First glance it's a giant 'No!'
You would be reluctant to play Martin...for the obvious reasons.
But have Zac and Martin ever played forward at the same time?
It would be a bit of a headache for a defence with McKay and Curnow there as well.

It really is an all or nothing game for us...so maybe you roll the dice and hope both Williams and Martin can finish a game.

Either way I'll be there to see it.  Just bought our tickets for the game.

Win or lose, I'll see another Carlton final.  Haven't missed one since 2011. 😀

I missed them both last year. First one I booked a trip to Adelaide before our streak started and the second one only had standing room tickets and my father in law can't stand for that long.

I will go to Sydney if we win.

Question: If Port lose week 1 v Geel, do they play at home in Adelaide week 2?

Both? You know there was 3 finals we were in.

I was at all 3, making the road trip up to the Gabba and back because i left it all too late to do anything else.

Won't be seeing any this year unless its the GF though.

I've only been to Docklands for Carlton a couple of times other than to watch my sons play, otherwise it's The G for me and The G alone, of course I use to go to PP religiously.

Good luck trying to pick a side next week given the following are a chance:
Curnow McKay De Koning McGovern Williams Cerra and potentially Docherty.

Owies out is a certainty.

For me I'd go with:

FB Cowan Weitering Saad
HB Newman Young/McGovern Kemp
C Hollands Cripps Acres
HF Kennedy McKay Hollands
FF Williams Curnow Fantasia
R Pittonet/De Koning Hewett Walsh
Int Cerra Cincotta Lord Moir
Sub Docherty
Cant decide on Young or McGovern, I'd lead towards Young as we need two big backs to look after Daniher and Hipwood. McGovern doesn't cut the mustards on either of those.
Cant decide on Pittonet or De Koning. I doubt TDK will get up this week given he had a punctured lung and fracture foot so I reckon Pitto gets the nod.
Against everything I have ever said, I will back in Williams to a. get up and b. give something as a small fwd.
Is it Durdin or Fantasia for the other pocket?

Of the newbies, Lord and Moir must remain. Lord will get better with every game and has some toughness about him, you need tough nuts in finals. Moir has class, strong hands and X factor.

I'm dropping Motlop Carroll (unlucky) Binns and Durdin (also unlucky) and Owies is suspended.

I can bring myself to trust Martin

Having said all that, there might only be 3 changes from last week with Curnow McKay and McGovern coming in for Owies ?? and ??

HF Kennedy McKay Hollands
FF Williams Curnow Motlop
R Pittonet Hewett Walsh
Int Cerra Cincotta Carroll Fantasia
Sub Martin
In Curnow McKay McGovern Cerra Williams Martin
Out Owies Young Moir Lord Durdin Binns
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set

Kemp has demonstrated he is a forward. Why would you move him into defence? Martin is not physically reliable, why would you play him? Since Young has played we have kept WCE to four goals and St.Kilda to eleven, we have struggled against tall forwards all year, why would you not play him. McGovern is always a worry physically and Young can take the centre square rucking duties when required.
I think Moir, Lord, Binns and Owies won't play, hopefully McKay,  McGovern, Curnow and Williams will play. Cerra, Docherty, Martin and TDK would have to demonstrate they can get through a game. Boyd won't be ready for a couple of weeks I believe.

Probably be more of a headache for the Drs and Physio.....
