As we continue to build up to the big dance on Saturday.
As team selection looks to settle, we've looked to combine the predicted sides for the weekend. What exactly would that look like? Who makes it in the combined best 23? Who doesn't?
All is revealed with our combined best 23-man team for this weekend's Grand Final.
3. Forwards
HF: Brody Mihocek (Coll), Eric Hipwood (BL), Zac Bailey (BL)
Mihocek has proven himself to be one of the better forwards in the competition both in front of the goal and up the ground. His ability to work up in support to receive the relieving mark on the wing before working back into the forward line has made him much more versatile than he has ever been. Hipwood received a lot of criticism earlier in the year and now seems to crash nearly every contest - exactly what forwards should be doing, allowing their smaller teammates to get to work such as Bailey. Bailey lives off the crumb if the ball comes to the ground and he is always near. It almost seems guaranteed that a score is coming when he's around, making him a solid player in this lineup.
FF: Charlie Cameron (BL), Joe Daniher (BL), Jamie Elliott (Coll)
Cameron has been one of, if not the best small forward this season. Week in, and week out, defenders are left fumbling and holding at every chance in the hopes of stopping him. No one else on either roster creates that kind of fear amongst the opposition. Daniher has also risen to the occasion in recent times, putting more forward pressure on and slowly taking more marks per game. Not only that, but he has gotten his teammates involved after scrutiny of being selfish earlier this season. Of course, we had to add Elliot, one of the most clutch players in the game and one that can have an impact anywhere on the ground. Elliot provides himself as a nice marking target despite a smaller build.
