Grimes and Chimp out ....
Cats will be primed for revenge.
Must get Dusty and Tigga back otherwise we are going too thin with guns.
Cotch and Grimes massive outs, adding to Prestia & Lambert, that's a big hit to our midfield; still not confident or convinced on RCD yet & Ross looks half the player that he was prior to his foot injury (thanks Fyfe), but we just have to give Ross a good run of games to gain confidence.
Vlas is touch and go too, ideally we would probably like to give him another week (article mentions still having pain kicking over 30m), but we may feel forced to rush him back now with Grimes out, hasn't played since R1. Cameron back in the team the last few weeks for them also compounds Grimes absence, so Flossy will be very important.
Cats will be so primed and fired up to take us down; the obvious beatings we've given them in the last 3 finals plus add to the sad passing of Frank Costa, they will be internally fired to the max to beat us. They should of beaten the Swans, killed them in all the stats & dominated for most parts of the game, they are in good form, previous weeks thumping of the Eagles.
If we can find enough grunt around the ball & break close to even in the midfield, we will take these pussies down. Nank should dominate in the ruck so we just need our foot solidiers around the midfield to match it with them. Huge game and ramifications for our top 4 aspirations. Go Tiges!
