    I think we def need to follow the same structure to begin with. If it is so wet that our structure is not working then we still have the option of subbing off pykey and bringing on parker

      Myke should survive if for no other reason we really don't have a suitable small to bring in. Parks is probably now at the stage after being the sub so many weeks that he would really struggle if thrown in from the start, particularly at the pace and intensity of a GF. Armstrong is also well short of a gallop and doesn't provide that option up forward we would be looking to bring in. TDL is more of a small leading forward then a crumber.

      Bottom line, if McGlynn was fit enough to come back in, I think some very very serious consideration would have been given to leaving Myke out if it is wet. I think he will now survive regardless...

        Yep. The Pyke/Mummy double team has been working well lately. Really been helping with winning the ball, especially at the throw ins.

        Would have loved to have seen Mighty Mouse gut running the MCG though. Ah well. Hopefullly next year.

        On a side note, I wonder who will get the gig in the GF Sprint. It's been Pykey the last year or two.

          I'd think Harry C would be in the mix......

                        Pykey is agile, no disrespect to say seaby but if he was in and its wet id worry. But pykey can play in the wet, back him in
                        Theres not much left to say

                              He'll play. No risk whatsoever. Our ruck with Mummy and Pyke has been a huge strength for us so why would we change it?

                                I certainly hope Mike plays, but the OP may be on to something ...
