'll hold his spot.
So maybe it's just Carroll into the 22 and Binns in as the sub.
Richmond were terrible yesterday in the first half and if we get plenty of ball, Curnow and Harry should have a night out.

I'd be staggered if Boyd comes in....he was playing well until he got suspended but has missed way too much footy to risk it in a game like this?

Assuming Acres and Docherty are right to go, we're pretty much at full strength other than Williams and Silvagni. As much as I'd love JSOS in the team, he's missed too much footy now to risk bringing him back. The Pitto/TDK combination has worked really well in the first two finals....both were huge last week in different ways and nullified Gawn's overall influence.....along with TDK's two goals.
Safe travels to all you east coasters heading up to the Gabba for the game.

I'd keep Owies in. Him and Motlop provide plenty of pressure and as someone else mentioned, Owies has consistently hit the scoreboard when he plays. I think Kennedy might be the other one that makes way, with Hollands remaining as the sub.
I thought Marchbank was ordinary on Friday night and made plenty of errors. But likely we'll need him down back as the other "tall" to maybe play on Hipwood.

If JSOS is fit, straight in this week, and still play both ruckmen.
I'd like to see Motlop into the 22 and maybe Dow as the sub.
Marchbank was pretty shaky early on Friday night but steadied and I thought he was okay. Playing him would also give us the option of swinging McGovern forward at stages if needed.
Charlie, Doc and Cripps were all a bit below their best for big parts of the game last week, so plenty of upside there too.
