Thanks rocky. Is Jack Silvagni's omission because of injury or just because he's omitted ?

Apparently, and as I say, reliable until proven wrong, it was a lack of match fitness. I know what your thinking, well what about Kennedy?! I can only assume Kennedy without match fitness offers more than JSOS without match fitness. As a few mentioned earlier there was a concern about taking two in under those circumstances.

Thanks rocky. Appreciate that.

That's funny because there's strong mail the Jack is definitely playing  :-\

I guess we'll have to wait until the teams are announced or Vossy says who'll be included.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Jack re-injured his knee when he tried to play VFL so we just might not be confident he can get through.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Its always a risk, but you know someone like Jack will sacrifice his body to get it done. He'd go out there on crutches if we needed him too.

TBH, with the makeup of the team, we probably do. Its either him or Young, and i don't trust young under the pressure of finals footy. He was failing under limited pressure in nothing games early on the season.

I think for team balance i'd prefer to take a risk with Jack in the side. Rather than be safe and limit our chances of winning.

A lot of tough choices required for this match.

Signing Young Until 2026 seems like one they might like to take back.
The lad's confidence seemed shot.
You would like to think that there is some support for him to help him get back on track...otherwise it's a wasted space on our list.

JSOS can fill in for McKay, Kennedy can't.

Final training session was today I think. I think maybe Kennedy got more hours under his belt on the training track and Vossy loves him.

Kennedy could play FF at a pinch.
He could play in the middle and allow Cripps to play more forward.

If Jack doesn't play, he's literally our next best option....which is a worry.

TDK was very busily practicing his forward craft at training, (Ch7 News). That what we went with last time against Melbourne. Only difference though from the last Melbourne game is Martin. Kennedy, even Kemp forward in that role?

Seems your mail is good.
